Quality of the Brain.

The american Naturalist has an ac-
count of cheerful set of scientists in
France, calling themselves the Societe
d'Autopsie. Believing that the study of
the brain of a man whom we have
known, not only through his works, but
in his character and faculties, will con-
tribute to the advancement of knowl-
edge, the members of the society bind
themselves to surrender their brains to
the inspection of their fellows immedi-
ately upon death. The first to die was
Jules Asseza, thus losing his chance at
any other member. The second was a
NJ. Asseline, whose brain contradicts in
many ways important conclusions at
which students fthe brain thought they
had arrived The intelligence of M. As
seline was of an exquisite finesse that
was pushed even to subtlety, and yet the
convolutions of his brain were thick and
large. Broca, the great authority on
brains, was surprised to find it ola coarse
texture.

the legumes, otherwise the quantity of
vegetable matter required in order to
produce the necessary amount OF nutri-
mcnt would be 50 excessive rs to greatly
overtax the digestive organs. At least
ten pounds of purely vegetable food are
needed to furnish the quantity of nutri-
ment which the eater of a mixed diet de-
rives from three pounds of meat, bread,
fish and vegetables.
Anabsolute change of diet should be
made only under strong pressure and
with the greatest care, in order that the
digestive organs may gradually become
accustomed to the opposite. physical ac-
ton which attends the digestion and
assimilation of unusual kinds of food
The fact is generally conceded that
the eaters of a mixed diet are the
strongest and healthiest; but the I'M
mense variety of food products affords
an unlimited choice so that no man is
ever compelled to accept as his meat "
that which may prove his poison"
cannot close without reverting to the
injurious effect of concentrated foods.
In this connection | would advise a very
cautious use not only of those l have al
ready mentioned, such as eggs and gluten,
but also of all canned meats and fish and
concentrated broths or meat extracts.
All these articles should be used. in con-
nection with plenty of vegetables and
water, or bread. Wheaton crackers will
not take the bread because they present
no waste matter; Graham crackers are
much more wholesome because they con
tain plenty of waste. But an abundant
supply of fresh vegetables is the accom-
paniment forall concentrated foods.
In regard to the effect of cooking upon
food very few words must suffice. To
give even an outline of the subject would
require more time than has been set
apart for this lecture. The best food is
of small use unless it is properly cooked.
On the other hand appetizing and whole
some dishes can be produced from simple
and inexpensive materials. Headwork
as well as handwork must be given to
the mastery of culinary mysteries, and
yet the whole art can so far be simplitied
rs to place it within the understanding
ola child.
