Memory in Old Persons.
Youth 5 Companion.

The brain ia the instrument of the
mind. Every thought and feeling is de-
pendent on certain changes that take
place between it and the blood. Mental
activity may be quickened or retarded,
exalted or depressed, by the action of
drugs upon the brain. Singular effects
are produced by cerebral disease.
Age works permanent changes in the
brain; it shrinks its bulk and hardens
its substance. In consequence Of this
there is a change of mental manifesto
tions. The mind acts more slowly in old
persons 1t does not turn readily to new
subjects, and is not capable of as pro-
tractod or as lofty efforts. The feelings,
too are much lessencd in susceptibility.
But in the memory the most marked
changes occur. Some persons who have
been more than ordinarily gifted in this
respect III old age become peculiarly
deficient in memory. With the aged re-
cent facts and events are not 80 readily
taken up into the mental atorehouse, and
what is learned is sooner forgotten.
At the same time the past stands out
in vivid contrast with the present. Early
habits return again. For instance, the
pronunciation or the spelling of youth
often reappears,to the surprise of friends.
Sins, early repented of and forsaken, OBJ
trude themselves painfully on the men,
ory.
From this we see how important it is
that the associations and habits of youth
are such as shall give only pleasure in
old age. 49,,
If one would not sink into imbecility
when the brain begins to shrink, let him
cultivate all his powers right along
through life. The aged should take spe-
cial pains to keep up their mental ac'
iyity,

Some unprincpled dealers. because they
could see a few cents more profit, have been
guilty of offering worthless substitutes for
the only original and genuine Sulphur Soap
-Glenn's by name. Therefore the public
should guard against this deception, and
always ask for "Glenn's Sulphur Soap" by
its full name, and take no other.
Read the following evidence from a
highly respectable source:
DETROIT, MIcH.. Aug. 6, 1879.
G. N. CRITTENroN. EsQ.-Dear Sir: have
travelled for three years for Messrs. Charles
Scribners Sons, Publishers, New York, and
desire to inform yon that have used your
incompatible "Glenn's Sulphur Soap" ex
cusively for about four years; also have
recommended It to very many persons and
my constant experience has been that it
possesses all the medical advantages that
you claim for it. All to whom l have re-
commended it say, as well as myself, that
vt deserves its established reputation as the
best and most eflicacious Sulphur Soap that
can be used for all skin cleansing, as well
as toilet purposes. Some unprincipled
drug store keepers have endeavored to SUBJ
stitute other kinds of Sulphur Soap for
Glann's-saying they were "just as good"
but having myself tried other kinds, find
none are so good or so beneficial as the
genuine Sui phur Soap stamped "Glenn's"
which also have learned to observe always
bears the name of &C. N. Crittenton, Pro-
prietor." Oh the packet.
Yours truly,
C. r. H. DURAND.

A London correspondent describes
Charles Reade as "a big manipulating
fellow, not fat, but large-framed and
muscular. He is very fond of physical
exercise such as rowing. riding, cricket,
swimming, and, Notwithstanding his
hair is grizzled, his stalwart body shows
no signs of weakness or decay. He is
neat though careless in dress, and resem-
bles, with his ruddy face, easy gait
and unconventional manner, a aprosper-
Gus farmer. He likes congenial COM
pany, but not formal society, which, as a
rule, he takes pains to avoid. He is in
the sense of the word a Bohemian, and
enjoys himself vastly with lot OF good
fellows and lively actresses over pipes
and bowl of punh. He is not dissipat-
ed nor sensual. He is bachelor, but
has spacious, pleasant house i'll the sub.
urbs of the city, with any quantity OF
bric-a-brac pictures, engrayings, flowers
and comfortable things about him.
Reade is very methodical worker, usu-
ally spending from four to seven hours
daily in his library, three or four OF these
at his desk, pen in hand. Hc writes rap
idly, but generally goes very carefully
over his manuscript, erasing, adding,
and frequently throwing away sheet
after sheet"

The Pistol in America.

Albany de Fonblanque, in an article
on "The Pistol in America" in the Gen
tleman's Magazine, London, gives the
following information to English read
ers:
every State in the American Union
has law against carrying concealed
weapons, and every pair of pants manu-.
factured from Maine to California, and
from the Lakes to the Mexican Gulf, has
pistol pocket.
at is very seldom that an American
newspaper gives dry and verbatim ac'
count of an ordinary criminal trial, but
they rejoice in comic law reports. Two
the Detroit Free Press and the Dan.
bury News-have made themselves ia.
nous and rich by turning the admins
tration of justice into ridicule.
SIN the great American drama the
gospel of the pistol is extensively
preached. Here the moral is pointed
with revolvers and the tale adorned with
the bowie-knife.
Refusing to drink with even casual
acquaintance is an affront for which pis
tolls are commonly drawn, and in many
cities | could name, no commercial trans
action is complete without drink be-
tween the parties. They 60 to a bar as

Notes From Away Down EasA
detroit Free Press.l

The more we know of the East, the
more apparent it becomes that many of
our modern ideas and conceptions are
only new forms of very old ones.
China invented not only gunpowder
and the mariners compass, but paper
money. 1t is generally admitted that
many religious doctrines and ceremo-
nies come from India while the system
and practice of strikes and trades union
has been long in vogue there.
The marked feature of labor strikes
in civilized communities is their failure,
that is, compared with their success. But
the strikes carried on by the laborers Of
India are marvels of combination, unity,
obedience and expedition. The famous
caste system of that country is not solely
of a religious character. There are trade
castes and profession castes. By means
of these they are able to obtain higher
prices for their commodities than they
can in open market. They maintain two
prices, one for the poor native and a
higher one for the European who can
get no abatement. Nor is there any pre-
tense of concealing the fact. No one born
outside of the caste can be apprenticed
to its trade, and all born inside must be.
During the famine of 1877 Bombay
was filled with distressed natives seeking
food and shelter. Hospitals were erect
ed and the police by mistake undertook
to convey thither some sickly looking
coolies. The harbors were full of ships,
the quays crowded and swarming with
natives, landing and storing or shipping
the cargoes. The next morning not one
of these thousands of laborers was to be
seen, and the foreign commercial bust.
ness of Bombay stopped. The orders to
the police had to be withdrawn. All
this was accomplished without officers,
rules or funds. A few men, looked up to
as advisers, spoke the word, and those
thousands obeyed instantaneously.
This power of combination, the result
of centuries of inherited instinct, is so
tremendous and active that they do not
need to spend their money keeping up a
visible and formal organization. Be-
tween times it is unseen; it is "the sleep
ing giant Of their constitution" but
when occasion requires wakes and accom-
plishes its purpose They are afraid that
if they establish union after the Euro
pean or American pattern, the foreigners
would gain control and use it to their
disadvantage.
No doubt if Dennis Keamy should
ego" with the Chinese he would find in
their history some parsonage which would
not make him appear at all original or
strange in their eyes. They certainly
invented Jealousy of foreigners before
he did.

Glass Railway Sleepers.

A novel use for glass has been recent
ly found, and 50 far it answers we'll, viz,
AS sleepers for trainway lines. Soon
after De la Bastie introduced his method
of toughening glass, Mr.. F. Siemens of
Dresden commenced a series Of research
es, which have eliminated at present in
the production of very hard glass,
which, unlike the material produced by
the De la Bastie method, does not fly in
to million fragments when broken.
The sleepers, which are being tested on
the North Metropolitan line at Stratford,
are 3 feet long and 4 inches wide, by G
inches deep, the upper side being shap.
ed to fit the rail. The glass sleepers are
not so strong as those cut from sound
pine, but they are practically indestruc.
ible, and, what is more, are cheap.

The Sea Of Galileo.
Professor Bartlett.l

Ah0 0ea Oh u8ul60s
Professor Bartlett]
Riding by the foot of Hattin, over the
place where, 700 years ago, Saladin ami
hilated the crusaders power in Palestine,
we at length reached a ridge where we
looked out on the distant hills of Bashan,
and down far below us upon a dark blue
pear or harp-shaped sheet of water, lying
snugly in a deep inclosure of high brown
hills. Though less than 13 miles long
and seven miles broad, yet, measured by
the events it has witnessed, it is kind
of Pacific Ocean. 1t was the Sea of
Galilee.
As we moved over the long way down
ward to its level-650 feet below the
Mediterranean sea-we had time to
grasp and fix, its whole aspect and sur
roundings. 1t lacks boldness of outline,
for its hills slope gradually back from
the shore, or leave a narrow plain, as at
Gennesaret and Buthia. But the lights
and shadows lie swcctly on the hillsides
at night and morning; the northern end
is broken into pleasant little bays, and
Hermon looms grandly up beyond, far off,
yet seemingly near. The whole aspect of
the lake is one that suggests the thought
and the lack of beautiful homes. 1t
was still long ride to the lake. The
region we were passing, once brimful of
life and activity, was utterly forsaken
now. The entire lake lay spread before
us, and nearly the whole Of its coast line,
along or near which once lay the cities
of Tarichea, Tiberias, Hippo, Gamala,
Gergesa, Bethsaida, Chorazin, Capern-
aum, Magdala and Beth Arbel. Of these
cities, Tiberias once had its Senate of
900; Gamala was able to resist and de-
feat Vespasian at the head of three le-
gions, and when captured by Vespasian
and Titus it lost 1000 in the fight, and
5000 who hurled themselves or were
pushed down the precipices; while Ia
richea, according to Josephus, was able
at one time to furnish 16,500 for slaugh.
ter in sea fight with the Romans, 1900
slain in cold blood in the stadium, g..
900 captive youth to dig for Nero in the
isthmus and 80, 400 to be sold into sla-
very. The only existing visible repre-
sentatives of all this strength and aotivi-
ty were the little cluster of huts called
Mejdel (Magadala) and the shrunken Ii
bcrias with its 1000 inhabitants. From
our path not vestige of the other places
could be discerned. 1t was near sunset
when we entered Tiberias. We followed
the road through the gate, but could ca
silly have passed through the rents in the
walls. The now squalid city, mentioned
but once in the New Testament, has been
the chief home of Jewish learning since
the destruction of Jerusalem. Here the
Jerusalem Talmud was completed, and
here is now what may be called the
present theological schdtd Of the Jews

Two Kinds of Girls,
(Home Visitor.l

There are two kinds of girls; one is
the kind that appears best abroad-the
girls that are good for parties, rides, Wis
its, balls, ETC., and whose chief delight is
in such things. The other is the kind
that appears best at home-the girls that
are useful and cheerful in the dining
room, sick-room, and all the precincts at
home. They differ widely in character.
One is often torment at home-the 9th
er blessing; one is moth, consuming
everything about her-the other sun
beam, inspiring light and gladness all
around her pathway. The right kind OF
education will modify both, and unite
heir good qualities.
