How the Dog Knows.
llarpcr's Weekly.

II five cut open the head Of i man,
We shall find in it II large and highly
developed optic centre, directly con
ncctcd with the eye and the nerves of
sight, and having numerous side con
ncciions with other parts of the brain.
The large nervous mass accurately re-
fleets the extreme importance of sight
in the human system. Our world is
mainly II world of visible objects, cor
rcctcd and interpreted by the mdcu-
tions of our sense Of touch and of mus
cular activity. We think Of things
chiefly MS we see them, and very little
as we smell them or taste them. Ac-
cordingly we find that in man the
olactory lohcs, which stand To the
sense of smell in the same relation as
the optic centres stand to the sense Of
sight, are small and inconspicuous.
They have apparently but few connec-
tons with other parts of the brain, and
they do not answer to any large and
important associations Of ideas. We
find orr consciousness Of smells is
merely isolated, while orr conscious
ness of sights is continuous and closely
interviewer with all our thinking Forms
and colois, actual and ldcul, make up
the greater part Of our material uni
verse When we think of Paris, or of
Switzerland, or Of our friend Jones, our
ideas are mostly IDEAS OF their visible
aspect, and very little suspicion of any
other sense than sight enters into our
mental picture
ON the other hand, il We cut open

developed optic centre, much the

biz and very important olGactory lobe,

History of the Beard.
From the I.ondon Times.


French paper gives some notes on
the history Of the beard. In the earli-
est Pagan times the primitive deities
were represented with majestic boards.
In France they played great role
from the reign of Pharamond down
ward. Under Clovis the beard Of the
king was an object of peculiar venera-
ton, and indeed every individual was
more or less sensitive regarding his
beard. 1t is related that after the great
battle Of Tolbiac, Clovis sent deputa-
ton to the defeated Alaric requesting
him to come and touch the victors
beard rs token of alliance Far from
accepting the invitation in the spirit in
which it is was offered, the enraged
king Of the Huns seized the FranLish
emissaries by their boards, and hauled
them out of the room by their reyered
locks. The unfortunate ENJOYS re-
turned rather crest-fallen to Clovis, mar
rated what had happened, and swore
I OH their boards to ayenge the affront.
In subsequent reigns the beard was the
object of numerous enactments, and
the fashion of wearing it was changed
frequently. Sometimes it was worn
long, sometimes close-clipped, now
peaked, now plated, or even decorated
with pearls and gold trinkets. Even in
the sacred atmosphere of Rome itself
boards were the objects of considerable
discussion. Different Popes laid down
different rules on the subject. One Pom
It'll enacted that no boards were to be
worn; another as stringently directed
that the razor was never to be applied
to the chin. Saints Clement of Alex
andria, Cyprian, Jerome, and Chrysos-
tom engaged in vehement controversies
about the mode Of wearing the hair
about the face in the Fourteenth cen
fury. In France the final triumph Of
boards dates from the Renaissance,
when the example set by the great ar
fists, who largely INDUCED III these ap-
pendages, was closely followed by the
sovereign and other magnateS of the
land. Under Henry III. shaving chins
were the mode, the mustache being
worn long and dropping. During
Henry IN.'s reign boards cut square
came again into fashion, and mustaches
were curled: while under Louise XIV.
boards were again tabooed, and the
mustaChe alone worn, and in the follow
ing reigns the razor was in full use.
Under the Republican regime, MS also
under those OF the Empire and Res
toration, no boards were grown. They
came in again, however, with the revo-
luton of 1880

On Saturday Mr.. LIadley procured an.

An Englisman arrived from Paris
some days before the revolution Of
July, 1890. He was eagerly sought to
inspect the interior Court OF the
Paiais Royal, where the Prince Louis
Philippe Of Orleans was receiving dupu--
tations that came to him from all
parts Of the country villages with the
mayor and drummer ut their head,
brave fellows well furnished with
addresses and often excit d by the fa-
tigues Of the road and the heat Of the
day.
Tho Englishman on arriving asked if
Louis Philippe had made his appear
anee.
Certainly" they answered, che is

"Ah, am very sorrow for that" he
said, 81 have come to Paris To see
him"
"Neyor mind" said one near him.

the same.
A window opened over the balcony,
tho Prince appeared, humbly saluted
the crowd, and retired.
"Ah, am very glad indeed" said
the Englishman; "but ! have heard
some one say Tint one might sec him
with the tri-colored flag and surrounded
by his family"
"Thnt is worry easy said the other;
give me some SOUS and he will come
forth "
"Indccdl IIorc are some, with great
PLEASURE said the Englishman, hand

Immediately voice raised the coup

There was silence for II short time.
Then the complaisant neighbor turn

Then the man, with his ten francs,
exertcd himself and shouted with
others around him so eagerly and Ius-
lilly, give In Roll Nivc In Chnrte Ia

twenty minutes Lotus Philippe pro

The Re0rganized schools OF France.
Pail Mall Gazette.

Pail Mall Gazette.
The circulars addressed by M. Jules
Ferry to the rectors of the lycees ON
the subject of secondary education are
worthy of u moments attention. The
first deals with the course Of study; the
second with the periodical examina-
tions. In following up the desire to
give the system of education strong
classical flavor, time is to be in several
classes taken away from French and
given to Latin, while the study Of Greek
is dwelt on with special emphasis. 1t
must not, however, be supposed that
science is to be neglected. As far rs
the resources of the education budget
will permit, special professors are to be
appointed for scientific subjects, the
arrangement Of the Partisan lycees be
ing already complete Care is taken,
however, while introducing new sys-
tenn not to disturb unnecessarily the
studies Of those pupils who are pretty
well advanced. Such pupils are regard
ed rs having an acquired right which
ought to be respected. The second
circle dealing with the periodical ex-
amnations, has passages in it which
would well bear translating at length
The main drift Of it is to impress on
tie heads Of the lycees the fact that
examinations are to be reality, and
not a sham and that parents are to be
made to understand that it is better for
their sons to do well in lower class
than 10 he left struggling helpessly be
hind in higher one. I'm no case,
says the circular, lis pupil TO be
placed in a class from which he can
derive no benefit and where he can not
keep abreast If the regular march Of
instruction" And this principle il laid
down as much in the interest of the
pupils rs in the interest ofthe masters.
There is thoroughness about all this
which M least augars we'll for the de-
mestiC policy Of the new cabinet.
