The Health of the Brain.

In Association Hall Friday evening
the first of series of "medical talks" to
young men, under the direction of the
Young Mems Christian Association, was
given by DR.. E. G. Seguin, his subject
being "Hygicne Of the Brain" DR..
Seguin said that while the inheritance
from parents of morbid brain might
disqualify one from many duties in life,
its possession ought not to be looked
upon as a source of terror, nor should a
tendency to mental disease or disorder
be allowed to stand in the way of a
choice of vocation. One of the original
conditions of a well-acting brain is a
freedom from early nervous diseases,
which occur during the first five or six
years of life. The abnormal condition
of the digestive organs is frequently the
cause of cerebral troubles. Gluttony
stupefies the intellect, and a man who
eats heartily is untitled for work for q
certain period afterward. The chief
error of all men of sedentary occupa-
tions is that they eat too much vegetable
and starchy food. Physicians differ on
the subject, but it is DR.. Seguin's ex-
perience that men who never get suffi-
Gent supply of oxygen cannot burn up
this amount of carbon in this kind of
food, and that in many cases nervous
prostration is the result. Dyspepsia is
proyerbially known to affect the
brain, by slow and insidious i'm
pairment of the cerebral action.
Multitudes blame their physicians
for not curing them of dyspepsia, but
there are very few who have sufficient
self-control to abstain from tempting
dishes. Want of sleep is often the rea-
son for brain diseases, but its potency in
producing insanity is exaggerated. Mar
cotics and stimulants affect the mind in
juriously. Many medical men believe
that wine and beer at meals have nu-
tritious powers, but as body they set
their faces against the abominable GUS
tom of tipping for sociability or for
''toning up" One who is given to this
habit is liable to attacks of insanity at
the age of thirty-five or forty, and to re-
verses in life which his friends will at
tribute to bad luck, but which his ply
sician knows are caused by the physical
deterioration of the brain. The use of
narcotics is more common than sup
posed, not among men but among wom-
en-. Distaste for work, except in one
constitutionally lazy, is sign of cere-
bral fatigue. Brain-workers should
take just enough exercise to keep up a
good circulation. For food they require
what can be digested easily, such as an
imal food, milk, eggs, game, fish and
oysters. Wealth and power have grad
ually accumulated in the hands of beef
eating peoples. "The Asiatic nations,
the Irish, Spanish and Italian said
DR.. Seguin, "are all non-animal food
eaters, and they are weak in will, in
body, and poor as well as weak politi-
cally. "-Nea0 York World.

THE DAIRY.

New York dealers prefer to buy
butter packed in ash tubs and Boston
men that in spruce, each claiming to
represent the wishes of England. West
ern men claim white oak is the best.
The necessity for a large variety OF
grasses and clovers, in order to secure
the best flavor and aroma for butter, is
now recognized by the best dairymen.
Some farmers still go on stupidity, SOW
ing only timothy and one kind OF clover.
AS the time is at hand when many
COWS will be fresh, attention has been
called to the fact that dairvmen should
bear steadily in mind that it is not the COW
which gives the most milk Immediately
after calving which is the most protita-
BILE, but the steady mixer which gives
only a medium quantity at first. but
has staying qualities. Milk should be
weighed at the end of each week and
obtain q record.
Complaints made, and with reason,
that the makers of cheese show SO little
desire to please consumers in the quail
ity and form of their product. They
make cheese of the form, size and quail
ity desired by English dealers, and the
home consumer who would gladly buy a
cream cheese weighing twelve or fifteen
pounds is obliged to put up with the
pieces, which his grocer cuts off. where
the waste is immense, the quality not
good, and where the cheese when cut
is left to absorb the odors of surround
ing Goldfish, 1nackerel, onions, tobacco
and kerosene. For the waste in the
store the persons who buy have to pay
AS far as form and size go the cheese
furnished before the factory system was
started was much better than since.
The new method of gathering cream
instead of milk was discussed with favor
at the National Butter, Cheese and Egg
Convention in Cedar Rapids, Ia. 1t was
thought unfair to compare long es
tablished system with one in its infancy
but the burden of testimony went tt
show that if farmers could be taught tt
set their milk properly and to skim it il
the best way, the gathering of cream
would be success. 1t is being quite
generally adopted by Iowa farmers. L
is paid for by the inch in most cases
One owner of several creameries sale
his patrons have received only twenty
five cents a hundred pounds more undel
the old system than the new, and they
had their skinned milk and had no
had to send a wagon to the creamery o.
cheese factory.

Saving and Spending. .

The accumulated wealth of nation is
the sum OF its savings. This may be in
the shape of money, lands, cattle or any
property which costs money or labor, or
which is the direct increase of such prop
erty. If a person saves out of his income
a hundred dollars and keeps it in any
form of permanent property, it remains
as wealth, and may be used to increase
itself. But the moment the hundred
dollars is expended in destructible prop
erty, that is, such as may wear out or
does not reproduce itself, it begins to
vanish and finally disappears. For in
stance, if the hundred dollars be spent
for costly clothes, a carriage or driv-
ing horse, a hunting dog or a cask of
wine, it is evident that 1t Immediately
begins to wear away, to depreciate in
value, or to be used up; and it is only a
question of time how long, or soon, be-
fore it will come to an end. But if a
COW, q workhorse, or piece of land is
purchased, or the money or its repre-
sentative is spent to reclaim marsh,
to drain useless land, or to erect build
ing, 1T at once becomes reproductive,
remains intact, and earns interest for its
use, or it wastes but slowly, and, in the
wasting or wearing of it, it not only re-
place itself, perhaps many times, but
gives continual profit for its use. So far
as money or labor is used for the latter
class of purposes, it is not spent, but is
saved. 1t is also saved and remains or
reappears as wealth, when it is used for
any necessary purpose, as the produc-
ton or purchase of food and clothing,
suitable for its owners business; or for
tools, or anything which will enable him
to work to replace it. 1t is spent and
disappears as property or wealth, when
it is used for purposes of luxury or waste
of any kind, giving no valuable return
for its use, Notwithstanding it may have
been paid out as wages for laborers or
artisans.
A million dollars have been squan-
dered and disappeared in villainous
smoke and deafening noise in celebra-
ton of the Fourth of July. That money,
so far as it represents labor, has gone

A Petrified Baby, or What Is lit

Mr.. W. G. Renfrew, of Russell, Ark,
and Capt. w. j. Patton, of Little Rock,
have gone to Washington to exhibit to
the officers of the Smithsonian Institute
the "Eureka Baby" specimen of
archaeology found on the LIST of last Oc-
tober at Eureka Springs, Ark. The baby
was found, about four feet below the
surface, on the lot of John B. Hebron, a
resident of the town, and it was discov-
cred by laborer named f. H. Camp
bell, while he was digging well. The
baby had coating of a composition
about as light as pumice-stone, but this
covering, varying in thickness from half
an inch to an inch and a half, has since
been removed from the entire head and
shoulders and the right side of the body,
showing one leg complete. The baby is
two feet and two inches long, and weighs,
with the composition coating, eighty-five
pounds. The head and limbs exposed
are said to be rightly proportioned. The
cheeks are puffed out and the legs and
arms are plump. The general color of
the baby is a bluish-brown, varying in
lightness. The baby looks very much
like q Hindoo idol. Mr.. Renfrew, the
present owner of the baby, has found a
good many people who believe it to be
petrified human being, but it is hardly
necessary to say that this opinion is not
held by scientist. The body is evil
IDENTIFY a work of art, and the first i'm
portant question to be determed in con-
nection with it is in regard to the time
it was deposited at the place where it
was found by the well-digger, Camp
bell. Whether it was placed there by
prehistoric race OF by a representative
of the present race, the people of the
Smithsonian Institute will be called upon
to decide Chicago Tribune.
