HEAD srzE ~. BRAIN rOwrR.

HEAD SIZE ~. BRAIN POWER.
Among the recently ublished statis-
tics of head measurement. as inferred
from the size OF hats, are the following:
Lord Chelmsford, 81 full, Dean Stanley
Ct, Lord Beaconsield Z, the Prirre Il
Wales 2 full, Charles Dickens u, Lord
6elborns u John Bright u. Earl Rus
sell II, Lord Macau ay II, Mr.. Glad
stone II Archbishop of York, 8 full.
These measurements are reproduced
from statistics by Mr.. F. F. Tucker,
and the contemporary in whose columns
they are reproduced is responsible for
the remark: Whatever may be the
case with regard to brains, it would
scarcely seem from these figures that
hats are any true criterion Of brain
power.
1t would be strange, indeed, il any
moderately intelligent person supposed
She hat, or even the head, could secure
the measure Of brain power. The late
DIR. Pritchard finally disposed Of the mo-
ton that cranial measurements could be
accepted as brain measurements. Since
his day the student oF cerebral develop.
ment has ceased TO rely on what used
to be called "phrenology." The chief
point Of interest as yet ELECTED from the
direct investigation u brain measure.
ments would seem to be that the cers-
brsl organs commonly found in the class
OF brain workers show evidence Of being
locally and specially developed. and
probably. - physical consequence, ars
irregular and for the most part unsym-
metrical.
Hereafter. probably, light may b
thrown on the subject Of special or r.

Mr.. 9. W. French, OF Philadelphia
presented some curious f..cts concerning
the results OF the astronomical aud geo.
metricsl Investigations OF the great
Pyramid before . meeting Of New York
ministers. The chief purpose Of the
speaker was to prove that the Pyramid
records the prophetic history Of Judaism
aud Christianity. The Pyramid was
bnilt before idnIatry made ~ wsyn1sU'
the world, and, IS was claimed, contains
no symbol Of false worship, and this
confirmed the Scriptnral Knowledge oe
God held by Abimeiech, King Of Cesar,
and Of the Egyptian Pharaoh in the time
of Abraham. According to Mr.. Freuch,
the narrow passageway in tine Pyramid
symbolizes the voyage Of life. which
slopes downward to dark hole beneath
the earth's surfacs aad upward to the
Kings chamber" where the temper
sture stands unchangeahiy at 6s de-
grees. The horizoutaI passage symbol
ICES the departure Of the Jews from
Egy 1t and also their ri elton Of the
Christ. Taen the perpendicular ascent,
the overhanging wall, and particular
step in the pyr,m.dal sign language
m an that the higher man rises toward
The divine and the heavenly the m re
room there is for him, thou ,h the as.
cent may be difficult. The inscription
on the Pyramid WAS taken by the lect-
urer to mean the un ty of Col and the
fulfillmento Of certain pruphecles IN 1881
and in view Of the events OF last year he
thought these symbols Of the Pyramid
were something more than mere COIN
cidence. The prophecies Of Daniel con-
cerning the d, sructim of Jerusalem in
seventy weeks and the 2,3,0 days were
said to bring out 1881, and also the
Apocalyptic vision of 1860 from the
Mohammedan hegira in 62l give the
same date. But the Pyramsl shows Q
plus 1881, which includes part Of the
current year, SO that great religious
events may be looked for IN this year Of
grace 1882. A symbol OF the Messiah
was also found in the capstone, as "the
head of the corner" These theories OF
the symbolism Of the Pyramid have
often been discussed before, and they
are very interesting, but general opinion,
we believe, has concluded that they arc
simply an ingenious leading up of cer-
tain facts and figures to fit preconcelved
aud already accepted ideas.

Time Fertilizer.

The following is recommended as an
excellent combination for fertilizing
purposes: Mix one bushel of salt with
two bushels of dry lime, under cover,
and allow the mixture to decompose
gradually, thus forming an intimate
chemical union of the two materials.
For this purpose the mixture should lie
at least six weeks before use, or, still
better, two or three months, the heap
being turned over occasionally. This
salt and lime mixture, when applied at
the rate of twenty or thirty bushels per
acre, forms an excellent top-dressing
for crops. 1t acts powerfully on the
vegetable matter of soils. Fifty bushels
applied to turnip-iield have produced
as large a crop as twenty loads of barn.
yard manure. 1t is also very destruct-
i've to insects and grubs in the soil.
Like salt, il attracts moisture from the
air, and has been found useful against
drouth. Its decomposing power Is re-
markable, and if three or four bushels
of it are mixed with cord of swamp
muck the latter will soon be reduced to
powder. Coarse manure is in similar
manner decomposed and made tine.
Sour, wet mucK thus treated and COM
posed with barn-yard manure consti-
tutes q fertilizer almost as valuable as
the unmixed manure of the barnyard. =

Felt Like Old Times.

A seedy looking fellow dropped into
the city EDITORS room, and, falling to
borrow half dollar, begged to mar
rate his experience. 81 used to be an
officer of state, / did. l was sheriff,
and member of the Legislature, and
Constable, and Clerk of the courts, and

and hid high old frolic, l did. +" 81

why don't you?" Because have a
letter here which says you are thief,
and a lier, and scoundrel, and a william,
and a traducer, and a perjuler, and a
defaulter, and plotter, and low-down
brawler, and lover of all that is vile,
and wicked, dishonest, and abhorrent to
decent people, and a''-'Aha! strang-
er, go on and read that all over again,

iod when felt like was somebody and

The Fighting ParsOn.

The Rev. Granville Moody, known
during the waras the lighting parson"
is now living in Iowa. He is over six
feet in height, is portly, straight and
broad-shouldered, though he has been
preaching for fifty years. Many inter-
esting anecdotes are told, illustrating
aggressiveness. His fierce patriotism
during the war got him into trouble
frequently. but he always came out best.
Once, when he was stationed at Piqua,
Ohio, Frank Mckinney, a well-known
Democrat, took umbrage at something
he had said and threatened to whip him.
He was warned that he might get hurt,
but he calculated that the preacher
would do only Quaker fighting. and
hence attacked him on the streets of
Piqua. They had a scuffie, and Frank
went to grass. The reverend doctor got
his antagonists head in chancery and
pommele9 it until he cried enough.
There, Frank said the doctor, 81
told you l might hurt you" In the
squabble they tumbled over boy and
broke his leg. DR.. Moody at once took
charge of the youngster, paid the sur
gcons' bill and more, and sent an ac-
count to Mckinney for half the expen-
ses, which the latter paid. Chicago

Cotton Seed for Cows.

After several years feeding l have
found one quart of cotton seed meal
free from husk--one quart of corn meal
and one of bran, to make the best and
safest federation. Give twice daily for
COW in full milk. The husk of cotton
seed is indigestible, and will make
trouble very surely if fed to COW.
When | say bran, / mean either rye or
wheat, but like rye best. The effect
of cottonseed meal on the butter is to
harden it, to give it a good texture, and
a fine nutty flavor. Linseed meal has
quite the opposite effect, and palm-nut
meal will make the butter soft, and
greasy too. although it largely increases
the butter. But it is necessary to watch
cow very closely when feeding cotton
seed, and never to give any of it with
in two months before calving, or with
in ten days afterwards, and then begin
gradually. Two ounces a day is quite
enough for calf under months old
and indeed l have never yet found it o.
any advantage to a calf while it car

Bernhardt's Pen.

Mrs. Jennie Wright, Chicago lady
abroad, sends to the Herald the follow
inc story of Sara Bernhard at the
American Exchange, London, the which
is thought TO be new: some day Sara
Bernhardt sailed into the rooms. hand
somely dressed as usual After talking
with Mr.. Gillig for few moments and
expressing her delight with America and
everything belonging TO it, he requested
her to register her name. After doing
so, she handed HIM the pen, which he
quietly slipped from the holder and for
which he substituted another. A gen.
tleman sitting near soon sauntered up to
the book to see who this distingue look
ing woman might be. and perceiving the
lovely Sara's name he quietly took the
pen and put another in its place. A:
the news spread through the rooms
nearly all the pens in the establishment
were captured, under the impression
that they had been used by Sara. :

Meaty Natter.

Eggs. at average prices, are among
the cheapest and most nutritious artic-
les of diet. Like milk, an egg is a
complete food in itself, containing every
thing necessary for the development of
perfect animal, as is manifest from
the fact that chick is formed from it,
Ii seems mystery how muscle. bones,
feathers and everything that chicken
requires for its perfect development are
made from the yolk and white of an
egg; but such is the fact, and it shows
how complete a food an egg is. 1t is
also easily digested, if not damaged in
cooking. Indeed, there is no more
concentrated and nourishing food than
eggs. The albumen, oil and saline mat
ter are, as in milk, in the right proper
tons for sustaining animal life. Two or
three boiled eggs, with the addition of a
slice or two of toast, will make break
fast sufficient for man and good enough
for king.
According to DR. Edward Smith, in
his treatise on Food an egg weigh
ing an ounce and three-quarters con-
tains- 120 grains of carbon and Ia
grains of nitrogen, or 1926 per cent.

The value of one pound of eggs as food
for sustaining the active forces of the
body, is to the value of one pound of
lean beef as 1854 to 900. AS a flesh
Queer, one pound of eggs is about equal
to one pound of beef.
A hen may be calculated to consume
one bushel of corn yearly, and to lay 10
dozen or Is pounds of eggs. This is
equivalent to saying that three one
tenth pounds of corn will produce, when
fed to hen, five-sixths of pound of
eggs; but to produce fve-sixths of
pound of pork requires about five pounds
of corn. Taking into account the nutri-
ment in each and the comparative
prices of the two on an average, the
pork is about three times as costly a
food as the eggs, while 1t is certainly
less healthful. Boston Journal Of Chem
