Splitting Roots With Dynamite.

The destruction of large trees by the
severe storms in England has caused in
quiries how to get rid OF the tough roots
thrown out of the ground. Splitting with
wedges was found slow and laborious,
and in answered. inquiries correspon.
dent of the Garden describes the mode
by which he effectually severed the roots
into fragments by the use of dynamite.
He remarked that he had employed half
a dozen horses and as many men tug
ging and straining at the unyielding
mass of roots large part of a day, when
few shillings' worth of dynamite in
Guiding cap and fuse, would have blown
the roots to fragments i'll short time.
There is some difficulty in procuring the
dynamite in small quantities, but where
it can be had he asserts that while it is
more powerful than gunpowder, it is
much easier and safer to work with. A
hole is bored into the solid part of the
root nearly through it, the fuse put into
a cap, and the whole inserted. The
dynamite cartridge is about four inches
long and nearly an inch in diameter.
The fuse will burn about one foot a min
ute, and the operator can get to safe
distance. Roots four or five feet in d..
ameter are torn to fragments, sometimes
several cartridges being required to COM
plete the work.

CONCERNING THE BRAIN,

The dogs brain is no larger than that
of sheep, and is smaller than the o1's.
In the elephant we find that organ
weighing three times as much as in man.
The whale and other cetecm, have brains
superior to that of man. When the
weight of the encephalon is compared
with that of the body, we find that in
man it is relatively smaller than in sew
eral species of monkey, (he ousistiti
for example), the sparrow, the tom-tit
and the canary. The dog has also rela-
lively less than the bat, the horse than
the rabbit. If the Recommendations or
varied and irregular folds noticed on the
brain of certain animals are, as some
authors consider them, evidences Of gu
periority, it will be found that the ass
has fully as many, and the elephant more
than man. 1t is generally admitted that
man whose brain weighs less than l, 900
grams is necessarily deprived of intelh-
gence. Psychologists are not, as yet,
agreed on the question as to the age
when the brain attains it maximum
weight, and as to whether there exists
such a period as that when that organ
decreases or atrophies. According to
MIR. Gratiolet, "the brain grows con-
stantly, at least among the Caucasian
races, from early childhood to decriped
old age" 1t is said that Cromwell's
brain weighed 2,23S grams; that of
Lord Byron, 2,22S; that of Culver,
1929 but these figures, which are not
incontestible, prove nothing. Raphael.
Descartes, Voltaire, Napoleon, Schiller,
and many other illustrious men had small
heads, and their brains could hardly
have greatly exceeded the average
weight, which varies from 1928 to
1,424 grams.

Social Intercourse.

Because a lady is seen riding or
walking or associating with male
friend, we are not to presume there
is anything wrong in such associa
ton. To say our wives, mothers and
daughters may not be safely left
alone with any gentleman, under all
most any circumstances, is preposter
GUS. Every true Christian gentle
man will applaud the chivalrous dec
lalation, for such in the sentiment of
virtuous, intelligent people every
where and that society is the very
best and highest which most elevates
woman in the social scale, and has
most confidence in woman's virtue
and judgment. Yet in every com-
munity, not only among the vicious
and ignorant-the scum and dregs
and neral paliahs--but sometimes
among men and women pretending
to great responsibility, there are low
minded, bigoted, contemplate SLAMS
derers, whose venomous tongues are
ever ready to hiss lady who may be
speaking to friend in the street, or
if, indeed, she treats gentleman Of
her Acquaintance in a friendly man
ner at all The fear of such animal
versions tends to separate the sexes,
prohibit social intercourse, and de-
moraliZe society.

Hopping a Barrel.
From the Danbury News.

Putting hoop on the family flour
barrel is an operation thst will hard
ly bear an encore. The woman gen.
orally attempts it before the man
comes homes to dinner. She sets
the hoop up on the end of the slaves,
takes deliberate aim with the roll
ling pin, and then shutting both
eyes, brings the pin down with all
the force of one arm, while the other
one instinctly shields her face. Then
she makes drive for the camphor
and unb!ea ched muslin, and when
the man comes home she is sitting
back of the stove, thinking of ST.
Stephen and the other martyrs, while
a burnt dinner and the camphor are
struggling Tor the mastery. He says
that If she had but kept her temper
she wouldn't have got hurt. And he
visits the barrel himself and puts the
hoop on very carefully, and then ads
iusts it so nicely to the top of every
stave that only few smart raps APP
parentiy are needed to bring it down
all right. And then he laughs tc
himself to think what fuss his wife
kicked up for simple matter that
only needed little patience to adj
just itself; then he gets the hammer
and gives the hoop smart rap or
one side, and the other flies up ano
catches him on the nose, filling his
soul with wrath and his eyes with
tears, and the next minute the barre
is flying across the room, accompan
led by the hammer, and another can
didate for camphor and rag is enroll
led in the great army that is unceas'
ingly marching toward the grave.

ROCHAMBE1U AND CORVALLIS.

The following is brief account Of
what became OF two Of the heroes of
Yorktown. When Rochambeau returned
to France he was made Governor eft Pr
cardy, and, in 1888, was elected to the
Second Assembly of Notables. In 1791
he was made a Marshal of France, and
commanded the Army of the North
from March till June of the following
year. During the troubles of '93 he
was imprisoned, but escaped the guillo-
tine, and lived to be made Grand
Officer of the Legion of Honor by Ma
poleon. He died, in 1907, at the age
of 80.
CORVALLIS lost little, if any, of his
reputation In England by the surrender
of Yorktown, which the English persist
in calling York Town. In 1776, he sue
oeeded the celebrated Warren Hastings
as Governor General OF Bengal, and
broke the power of Tippoo Saib. Dur
ing the Irish rebellion of 1889 he went
to Ireland as Lord-Lieutenant, and re-
manned there until the union was con-
cluded. In 1903 he was again made
Governor General of Bengal, but only
went to India to die at Ghazipore, Oct.
8, 1906, at the age of 67.-NeaD York

Eating Before Sleppjnv.

Man is the only animal that can be
taught to sleep quietly on all empty
stomach. The brute creation resent all
efforts to coax them to such violation
of the laws of nature. The lion roars
in the forest, until he has found his prey,
and when he has devoured it he sleeps
over until he needs another meal. The
horse will paw all night in the stable
and the pig will squeal in the pen,
refusing all rest or sleep until they are
fed. The animals which chew the cud
have their own provisions for a late meal
just before dropping off to their nightly
slumbers.
Man can train himself to the habit OF
sleeping without preceding meal. but
only after long years Of practice. she
comes into the world nature is too strong
for him, and he must be fed before he
will sleep. A childs stomach is small,
and when perfectly filled, if no sickness
disturbs it, sleep follows naturally and
inevitably. As digestion goes on, the
stomach begins to empty. A single fold
in it will make the little sleeper restless;
two will waken it ; and if it is hushed
again to repose the nap is short, and
three folds put an end to the slumber.
Paregoric or other narcotic may close
its eyes again, but without either food
or. some Supplying drug it will not
sleep, no matter how healthy it may be.
Not even an angel who learned the art
of minstrelsy In celestial choir can
sing babe to sleep upon an empty
stomach.
We use the oft quoted illustration.
" sleeping as sweetly as an infant, be-
cause this slumber of child follows i'm
mediately after its stomach is complete
| ~ filled with wholesome food. The
sleep which comes to adults long hours
after partaking of food, and when the
stomach is nearly or quite empty, is not
after the type of infantile repose. There
is all the difference in the world between
the sleep OF refreshment and the sleep
of exhaustion.
To sleep well blood that swells the
veins in the head during our busy hours
must flow back, leaving greatly dimin-
ished volume behind the brow that late
~ throbbed with such vehemence. To
| digest well, this blood is needed at the
stomach, and nearer the fountains OF
life. It is fact established beyond the
possibility of contradiction that sleep
aids this digestion, and that the process
| OF digestion is. conducive to refreshing
sleep. It needs no argument to con-
vince us of this mutual relation. The
drowsiness which always follows the
we'll ordered meal is itself testimony
| of nature to this inter-depe ndence.-
