The Humorous British Tramp.

Says an English exchange: 1t is curl
Gus that the British tramp should
have been so long overlooked by the
graphic writer. Yet, the scampish fell
low would seem TO have in HIM all the
essentials for a very striking piece OF
portraiture. Here we read of one of
them who. having destroyed his own
clothes while taking nights lodging
ut the Work House, was brought into
Court next day pinned up in a blanket
like Dickens Mr.. Mopes. While his
case was being heard he occasionally
shook off this covering, just to show
the magistrates that he really had no
other clothes. An even more impudent
dog was the Warrington tramp who tho
other day paid n visit to the Bulls Head
Inn in that town. On his first visit he
appropriated some three pounds OF
cheese and escaped with his booty. al
though the landlady caught sight of the
ragged despoiler us he was making off,
with the cheese dropping from his
pockets. He does not seem TO have
been aware that she had observed him.
for in the course of half an hour back
he came to the house. Then, putting
on what is known among the Irish as
=" the poor face" he begged the kind
lady to give him morsel of bread to
eat with bit of cheese he had picked
up. Now, it would have been just as
easy. and far more safe. for the scamp
to have gone to some other house, and
we can only conclude, therefore, that
he was tempted into danger by his
sense of humor. 1t would be such q
capital joke to obtain from the plum
dered landlady piece of bread to &C.
company the feast of cheese with which
she had involuntarily provided him.

Brain Development.

1t is not surprising to find the I'M
learned in things medical unable to
understand that brain development.
which of course is generally n mat
ter of heredity, determines charac-
ter. Such. however. is, and must needs
be, the fact. Whether the mind is
something outside matter which acts
through or by the brain, as musician
may use musical instrument, or
whether, as some think, what we call
mind is simply brain function, it should
be manifested on consideration that
upon the quality and conformation of a
mans brain must depend his mental
capacity; and consequently, also, his
characteristics both intellectual and
moral. We are not disposed TO urge
specialties of development as excuses
for conduct because, given an average
degree of intelligence and fairly strong
will power. the individual is clearly re-
sponsible for his action: but it must not
be forgotten that his instincts of right
or wrong, and the faculty of Judgment
with which he distinguishes between
good and evil, will be acute or dull in
proportion as his brain is developed.
The mind is in large sense the char
acter of the man. and as directly de-
pendent on tho physical growth of the
brain as the speed of a race horse is
dependent on its muscular develop
ment. This is not sufficiently recOg-
nized, and because it is not we every
now and then find silly remarks in print
such as the following: "The convolu-
tions of the brain may have something
to do with the difference between
mediocrity and genius, but at present
they are not recognized in the law
courts. and it is difficult to see how
they can be-" with such weak and
wide moral reflections as that lit
would be scarcely satisfactory to a pick
pocket to have his brain examined, in
order to prove to those he left behind
that he really could not help being a
thiefp' And yet the facts are sufficient.

White or Brown Bread.

The earliest agitator in the matter
observed two years ago. when travel
ing in Sicily, that the labOring classes
there live healthily and work we'll upon
q vegetable diet, the staple article of
which is bread of background wheat
meal. Nor are the Sicilians by any
means the only people so supported.
1.-The Hindus of the Northwestern
Province can walk fifty or sixty miles Il
day with no other food than ,.,.a,'at-
ties,' made of the whole meal. " th 4
little 'ghee,' or Galam butt" ur.i-
ish and Arab porters, capable OF ca ~
ing burdens of from 400 to 600 pounds,
live ON bread only. with the occasional
addition of fruit and vegetables. The
Spartans and Romans of old time lived
their vigorous lives on bread made of
wheaton meal. In Northern, as we'll
as Southern, climates. we find the same
thing. In Russia, Sweden, Scotland
and elsewhere, the poor live chiefly on
bread. always made from some whole
meal-wheat. oats or rye-and the
peasantry, of whatever climate, so fed
always compare favorably with our
South English poor, who, in conditions
of indulgence precluding them from OBJ
tanning sufficient meat food, starve, if
not to death, at least into sickness, on
the white bread it is our modern English
habit to prefer.
White bread alone will not support
animal life. Bread made of the whole
grain will. The experiment has been
tried in France by Magendie. Dogs
were the subjects of the trial, and every
care was taken to equalize all the other
conditions proportion the quantity
of food given in each case to the weight
of the animal experimental upon. and
so forth. The result was sufficiently
marked. At the end of forty DAYS the
dogs fed solely on white bread died.
The dogs fed on bread made of the
whole grain remained vigorous, healthy
and well nourished. Whether an orig
inally healthy human being, if fed sole
~ on white bread for forty days, would
likewise die at the end of that time re-
mains. OF course, a question. The
tenacity of life exhibited by Magendie's
dogs will not evidently bear comparison
with that of the scarcely yet forgotten
forty days wonder, DR.. Tanner. Nor
is 1t by any means asserted that any
given man or any given child would
certainly remain in vigorous health for
an indefinite length of time if fed solely
on wheat-meal bread. Not single
piece of strong evidence has been pro-
duced, however, to show that he would
not; and in the only case in which
whole-meal bread has been tried with
any persstency or on any considerable
scale among us-to-wit. in jails-facts go
to show such bread to be an excellent
and wholesome substitute for more
costly forms of nutritious food.-Ntne-

A Victim Of Life Insurance and
Whisky.

Henry Stewart, the aged and de-
crepit coiored man upon whom so much
insurance was said to be specializing,
died at the residence of his brother.
William Stewart, ON South Street on
Saturday night. 1t is said that ever
since he gave his consent flor paltry
consideration to sign the applications
for insurance on his life he has not seek
a sober day, unless. perhaps it was dur
ing the past ten days when he was con-
fined to bed. This liquor, well-informcd
persons state, was furnished by those
holding policies, and several saloon
keepers had standing orders to give him
all he wanted. Some time last spring
he was met at night on East State Street
by two men who gave him n pint of
whisky. The love Of liquor was one of
his failings. and that night he drank all
OF the pint that was given him. He
was seized with symptoms of poisoning,
and lay ill for several days. Since that
time he has declined in health. The
amount of insurance on his life is va
riously estimated from twenty to one
hundred thousand dollars. 1t is said
an effort will be made to prevent tho
payment of the policies Stewart was
over eighty.-Harrisburq (Pa.) Patriot.

Why L, 1t!

Why is it that a drunken man has
such fancy for railroad tracks? He
will 60 miles out of his way to find one,
and rarely misses the object of his
search, even on the darkest night.
When found he is invariably seized
with an uncomfortable desire to take a
nap there. There must be something
soothing in the contact of the cold iron
rail as he fits the back of his neck TO it
and adjusts his body between the ties in
preparation for slumber. And fire.

he takes. But what draws him therep

gets there ahead of the train, too,
though the train retaliates by getting
ahead of him before the deal is over.
