WEIGHT Of the Human Brain,


Lately NJ. Paul Topinard has reviewed
the researches of Broca regarding the
weight of the brain in the human species.
The figures obtained by Broca and the
author appear to indicate that excessive
weight is no prima-facie evidence Of
great intellectually. Even the ponder
Gus brain of Cuvier. which weighed l.
800 grammes, is considered to be due in
no small degree to the well-attested
presence of hydrocephqlus during the
infancy of the great naturalist The
mean weight of the brain of men is l.
1925 grammes, and of women LAP
grammes, the greatest weight among
the former being attained generally be-
tween the ages of 80 and 3d. and among
the latter at a somewhat earlier period.
After the age of 80 the diminution is
very rapid, and the loss at the age of
so reached from 100 to $50 grammes.--
These figures must, however, be accept
ed with great caution. Most of the OBJ
seryations were made on the heads of
persons who had died in hospitals, and
who were presumably more or less az
fected with brain disease There are
no existing tables determining the differ
ence of the weight of the brain among
mentally sound persons belonging to the
two distinct classes of those engaged in
intellectual pursuits and those who OBJ
tain living by manual labor.

The iron and steel business is con-
slderably curtailed and many men have
oeen thrown out Of employment. Va
rlous reasons are assigned the most prom .
lnent being over-production and glut
IN the markets. There can be no doubt
put the production of the rolling mills
has been too great for the supply. In 1881
the estimated capacity of the mills was
2'25O,0oO tons. 1t is held in we'll in
formed quarters that the demand for
rails next year will not exceed 600 O00
tons, which is 1880, 600 tons less than
the producing capacity. The man.
o1acturers ofiron and steel are not alone
IN their troubles. The producers Of
cotton goods are wrestling with a de.
pressed market and a gloomy outlook.

Journalism in Russia.

Journalism has hard time of 1t in
Russia; the press is ruled Ly the censor
with hand Of iron, and an imprudent
expression is apt to have serious conse-
qnences; suspensions, fines and punish
ments make the editorial chair woefu
and thorny seat. As a natural conse-
Iuence the papers are tame and exceed
ing'y .uninteresting, read those
printed IN German and French and
drew a conclusion from them about the
Russian papers. Foreign journals are
admitted to Russia, but they present a
queer sight; every paper or package OF
papers arriving in Russia is opened by
the censor and closely criticised by him.
Whenever he finds passage which does
not suit him, down goes the stamp and
blurrs it out with> printers ink, which
makes it impossible to be read: You
commence to read an article ard just
where it commences to become interest

stop. Provoking, is it notS Just imae.

the thousands and thousands of foreign
papers daily sent into Russia. It must

A Man of Few Words,
From an old Anecdote Book.

From an old Anecdote Book.
To prove the garrulity of some travel
ers we state the following facts: A young
man, some time back, arrived at an inn,
and after alighting from his horse, went
into the travellers room, where he
walked backward and forward for some
minutes, displaying the utmost impa-
tience. At length he rang the bell, and
upon the walters appearance gave him
All order nearly as follows: "Waiter!"
The waiter replied, ''Sir." II am a
man o few words and don't like contin-
ual]y ringing the bell and disturbing the
house. I'll thank you to listen to what
I am going to say" The waiter again
replied, "Yes sir" 'In the first place
bring me glass of brandy and water,
cold, with little sugar, and also tea
spoon; wipe down the table, throw
some coal on the fire, and sweep up
the hearth; bring me q couple of can
dies, pen, ink and paper, some waters,
and little sealing wax: and let me know
what time the post goes out. Tell the
hostler to take care of my horse, dress

on the site of the present city Of Fari-

that point and built a commodious resi-

for selecting the most beautiful sites OF

he became and was, when the town pro-
prietors laid out the town, the owner of not

the finest farms In its immediate vicinity:

the foundations of our now PROSPEROUS

for success in the rude commerce Of the

the energy and thrift of the adventurous
Yankee, who was now pushing into the
country. His large property gradually

years of bis life, he was dependant upon
the charity Of his old friends among the
early settlers Of the state Among those

Hard Luck for Canadian 1pecu1a
tors and Investors.

The New Eotk Herald's special from
Toronto says: Almost panic prevailed
here yesterday in stocks. Since the dis
covery of the bank irregularities few
weeks since public confidence has been
much shaken. All hank stocks have de.
clined and some Of them heavily. The
recent fail Of over $50 a share in St. Paul,
Minneapolis & Manitoba railway, has
caused heavy loses to many of the holders
here. Yesterday the shares of the Can
ada & Northwestern Land company, or
as it is commonly called here-the Duke
of Manchester company-declined 50
shillings. The losses by the decline fall
heavily upon innocent holders and many
may lose theirall. The causes attributed
to this decline are numerous; the i'm
mediate one was undoubtedly the North
ern Pacific Railway company's circular
issued in England Offering s, ,0O0, GOO acres
of land at low price and easy terms.
The Canadian Northwestern Land COM
pany was formed only last summer, the
Duke of Manchester being elected chair
man of the board, but he only acted in
that capacity short time. The cause Of
his resignation is not GENERALLY known.
Petitions have been sent to the midister
Of finance asking him to restrict the spec
ulative nature Of the business done by
some ofour banks.

A Shocking Double TRAGEDY.

A Shocking Double Tragedy.
One OF the most checking double trag-
edies that has ever occurred in Philadel-
phia was committed Tuesday evening by
John Mueller, a well-to-do saloon keeper,
who killed his wife and then committed
suicide. Shortly after supper that even
Mueller, who was shaving himself, sent
his little girl on some trivial errand, and
when she returned, which was in about
fifteen minutes, most ghastly sight met
her eyes. There, lying on the floor, in
great pools Of blood, were both her par
ents with their Threats cut from ear to
ear. The child was Mortified and ran
out into the street screaming that her
father had killed her mother. It is not
known how the crime was committed or
what was the provocation, but it is be-
licved to have been jealousy that cra1ed
him. It is supposed that after the little
girl left the room he went over to his
wife who was sitting on the sofa, and at
tackled her before she had time to give
the alarm or get away The razor was
found on the piano, partly dried and
half in the case.
