Mr.. NJ. A; Hsrdakor, in Popular Science
Students Of physiology see that a
final and conclusive law cannot yet be
drawn from differences in brain
weights and measurements, because of
the present i~mperfection Of such data.
But there is an even broader and bet.
ter foundation from which to build up
a conclusion, and | propose to stand
on this more general ground. In or
der, however, that such physiological
details may have due influence upon
the general argument, | give a few of
the best established facts. Professor
Bastain's work on the brain, published
In 1880, sums up his studies of this
organ as affected by sex. | condense
or quote from him the following state
ments. Difference of sex, in its inhu-
encc over caDacity of skull, is often
greater than difference of race-Dif-

the sexes increases with the develop

ropean excels much more the female

Tiedemann to weigh from 141 ounces
to l53 ounces in the male, and from 10

The maximum weight Of the adult
male brain in a series of276 cases, was

The same publishers have also in press
q new novel by Miss Margaret Lee, we'll
known as the author of "Larmicr and
Wife," "Dr. Winners Love-" "Lizzie
Adriance," ETC., entitled "Divorce," in
which the author fully sustains her
reputation as a delineator of American
Society life, and at the same time show
ing the great injustice of the complicated
divorce laws now in force, urging the
necessity of one uniform law applicable
to all the states alike.
Both these novels will bepublished in
handsome twelve mo. size, and large
type, at the extraordinary low price Of
twenty cents in paper and fifty cents in
cloth. This is new departure to place
the writings of American authors on the
same footing as regards price as the
foreign reprints; aud we are curious to
see how far it may be success; that the
high price of American novels, works liz
justice to American writer's, has long been
felt; and we therefore hope-both for the
benefit OF the authors and the reading
public-that the Messrs. Lowell may be
successful in their new venture.

that the weather Of the past week has
been very unsettled, the rain foil being
considerable and widely extended over
the northwestern states. Only isolated
localities complain of any damage. The
temperature is cool and aids in saving
the grain though stacking and threshing
is impeded. Advices agree that the
quality is good and the yield better than
for years. Early figures as to winter
wheat are confirmed except that there is
a decline OF from 20 to 25 per cent in
Michigan spring wheat. but the increased
yield balances the decreased acreage.
1t is believed prices will go lower yet,
