The sybarits's Reverie.

One summer night in thoughtful mood,
] unused alone In solitude,
When lol saw a multitude
OF phantoms In the gloom.
fhey rode upon the Iight-winged breeze,
and played and danced among the trees,
Then swooped down like swarm OF bees,
Fair girls like flowers in bloom.
The sylphs wore colors rich and rare
Had bright blue eyes ana golden hair,
And short gauze skirts and shoulders bare,
And all In quaint costume.
Their wild aports made the wilderness
An EdeR-where ecstatic bliss,
With Youths delightful joyousness,
Diffused rlusk-rose perfume.
The fairest that gay throng among
Her soft white arms around me fiungs
And then the siren smiled and sung,
OF love and beauty.
The motley leaves took up the strain -...
And blended in sweet refrain,
And while they revelled round my brain
Weird echo Knocked the glee.
Friend, what could weak mortal do
Alone and charmed by music too?
[ gazed enraptured, bolder grew IfH
You'd done the same, wis.
Beneath the soft moons lingering sheen,
enchanted in that gorgeous scene,
l caught the lovely elfn queen,
And gave her one warm kiss.
5ut, ahl the vixen slapt my face
And chanted in deep, angry bass,
''Nonentitfes of every race
Lifes grandest turmoils shun.
This woodland scenes the rendezvous
For all the fair-the brave-the true,
Not selfish, pampered drones like you,
So fight with me and run.
You're not a man sir. nor yet half
Then every imp began to chant,
And with one loud, long, boisterous laugh
The witches aIltook wing.
Goodbye, my loveI". the false nymph cried;
THE ghost OF your luxurious pride,
I'll haunt you when and where you hide,
You sentimental thing"
Then woke in awful fright, .s.
And shivered in the pale moonlight.
And reached home In q sorry plight, i--.'
With wand ring, aching head
My limbs all ache, the sybarite whined,
I've lost my heart, but never mind,
l swear hencefortb. when I'm inclined,
III do my dreams in bed.

Mans Brains.

The human brain is absolutely bigger
and heavier than that of any animal ex-
cept the elephant and the larger whales,
but in no other animal is there SO great
variation in brain weights of different
individuals as in man, and it is perhaps
curious fact that the higher the civili-
zation the wider the variation. That is
to say, the brain weight in savage races
is more nearly uniform than in enlight-
ened nations. While in general way
the average weight of the brain is
greater in civilized races, it does not at
all follow that the size of the brain is an
indication of the degree of intelligence.
The average weight of the adult Euro
pean male brain is forty-nine to fifty
ounces. That of the female is forty-four
to forty-fve ounces, the difference being
fully ten per cent. Statistics for Amer
ica very nearly coincide with this result.
There are examples of men of remark
able intellectual attainments whose
brains have largely exceeded the aver
age, as Cuvier, sixty-four and half
ounces, and DR.. Abercrombie, sixty
three ounces. Daniel Webster also had
very large brain. That of Agassiz
weighed ffty-three and a half ounces.
not very much above the average. On
the other hand, high brain weights have
also been found where there was no
evidence of superior intellectual capac-
ity. In an English insane asylum
nearly ten per cent. of the cases exam
ined showed brain weight of over
tfty-five ounces. An excessively small
brain indicates feeble intellect, and an
abnormally large one may indicate the
same. Between the extremes there is a
wide range, in which it is evident that
intellectual power is more dependent on
quality than quantity of brain matter.
But it is estimated by several competent
authorities that in an adult male of any
thing approaching average size. brain
less than thirty-seven ounces is usually
associated with imbecility In other
words, brain of less than this weight
will not confer the reasoning faculty in
the civilized Caucasian, though in un-
civilized man, rude intelligence may
spring from brain of thirty ounces

Snow at San Francisco,

At San Francisco the last day of the
year they had bit of snow squall.
Only about three inches of snow fell,
but that proved to render the place a
city of maniacs. Old and young be-.
came frantic with delight. In their en-
thusiasm old pioneers fell on one an
others necks and wept, so at least says
the staid old AEt0 All the leading pa
pers had from one to three columns de-
scriptive of the snow carnival, and two
or three of them went SO far as to enter
into scientific dissertations on snow ..as
snow," its crystal1ization and other
features, as if it had been meteoric
shower, or some similar celestial phe-
nomenon. Snow-balling was all the
rage, and the Chinese suffered fearfully.
Some attempts at sleighing were made,
but they did not prove so successful as
to greatly excite the envy of onlookers.
Such a snow is very rare at the bay.
There were falls of snow in San Fran
cisco in 1887, 1854, and 1867. but the
depth on this occasion was probably
greater than any former of which there
is any record.

Fifty-0ne Grandchildren and not Great
Graudchild,

A reporter called on Grandfather
Hoy, who lives with his son-in-law,
Richard Bird, on Ogden avenue.
''Sure. it's foine trick; the gossoons
are after wantin' to put me in the pa
pers. and me an honest man."
''But is it true that you have fifty-one
grandchildren"
''Begorra. I'll lave it to Katy" in
dicating his wife.
''William, I'll not spake the word at
all. Till the gintleman yourself"
Then the old man began calcula-
ton. 1t seems that the couple have
two children living in Ireland and five
are residents of this city. Two children
Mrs. Connolly and Christy Hoy-died
in the old country. Christy was child
less, and Mrs. Connolly was married
only a few years before her death.
Tabulated, the record of this rapidly
multiplying family is as follows:
