The report that the brain Of Gambetts,
when examined by the experts. was found
to weigh 100 grammes, or less than 80
ounces, has led to the publication Of an
immense number Of brain weights. The
brain Of the adult human male 10 said to
average about SO ounces, and that OF the
adult female about As. The maximum
weight Of the healthy brain 10 about "a
ounces and the minimum about 81. In
cases Of idiocy 1t has been found only
weighing 20 ounces. Broca places the
lowest limit Of brain weight compatible
with human intelligence at 80 ounces in
males and so in females, the average
weight OF the European male brain being
~ ounces. Bischoff weighed the brains
Of 10 cultivated and celebrated men, some
OF which lie found below the average,
while none reached the maximum.
The brains Of 119 ordinary Offend
ers weighed eleven grammes more
than the average, some OF them
having . weight Of 800 and even 1000
grammes. Broca, on comparing 10 skulls
taken from q vault closed up not later
than the twelfth century with another
series Of 125 skulls taken from a cemetery
belonging to the earlier years Of the pres
ent century, found the average capacity to
be 1,426 and 1,462, showing . considerable
gain during seven centuries OF progressive
civilization. As to the actual weight Of
the brains Of eminent men full statistics
are not obtainable. Taking individual
cases, some 20 in number, Cuvier, the nat
uralist, heads the list, according to one
authority, with 64h ounces, and accord
ing to another with 4.33. The brains Of
Abercromby, the physician, and Of Schil-
Ter, the poet, weighed 63 ounces; Sir James
Simpsons weighed 81, and Chalmers' So;
the brains OF Napoleon and Daniel Web
ster, 81 ounces. The brains Of . mulatto
who died not long ago at Cincinnati was
found to weigh 81 ounces. He was not
considered bright intellectually.
The heaviest brain Oh record, which
weighed 81 ounces, according to DR.. Nor
ris, was that of a bricklayer, "who had q
good memory and was fond OF politics.
but could neither read nor write, so that,
whatever his potentialities, his actual ac-
q%uirements were not great" 1t may sur
prise our readers to learn that the only
statistics OF Chinese brain weights availa-
BILE show them to exceed all other nations
in this respect. The average brain weight
Of the males reached 50k ounces, and
that Of the females 45k ounces. This 10
an average not attained, 30 far as yet
known. by any other nation, it being
fully 6 ounces above that of the average
negro, and IL ounces above the European.
The brain Of Guiteau weighed 49k unces.
exceeding by more than 10 ounces the re-
ported weight Of the brain Of the great
French Republican.

by deposing the Black Republican party

corrupt groove, 80 they in time certainly
will, kick them out also and reinstate

Worth Remembering.

A contemporary has collected the
following data, which are evidently
worth remembering:
A cord of stone, three bushels of
lime and cubic yard of sand will lay
one hundred cubic feet of wall. Five
courses of brick will lay one foot in
height on chimney. Nine bricks in
a course will make fue eight inches
wide and twenty inches long, and
eight bricks in a course will make a
hue eight inches wide and twenty
inches long, Eight bushels of good
lime, sixteen bushels of sand and one
bushel of hair will make mortar
enough to plaster one hundred square
yards. One fifth more flooring and
siding is needed than the number of
square feet of surface to he covered,
because of the lap in the siding and
the matching of the floor. One thou.
sand laths will cover seventy yards OF
surface, and eleven pounds of nails
will nail them on. One thousand
shingles laid four inches to the weather
will cover one hundred square feet o.
ourface, and FIVE pounds of shingle
nails will nail them on.

mule, which had been ut that post

report; 81 have seen that mule, and
whether true or false, soldiers believe
it was left at Big Spring, where Mt.
Vernon Barracks now are, at the
time General'Jackson's army camped
there, about 1890. Tradition says
it was once sorrel, but now it is white
from age. The quartermaster's de-
