Medicine in BurHaah.

The hostess supplies more leaves to
serve as plates, and each man helps
himself from the common pile to a
double handful of rice, which for the
time being occupies all his attention
and fingers. A Burmah never drinks
in the course of meal, but, having
swallowed the last mouthfui, goes to
the chatty that stands in corner in
every house and takes little water to
wind up tIe entertainment.
As Il race they are naturally temper
ate, but few jungle men will allow an
opportunity of tasting wine, beer, or
spirits to pass. All these 90 by the
name of "berrandy." There is no such
letter as ''r" in Burmese, but the de-
ticiency seems easily supplied by the
Burmese if he wants a little stimulant.
Breakfast over, the men assemble
round my chair for a chat. l present
them with cheroot apiece, but it is
evidently not worth while for every man
to smoke his own. Moung Daw, as
host, lights his, and his guests stick
theirs in their ears for future enjoy
ment, while the one is passed from
mouth to mouth round the little circle.

A Maine Girls Profitable Invention

The story of one Portland girl de-
serves to be recounted. This is of
Miss Helen Blanchard, now resident
of Philadelphia, who was specially
gifted, and who succeeded in a field
commonly supposed 10 be open only
to the masculine intellect. She is of
an inventive mind, aud with passion
for mechanical contrivance from her
childhood.
Naturally she was foreordained to
invent something, and she did it. The
something, or rather the first thing
she invented, was an attachment for
sewing machines 10 sew "over-and-
over" stitches. The story that was
told of her runs to the effect that one
day, while at work at a sewing ma
chine, she got out of patience with the
way it worked, and IN passion kicked
it over, with the remark that she could
make better machine than that her.
self. Straightway, continued the
veracious chronicler, she proceeded to
invent the ''over-and-oyer" attach
ment.
In point of fact, the account thus
given is largely myth. Miss Blanch-
ard did not and does not kick sewing
machines, but she did very decorously
and properly, after long and careful
study, invent the ''over-and-over" at
tachment, and obtained patent on
it. This laid the foundation for the
large fortune which it is pleasant to
be able to say she now enjoys. She
owns large estates, mandatory,
aud many patent rights. Her fortune,
royalties and income, without ventur-
ing statements accurate enough to be
impertinent. may be described in the
fluent language of the divine novelist
or sensational reporter, as beyond
the widest dream of avarice." She
earned it all herself. She had no as
sistance from any one, and hired
money at % per cent. to pay her first
Patent Office fees.-BoSton Globe.

A Strange Spanish Sect.

The London Chronicles Madrid cor
respondent telegraphs: Your readers
may remember that some time ago |
drew attention to very remarkable
phase of religious fanaticism in the
little village of Tolox, in the province
of Malaga, which has led to State
prosecution. The devotees of the re-
ligion, l may call to mind, took it into
their heads, or. rather, were led to be-
lieve by their leader, woman who
declared herself a prophecies, that the
highest form of religion was to con-
duct the mundane affairs of this life in
the simple garb of Adam and Eve be-
fore the fall. This was bad enough,
and led, as | have said, TO the inter-
vention of the crown; but it was not
their only divergence from the ways of
ordinary mortals-another portion of
their doctrines being to infiict upon
themselves wounds in the hands,
breast, and feet such as are shown in
representations of the crucifixion.
They also burnt all, or nearly all, their
worldly possessions, in the belief that
higher power would provide them
with food. Their behavior, indeed,
was such that, as stated, the govern
ment felt called upon to interfere, and
a day or two ago a number of the lead
ers of this strange sect were put upon
their trial. Already the most extra
ordinary revelations have been made,
apart from what may be called the
spiritual manifestations which these
misguided people declare have been
made to them. The most interesting
feature in connection with the trial
have been the experiments in bypnot-
ism which have been made on the de-
PENDANTS by medical specialists-this
being the first time hypnotism has
been resorted to in Spain in the inter-
ests of justice. In nearly every case
the defendants proved to be good
subjects. Many of the experiments
tried by the doctors were of the most
extraordinary character. One of the
accused, for instance, when in a state
of hypotism, on being ordered to per-
spire, broke out almost instantly in a
state of profuse perspiration, while
another, who was ordered to ascend
very high mountain, being the while
in an ordinary room, behaved as if he
were actually climbing, his breathing
becoming difficult and his heart beat
ing violently. When this man was
told that he had reached the summit
and might rest awhile, the symptoms
of exhaustion gradually disappeared.
Others were pricked with long pins,
and gave no evidence of what was be-
ing done to them. The trial viii last
several days longer and will probably
result in merely nominal punishment
being imposed upon the accused, who
for the most part seem to be merely
harmless, weak minded people

HISTORY OF THE BEAN.-The common
bean was cultivated by the ancient Egypt
ians, bnt their priests regarded it as ''un-
clean" The Testament mentions the
bean twice, and it is certain that the He
brews knew of its existence at least GOO
years B. G. The ancient inhabitants of
Switzerland and of Italy, in the age of
bronze, cultivated small fruity variety
OF this plant. It was also known to the
ancient Greeks and to the ancient Latins,
and it grew wild in northern Africa in
the days of Pliuy. The first cultivation
of the bean is prehistoric. 1t probably
was introduced into into Europe, s0ys

STATISTICS CONCERNING BEER PRO
fessor Scdwaokhofer delivered a lecture
recently to the Vienna Hygienio society
on the subject of beer. After giving
some statistics on the consumption Of
this beverage, the lecturer went on to
describe It's manufacture and adulterat-
ion. The birthplace Of beer * Egypt.
A papyrus has been discovered on which
a father reproaches his son for iouuging
about il tavegus aud drinking too much
beer. From the Egyptians the art of
brewing descended 10 the Philippians.
While the Romans despised beer, the
Germans Of the north of Europe fully
appreciated its good qualities. How
ever, the refreshing draught became
more popular in the first half OF the
Middle Ages. In the beginning only
converts obtained the monopoly Of
brewing beer, but later on the privilege
was extended to lay corporations. In
Austria the first brewary was established
in Vienna in 1860. aud beer soon became
the favorite beverage of all classes of
society. At present the yearly product
ion throughout the whole world amounts
to :, e00, 900 gallons; England talking the

SCIENCE OF THE BRAlN.-Paui Broca's

SCIENCE OF THE BRAlN.-Paui Broca' s
discovery that the brain is a congeries
of organs, each having its special funct-
ion, is being confirmed by later research
es. Professor Matthias Duval las had
the opportunity Of determining-by the
post mortem examination of eleven per-
sons who, during life, had been accident
ally deprived of the faculty of speech
or the memory of words or cerain letters
of the alphabet that the faculties of
speech and memory of words reside in
the second and third convolutions of the
brain. In each case examined there had
been injury or disease of these convolu-
tions, destroying, functions. Compar-
ing Gambetta's brain with that of the
late DR. Bertillon, an eminent statistician,
Duval and Chudzisky found that in the
brain of the former the third or "Broca s
convolution '-aathe speech centeris now
called-is extremely developed, while in
Berti!lon's it is reduced to its most simple
expression. Gambetta was active and
loquacious; Bertillon reticent and retir-
ing-tbe oratorical qualities Of the two
men were dramatically opposite, and
this result is now seen to be due to the
physical conformation of their respective
breins.-Chicago News.
