THE WEIGHTS OF BRAINS,
Study that Is Important Because of II
bearing on Our Mentality.

A Study that Is Important Because of Its
Benring on Our Mentality.
(FrOm the Denver Rcpu"lican)
The study of brain weights is inter
esting because Of its bearing upon tho
question of intellectually. The average
human brain weighs forty-nino or fifty
ounces in the male ana about forty five
ounces in tho female. Great brain
weight is not always associated with in
tollcctual VigOr, rs il shown by the fact
that an idiot is known to have had n
brain Of over sixty ounces in weight.
But notwithstanding the evidence of
such cases as that of the idiot referred
to, great mental power is generally asso-
cmted with brain weight exceeding the
average. Cuvlcr's brain weighed sixty
four ounces; but Gamhctta's brain
weighed less than the average woman's
brain, which is of course, peculiar be-
cause Of his great intellectually. A
strange problem is developed by COM
parisOn Of the average weight Of the
malo and female brains with the mini
mum weight of each within the range Of
intelligence. The average weight Of the
female brain is about five ounces less
han the average weight of maus
brains. If the weight Of the brain were
an infnllible gauge Of intellect the aver
age woman would, 80 to speak, have five
ounces less intellect than the average
man. Bat the weight Of brain in man
below which idiocy exists is about five
ounces higher than it is in woman. This
is what presents tho problem. ", say,
thirty ounces of brain in n woman save
her from idiOcy and thirty-iive ounces
are requisite i'll man, what becomes o1
mans average of five ounces of brair
weight i'll excess OF the average in wo
man? The conclusion seems to be thai
smaller quantity Of female brain il
essential to intellectually than of male
brain. This is equivalent to saying that
the female brain is Of n superior quality
In contradiction Of this tho fact may be
cited that in comparison with men but
fcw women of great intellectual vigol
have appeared in tho world. If tho com,
parison just mado held true woman
with brain of fifty ounces ought to be
the equal Of man with brain Of fifty.
five ounces.

Facts About Dogs.

Ex-Representativo Horr, of Michigan,
says "thcro are II 100000 dogs in this
country" lis but few years since the
Secretary Of the State of Ohio reported
that 40, 600 sheep were killed or destroy
ed by dogs in that State the year
previous. The Secretary Of the State Of
Georgia also reported that $4,000 were
killed or destroyed in that State year
previous. Vermont had in 1850 LOLA,
l22 sheep; in 1886 but 378, ia. This
great reduction has been going on under
different tariffs, not only in Vermont but
in all tho New England and many other
States, and dogs are tho cause of it..
Now comes Senator Of Now York State
Pratt or Platt, [ think, is his name
and says that "two-thirds of the sheep
industry of his county has been destroy
cd by dogs"
Sheep raising is ono Of tho important
Industries of the country, and the farm
ers have long sought protection from
dogs, but don't get it. Annihilate them
and II, 100000 moro sheep than wo now
have will be added to that industry, and
reduce our meat bills l5 per cent, and
wooden fabrics will be cheaper also.

plant of Everyday Life.
(From the Casselrs Family Magazlne)
Probably one of the most common
headaches, if not the most common, is
that called nervous. The class Of peo-
pie who are most subject to it arc GER
tainly not your outdoor workers. If
ever my old friend the gardener had had
headache it would not have been one
of this description. Nor does Darby,
the plowman, nor Jarver, the 'busman,
nor Greatfoot the gauger, suffer from
nervous headache, nor anyone else who
leads an outdoor life or who takes plenty
of exercise in the open air. But poor
Matte, who slaves away her days in o
stufy draper's shop, and Jeannie in her
lonesome attic, bending over her white
seam-stitch, stitch, stitch-till far into
the night, and thousands of others Of
the indoor working class are martyrs 10
this form of headache. Arc they alone
in their misery? No; for my Lady
Bonhommc, who comes to have her ball
dress fitted on, has often fellow feeling
with Jeannie and Matte. Her, how
ever, we cannot afford to pity quite so
much, because sho has the power to
change her modus vivendi whenever she
chooses.
What are the symptoms of the COM
plant that makes your head ache SO?
You will almost know it is coming on
from dull, perhaps sleepy feeling. You
have no heart and little hope, and you
are restless at night. Still moro restless
| though, when it comes on in full force
as then for nights perhaps, however
much you may wish to, scarcely can you
sleep at all.
GLOW my poor head aches!" This
you will say often enough; sadly to
yourself and hopelessly to those near
you, from whom you expect no sympa-
thy, and get none. And yot the pain is
to bear, although it is generally confined
to only one part of the head.
The worst of this form Of headache
lies in the fact that it is periodic. Well,
as it arises from unnatural habits Of life
or peculiaritics of constitution, this
periOdicity is no moro than we might
expect.
If l just note down somc Of tho most
ordinary causes of nervous headache
people who suffer thercfrom will know
what to do and what to avoid. [ will
then speak Of the treatment.
Overwork indoors.
Overstudy.
an unnatural or crampod position OF
body. Literary men and women ought
to do most of their work at n standing
lying down now and then on n sofa t,
ease brain and heart and permit ideas t
flow. They should work out of doors il
fine weather-with their feet resting OF
a board, not OH the earth--and unde
canvas in wet weather. 1t is surprising
the good this simple advice, if followed
can effect.
Neglect OF the ordinary rules thn
cOnduce to health.
Want of fresh air in bed rooms.
Want of abundant skin exciting OK
orciso.
Neglect of tho bath.
Ovcr-indulgcnco i'll food, especially OF

he wrote to Judge M. B. Hagans, of this

tees of tho Methodist Episcopal Church,
and told him that he had made his will
and intended to give $l80,000 to the
trustees for the maintenance of tho semi

Political DriftIyOOd.

Gen. Stewart j.. Woodford, a promi-

Atlanta on professional business. In al

voting my time to the practice of my
profession, and as n man cannot we'll
serve two masters, lot politics severely
alone. AS n Republican, ] have no
means of knowing anything about in
ternal differences i'll the Democratic
party, SO | cannot tell you whether there
is any truth in the stories abont Opposi-
ton to the President in New York. l
know that Governor Cleveland--I mean
President Clcvoland-is worry strong with
the business mon of Now York, the men
with whom | am particularly thrown.
Many Republicans, like myself, whilo
differing from him upon political
grounds, admire him for his honesty, his
integrity and the faithfulness with which
he performs his duty as he conceives it;
and the opposition to him at the coming
election will not be Of personal nature
at all-it will be purely political"
There arc solid Indications that the
Iowa Republicans and Prohibitionists of
the same State are on the verge Of dis
solving partnership. The Republicans
train with the Prohibitionists in tho day
time and with tho whiskey men after
dark The Prohibtionists are tired of
this double dealing and propose to herd
alone in the future.

9. Thompson, of the firm of Hale &
Thompson, proprietors of the Black
Hills Nursery, with postofiice address at
Rapid City, spent several days in this
place during the week taking orders for
trees, shrubs, plants, etc. Mr.. T. was
quite successful in obtaining orders for
goods in his line, and was especially
successful in the sale Of shade trees, of
which he offers certain varieties which
are not only highly ornamental, but ex-
tremely hardy, and warranted to grow
rapidly in this locality. Mr.. T.. sells
only such varieties of trees, shrubs, etc.
as he can safely recommend to grow
vigorously in this altitude, which is
certainly a point in his favor over east
ern men, who have furnished the varie-
ties desired without reference to climatic
adaptation. The Black Hills nursery
offers special advantages to their patrons
in the matter of furnishing native grown
trees, which are much more liable to
grow in this climate, than those brought
in from any outside point. Custer
beautiful in their native simple
lty, could be made still more attractive
by the introduction Of ornamental shade
trees and lowering shrubs. |
