All feeling, every act of the will, every
time the eye or ear or any other sense is
exercised and all the operations of all the
organs of the body-every movement of
a limb, every word that is spoken, is due
to the action of the brain. 1t therefore
stands in the place of q machine, but in
stead of deriving its force from foreign
material used as fuel it its own
substance, which during sleep is replaced
by new matter left there by the blood,
which has taken it from the food alb
sorbed into the system.
The person who works his brain day
and night consumes his brain substance
at n greater rate than it is formed, his ex-
penditures are greater than his receipts,
his income is not sufficient, but his CAPT
tai Is encroached upon. With every
action of which the brain is capable an
increased amount of blood flows into tho
organ, and if it is kept Unfortunately at
work the blood vessels become perma-
nently ~distended, they lose their elasticity.
They are like an India rubber band that
is placed around a large bundle of papers
and left there for several months. When
the papers are removed the band does not
contract to its original dimensions.-Will-
lam A. Hammond in New York Mail and

When l go to the theatre with q party
of gentlemen l always prefer to take seats
in the front row of the first gallery. OF
course, when people see you there they
imagine you are trying to save money,
and all that sort of thing-that you're
really stingy, as it were. OF course no
one wants to appear in that light, and
when one takes a lady he cannot afford
to be placed In that position. But when
only gentlemen are concerned, 1 tell you,
they a all take the dress circle and
parquet for me. I'll take the front row
In the first gallery, and 1 know what I'm
talking about, for Two studied the matter.
No n will doubt that you can see bet
ter from that elevation. There's no big
hats in front of you, NO heads lodging
from n side to the other to see around
some other body's big hat, no nothing of
that sort. If that amt an advantage, l
don't know what is. Then there's another
thing. You can near better in the front of
the lower gallery. There's no other part
of the house that equals 1t, and if the
escape from the big hat nuisance is not
enough this surely is.-Globe-D Democrat.

Popular Foathered songsters.

Almost any bright colored bird will
make a good songster. Just now the
goldfinch is quite popular. The male
variety has a sweet, mild note, and
breeds well with the canary. The
female goldfinch is a o cage bird, and
is never in demand. Canaries are going
out of style, although those imported
from the Hartz mountains are still the
prince Of songsters. A good many peo-
pie are now buying nonpareils, q bird of
fine iplumage from the gulf states.
They nave a low, sweet note. Mocking
birds will always be popular. The best
variety comes from near Dallas, Tex,
where they are taken out of the nests
while young and fed by hand. The
mocker Is the only bird that can whistle
q tune successfully, and it takes only a
short ne to teach one such a tune
as "Lauterbach." The redbird is tho
hardest bird known to keep, as he will
butt his brains out in a cage if not cared
for properly. He is o hearty bird if he
survives the first season, but it is
necessary to change the cage frequently
from n high to a low point, then from
outdoors to indoors. All redbirds arc
trapped, and then they sing only after
becoming thoroughly tanned. The black
bird Is rarely seen us q cage bird. The
American blackbird IS n poor pet, but
the European variety is highly priced.
It has a song peculiarly of its own

hsh skylarks in large numbers. The
skylark is q morning singer, and is the
most expensive bird in the market

Tho feast of st. Leopold, tho patron

close holiday in Vienna, and thcre was n
total suspension of business. 1t is Gus
tomary on this day for the Viennese TO
make excursions TO Klosterneuburg,
where they drink the white wine for
which hat town and its famous monas-
terry are famed. The monastery boasts
an enormous barrel which contains u
fantastic number of hogsheads, and the
fun of the day consists for many persons
in climbing to the top of this huge recep-
tacle by means of n ladder, and drinking
the white wine ladled out through a tap
at the top. Trains were running from
Franz Josef's station to Klosterneuburg
every quarter of an hour, and over 1000
carriages and cabs travelled to the old

Three Book FIcnds.

The tall copy man, the uncut copy
man and the wide margin man are about
the most cranky of the bibliomaniacs.
What they want nobody else would nave.
They are n trio of cranks of about the
same class. Every time n book is pub
lished, the publisher prints n few copies
which are longer han the regular edi-
ton. These the tall copy fiends seek.
They like to stand Il long book on a shelf
alongside the regular sized book and
gloat over the fact that they nave q diff
fcrcnt kind of book from the common
buyer. If n tall book of some rare edi-
ton falls into their hands, they go into
~ecstaCies of joy and bend all efforts to
get a copy of the regular edition to stand
alongside this book Of bastard size.
His brother in hobby, the wide margin
man, is contemplated by the book pub
Usher. who prints n half dozen books of
an edition with abnormal margins t o a
page, and sells them for five times the
regular price of the book. If the books
marketed by n publisher are already cut,
rs tho American publishers are accus
toned to do, he saves n few copies with
the leaves uncut and sells them to the
uncut copy man. This one is the worst
crank of all. To him n book is only
valuable as long us the leaves remain I'M
cut in the folio. He does not buy n book
to read. Tho standard authors mean
nothing to him. II he can get n copy of
n first edition of Scott or Dickens, which
no one has ever read, because the leaves
nave never been cut, he values it higher
than all the books these novelists eve
wrote. His idea of n book is one in
which the pages shall be sealed from the
eyc.-Globe-Democrat

A number of new combinations in pa
per are being made. One of the latest is
a paper having a middle of tin or gold
foil. The upper layer is made of waxed,
and the under surface of common paper.
This is intended for n variety of uses.
a new s~heathing paper is composed of
two or more layers cemented together by
asphalt, or some waterproof or disinfecting
material. l don't think that the asphalt
idea is altogether new.

Work upon the Mont Cents tunnel
was begun in 1857, about two years be-
fore De Lesseps commenced operations in
Egypt, The working parties in the oppo-
site headings, French and Italian, met on
Christmas day, 1870, about a year after
the Inauguration Of the Suez canal. The
st. Gothard tunnel was begun after the
completion of the Mont Gents, in 1872;
the headings met Feb. 30, 1880. The
length Of the Mont Gents tunnel is over
seven and a half miles; that of the st.
Gothard about nine and a quarter miles.
These are the longest tunnels ever con-
structed.
The invention, by means of which the
progress of the work was facilitated, con-
sists in the use of atmospheric air as q
motor. By means of water power air is
reduced to one-sixth its ordinary bulk,
and the expansive force thus acquired
performs the drilling. Owing to the
conditions under which tunneling is done,
this method is of signal advantage.
Each of the Alpine tunnels was excavated
through solid rock, SO that blasting was
necessary. The use of explosives vitiated
the air, while the length Of the passage
and the impossibility of sinking shafts
made the ventilation question a vital one.
Had the drills been run by steam, the
presence of steam engines constantly
generating smoke and gas would have
heated and vitiated the air still further.
By the new invention the difficulty was
met. The air was compressed outside
of the tunnel, and conveyed into it by
pipes. Here a double purpose was served:
by its expansion and liberation the air
ran the drills, and ventilated the tunnel.

Orders from manufacturers and drug
gists have gone out in greater quantity
than ever this year for "pure spruce
gum" The Maine forests is where the
best gum is procured, and the lumber
men can reap quite n little harvest if
they can manage to get gum enough to
fill these very liberal offers. Gum
chewing has become SC fashionable that
there is an unusual demand for it and it
is n that promises to last. Reasons for
this arc that gum chewers believe that
the chewing of the gum aids digestion and
also whitens the teeth. The first reason
sets elderly gentlemen to chewing it, and
the latter makes the practice popular
with One firm has made n for
tune by making n candied chewing gum,
which is sold by druggists, tobacconists,
confectionists and at elevated railroads.
The chewing gum habit has got away
beyond the school girl, and there's no
telling where it will stop ut its present
rate Of progress.-Chicago Herald.
