this knowledge enables him TO deal
with large questions and To shape the
future.
The great merchant does the same

money getting affair; not a mere mat
tcrof barter, but a science and an art.

A Dog Miihnut a Rrnin.

At the last meeting of German neu-
rologists, held in Baden Baden, Pro-
fessor Golt2, of SErasburg, reported a
most remarkable experiment. He cut
oU., in two operations, almost the en-.
ase cerebrum Of ID leaving only tho
c-re5ellum and a small portion Of the
base OF the cerebrum. The animal
lived fifty-one days after the last opera
ton, and then diedof pneumonia. The
remarkable part of the experiment
was the influence il had on the dog,
who, a few hours after the operation.
raised himself on his hind legs, put
dis paws over the side Of his box, and
looked iuquiringly around. He could
walk, cat and drink, and would chew
any food that was placed in his mouth.
Waking and sleeping alternated natur-
ally. He was restless before feeding,
but afterward would become quiet and
sleep. A slight touch would awaken
him from sleep. During urination
and detection the animal assumed the
normal position. Hearing, taste and
smell were, Of course, absent. -Weiner
