Food and Rest for the Brain.

Mental effort causes waste Of tissue ele-
ments quite as much as bodily exertion, and
this demands full supply OF food. What
with dyspepsia and absence Of appetite, the
results of deficient exercise, and the influence
Of preconoaived ideas as to the use or disuse
of special articles of food, the brain worker
is apt to receive too l'ttle nutrimant to make
up for the waste. E. r~cially is this the case
when he, unconscious, perhaps, replaces
food by the use Of tobacco, tea, alcohol or
opium.
Some advise to so supperless to bed. This
most medical authorities Of the day think is a
wrong notion. It is fruitful source of in
sornnia and neurasthenia- The brain becomes
exhausted by its evening work, and demands
rest and refreshUlent Of its wasted tissues, not
by indigcstihde salads and fried abomina-
tions," but by some nutritious, easily digested
and assiulilate1 articles. A bowl of stale
bread and milk, of rice, or sorne other fari-
naceo,ss food, with milk or hot soup, would
be more to the purpose Amy of these would
insure a soundrwhts sleep, from which the
man would awaken refreshed.-Cincinnati

THOSE EAGLES

such universal attention and commenda-
tion, and which were the work of Balance
d Jaus, proprietors of the Wichita Steam
Stone works, are going into the east and
west fronts of the county building. They
will be placed in the freize of the gables
over the principal or main entrances. The
work seems most too fine or too much in
detail for such an elevation, and may not
show all their beauty from the sidewalks
or streets II the figures could have been
pitched forward few inches, or the stone
30 cut that the figures would have leaned
out at the top, they would have shown to
better advantage. However, they are the
incest work in stone ever executed for any
public building in the state. The figures
of the eagles, which are in bold relief, the
heads being in entire relief, must be some
thing like four feet in height, and from
five to seven feet from tip TO tip of wings,
1t being hard matter TO tell at that
height. The work, however, will be seen
and talked of when all we who are here
today will have gone away for good.

knew where to send for strong, handy wom-
an to come to the house and make the most
of the material have, cutting it out under
my eye and working according to my direc-
tions, would send for her at once The re-
suit would be that the work would be finished
much more quickly than if I sent the furni-
ture away. l would have the use of it all the
time, my material would be economically
cut, and could afford to pay her good wages
and yet spend less than in any other way

The ANTIQUITY of Bronze.

almost pure copper. The soepbr in question
belongs to the British museum, and, as
special favor 30 Minister Washington, the
museum authorities consented to give a por-
ton of the precios.s object to be submitted
TO Professor Bertheiet for analysis Some

low-weighing less than one-hah grain, or

died, and q quautirative analysis, correct
within one-teuth OF mtlhgramme, has

since archaoloSists agree in placing Pepis
reign at about 1900 years before the Chris
tian era, the introduction Of bronze, both il
the Old World and In America, occurred
very nearly at the same period, and at an
epoch not much further back than fifty or

THE SEWERS.

Ex-city engineer, Mr. Mulvey in 3lIud-
ing to the sewers, says: "Of course l still
feel interested in their construction and
often think about them. am told the
difficulty in getting pipe is the cause of
the delay IN building but | think one of
the mains should be pushed with all posi-
BILE speed up to the packing houses; it is
badly needed to relieve the offensiveness of
the creek, and the managers of the pack
ing house are very anxious for it.
Il don't approve Of making the bend in
main A, between Orme and Greenway
streets. That main has less fall than the
Others, and consider it very risky to in
any way interfere with the velocity OF the
flow of that pipe, which every variation
from a straight line does
"a sharp right angle bend in sewer is
considered to destroy all accumulated
velocity leaving only hydraulic head or
depth 10 begin anew the flow. Bends of
more obtuse angles interfere less, but very
materially.
ayes, | have heard few houses
have been connected with the sewers,
but don't know it is so.
~ anticipate s.more trouble from these
connections than any other part of the
system because many of them will be put
in by inexperienced persons, and being the
smallest pipes used in the system and laid
mostly by the eye and without proper
grades. especially in places where the
fall is very light, the pipes Will be found
to be tapped frequently and there stopped
with sediment.
This is the source Of most complaints
about the sewers in all cities. In many
cases it would prove economy to have
them put in on correctly made plans, so
that their workings may be readily in
spected and assisted, when needed, in va
rious ways. Otherwise they are quite la
bic to prove expensive drains, like that at
the Burton car works, which has now to
he taken up and relaid, at great cost, be-
cause of its inef1iciency. These house
drains must be flushed, and if made au-
tomato in their action will more than re-
pay the cost

Court Room Wit

None Of The professions seem more devoted
to ready wit than that of the law. 1t is re-
lated that Sir Nicholas Bacon was about to
pass Judgment upon man who had been
guilty of robbery, at that time punishable
by death; but the cuiprit pleaded for mercy
on the ground that he was related to the
judge How is that!" he was asked my
lord" was the reply, your name is Bacon,
mine is Hog, and hog and bacon have always
been considered akin" THAT Is true" an
swered Sir Nicholas; but as hog is not ba-
con until it has hung, until you are hanged
you are no relation of mine" Still more to
the point is this Of two opposing barristers:
The lawyer for the defense was SO severe
upon the prosecutor that the latter rose and
asked: "Does the learned counsel think me q
fools" The retort was prompt: my friend
wishes to know If consider him fool; and
in reply to his question l can only say that
am not prepared to deny it." Their are many
instances of passages of arms between bench
and bar, but this one may be new to most of
our readers. At the close Of a heightened
and bitter wrangfe between a judge and
prominent counsel, the former said: "Wen,
sir, If you do DOT know how to conduct your
self as gentleman, am sure can't teach
you" To which the barrister mildly replied:
THAT is so, my lord San Francisco Ar
