About Brains.

1t has been estimated that we get {
complete new outfit of brains abou
every two months. The duration of &
nerves life is about sixty days. Each
nerve cell has its own Independent
functions, subordinate to the higher
functions of the whole brain Ter
masse:' and the latter acts as a sort OF
boss or overseer to the individual actions
and life of each separate cell. Every
cell is destroyed and renewed every two
months, SO we each get six brand new
brains per year. Medical World.

A Donkey Kills a stallion.

A remarkable and fatal fight between a
stallion and a donkey occurred on Philip
Hendricks farm near Deckertown, in Sussex
county, N j. Both animals were powerful
and had been enemies for weeks. The donkey
was very dark and strong and was called the
"Knight of Malta" The stallion was a
valuable horse and was being trained for the
race course The stallion and donkey were
left in adjoining fields. The stallion soon saw
the opportunity afforded for a fight and tore
down the field to a broken piece Of fence.
The donkey happened to be directly on the
other side and close to the fence. The stallion
jumped straight on his back, landing with his
fore feet across the donkey's back and his
hind feet on the ground towards the fence.
The stallion fastened his teeth in his enemy's
neck, and at the same time struck the don
keys side with his fore feet with good deal
of force.
Hendricks man Mcguire and farm hand
watched the fight, which looked bad for the
donkey.
The donkey ducked its head and at the
same time elevated its heels. The stallion
was thrown to the ground and quick as a
flash the donkey turned around and began
fusillade with its heels on its PROSTATE enemy.
The hard heels of the donkey were driven
again and again into the stations body and
blood was soon flowing freely. The horse
kept up constant whining and the donkey
brayed loud and long. In five minutes the
tide of battle turned completely. few
more of those terrific kicks and the stallion
was rendered helpless. The farm hands be-
gan to fear the stallion would be killed, SO
they took rails from the fence and began
beating the donkey. The Infatuated animal
then started for them, when the nearly dead
horse made an effort to rise. The donkey saw
it, and before the men could intercept him,
he rushed upon his fallen foe and, turning,
gave the stallion one tremendous kick, break
ing his jaw, and then followed it with an
other kick in the stomach, tearing the flesh
open and exposing tho inteStines. The stall
hon gave piteous moan and then gasp and
rolled over dead. The donkey will survive.

Iron VS.. wooden sIeepers.
A few years ago the German railwa.
companies were convinced that iron
sleepers were superior to wooden ones
In 1856 there were laid on the German
lines 2.462. 900 new wooden sleepers and
1,OO7. 1852 iron ones; but in the following
year there were only S68, 1868 iron sleepers
used, against l,544, 992 wooden ones
Last year there were 2,677, 424 wooden
sleepers laid and only 75C,6 iron ones
The use of wood for sleepers seems, there
fore, to be gradually increasing in Ger
many and the employment of iron dimin
isbing. The French railway companies
have always opposed the use of iron
sleepers in France, but they make less
objection to them in Algeria, where the
extreme heat makes their application
more profitable.-New York Telegram

A Classic.

Most PAROLES are cheap. They have
not even the merit of satirical purpose
Once in a while, however, we find one
that is so nOnsensical on its surface anC
so exquisite in its deeper meaning tina
it belongs among the American classics
By the way, we should like to know whC
wrote the following verses. Can any
body ten us?
He killed the noble Mudjokivis
With the skin he matA him mittens,
Made them with the fur side inside;
Made them with the ST. IN side outside;
He, to get the warm sidN inside,
Put the inside skin side outside:
He, TO get the cold side outside
Put the warm side fur side inside;
That's why he put the fur side inside,
Why he put the skin side outside,
Why he turned them INSIDE outside.
