Deynlonment of the Skull.

DR.. Digit, professor ~ anatomy in
the American college /; .,eirut, Syria,
gives some very interesting results of
his examination of a collection of hui
man skulls which are stored away in
an old monastery in the Kedron valley,
midway between Jerusalem and the
Dead sea. He has made careful COM
parison of these skulls with those of
the same race at the present day, and
finds some significant differences. The
Caucasian skull has during the last
thirteen centuries increased in circum-
ference nearly two inches, and has
gained considerable in cranial capac-
ity. There has been no increase in
width. Tho brain has gained in height
and width. O., there has been de-
velopment of the upper and anterior
parts of the brain, the parts which we
should expect to increase by education
and civilization, as they preside over
the moral and intellectual functions.
The lower portions of the brain, in
which the lower or more selfish pro-
pensities are conferred, and which give
breadth to the head, have, in the march
of tho centuries, failed to grow as
rapidly as the higher brain centers,
hence tho non-increase in the width
of our skulls.-Chicago Times.

About Colorinc Vinegar.

By the way, there seems to be a
great amount Of misunderstanding
and misinformation prevalent regard
ing vinegar. 1t has been solemnly
decreed by the legislature that no
moro shall coloring matter be added
to the ordinary white, distilled vine
gar of the market. Now, the coloring
material used in giving the article the
required shade was nothing but burnt
sugar, therefore entirely harmless.
This same white vinegar is simply
regularly distilled low wine-that is,
there is very small per cent. of alco-
hol in (which has been fermented
by the action on it of the air while it
is spread out for the purpose in YES
sci containing beech shavings. This
kind of shavings is used because such
wood is tasteless and does not color
the liquid. Vinegar thus manufact-
ured is entirely wholesome and suffi-
GENTLY palatable.
Cider vinegar, l believe, as rule,
to be very impure, and consequently
liable to prove very detrimental to the
consumers health. would not think
of using it unless / had had the max.
ing of it directly under my supervi.
sion. Nearly all the cider vinegar OF
the market is made from apples that
are decayed, worm eaten or otherwise
rendered unfit for market.-Cincin-

Great Troubles and Small.

''Man is bundle of contradictions. I"
He breasts calamity with a smile, and
flies into a rage at some annoyance.
When the foolish conduct of Landor,
the scholar, had made it necessary for
him to sell his personal property,
transfer his real estate to his eldest
son, and hurry off to the Continent,
he arrived suddenly at Mr.. Forster's
house in London while Dickens and
other guests were at dinner.
Dickens fastened to greet his friend,
expecting to find him cast down; but
the old man illustrated one of his no
table sayings:
'Most things are real to me except
realities.
He sat upon his, bed, and talked in
his most genial vein about Latin
poetry.
He went to Florence, and lived in
rooms above those occupied by his
friends, the Brownings, who used 10
send his dinner up to him every day.
Dinner was to him an important
event. He would stand watch in
hand as the hour drew nigh. and if
the dinner was q moment late, he
would seize the dish and throw its
contents out of the window. Mr..
Rrowning's son says that when young
he remembers seeing leg of mutton
pass the window of his fathers room,
when it had been sent to the irritable
old man q minute behind time

Blake's Hens.

There used to live in Waldo county,
Me-, an itinerant shoemaker named
Blake, who never lived in any house
over three months at time, and was
on the go so much that his acquaint-
ances called him Moving Blake" In
addition to q large family of boys and
girls, Ire was always accompanied by
flock of faithful hens that went with
him from place toplace.
1t is asserted on good church going
authority that these hens became SO
used to moving that when they saw
the shoemaker's scanty furniture COM
ing out of the house, they would walk
up to the door, throw themselves flat
on their backs and, crossing their legs,
would lie there until Blake came out
and tied them together with a string.
More than dozen reputable residents
of Frankfort, Prospect, Stockton and
Searsport can vouch for the remark

Mothers 7

There are upon the skin of every human
being, child and adult alike, 2, 300, 900 pores.
Through these pores in the form of invisible
perspiratioh is expelled more than one
quarter of the nourishment taken into the
system. The Importance of keeping open
these Precipitation valves upon a clld's body
is second only to that of properly digesting
the food eaten. 1t was to open the pores of
the skin and to assmilate the food that DR..
Pitcher formulated Castoria. Loose bowels,
constipation. fevers and eruptions which are
so constant among infants and children, and
which kill One-third of all children before
they are five years old, arise principally
from these two causes. 1t is from the won
derful results attendant upon the use of
Castora in regulating the stomach and bow
els and keeping open the poresofthe skin that
CastOra acquired its worldwide reputation.
With plenty of water for the body, pure air
for the lungs and Castoria to assimilate the
food, there need be no unnacounted for sick
ness among children. Castoria is a vege-
table prescription without morphine or other
narcotic property. Thirty years. extensive
use has given it history never attained by
another medicine,

ncociuing TO kiausenDerg sclen-
fist, Professor Bokai, picrotoxin is the
best antidote TO morphine. The effect
of morphine is, of course, to paralyze
the action of the respiratory center;
picrotoxin, on the contrary, when
given in small doses, increases such
action. Thus the two drugs act in a
directly opposite way.
An overdose of morphine produces
paralysis of the respiratory organs;
picrotoxin prevents such paralysis;
therefore picrotoxin is likely to be Of
great use in cases Of poisoning from
morphine.
Diminution of the pressure of the
blood ensues upon an overdose Of NOR
phine; but picrotoxin countesacts such
effects by stimulating the vase con-
strictor center of themedulla. These
two agents again have an entirely OPP
posite effect upon the cerebral hemi-
spheres.
Up till now the only antidote to
morphine known has been atropine,
but It cannot be administered in large
doses, and it is therefore necessary to
discover some other antidote if posi-
BILE. Professor Bokai considers that
picrotoxin may be useful as a sub
stitute for preparation OF nux vomica.
He even considers that its use will be
eflicacious in the prevention OF as
phyxia from chloroform.-Pit tsburg

Getting Even with Him.

In small garrison town in Prussia
the officers of a cavalry company all
messed together. A newly appointed
second lieutenant had just arrived, and
was eating his first dinner at the mess
table. That day the principal dish was
stewed kidneys. When this dish was
passed around one officer after another
declined to take any, as they knew
the captain was passionately addicted
to stewed kidneys. When the dish
came to the new lieutenant, he, not
knowing any better, helped himself
very literally.
Next day on parade, the captain
asked another officer:
"Who is that wretched creature on
the left?"
That's the new lieutenant"

himself on stewed kidneys, but he

An Astonished Italian.

A gentleman at the depot, while
watching the departure OF gang OF
Italians, who were going to work on
the Carthage and Adirondack rail
road, said; Il was along a portion OF
that road recently, and large force
OF these fellows were blasting out
stumps with giant powder. They
would punch holes down in the
ground under the stumps and put in q
quantity of the explosive, then tramp
down the ground around it and touch
it of with fuse. Five or six stumps
would he prepared, all OF the work
men but one would retire several hun
dred feet to safe place, and that one
would set the fuses of all the stumps
on fire and then run for safety behind
some tree or stump. There was a place
where there were five stumps in a
clump. -Four of them were loaded for
blasting and the fifth one left for the
man who set the fuses to run behind.
I'm setting the fuses the Italian got
mixed up. 1t is confusing business,
and he had TO do it in hurry. He
laid down behind one of the stumps
that was loaded. No one could warn
him. A moment of suspense and the
explosion came. Dirt, stones, water,
roots and Italian went high into the
air. One after another the other three
exploded, and when danger was pass
ed we ran forward, expecting to see
his mangled remains. He sat in the
cavity caused by the uplifting of the
stump he had lain behind, worming
the dirt out of his ears, stupefied but
unhurt The expression that rested
on his face when his countrymen
laughed and joked him could. only be
equaled in comicality by the look of
surprise that must have overcome him
when the retreat he supposed was Sc
cure rose in sudden violence by the
explosion of several pounds of dyna-

Ileef for Hot Isload.

The idea is beginning to gain vogue
with others who ha-a never considered
the subject in the hght that the vegeta-
rians do, that our diet is altogether too
strong in the matter of the more heat
ing meats; so much is this the case
that it is maintained that mild wines
do really less harm to the general sys-
tenn than flesh that is loaded with red
blood. This strong meat, such, for in
stance, as beef, the eating of which, il
is said, frequently generates too hot
blood, gives us our reckless activity,
our intensity and many of our new
diseases. White meats, vegetables, oils
and fruits, in long tried use among the
ancients, are in this view q safer and
wholesomer diet than that which we
have so long considered the best to be
had.-Harper's Bazaar.

A Rats Carelessncss.

A firm of manufacturers in Milwau-
kee had an odd experience with rat
lately. Noticing that the bills for
water delivered through meter were
unusually large an investigation was
made, when it was found that the
lead supply pipe in one place ran in
contact with a waste pipe, also of lead.
A rat, who frequented tho waste pipe,
happening tc be thirsty, and divining
by the curious instinct peculiar to
such animals the proximity of a sup
ply of water, had gnawed o hole
through the walls of both pipes in
order to get drink. He succeeded in
getting his drink, but omitted to close
the hole again, and the water con-
tinued to flow through the meter and
out again through the waste pipe
