A writer in an electrical journal has
proposed to measure thought by means
Of the heat developed within the brain
acting upon thermopile. Tho proposi-
ton was received In some quarters with
considerable skepticism. The thing, how
ever, can easily be done. Not long ago
. celebrated electrician stated that he
could "think q hole through an inch
board" and BY connecting . drill % that
II could be actuated by the current pro-
duced he actually did It.
A. z. Dolbear, writing on this subject,
says that the experiment, far from being
new or impracticable, was carried out in
this country more than twenty years ago
BY Dr.. Lambard, Harvard college. A
thermopile was connected with delicate
astatic gAlvanometer, and . person -
lected for the test. The individual was
placed In Q reclining posture, and the
thermopile touched his head. A certain
place was found where temperature
changes in the skull were more quickly
apparent than elsewhere, and the instru-
ment was fixed ct that place. 80 long
a. the subject remained mentally passive
the Ralvanometer needle remained quiet
" at zero, but a. soon % . word was
spoken to attract his attention, the needle
would ct once be detected, though nc
muscle had moved. A noise outside, q
door opening, or any incident that would
cause concentrated attention would have
q marked effect on the needle.
Ills now proposed to measure the rel.
alive strengths Of various mental efforts,
a., for instance, working out problems
In mental arithmetic or geometry, read
ing English, Latin, German or any Other
language, in all Of which processes II
win be easy to ascertain BY the move
ments Of the needle the respective de
gree Of effort made BY the person expert
mented upon. In this connection II may
b mentioned that Charles Dickens 70
marked that the mental effort involved
In learning shorthand was equal to thai
Of learning several languages This hu'
morous idea can now b put 10 an enact

How the Cat Flea Breeds.

During the spring and summer months

into the fur Of the cat, but in autumn
and winter she CLUES each firmly upon q

barely visible to the naked eye, but I'M
der the microscope they are extremely
beautiful, being perfectly translucent,

The flea deposits nearly 200 Of these ct q

here and there. They soon hatch into
small, white footless worms which 20

HOW TO DO IT BROWN.
Proper Way 10 Prepare 4 Turkey for The Oven
and Cook Il.

Select a good young turkey, weighing
from eight to ten pounds. Make 1t thor
oughly clean. Stuff the breast and body
with dressing made Of one and one-hali
quarts Of fine stale bread crumbs. three
teaspoonfuls Of salt, one teaspoonful Of
pepper, one teaspoonful Of summer saw
DRY, one-half teaspoonful Of sweet mar
jOram and one-half teaspoonful Of thyme.
Nix these well together and add One-half
cupful Of melted butter and one plot Of
washed oysters. Fill the breast and put
the remainder Of the stufiing in the body.
Truss the turkey by fastening the legs
and wings securely to the sides with
skewers and with string across the back
from the screwers. Never put q string
over the breast Of bird.
Now dredge well with salt. Take soft
butter 10 the hand, and rub Il thickly
over the turkey; then dredge thickly with
-four. Dredge the bottom Of the roasting
pan with -four, place n meat rack in
the pan, and lay the turkey on its side on
the rack. Put the pan into hot oven,
and, when the -four is brown, put in
water enough to cover the bottom Of the
pan. When one side Of the turkey is
nicely Drowned, turn il and brown the
other side; then place Il on its back.
Basic it every fifteen minutes with the
water in the pan, renewing the water as
1t cooks away, and dredge with salt,
pepper and -four. The last Blasting
should be with soft butter.
Allow one hour and three-quaTters for
q turkey Of eight pounds, and ten minu-
ties for each additional pound. For the
gravy, the liver should be boiled until
thoroughly cooked. After removing the
bird from the roasting pan, place the pan
on the stove, and add to its contents one
cupful Of water, or more Il necessary.
Stir Il well, scraping everything from the
bottom and sides Of the pan. Let il boil
up once, and II it is not thick enough
mix little -four with q little cold water
and stir into the pan as Il boils. Their
strain Il; masa the liver very fne and
add TO the strained gravy.-GOOd House

DURING the late political contest in New
York, republican newspapers were fill
ed with editorials telling Of the tapping Of
Flowers barrel for immense sums and
one authority went so far as to allege that
1t would cost the democratic candidate for
governor a round million Of dollars.
During the canvass il is useless TO deny
these reports for one could not be proven
false before a dozen would be sprung to
take its place, but New York has law
which eompels every candidate on tick
ct TO make oath TO the amount the canvass
has cost him, and Mr.. Flower has filed
his affidavit showing that the entire
amount Of money contributed by him
directly or indirectly was the sum Of
5000 which was given to the chairman Of
the democratic state executive committee.
The immense "bar'l" depicted previous to
the election gets down 10 very modest
proportions after the campaign is over
and the truth becomes known. A similar
law In this state, and one that would es-
pecially apply to senatorial elections,
might have a very wholesome effect in
curtailing legislative and political scan
dals in general.

YAKIMA HAS NO PEER.

The outlook for Yakima was never 90
bright as at present. The fame Of the
country and its productions has spread
farther this year than ever before, and
active and thrifty men are coming from
all quarters to buy and improve our rich
farming lands. Town lots are not active,
but the prices are firm and the movement
In this direction will come with the de-
velopment Of the surrounding country.
The vast irrigation enterprises by canals
and artesian wells have done much TO
attract attention to this section, but they
were only made possible by the knowl.
edge Of the producing worth Of the lands
in the way Of fruit, hops, vegetables,
grasses and other products, and the judg-
ment Of those who have made these in
vestments was this year shown to be Of
the highest character by the wonderful
crops which have caused all eyes to be
focused on Yakima. The country is still
virtually in its infancy, and few recog-
nize the possibilities Of the soil, but that
this knowledge is growing was evidenced
in a marked degree the other day at the
sale Of school lands, when the prices
ranged from forty to fifty per cent. higher
than they did at a sale Of similar lands
some three months previous. That this
was not q speculative sale was concur
sively shown by the character Of those
bidding, for, with few exceptions, the
buyers were practical farmers and fruit
and hop growers, who had made a sue
cess Of their calling, and recognized that
Notwithstanding the decided advance in
prices that the land would yield big re-
turns on the money invested.
Yakima is not a creature Of day, to
be bOomed by spectators and then to be
dropped as soon as their holdings are dis
posed Of, but she has the material worth
Of soil and climate that will make her the
garden and the orchard and the hop yard
Of the northwest, with markets on all
sides soliciting the bounteous results
which the husbandman will CLEAN from
soil which has no equal for richness
when once brought under the fructifying
influence Of water.

THANKsGIvISG DAY, 1890.
A tale Of battles thrilling rage,
With heroes brave and strong,
IsnOt, on this more humble page,
The burden Of my song.
sing Of simple family homes
Spread here and there anon
Where bliss or pain alternate comes,
As time rolls slowly on.
Alb, seldom think we As we pass
How dear is every hearth
How love, by this fond unity,
Is spread throughout the earth!
No shining star that fills space
In yon blue bending dome
Is aught more potent In Its place
Than is each family hOmel
Soft lights reveal through transom glass
Their rich and costly stains;
Nor shine less gently do the lamps
Through humble cottage panes.
Home Is home wherever found,
In cot or mansion hall:
Fond hearts are bound together here
And love abides IN all!
It's here we find, in hearts enshrIned,
The native home Of Joy:
o, would that death might ne'er again
Its mellow charm destroy!
Let all rejoice that happiness
More oft prevails than pain;
And that the heavy hand Of grief
On home Is seldom lainl
Let Us rejoice that pestilence
Doth now but seldom rage;
That desolating wars are few
In this enlightened age!
Heneeforth let nations war that will
Upon the open plain;
Or, let their future battles be
Upon the rolling main
Hang here the gentle Gag OF truce,
As on the sacred dome;
Aud while they fight, let all unite,
