Mankind's Little Brain I'm the Throat.

FROM the Phll&delphia Press.
Did you ever know" said a well-known
specialist, that the throat has q brain of its
own? Mop Isuppose few of the laity do know
it. but it's a fact. There is a small ganglia
which exercises direct control over the muscles
of the throat and act as Its brain or course.
1t is subservient to the genuine brain. but at
the same time does good deal Of independent
thinking for itself. 1t is very timid and suspi-
cious of any strange objects tina. come near the
throat For this reason il il very difficult for
a physician TO operate on the throat Before
anything can be done in this direction it is
necessary for the operator TO gain the conf
dence of the little brain that dominates it, IL
frequently takes weeks before this confidence
can be secured and until it is secured il is i'm
possible to operate. When the little brain is
finally made to understand that no harm is in
tended it, but that the physician is actuated by
friendly motives, it viii submit to almost any
treatment, however painful.
But woe be to the man who attempts rough
treatment to the throat before gaining the lit
tie brains confidence and in spite of ats FRO
tests. His operations viii be resented with
violent paroxysms, first of the throat. then of
the diaphragm, and il the operator still per-
sists the patient will he thrown into conyul-
sions. still more curious is the fact that this
little brain has @ memory and if once fright
ened in this WAY 1t Is almost impossible TO ever
gain its confidence, no matter how gentle the
operator may be-"

Strange Revelation.
From the New York Sun.
The women of New York society are in many
cases accomplished in very odd ways and a
party of men the other night passed an inter-
esting quarter Of an hour In recalling
some Of the uncommon talents Of their femi-
nine acquaintance. One handsome young
woman was an adept in blowing the coach
ing horn; another was very successful
carver of onyx; one of the most sedate young
ladies in town danced a clog to perfection;
dutiful and beautiful wife made all her
husbands trout flies and her husband was
renowned as successful fisherman;
rather slim and wiry girl, famous for her waltz
ing, was q scientific boxer, and could give her
clever brother a breezy four-round battle;
lady who rode in the park each day occasionally
showed to her friends in the country how she
could stand on the back of q cantering horse;
fair mermaid of Newport could smoke a
cigarette under water; these and n half hun
dred other wondrous performances were told
of women by the men that knew them, amid
great applause. Finally. young fellow who
had been listening lazily to the conversation
spoke up in drawing tones, and the attention
OF the company became riveted upon him.
Il knew far more extraordinary girl than
any you have mentioned, once upon a time"
he said. ''She was the sister of a classmate of
Blonde girl. tall and straight and jolly, for

as matter of course. When did hear of il at

struck with the charm of the thing. In fact, it

There was pause. The speaker apparently
went into a reverie that he had no intention Of
disturbing. Finally howl went up.
"Well what is the wonderful accomplishment
of this girl, Billy?'
Billy reused himself and looked about at the
faces of his friends.
''Oh, didn't tell you?'' said he. "Why. she

HER GREAT BEAUTY,
Lady Brooke, Who the Prince Of Wales
Says is the Prettiest Woman.

Lady Brooke, Who the Prince Of Wales
Says is the Prettiest Woman.
From the Chicago Herald
To be designated the prettiest woman in
the United Kingdom by the Prince of
Wales; to be photographed in fifty guises
and exhibited the whole length Of Bond
street and Piccadilly; to be called the best
dressed woman at every function Of the Lon
don season. and TO be looked on askance by the
few prudes among the nobility, that is the fate
of Lady Brooke. a girl with face as clear cut
as an Etruscan cameo and figure that would
have made her fortune as Q skirt dancer. 1t Is
very seldom that q woman 30 perfectly exquisite
to the eve as is Lady Brooke comes very promi-
nently forward in society. The type il occa-
sionally to be found on the stage. The face is
not aristocratic surely. The forehead is not
high, the chin not prominent. the nose not
Roman and the mouth not thin. 1t Is an oval
face, with drowsy, passionate eyes. a straight
nose. weak. warm. curling mouth and dim
pied chin. When one learns that its possessor
is Lady Brooke the thought Of the direful dam
age the beauty has in her power to do arises TO
the mind and a vision Of Inundated, despair
ing duchesses, countesses and even princesses
grieving for the weakness of their spouses is
clear to the eve.
Perhaps a duke. an earl. or modest viscount
might attract the beauteous lady had he sufi-
CltHt CuiffH VI pcTSpH anu fuannpr. were NJ not
that her attentions were claimed by the prince.
Since the days of the house of York il has been
truthfully said that not one lady in the king
dom. be she humble or proud. comely of visaac
Or otherwise. could sincerely disdain the atten-
tions of the Prince of Wales. His present HIGH
ness is a short, stout gentleman. of exactly fifty
years of age, with bald head and q slight lisp.
but with his mature wife and ful-grown chill
dren ne is still the chief masculine attraction
in England. There are plenty of people in
England who will forgive the heir apparent
every manner of indiscretiou. They speak of the
famous Lady Mordaunt case as matter of slight
consequence, and the fact that the prince is
now umpire in a card gambling scandal does
not affect them.
Therefore, about the only aggrieved payty
in the Lady Brooke case il the princess. who
carefully refrains from ever being in the same
house with her and sternly refuses to recoe-
nize her in any way. The prince however.
always admired by his subjects for his consum-
mate taste and tact, makes il q rule that LADY
Brooke shall be invited to thoee houses that he
honors with his presence unaccompanied by
the princess, and while very small number
sniff at the boldness of il and d few radical
newspapers denounee it unstintedly, the roval
comedy goes on, and the nation at large. in.
Guiding Lord Brooke, is satisfied. No one, il
must be acknowledged can gainsay the taste Of
the prince in this instance. Lady Brooke is
certainly the most beautiful woman in the
British nobility.

Persons Going About in Balloons Should Be-
ware of Them.
From the Chicago Tribune.
H. HenneQuin Of Paris. France, who has had
some experience in aerial navigation, arrived
in the city yesterday from San Francisco on
his way home. Mr.. Hennequin was in Fon-
tenay at tho time Tissindier and Cover had
their startling adventure in q balloon The
traveller is an intimate friend of Cover and
tells the story of their fall of mile as the
ballonist related it to him:
''They assembled from T;ssindiers house in
Paris and foated off toward vincennes, and,
as the wind was somewhat strong from the
northeast, the two men soon disappeared from
the view OF Paris. having risen to q height of
1, 900 feet. When they had reached Fontenay.
however, they were fully 5000 feet above the
earth. They were sailing along smoothly, watch
ing the scenes below, when suddenly they
seemed to fall into hole in the atmosphere,
and down they went ct . terrific rate. Cover
filled their cars and both men thought their
time had come. Nothing had happened
to the balloon. 1t was in perfect con-
dition, but there seemed to be no
air to hold it up: Tissindier desperately threw
out sandbags. They wero falling so rapidly
that the bags were left far behind and disap-
peared above them. The earth seemed to be
rushing at them with the speed of o comet.
There seemed to be no atmosphere left. and
they could scarcely breathe. As last resort
Tssindier threw over the anchor and the re-
manning ballast, and the big balloon, after q
rush OF Q mile through the AIR, rseained its
poise and they were saved. The earth was but
fifty feet below"
''This goes to show" continued Mr.. Henne-
observed In carrying plenty Of ballast There
are in the air occasional rarefacti0ns, and whom

the steamer Vile 'Alger left the pier and in a

Whether we are to blame, the wind or sea,
the ship or the machinery we will never know,

never encountered by any of our party.

edge to the turquoise sky above.
