Enormous Brain and Thin skull.

When Ivan Turgeneff, the great
Russian novelist, died in 1888, his
brain was removed for the purpose of
weighing it. the distinguished physi-
clans and surgeons having often re-
marked the extraordinary size of his
head. When placed on the delicate
balances the brain was found to weigh
exactly 2,012 grammes. The meaning
of this can be better understood when
it is known that the weight of the
average human brain is but 1880
grammes. Turgeneff's brain was the
heaviest that has yet been weighed.
Culver's coming next, his having
weighed 1.800 grammes. There are
many cases in which an extraordinary
intellect has been accompanied by
heavy brain weight, but men whose
mental superiority is understood by
friend and foe have often had brains
under the average weight. One other
popularity of Turgeneff was the sur
prising thinness of his skull. When at
school he often tainted from being
playfully tapped on the temples by his
school-fellows. The post-mortem,
which revealed the enormous weight
of the brain, also proved that the
skull was so thin that it would yield to
the pressure of the finger and thumb.

THE FIRST KISS.
It Made Him Feel So Good that He Re-
members 1t Well.

Sweetheart, twas but while ago-it scarce
seems yesterday,
Though now my hair is white as snow and
yours is turning gray
That walking in the twilight haze, when
bright stars blushed above,
You told me that you loved me, and kissed
you for that love!
The first kiss dear; and then your hand-dear
hand, so soft and sweeti
Far whittier than the white, sweet sand that
twinkled meath your feet
Lay tenderly within my own. Have queens
such lovely hands?
No wonder that the whip-poor-wills made
sweet the autumn lands.
1t seemed to me that my poor heart would
beat to death or break,
While all the world, sweetheart sweetheart
seemed singing for your sake;
And every rose that barred the way in glad
and dying grace
Forgot it's faded summer day, and, leaning,
kissed your face!
I envied all the roses then, and all the rosy
ways
That blossomed meath our feet are still my
lifeS bright yesterdays;
But, thinking of that first sweet KISS and that
first clasp of hands,
Life's whip poor wills sing sweeter now
through all the autumn lands.

A Pretty wedding.

Its just year ago to-day" said
she who told the story. "We had been
schoolmates, and she asked me to come
on an early train and help her and her
mother through the day. 1t was in
the morning when stepped under the
thick woodbine that grew about the
door of that angular little house on the
edge of New England village. She
had a broad hat on, and she said,
Come
1--WE went out into the pasture land
beyond the village and we filled our
arms with golden rod and cardinal
flowers. Then we walked back to the
house and her mother fetched jars and
vases and big bowls, and we put our
flowers about the rooms.
He came by the noon train and she
went to the gate in her print dress and
her broad hat to meet him. We had a
little dinner together, her mother. he.
she, and l.
Then she went to dress and came
down stairs again in half an hour in a
simple little white gown. It was 2
o'clock when the neighbors began to
arrive. She went to the door to meet
| them herself, and she took the minis
ter's hat and showed the minister S
wife where to put her things.
Then by and by the minister said.
Are you ready?' AHd she said yes;'
and then the two of them stood before
the minister. aud she put one hand be-
hind her and into the hand of heI
mother, who sat just there on the sofa.
And when the minister began. Will
you.' she said, 1 will before he got
half through.
After that she put on white apron
and saw all had cake and ice cream.
Then when it was time for her to &C
away she changed her dress again,
and we all walked to the railway sta
ton to see her started. When the trair
came putting up she turned to me
Stay with mother till tomorrow, and
Pll get letter to her by that time
She'll be lonely this evening"

Clothes That Royalties Wear.

What funny people royalties are! IF
l were to visit Persian in his home"
writes Labouchere, lit would never oc-
cur to me to put on flowing robe and
sheepskin hat and to expect the Per-
sian to receive me in European garb.
But royalties never seem able to meet
without exchanging clothes. For in
stance. when the emperor arrived at
Port Victoria his majesty made his ap-
pearance in the garb of an English ad-
miral, and the prince of Wales respond
ed to this delicate attention by donning
the dress of Blucher hussar. while his
brothers and son masqueraded as Ger
man hussars and uhlands."

The transition state we are in is try
ing beyond compare to women, and
men are too often hasty and unjust in
their condemnation of women who
are seeking footholds in the industrial
world. Those who know the history
the sex realize that there has been
gross injustice done women, and that
they are more to blame for it than
any one else. 1t is always harder to
retrieve a lost position than to fight
in it, but the dire necessity of women
makes them strong. and twenty
years hence we will note a vast i'm
provement in their condition.
Before the coming century reaches
us women will have retaken some of
the lost ground; physically, they are
rapidly improving and gaining the
strength they had as workers. The
woman question settles itself as soon
as p~ecuniary independence is re
gained for with il is allied bodily
health, mental vigor and moral STAN
ina. All that the sex ask is TO be rein
vested with their former privileges,
and to be enthroned as the bead OF the
home, as an equal worker and par
taksr of the blessings that come to
those who are its creators and sup
ports.-Lourd c. Holioaoay in Drake,
