FaIiacy of Fish and Brain.

One popular fallacy in connection with
fish may be noticed, namely, the oft re-
peated assertion that the eating of that
particular food increases brain power
No one who has studied the subject can
possibly believe the assertion. A man
might eat a huge portion of fish every
day of his life, and on the day of his
death, if the quantity of phosphorus (the
brain invigorator) consumed were to be-
come visible, it would not amount to
more than might probably suffice to tip
a couple Of lucifer matches.
Communities have existed that lived
almost solely on fish, but these ichthy-
ophagists were certainly not famous for
intellectual attachments. Nor are our
fisher villages, in many of which much
fish is presumably consumed, the seats
Of any great amount of brain power.
None of our fsherfolks are remarkable
for genius, or even what is called COM
mon sense, their views of life and its re-
sponsibilities being shrouded In haze of
superstition, which they lack sufficient
strength Of mind to see through.
No fishing community, so far as is
known to the writer, has given to the
world a great man. Men of mark
poets, preachers, lawyers, philosophers,
warriors and physicians have elna-
mated, in Scotland at any rate, from all
classes except the fishing class. Temple
