Fallacy of Fish and Brain.

One popular fallacy in connection
with fish may be noticed, namely, the
off repeated assertion that the eating
Of that particular food increases brain
power. No one who has studied the
subject can possibly believe the as
sertion. 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 in
vigorator) consumed were to become
visible, it would not amount to more
than might probably suffice to tip a
couple Of luciter matches.
Communities have existed that
lived almost solely on fish. but these
ichthyophagists were certainly not
famous for intellectual attainments.
Nor are our fisher villages, in many
of which much fish is presumably, the
seats of any great amount Of brain
power. None of our fisherfolks are
remarkable for genius, or even what
is called common sense, their views of
life and its responsibilities being
shrouded in a 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 great man. Men of mark
poets, preachers, lawyers, philosophers,
warriors and physicians-have ema-
mated, in Scotland at any rate, from
all classes except the fishing class

Mans Two Reputations.

> | am always interested in what may
be called the two regulations which
each man has; one is his public name,
the other his personal or private en-
inence; the one is the distinction
which he has among people, the other
the regard paid to him by his own
immediate set or following. Arch
deacon Farrar has a great reputation
among the ordinary people of
America and Great Britain, but
scholars look upon him with much of
suspicion as an accurate and profound
exegete. Bishop Westcott, however,
has small reputation among the
people. Probably not one in twenty
of those who read this paragraph ever
heard his name. but the respect in
which he is held by scholars is of the

The Laborer Should be Honored.
The real dignity Of labor IS well
| symbolized and set forth in those
single acts at the beginning or end of
great work which represent to the
imagination the whole enterprise.
The corner stone of a great build
ing is generally laid by some official
dignitary who, in an unaccustomed
apron and with a trowel which he
uses clumsily, makes a pretense of
doing the actual work of putting the
stone in place. Crowds stand about
to witness the work, and orations are
made and hymns sung.
The knocking away of the prop
which sends vessel off the ways and
into the water is an event of equal
consequence and interest, because it
represents the noble task of construct
ing great ship.
When one of the greatest engineer
ing works of all time was completed
the construction ofthe Pacific rail-
road-it was regarded as a great
honor to drive the last spike that
bound the last rail to the earth and
the spike which served at least tenn
porarily for the work was made of
of silver.
Emperors, kings and presidents
start with their own hands the machin.
cry of great industrial exhibitions,
themselves typical in high degree of
the Importance of manual labor.
In certain sense it would be more
fitting that these ceremonies, which
concentrate into a single instant's act
long periods Of hard labor. should be
performed by one of the real working
men who are engaged upon the enter
prise. 1t is they who do the work.
and they might well claim that the
honor of the key ceremony belongs 10
them.
This was what was done, indeed,
when the first blow of the pick was
struck in the construction Of the build
ings for the Worlds fair of 1893 at
Chicago.-Youth's Companion.
