BRAIN POWER.

The Wonderful Intellect Accompanying
One OF the Lightest Of Human Brains.
DR.. Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, an Eng
lish woman, in arguing the question OF
"sex in education" accepts for the sake OF
argument the assertion that allowing for
the difference in bodily size Of the average
woman and the average man it will still
be found that the woman's brain is
the smaller. But DR.. Anderson thinks that
the evidence in support of the assertion is
strangely inconclusive, for the average
woman does not have her brain weighed
at all She dies comfortably in her own
bed and is duly buried with her skull IN
tact. The women whose brains DR..
Crichton Browne has been able to weigh
and examine belong almost exclusively TO
the poorest class. They are women whom
poverty has driven to die among the cold
comforts Of workhouse or hospital, and
whose friends, if they had any, are care
less to claim their bodies. To generalze
about all women and men from an exam
ination Of the brains OF few individuals
belonging to this poorest and least intel
lectual classes seems distinctly unscien-
tific.
There is q further assumption that the
power Of the brain is necessarily proper
tional to the size of the brain. This as
sumption sounds plausible, but that is the
most that can be claimed for it. There is
absolutely no proof that a small brain i'm
plies intellectual weakness. And indeed
there can be no proof In order to ascer-
tain the intellectual strength Of any indi-
viduals it is necessary TO observe them for
a considerable part of a lifetime, and
above all for that part Of their lives when
they are in the fullest health. But obvi-
ously it is impossible for doctor to make
a practice of watching his healthy neigh
bors in order 10 ascertain their brain
power, and then the moment they are dead
pounce upon their skulls to weigh the con-
tents.
In one famous case something analogous
to this was done with the most remarkable
results. The brain Of Sir Isaac Newton,
who, as his epitaph tells, Tin intellectual
power surpassed the human race" was
weighed and the scales showed that it was
one Of the highest that had ever been
found within a human skull. COnse-
quently when medical men assert that
women's brains are less than mems, and
infer proportional inferiority Of intellect,
the first answer is that neither the assertion
nor the inference is supported by sufficient
evidence
Dr. Anderson also ingeniously suggests
that if mems brains are bigger it may be
because women's brains are used less.
This completely inverts the argument.
Instead of asserting that women cannot do
intellectual work because their brains are
too small we may equally well argue that
women's brains are small because they do
too little intellectual work.

Deep Excavations Washed Out

ROANOKE. Va. August 23.-lSpecial J
There was a cloud-burst over the city at
$50 o'clock last night and rain fell in tor
rents for over four hours filing cellars and
the first floor of business houses on Campbell
and Salem avenues. aud Nelson, Henry
and Commerce streets between these
thoroughfaros. Doors were burst open.
windows crushed in by floating debris
and goods washed out and away.
The loss in goods damaged
will reach 100000. Many buildings
are seriously damaged by the undermining
OF foundations. The electric light plant
WAS flooded and the city enveloped in dark
ness. The fremen volunteered and pa
troled the streets TO protect property from
thieves. Barney Smith, in attempting TO
cross Salem avenue, stepped into an excs-
vation for a sewer and was drowned.
Policeman Peck subsequently lost his foot
ing and fell in but was pulled out lnsensl-
bic.
Men and horses travelling the Hooded
streets we're compelled TO swim. The
electric cars are not running and 1t VIII be
week before lights and power for the opera
ton of machinery in many establishments
can be restored. The storm was confined
principally TO Roanoke. SIX miles west
ward there was only light sprinkle OF rain.
Farmers two miles south Of the city were
blowing to-day. while north and east the
rainfall was very light.

GARDEN PARTIES.
An Enjoyable and Conventions Form of
Hospitality I'm Fine Weather.

An Enjoyable and COnvcnient Form of
Hospitality I'm Fine Weather.
The one all important element TO the
success Of garden party is fine weather
yet. in spite Of the variability and IN
certainty as regards the elements, garden
and tennis parties are projected long
beforehand, and invitations issued ac-
cordingly. In some instances where it
is possible provision is made against
probable doWnpour; in others happy chance
is relied upon and fine day hoped for ard
desired TO the last moment.
Garden parties given in town or in the
suburbs are almost afternoon parties in
the open air Tennis is not the all en-
crossing amusement as in country neigh
borhoods; the ladies are too daintily
dressed and do not care TO wear tennis
shoes in a fashionable crowd or to get
overheated Thus amusements, drawn
from the various channels now open 10 the
eivers Of entertainments, are invariably
forthcoming, whether il be a popular band
pr something in the way Of novelty, or
band and novelties combined, it being
merely a question Of expense.
Tents are a great advantage TO those
who have small grounds and small houses,
but in the country these are seldom if ever
required. When very large garden parties
are given, however, q large tent, with all the
convenient appliances now In use, will be a
valuable addition TO the requisite accOmmO-
dation for tea and refreshments. A tennis
party Of ordinary numbers usually finds
ITS way into the house for tea, which is
either given in a large dining room or hall.
On fine days guests are received out Of
doors. and unless they arrive late are not
shown into the tearoOm. The move for
tea from the grounds is made by the
hostess and becomes very general in few
minutes. The rsfreshment list should in
clude everything good, and generally does
70. Ices, strawberries and cream, grapes,
peaches, jellies creams, sandwiches, cakes
OF every description, etc, tea and coffee.
champagne cup and claret cup. Small
round tables, when space permits, are
convenient adjunct in the tsaroom.
