HOW We THINK AND ACT.

1t is a common thing to hear people
talk about what they think, of the
subjects they understand, and howthey
reasoned this way ald that way, in
certain matters. But it is a question
if one in a Thousand people has ever
stopped to consider hop they think,
and by what occult processes in the
brain the reasoning faculty, or intelli-
gence, performs it's duties? Never
theless it is probably the most inter-
esting study of any that pertains to
human anatomy. The material mo-
tions of the body are understood, to IL
limited extent. but the actions of the
mind are rarely, if ever, thought of,
ever by professional phrenologists.
OF all the machines the world has
ever seen, the most elaborate, compli-
Gated and intricate could not compare
with the machinery of the human sys-

of delicate white strings or tllaments,

No matter what muscle or organ of
the body becomes in any way affected
the news is promptly transmitted

This is well exemplitied and perhaps
more lucidly explained in the cut

sense of hearing and the organ of

that the clearer n understands his
mechanism the better will he or She
be able to know what is the matter
with them when they are sick. AS it
is, people often have symptoms of seri-
Gus diseases, which they treat lightly,
if at all, because they do not cOmpre-
bend fully the Importance of these
disease indications, and, as they do not
realize the danger, they neglect the
trouble until it is often too late. With
a better knowledge Of their own con
struction and susceptibility to diseases
they would take far more precautions
in the early stage of their trouble and
thus prevent its dangerous increase.

Rapid as lightning is, quick as are

The actual seat of life, the point
from which the vitality of u whole

upper part of the spinal cord, at the
base Of the brain. (See Fig.) 1t will

speaking, the main or "grand trunk"

Punched of face and pale of feature,
And seemingly the weakest of her sex,
Five feet high perhaps-no taller,
Not a woman there is smaller,
But of danger in the crowd she little recks.

The girl was unquestionably beautl-

were plainly visible in her white and
drawn face as she slept.
Mrs. Blythe had seen the Colonel
and Claude, and a consultation, with
the physician as adviser, had resulted
in the determination to prepare Con-
stance for the surprise OF seeing her
lover back at her side.
The picture which had been a work
of loyal love on Claude's part, was
moved into the invalid's room in a
conspicuous position, with a curtain
thrown loosely v e it.
The society wOman'S feelings had
fought between pride of caste on one
side and love for her child on the
other, and the latter had won the
battle. Her firm resolve now was to
endeavor to undo,as far as she could,
the evil she had done. She never
seemed to realize the enormity of her
action until she was shown the pOr-
trait of Constance as she used to be.
The contrast between the merry,
nink-cheeked maiden of a year ago
and the pale-faced invalid lying before
her now was so great that it made her
tremble for fear her ridiculous pride
had killed her only child. A reaction

The report of the explosion was heard
in this city, distance Of more than two

upon the boiler house employees without
warning, and only one Of them, Pole,

buried between the mass of debris. and
some of the bodies were not recovered

the adjoining boilers went up Ill quick
