OLD ESOP'S STORY.
1t is Ab-ut Re6elnon hat Ended in Fiat
TzilGre.

That wise old slave Esop, tells how the
jaws and the arms refused to supply aud
10 grind food for the stomach which, they
said, was a lazy thing living on its neigh
bOrs. OF course the rebeliious members
suffered and grew weak. As what we cali
science did not exist in Esop's day, it isn't
likely that even lie understood the full
force of this fable
We understand today the supreme i'm
portancc of treating the stomach well. for
the consequences OF indigestion extend
Il ON the bralu to The toes. Because of bad
digestion. there are SO many skinny. pale,
hiOodless meo and women in the woTii.
Nothing Will fatten and strengthen them
unless they can find n food that VIII pass
from the stomach iurO the blood without
digestion. Paskola Is such a pre-di sestsd
food.
II gives me great pleasure" says Dr.

Facts About Brains.

What Dr. Crochley Clapham says on
the subject of brains is always listened
to with respect This eminent physic-
ian, Who has made measurements on
1000 inmates Of asylums, states that
insane heads are larger on an average
than sane heads, though insane brains
are smaller. The weak point Of the in
sane head is the sma]lness of the meas
urements Of the cross or transverse
arches, that is, over the top from side
to side. The forehead Of the insane is
actually larger than that of the sane,
an observation which tends to discredit
the noble brow" but is borne out by
the fine foreheads Of the Amos of
Yeddo, who are remarkably stupid. Ac-
cording to DR.. Clapham, the frontal
segment Of the whole circumference Of
the head is greater in proportion to the
than among the sane. The frontal
lobes Of the brain in idiots or imbe
Giles weigh more in proportion to the
whole ncephaltn than in the sane.
The form of the insane head is usually
greatest diameter posterior to the ecu
trail pc Mt of the head. These observa-
tions rather tend to show that the back
lobes Cf the brain are the seat Of in
teligerce. DR.. Crichton Browne says
that the Scotch brain is the wcigbtiest
in the United Kingdom. The English
comes next, and Dr. Browne adds:
'"nhe weight of the Irish brain is I'm
known" What lie means was that he
had no figures at hand. AS matter Of
fact, weighings have been made of the
Irish brain. which prove it a little
lighter than the English. Mere weight,
of course, docs not mean intelligence,
but, other things being equal, the heav-
Ter brain is presumably the better one.
The superior weight of the Scotch
brain, when taken with the fact elected
not long ago by DR.. Conan Doyle, that
Scotland is richer III eminent men than
any other country, becomes much more
significant.

Tor Hard Times.

The financial success of an inventor
lies in his ability to hit the present
needs of the people. A thing that meets
a general and long-felt want is sure to
sell. Evidently this consideration was
fully appreciated by the genius of
whom the Indianapolis Journal has a
story.
