He Knew Her Perfectly.

The outspoken ways and caustio say
ings Of DR.. Jephson of bennington, eel
ebrated in the forties and tfties, have
furnished the kernel of many anecdotes.

BlSMARCKS BIG HEAD.
Measurements Showing That the Space For
Brains In 1t Is Extraordinary.


Brains In 1t Is Extraordinary.
Bismarck S head, says a correspond
cnt of L 'Anthropologie, has been care
fully measured according to the rules of
anthropometrics by the sculptor Schaph
of Berlin, who made the statue of Bis
marck set up at Cologne. The measure
ments prove that Bismarck has q head
horizontally from the frontal bone to
the occiput the head is 212 millimeters,
Or more than 8.35R inches. The dis
lance from temple to temple is ITO mil
imeters, or trifle over G.69 inches.
Bismarck's Uranium has a capacity of
1865 cubic centimeters, and his brain
should weigh / ,SG7 grams.
These figures become especially sig
niicant when compared with the meas
urements Of other heads. OF 2, 500 heads
measured at Baden Baden only one ex-
ceeded 200 millimeters horizontally
from front to back, and that one meas
ured 206 millimeters, or six millimeters
less than Bismarck s. The mean meas

Science society at Carlsruhe We're 1876
millimeters from front to back by 1916
millimeters from temple to temple. The
biggest of these heads measured 900 by
162 millimeters. The cubic measure
ment Of 245 German heads was nearly
500 cubic centimeters under Bismarck's s,
while the estimated weight of Bis
marck's brain is 80 per cent above that
of the average adult European brain. In
fact, Bismarck is man not only of
blood and iron, but as we'll Of brains.

A DROP OF WATER.
The Wonders That May BE Seen Therein
Through a MiCroscope.


Through Microscope.
To the ordinary mortal drop of wa
ter is what the primrose was to Peter
Bell, q drop of water and nothing moro,
but to the student of nature, armed
with high power microscope, it imme-
diately becomes world teeming with
living creatures, the most minute repre-
sentatives of animal life. These thoughts
were suggested by reading Professor
Grace's description of a battle he once
witnessed while examining a collection
of rotifers, which were amassed i'll q
single drop of fresh water. Among 9th
ers, Mr.. Grace noticed fine specimen
of infusorian, which was swimming
back and forth among the rotifers, as if
intent on mischief. On the following
day it was noticed that the rotifer col
ony had lost several of its members, and
that the infusorians form had rounded
out until he resembled miniature ST
Louis bartender. Mr.. Grace now re-
solved to watch the infusorian's move
ments and ascertain if possible the
modus operandi whereby the capture
of such expert swimmers as the
rotifers are known to be was effected
A few minutes wait sufficed. Soon it
was noticed that the infusorian was
slowly and continuously working his
way around the foot of a rotifer, which
was resting on the glass slide.
Around and around he went as slyly
as mouse in an oats bin, and when he
had finished it was noticed that the
rotifer's foot was firmly cemented to the
glass. The infusorian, seeming to know
his victim was secure, began to goad
the tethered creature and torment it in
all the ways that devilish ingenuity
could suggest. He would jump upon its
back and bite it in several places with
hghtninglike rapidity and then spring
off and seize a leg and pull it almost
watched this unequal combat for nearly
half hour, when it was noticed that
the rotifer was dying from exhaustion.
Noting the death of his victim, the in
fusorian proceeded to devour his prey, as
he doubtless had done the others that
were missing.
Mr.. Grace next examined small
body of water, consisting of four drops,
in which there were several infusoria
and rotifers. The former proved the
enemies of the latter, just as in the sin
gle drop previously examined. 1t was
also noticed that the infusorian, having
devoured victim, would almost imme
diately divide into two or four new ami
mails, each of which would quickly
swim away i'll search of prey, just as its
parent had done before.-S Louis Re-
public.

RESURRECTION.

Trust gives sweet peace to every living thing
The wavering robin that in space has flown
Finds its safe nest the germ of roses sown
Waits sure in darkness for the touch of spring
The tendrils of the ivy blindly cling,
Stretching their brown threads toward the
wall unknown
To find n place secure, where, spite tho
moan
OF rushing Winds they hang till soft airs sing
We who love life fear most the mystic death,
Yet we in death the sClfSamc lie shall live
This very life we know-hut glorified,
And the fair temple which now holds our
breath
Shall simply take the glory seraphs give,
Renew its joys and say, ~ have not died"

LAWS THAI ARE VERY DEAD.
Some of the Statutes that Cannot He En-
forced at All.

forced at Ali.
New York. July 30.-Until recently II
has been generally regarded as a set
Ted principle that laws may become
obsolete the same as words. But since
Theodore Roosevelt's emphatic decla-
alton that the laws should be string
emily enforced Just as they are, no mat
ter how obnoxious they may be, the
widespread discussion consequent up
on his attitude has given rise 10 much
Specula ton as TO what the result would
be If all the laws N all the states were
strictly enforced.
1t may not prove embarrassing, there
fore, TO call attention 10 few queer
laws that are practically dead letters.
1t is, of course, not the purpose here to
say aught concerning the merits OF
these laws.
Most OF the states have laws against
plasphemy. The legal definition of this
offense varies greatly in the different
states, as does also the punishment
In its broadest sense a mere denial
of the truth of the scriptures or any
contumelious remark concerning them
or any portion of them is blasphemy.
The New England states, Pennsylva-
mia, Delaware, Arkansas, New Jersey,
Maryland, Iowa, and the Dakotas, are
some of the states that have laws aga
inst blasphemy. The punishment in
Delaware is a fine not exceeding $50 or
two months Imprisonment. In Massa-
chusetts, however, the penalty is not
exceeding $500 or two years in states
prison. In New Jersey, it will be re-
membered, the law against blasphemy
came near being invoked, not many
months ago, against Colonel lngerSoll
Had Mr.. IngersOll persisted in deliver
ing his usual lecture he might have
been subjected TO a fine Of $500 and i'm
prisoned twelve months at hard labor
But it is not often that We are remind
ed of the existence of this law.
What a hubbub there would be if the
laws against profanity were enforced!
Most of the states have such laws. The
penalty varies greatly. In Massa chu-
sets it is not less than 81 nor more than
s. for each oath. In Maine it is 81 for
the first and So for every subsequent
oath. 1t is easy 10 see that the public
Golfers would soon be filled TO overflow
ing if these laws were strictly enforced
In Maryland, again, swearing is
quite cheap, the first oath costing only
% cents, and subsequent ones 90 cents
each. Pennsylvania, however, has the
most curious law against swearing.
There any one who shall swear by
the name of Cod, Jesus Christ, or the
Holy Ghost shall forfeit g. cents for
every such profane oath" And whoev
er shall swear by any other name
or thing than as aforesaid shall forfeit
40 cents for every such oath" Thus
the mild exclamation by Jove" would
