Changes In the Human Brain.

The wonderful changes which tho hu-
man brain undergoes from the moment
when 1t first appears in the embryo until
it becomes the perfected laboratory OF
thought characteristic to the matured hui
man being has been commented upon by
several Of the leading writers on biology,
physiology, eto. During these successive
changes, or, rather, transformations from
the lower to the higher sphere, the human
brain not only takes upon itself the gen.
eral shape and form of the brains OF yari-
GUS representatives of the lower classes Of
animals, but appears to have the same
structural constituents, at least to GER
tain degree. Thus 1t has been found that
the original germ of the brain as it appears
In the human embryo has the exact out
lines Of serpent's thought factory. After
that the changes which take place whiIo
the brain Is assuming the various shapes
which 1t must undergo before It becomes
perfect give 1t decided resemblance to
the brains of fishes, birds and mammlfer-
Gus animals.
Helms Thoughts On the Structure o!
the Human Brain" and Wilson'S "Anat-
omy Of the Human Body" both mention
these queer transformations, as does also
Hugh Miller in his famous work, "Test!-
mony of she Rocks" Miller puts it in this
way: at has long been known that the
human brain is built up by a wonderful
process, during which 1t assumes In sue
cession the form Of the brain Of serpent,
fish, bird and lastly, before it assumca
the characteristic human form, 1t takes
upon itself the outline Of mammiferous
quadrupeds BRAIN" Hence the remark
make by scientific writers that imam is the
sum total of all animals. st Louis Re-

Don't Blot Your Letters.

my eldest daughter tells me- said
Mr.. Glimmerton, ''that it is not good
form to blot a letter, and when I ask
her what I shall do when I get to the
bottom Of the page and want to turn to
the next, she says must wait for tho
ink to dry, though may, if wish, save
time by addressing the envelope mean
while.''
Here, as is usually the case, good
form is in accordance with good sense.
A blotted page is not uniform in ap-
pearance. More ink is taken from the
lower, the more freshly written part,
than from the more nearly dry writing
above, and so the writing upon the low
er part of the page is paler and for that
reason it is less legible. The blotting
may thus be a cause of inconvenience to
the recipient of the letter. His taste
may be offended by a want of uniform
ity, Of harmony in it's appearance, and
the fact that the letter has been blotted,
that the writer has hurried to get
through his task, may wound his pride.
So we mustn't blot our letters-t
is, our private letters-but by common
consent the use Of blotting paper is still
permissible in business correspondence

MODERN DRESS.


Its Remotsness From tho Happy K11scss
Demanded BY Art.
We are not so quixotical, says the
London Telegraph, as to ask sincerity
and earnestness from the modern art of
dress, which has quite victorio usly hid
den away the divine outlines Of the
feminine human form in outrageous
costumes and CONNECTIONS, utterly de-
stroying folds and drapery, upon the nat
ural grace and value of which In classic
days the chief scnlp tors-did not .disdain
to employ their careful chisels. Imagine
Pheidias or Praxiteles, today copying a
blouse or q divided skirt in a Pentelican
marble! Imagine even a Hindoo or a
Japanese lady being rather pleased and
proud than otherwise that her French
bonnet maker had supplied her with ge-
raniums or lilies in dyed muslin which
deceived bee. .Apelles, indeed, thought
it legitimate praise to hear that the
birds came to pick the grapes which he
had painted on the archon's wall at
Athens, but painting has illusion for
its proper object. There is, we repeat,
an unmistakable air of reproach and re-
buke to modern fashion in this, little
anecdote of the bee at the London gar
den party, which warned beauty and
youth how artificial they are in the way
of becoming, to the point of upsetting
the orderly course of things, and max
ing even the bees and butterflies skepti-
Cal about flowers. We shall not pursue
this line Of moralizing nevertheless;
in the first place because every line
which could be written would but add
to the undesired pride and complacency
Of the artificial flower makers, who will
soon, we suppose, offer to supply our
gardens and greenhouses, and, in the
next, because the strongest representa-
lions Of reason and of taste are vainly
made against the mysterious goddess of
fashion. She will go on decreeing what
extravaganza, what enormity, what bar
barism pleases her and her votaries-
not ashamed because honey bee took
her false blossoms for true ones, but de-
lighted at the compliment, and bent up
on fresh devices to mislead and cajole
the world which humbly obeys her man

London C2bbies' Trick.

Like ride, sir? Jump up Nothing
to pay
The writer was taking a stroll along
the Thames embankment one fine even
ing after supper when the driver of a
smart looking four wheeler pulled across
the road and hailed him thus curiously.
Jumped on the box beside him, and,
noticing my look of inquiry, he ex-
planned: "You see, sir, we cabbies are
not allowed to drive empty through the
Strand during this half hour just as the
theater goers are coming out. OF course
there is dead certainty of getting a
fare now if we can only manage to get
into the street. So to prevent the place
getting filed with cabs there is police
man at every side turning with strict
orders to turn us back as soon as there
are enough on the bank.
"But no bobby in the world can stop
a man driving fare into the Strand,
and so we ask a likely looking customer
to oblige us anG jump in while we drive
past the constable. Once in the street,
we are pretty sure of picking up fare
before we are noticed and ordered out
again.
"Thank you, sir, very MUCH" he
added as I alighted few doors from
the Villiers street end of the crowded
thoroughfare, "and good night! Cab,
sir? Yes, sir" and he quickly drove off
with his new fare.-Pearson' Weekly.

When the spring begins, the warmth.

the.sap circulates through the cells on
the way to the buds, which will swell
and soon burst into leaf When the
sugar maker. taps the tree, the pressure
of the sap on the cells forces it to exude
and flow from the opening made into
the sap wood. There is no special cur
rent up from the roots or Gown to them;
the tree is simply filled with sap all
through the sap wood, and mostly at
that part Of it which lies Immediately
under the bark, and where the new
wood will soon be formed Of the matter
held in solution in the sap. r
The sap will flow while the ground is
frozen, for it is the warmth in the air
that causes the flow and not the action
Of the roots in the soil. Thus it is quite
useless to spread any litter or other non
conducting matter under the tree in the
expectation that if the ground be kept
frozen the budding will be delayed. If
this effect be desired the whole tree
must be covered in and kept in dor
mant condition by low temperature
all over. Thus young trees may be kept
in cold storage for months, and are so
kept for shipment to Australia, where
the seasons are exactly the opposite Of
ours. New York Times.

you must learn to say. the right things

The aged spinster may be a perfect we'll

Possibly you are nervous and shy.
Try to overcome that. Force yourself to
say something. IF you are unfortunate
enough to be easily embarrassed, at
least get used to the sound Of your own
voice, and then you will not find your
self screaming from sheer nervousness
when you wish to speak low or whis-

words should be distinct. To be social
success you must govern your voice. and
usage is the only thing that will make
that possible. Do not be afraid to speak
