The Law OF Growth.

DR.. Charles Sedgewick Minot, pro-
fessor of histology and embryology in
the Harvard Medical school, backs up
his theory Of the law Of growth by the
results of several years of observation
upon guinea pigs, dogs, rabbits, ferrets
and other small animals, as well as Bos-
ton school children. He says that in all
growing animal organisms from the
period of birth to death there is steady
loss Of the power to grow, contrary to
the general belief that this loss begins
later in life The body develops all the
time, but the power to keep up that de-
velopment steadily decreases after birth,
and it decreases much more rapidly at
first than later in life. A guinea pig
two days old will gain 10 per cent OF
its weight i'll the next two days. But
the twenty-fifth addition Of 10 per cent
to its weight Will take the pig SO days.
The law is the same with animals and

Interruptions by the Court.

Lord Chief Justice Erie was prone to
interrupt counsel when it was found that
the judges had already made up their
minds against him. On one occasion Mr..
Bovill, @. c., soon afterward made a
Judge, was stopped with: Here we
stand we four men, and we have all
firmly emphasizing the adverb) made
up our minds that there must be new
trial, but if you think it worth your
while going on after that (playfully),
why of course We'll keep on hearing
you" Whereupon the @. G. laughingly
sat down.
On another occasion he again inter
rupted with II beg to inform the coun-
sci there is a time in the mind OF ev-
cry man at which he lets down the flood
gates Of his understanding and allows
not one more drop to enter, and that
time, in my mind, has fully arrived.

Parliamentary sereamers.

Wagner about public opinion, the chan

the saying Of Napoleon l that three

Ths late Charles Floqnet, who had
been at the head of the government OF
the French republic in more than ons
ministry, was a redoubtable fighter in
politics. His extreme benevolcnce was
sometimes taken advantage OF by his
suhortlinates.
Once, when prime minister, floquet
had signed an order for the dismissal OF
functionary who did not properly per-
form his duties and could not be made

who had access to the minister and who
knew his characteristic in this respect,
said to M Floquet about the man:
"You could not do otherwise, Mr..
Minister, for the man is incorrigible.
But it's too bad he has eight children. "

Floquet put the dismissal away in a

The next day the troublesome official

and said to him that he ought to be dis

Architecture.

The American student to whom the
mysteries Of architecture are made clear
in Paris or New York forgets what was
the former sanctity of his art. Mr.. Her.
bert Spencer shows conclusiyely that the
professional architect of thousands of
years ago was the priest. Early archi-
lecture sprang from ancestral worship,
and ancestral worship was the oldest Of
all beliefs. The graves of the departed
had first to be preserved. The embellish-
ment came afterward; thence the call
ing Of the architect became sacred. The
relic had to be preserved within an
elaborate shrine. At first it might have
been that the erection Of tomb called
forth certain amount Of skill, and soon
the temple followed the tomb. Mentu-
holtp's hieroglyphic inscription that
"the chief architect was promoted and
became a priest" shows the merging OF
the two callings.
II am great architect" says King
Bekenkhonsu, "and was holy father
Of Anon for IL years. Sometimes the
architect in Egypt was also general
Herbert Spencer shows how any specia
skill among primitive people was al
ways supposed by them to be derived
from some supernatural power Their,
