Science on Brains.
The following extract is from Have

The following extract is from Have lock Ellis book, Man and Woman"
 Again, until quite recent times it has over and over again been emphat- ically stated by brain anatomists that the frontal region is relatively larger in men, the parietal in women. This conclusion is now beginning to be re- garded as the reverse of the truth, but we have to recognize that it was in evitable. It was firmly believed that the frontal region is the seat of all the highest and most abstract intellectual processes and if on examining dozen or two brains an anatomist found him. self landed in the conclusion that the frontal region is relatively larger in women, the probability is that he would feel that he had reached con- clusion that was absurd. It may in deed be said that it is only since it has become known that the frontal region of the brain is of greater relative extent in the ape than it is ill man and has no special connection with the higher in tellectual processes that it has become possible to recognize the fact that that legion is relatively more extensive in women" "

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours |; a sediment or settling indicates an un- healthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it Is evidence of kidney trouble Too frequent desire to urinate, or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.

 There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great k idney remedy, fulfils every wish D relieving pain in the back kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inabil- ity to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for it's wonderful cures | of the most distressing cases.

Temperance i'm the B Buffalo Schools.

One evening of the recent national con- vention in Buffalo. was devoted to an ex- hibit of practical school room work by pupils and teachers from Buffalo, under the direction of Superintendent Emerson. A primary class, consisting of forty bits of hunfanity- sang in an inimitable way the temperance truths which they had American flag. Small as the children were, their shrill voices could be heard to the utmost limits of Music Hall, and it is needless to say they brought down the house. The intermediate lesson outlined the reasons why drinks containing even a little alcohol are dangerous, and the high school class brought out a still further de- velopment of the subject showing the effect of alcohol upon the brain and the nerves.
 An address giving a brief history Of the revision of the text books was given by General A. c. Barnes, the first publisher who dared to stand by Mrs. Hunt in her efforts to secure right literature on this subject. Rev. O. P. Clifford of Buffa'o spoke of Mrs. Hunts work in securing the temperance education law of New
 York. The addr ess of the evening by Mrs. Hunt was cut short by the length of the program and she gracefully gave place to others.
 ing speech from Miss Willard, in which she contrasted the scientific knowledge of school children in this generation as to the evil and dangerous character of alcohol, with that of years ago, empha- sizing particularly the great blessing to the future of our nation which this teach ing will bring. She ended with a glow ing tribute to Mrs. Hunt as the author and promoter of the work, adding that future generations would rise up and call her blessed; that the day would come when busts and tablets of purest marble, In the worlds audience rooms would do her honor, and when our public squares would coutain her statue in bronze on which xthe. school childrenof of a coming day SfiI hang yreaths of costliest flowers. sS:fSsfs soar Presidents.s.

THE GENERALS GREETING.
nv HAMTJN GARLAND.

It was midday in the battle of the
Wilderness. and small teamster of IL
was standing beside his wagon near Cen
eral Meade's headquarters and close to
the CORY, hurried and troubled surgeons
who were looping limbs from faint
soldiers in blue.
All the horrors of battle were there
conferred; rills of blood, stacks of livid
limbs. rows of suffering bodies torn and
mangled. One by one the blue-clad men
We're lifted to rough table; keen
sponge swung to the nostrils, the knife
blade fell upon flesh, the saw followed.
A few moments of rapid work and the
subject inanimate as wood was laid aside
to make room on the bed of slaughter
FOR . comrade.
The young teamster stood there waiting
for his wagonload of human torsos, feel
ing all the horror, all the benumblng ter
ror of the battle.
He could hear the dread continuous
thunder to the front, and could see the
smoke rising like a cloud above the bat
teries of crouching cannon, unseen but
savage Home seemed as far away as
heaven to the boy, and the world ap-
peared to be given up to slaughter and
to dying men.
Standing so, he saw horseman. aD-
preaching, and forgot for the moment
his terror by reason of his admiration
for the horse and his rider. The horse
came. his FURNISHED neck and fore-arms
seemed to flash in the light.
His rider sat him gloriously. the reins
in his left hand guiding as if by force OF
habit He appeared not to know the
horse was moving. He descended hol-
lows. leaped burrows, skirted banks, yet
the rider sat his saddle, careless. secure,
graceful and erect.
HIS retrospective eyes fell upon the
boy and he drew his horse almost 10 a
walk He was a care-worn man. dressed
in a plain blue blouse much faded, ana
his hat was equally weather beaten. his
face was pensive grave and unyleiulng
as q granite mask.
The boy thrilled with excitement and
awe and worshipful admiration; he
knew this sad-faced, careless. splendid
rider to be the great commander In
General Grants eyes flashed a sudoen
look of pity and horror. AS he passed ne
said: o,,
He swent on, but his tender paternal
cadence of voice and his sad, sad face
the boy never forgot.
once. long after, when the boy was a
middle-aged man and the general had
been twice president of the United States;
they met In the midst of throng OF
people the commander stood, ana the
civilian approaching said:
II saw you once before, general; Ii
was at the Wilderness. You passed me
on horseback, and you said: Sonny,
what are you doing here?
The generals impressive face darkened
with the memory of that terrible day;
then a slow smile crept round his hDs
and eyes. II. OPT r
didn't suppose you'd remember me.
