Science on Brains.

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. 1t 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. 1t 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 in man and has no
special connection with the higher in
tellectual processes that it has become
possible to recognize the fact that that
region is relatively more extensive in
women.

British Trades Unions Will Help Their
Striking Brethren.
BIRMINGHAM, Eng, Sept. 8.-The
Union congress resumed it's sessions,
with President Stevens in the chair.
The latter in his annual address said the
engineers strike was an instance of one
OF the best organized and most powerful
combinations in the world being in the
throes of great struggle with a pow
erful combination of capital It was
certain, he added, that the struggle
would be prolonged, and that the engi-
neers would have to appeal for help to
the trades unionists throughout the
country. That help, the president con-
tinued, must be given, for under no
circumstances could they allow the en-
gineers to be defeated. (Great cheer
ing.)
The delegates then unanimously and
enthusiastically adopted special reso-
luton pledging moral and financial
support to the striking miners.
Mr.. Pickard, M. p, president of the
Miners Federation Of Great Britain, in
supporting the motion, said that all
trade unionists should tender eight
hour notices, and "sink or swim" with
the engineers.

of the guards. "That perfect curl which

sive hair oils and pomades-very often

Most Tommies wrathfully declare
that chest padding is fabrication, but
I can assure you that it is done. Cav
alrymen in many crack regiments are
much more vain than women. Their
mustaches are trained, many of them
use face powder, and so perfect and
beautiful do their trousers fit that they
dare not sit down or bend the body
without extreme caution. To add a
charm to their walk the steel rowels
are taken out of their spurs and sawed
sixpences inserted instead, the result Of
which is lively musical jingle. -

WOMAN AND MUSIC.
The Tos Are Bound Together In All Up
to Date Education.

The Tes Are Bound Together In All Up
to Date Education.
If few years ago music had been de-
clared to be as necessary in education
as in mathematics or physics, the state
ment would have been received with
amazement, if not with derision. The
early aim of common school education
was the making Of practical men and
women, and by practical was meant
a preparation for the ordinary bread
winning affairs of life. Not that the
moral side of education was ignored,
but it was believed that the three RS
and the hard and fast sciences, together
with a general Endorsement of religion
and good ethics, were sufficient factors
in character building and all that the
schools should supply. Music, litera-
ture and drawing. if they found any
place in the curriculum, were merely
incidents that were not sufficiently
practical to he requisites, nor was their
more subtle and potent influence on the
character and the higher development
of the mind appreciated or perceived.
Ornamental they might be, but they
were not believed to be useful. Only
visionary sentimentality considered
these arts as necessary to public educa-
ton. Today art, in broad sense, occu-
pies far higher place in the regard of
every educator of note and of every
man who is alive to the interests of
well balanced and symmetrical educa-
ton. In fact, the art influence in edu-
cation is coming to be adequately ap-
preciated, and art is no longer considered
an incident in life, but rather the real
ity itself.
We are not attempting to detract
from the nobility of labor. That educa-
ton which POUNDS industries, which
adds to the comfort of mankind, which
makes possible the cultivation of the
arts, we must recognize. uphold and adj
mire, but that education which tells
us we are not altogether commercial
machines; that to love something for its
innate beauty and not for its pecuniary
worth is wise and good; that by loving
harmony Of sound we may come to
love harmony of deeds; that tones
which speak to us of others sorrows,
making us forget self, may be of more
worth in the end than much positive
science-such education we are begin
ming to revere and to see in it the most
practical method Of developing sweeter
women and nobler men. -Philadelp
