skull of man under the influence of ether and looked at the brain in ac- tion. but the cells under such condi- tions, were so nearly dormant that he llearned no more than he might have ascertained from section of dead brain. When some man is philan- thropic enough and has nerve enough to offer his cranium to the knife and saw without taking anaesthetics to render him unconscious, the human brain cells may be seen in action-that is, if such action can be traced without staining.
 Since Golgi, the Italian, q few years ago discovered how to stain the brain cells and their connections, it has been learned that all brains are essentially alike in their physical aspect. The difference in mentality is due to diff ference in the number and size of the cells. their connections. etc. There is doubtless also q chemical difference; for the blood of no two species of ami malls is exactly the same chemically. But the general appearance of the cells and their connections have so many points of resemblance that much may be learned of the highly organized brain of man by studying the brain of n little transparent crustacean belong ing to the crab family.
 Golgi's method of staining has en- abled the observers to trace the cells and their connections in all their com plications. All the large cells of the brain, called neurons, are connected with one another by nerve flores and dendrons, as they are called. The nerve fibers are more or less stringy looking, resembling the roots of a radish. At the other end of the big cells are the dendrons. which look little like the tops of the radish. Throughout the brain large number of small cells may be seen connecting the nerve fbers and dendrons. These cells show great variety of forms.
 Throughout these complicated chains of cells and the net work of stringy fiber the nerve impulses are constantly passing and repassing with lightning rapidity, while the brain is active. The neurons, or big cells especially in the cortex of the brain, are found to be the seats of memory-the storehouses of the brain. Prof. c. F. Hodge has proved this conelusively by studying the brain of the above mentioned crustacean. He has also noted the eff fects of fatigue and sleep upon the brain of this little creature. After the crustacean had been kept under the microscope long enough to fatigue il holes began to appear in the proto- plasan of the big brain cells, and the nucleus and its core began to shrink The creature was then allowed to sleep and the cells soon resumed their nor nal shape.

Fish Struck by Ltghtninr.

Some Bantry bay fishermen report a peculiar freak of lightning while they had their net in the sea recently. 4 bolt struck one end of the pole and passed along some distance on, the cork line. When they took up the net all the fish at the end of it had turned red.

NO. H..
A Fiend In Human Form.

A Correspondent of the Evanv
ston Register, writing from jack
sons Hole tells the following har.
rowing story:
No more tragic or sorrowful
happening ever occurred in our val
ley than the closing scenes in the
life of Mrs, Sargent. All that
kindness and medical skill could
DO was not enough to save the life
Of the fearing and loving
woman, and at last the bruised and
i'll treated body refused to retain
the spirit.
The suffering Of Mrs. Sargent for
months prior to her death are only
known to the all seeing One and
the brutal husband, who caused
her early demise. The charge that
he is the cause of her death this
correspondent is willing TO assume
responsibility for. 1t did not take
q postmortem examination TO re-
veal the fact that Mrs. Sargent was
suffering from the fracture Of the
thigh bone and two broken ribs.
The opinion of a competent physi-
clan is given that her stomach
troubles were caused by irritant
poisons. If these facts. coupled as
they are with other brutalities, too
infamous to mention, which were
practiced upon this weak and ema-
ciated woman by her husband, are
not sufficient justification to charge
him as her murderer, then justice
is sham and crime should be al
lowed to run rampant.
Mrs. Sargent to the last refused
to reveal the author of her miseries,
only asking to be taken away from
her inhuman husband; dying, asks
ing only that her children be cared
for by her own people and that
they might never be given over to
the control of the father, and that,
her own body might be removed to
her faroff home in Maine; praying
to her last conscious moment that
she might never gaze upon the
author Of her troubles. The fol-
lowing day as the sun closed DER
the western mountains, all that
was mortal of q loving mother was.
laid away in the grave to await the
of the resurrection morns
while around her bier strong men
and women wept as they gazed
upon the scene.

New Laws.

The last legislature passed sever
al new laws Of interest to the state,
counties aad cities.
For instance hereafter road over
seer will be elected by the votes Of
the various districts in the county.
Said election will take place on the
first Monday of each December at
one O'Clock p, IN. Vacancies are
to be filled by the board of COM
missioners.
Cities can, by ordinance, make
the annual dog tax not less than
S3 per head nor more than $40,
and, from the wording Of the law,
it would seem q man cannot own
mole than one dog. This will
prove hardship on some Of our
local sports.
The publishers of the session laws
have made a serious mistake in
printing the section relating to the
powers of . city in levying d tax.
1t reads that town may levy
more than mills, but don't say
how many The Sentinel people
will have to get out an erratta slip
to correct this law. Anyother
laws found to be Of interest to our
people will be published in these
columns.

How to Spray Trees.

Editor of the Statesmon-It is
now time to make preparations tc
fight the Goblin moth, or apple
worm, by all apple and pear grow
ers. Spraying should begin as
soon as the blossoms fall, spraying
twice at least with London purple,
Paris green or white arsenic and
sal soda. The drug stores and
others have formulas for the above
in the proper proportions.
In addition to the above treat
ment bands should be used. Take
strip of cotton flannel seven or
eight inches wide, long enough to
60 around the tree; double it, with
the frizzle side out; pass it around
the tree and fasten with a tack.
All the rough bark should be scrap
ped off previous to this SO that the
bands will offer the only Kidding
place for the worm to spin his CO.
coon under. The bands should be
put on about three weeks after the
blossoms fall; and, as in the sum
mer time the worm changes to
moth in seven days, the band
should be loosened and the worms
killed every six OF seven days and
kept up until September or Octo-
ber.
We have three broods Of the
worm in this country and | have
found worms going into the apple
from the middle Of May until Octo
ber. The first moth in the spring
lays about 30 eggs. In about four
days the worm is a moth 80 Of
them being females. The second
brood would have 900 and the
third brood $4,000. Every fruit
grower has noticed that there does
not seem to be many worms until
August or September, this being
the time of their greatest increase.
The above remedies will mater
tally decrease the depredations Of
the Goblin moth and if all the
fruit growers will do their duty
wormy apple would be rare. We
could then perhaps ship few car
loads of apples to Michigan and
New York free from worms, as
they did to US last year, though
they have had the Goblin moth for
80 years.

A certain teacher of class in Mission
Sunday school has difficult task impart-
ing scraps of religious instruction to her
young charges, and often amusins an
swers are unconscously returned to ques-
tions which she asks. On one occasion
she asked her pupils:
What do the high priests do2"
And received the reply:
"They burn insects before the people"
But one of the funniest experiences,
which well shows the queer ideas which
the children receive in their lessons, was
given when, after discussion of ship
wreck which followed lesson three or
four weeks previously on the well-known
story of Jonah and the whale, she hap
pened to ask:
Suppose big storm arose at sea and it
looked as though you were going to be

IFE14T T the close of one cold wintry day,
$kR, after Adam and Eve had been
INV driven from the Garden of Eden,
Eve stood alone, gazing sorrowfully at the
snow-clad earth.
Tears welled up in her eyes and deep
sighs escaped from her drawn lips rs she
looked in vain Tor one little flower and
strained her listening ears in the hope
that she might catch the song of one tiny
warbler.
Her heart was filled with regrets for the
green fields of her lost paradise where
flowers so fragrant ever bloomed, and
where songs 1ull of praise ever filled the
balmy air.
Now it happened that an angel flying
past, on some errand of mercy bent, saw
and pitied Eve as she stood in the blind
ing snow, and paused in his graceful fight.
Alighting by her side he asked in tones
full OF compassion:
''Why stand ye here, oh, mortal? and
why those bitter tears?"
Deeply touched by his sympathy she
poured into his gentle ears her tale of
woe.
Instantly his heart as filed with love
most tender.
He caught in his fair right hand tiny
fake of snow as it was eddying past.
Parting his beautiful lips he blew upon
it breath so frelghted with fragrance
that it might have been waited from
Arabia spicy shores.
Then he bade it flower be, that would
bring consolation to the weary hearts of
men wherever it might chance to bloom
in tones so sweet and soft that Eve raised
her reverently bowed head, but, alas, the
angel vision had vanished, and she was
alonel
No, not all alone, for at her feet lay a
beautiful wreath woven of the dainty BIOS
SONS we call snowdrops, Catching it up
she pressed it TO her heaving breast, and
her soul was filled with that peace which
passeth all understanding, and the
precious hope OF immortality which ever
since has burned i'll the hearts of men.

little Edna Coblentz, who proved herself q
blithe companion in their sports and
frolicsome lover of fun, like themselves.
Edna was indeed treasure!
81 am glad 1 have taken her." thought
gentle Mrs. Stivers, while sitting at the
window to watch the little ones play.
''She will be such dear friend for my
boysp
Edna had had strange life for one SO
young; for though only years OF age sne
had been on the stage four long years, act
ing as little Eva in ''Uncle Toms CABIN.
Her little hands and feet and voice had
earned many dollar Tor a delicate, wld-
owed mother, whom God, but few weeks
before, had placed in Paradise.
Through friends Mrs. Stivers had
learned of the child sdestitution and lone
illness, and with the promptngs OF lov-
ing mother she had brought the chlld
home and had made room iuthe woman's s
heart and purse for one more.
The children played ball. tossing it from
one to the other, standing in the shape OF
triangle, until their arms became tired,
and they sought fresh occupation In
game with the doll. This, however. was
not noisy enough for Paul and Gerald, so
Edna suggested a grand game, in when
the express-wagon was to be the stage,
Paul the conductor to take the fares. peb-
bles the tickets Gerald the horse. The doll
and ball passengers, whenever she herself
was not one.
The back steps and the oak tree were the
cities, and the trips between the two were,
IN TACT, remarkable for clatter and chatter.
over the stones they went, bumpety-
bump, and twisted in and out the flower
beds until, bang! they reached the post;
then back again.
Once the horse baked, then reared up
and down, and finally refused outright to
move, all because he had lost shoe.
What pleasure now! Gerald had to be
tied in the blacksmith's shop, while Paul
took hammer and nailed on new shoe.
and Edna stood before him and "whoaed"
and brushed off the imaginary flies with a
switch.
Now, Gerald, I'm thronghr shouted
Paul at last.
"Get up" cried Edna.
''Oh, Edna, don't want to play this
any more" pleaded the frisky horse, II
think we could have ever SO much more
fun telling stories"
"Oh, goody, goody, so do l." she an
swered cheerfully.
"All right, say we do" said Paul, lead
ing the way to the oak trees shade, where
he threw himself down at full length, and
was quickly followed by the others.
II am perfectly willing to talk Gerald;
but | don't want to tell stories," began
Paul, who was an earnest, practical boy
with head and she ulders that indicated
future ability. 81 think it would be much
nicer to tell what we are going to do.'
Eyes, Paul, you always know best So
we will do what you want US to do; and
