Something About the Men Who Win EaE-
lands Battles In India.
The Gurkhas, TO whose valor we owe
90 much on the Indian frontier, are
not afraid of death ia any shape or
form. have the instinct of instant and
unquestioning obedience to orders
from superiors, and take an actual and
physical delight in fighting. II is a
popular error to suppose that they are
without caste. There are about thir-
teen different castles among them, and
several subdivision in each caste. But
when serving in British regiments and
while on n campaign, Gurkhas do not
allow their caste system TO interfere
with their comforts, and will eat and
drink freely with Europeans and
among themselves. They have no OBJ
lection 10 taking a pull at a British
soldiers flask. and will share "chs-
patti" with the most mental campbell
lower. They will gladly take a cigar
or tobacco from n European, but on no
account must a man of one caste smoke
in the company of another.
All Gurkhas trace their descent from
the Raiputs, of Central India, the
Thappas and Gurungs especially claim
ing to have the bluest Hindu blood in
India running in their veins. They
have. however. intermarried for gem
erations with Monaghan women.
Gurkhas have one physical peculiar
ity. Their stature is below the aver

care, never attain luxuriant growth,

The colonel OF distinguis shed regi-

who had travelled a long distance to
get glimpse Of the terrible soldiers
that had defeated his countrymen.
When he saw the little boyish-looking
Gurkhas standing guard at the Bala

Grain Weight and Genit4..

Some interesting facts bearing on the
size and weight fof the brain were
given recently by Sir William Turner.
In the case OF Europeans the average
brain weight is from forty-nine to fifty
ounces in man and from forty-four 10
forty-five ounces in woman. It is in
teresting to note that even in newborn
children the boys have bigger heads
and heavier brains than the girls. The
brains of number of men Of ability
and intellectual distinction have been
weighed and ascertained 70 be from
fifty-fve 10 sixty ounces. In a few ex
ceptIonal cases, as in the brains of Gu
vier and DIR. Abercrombie, the weight
has been more than sixty ounces, but
it should also be stated that brains
weighing sixty ounces and upward
have occasionally been obtained from
persons who had shown no sign of in
tellectual eminence. On the other
hand, it has been pointed out that If
the brain falls below certain weight
it cannot properly discharge its
functions. This minimum weight for
civilized people experts have placed at
thirty-seven ounces for men and thir-
ty-two ounces for women.

In an interesting article on the
areas Of disease the London Saturday
Review remarks upon the consensus
Of medical opinion that diseases in
general have their local habitations-
some, like tropical animals aud plants,
living only in the tropics; some, like
consumption, gradually spreading
over the whole earth, while others,
like lsprosy and smallpox, are by de-
grees becoming limited in their dis
tribu;ion, possibly tending, II may be,
toward extinction. On the other
hand, however, there are regions 10
which diseases have never reached,
for instance, on the SUBMITS Of high
mountain ranges and ia tie circnm-
polar snowfeids Of the earth and air
and water are a. barren Of the mi
crobes 81 disease az they are Of animal
life. The writer IN the Review ad-
mits that Ia a country like Britain,
thickly populated for many centuries,
and with the freest circulation of popu-
lation, IL cannot be doubted that every
yard OF surface contains the germs OF
the more common diseases, and the
native Of some newer land, brought
over 20 Britain's shores, falls victim
TO its plague-stricken soil; but by gen.
erations Of destructive elimination
Britons have become highly restraint
| TO their native diseases--yet not fully

the most comEnon scourges, still hold
