Brain Theories.

From the New York Tribune.
One Of the best-known anatomists, DR..
George NJ. Kellogg, is quoted as advocat-
ing the theory that the brain, like the
eyes. ears, hands, etc., Is double organ
in fact, that man has two brains, the great
er number Of nerves leading from each half
of the brain to the half Of the body which
they govern, and crossing before connect
Ing with the body, and only about one
tenth Of the nerves which come from each
spending side of the body. All mammals,
1t Is remarked, are made up of paired or
gans, nerves, muscles and limbs, each side
being a duplicate of the other in structure,
function and form, except that they are
reversals of each other. Man alone, as q
result of habit, uses the right side of his
body in preference to the left and this has
tended to make the left hemisphere of the
brain predominant. When movement is
made the brain records it, and there is
slight change in development. II the
nerves running to one-half Of the brain are
but little used they do not act voluntarily
and the left side Of the brain soon becomes
anxious to do all the work. Frequently,
too, persons injured over the third left
frontal area Of the brain have become
mutes, and then been educated to speak
by training the right brain. DIR. Kellogg
desires a race with two perfect hands and
q double brain, BEAUTIFULLY responsive, each
to each, through those exquisite conduct
ors. the nerves, and argues that children
should be taught to use both sides Of the
body equally from earliest infancy.

Peculiar Wills.

while several lawyer friends of mine
were gathered In a hotel corridor during
circuit court in a Pennyrile town, six or
seven years ago, heard of some of the
oldest Wills that were ever drawn" said an
old court stenographer the other day.
Judge Tom Farrell said he was called on
once to witness will, which read: Give
my all to my wife-Jones.' L had a last
testament offered for probate in my court ,
said an ex-county judge, who was then
practicing law, which beat the judges for
brevity. 1t contained four words and en-
bodied this terse behest: Betsy gets nv
farm" The farm being the deceased's only
earthly goods, he had told the whole story
This reminded Albert Poster, a visiting
lawyer, Of a will which he once saw writ
ten on a postal card. Another member of
the party reminiscent said he saw will.

in county clerk $ office in the Purchase.
Of which ST. Louis paper contained q
lengthy description, fifteen or twenty years
before A confederate soldier had written
his will on the Inside of paper collar as
he lay dying on the field of battle in Ten
nessee, and 1t was this blood-dyed bel1est
that he saw as a. part Of the county record.
But the most unique will Of them all was
one mentioned BY q lawyer who had been
counsel for the children who tried to break
the will. It was written by an eccentric old
farmer in his own way on the margin of q
newspaper which had been pinned to the
inside Of bolster slip.
