A Study of Brains,

And now a scientist stands ready
to prove to us that the weight of the
brain bears little or no relation to the
ability of the possessor. The brains
of two idiots weighed respectively SIS
and 59.5 ounces while those of Gem
beta weighed less than that of the av-
erage boy of seven. A weak-minded
man had brain Weighing 7O.5, while
-dwarfed Indian squaw possessed one
CT 7o.6 ounces.
To the present generation these
statements may be more or lessmatters
OF indifference, but the writer of this
paragraph remembers when one of the
greatest arguments used against the
higher education of women was based
on the fact that their brains weighed
less tLan those of men, A brain of
little weight was not considered worth
cultivatlng. Its very lightness proved
1t to be aunedual to the physical task
of acquiring knowledge mastered by
men whose brdins weighed more. 1t
was like expecting puny muscles to
perform the feats of athletic giants.
1--ese arguments were considered
unanswerable in their day Every
sceptical and fortunate young man
quoted them to every ambitious and
hampered young woman. They meant
alas, the self-depreciation of many
woman who gave up the struggle.
And possibly 1t is just because the val
liant promoters of higher education
made no attempt to answer them, but
went quietly and silently to work
along the lines of their own beliefs,
doing without argument the things
which their opponents were arguing so
ably against, that women of today en-
joy manifold privileges denied to their
elders Everything and nothing can be
proved by argument; the ,unanswer-
able fact lies alone n Accomplishments.
The heaviest brains are found in
cold northern countries, the highest
average is obtained in Scotland so that
between the weight of the brain and
the question of nationality very de-
cided relation may be said TO exist.
The little woman in Grandlsslmes, In
her invarlable argument. may have
been right. the chief cause for differ
ence in brains lying where she In her
pretty speech placed the cause for ey-
cry change OF social conditIon--in "de
climate. "-Harper's Bazar.

The Boston Lyric Opera Company.

An opera company, new to Toledo,
made its initial appearance at the Peo-
pies last night and made an instant
and emphatic success. The Boston
Lyric company is large, efficient and
does its work exceedingly we'll.
Richard Stahl's Said Pasha was the
opera selected to Introduce the comp
any to Toledo. 1t has been given here
so often that it is unnecessary at this
time to describe its many admirable
features. OF the manner of its pre-
sentation nothing but good can be
written.
A great deal of its success was due
to the efforts of Miss josephine Staun-
ton, beautiful young woman who
sings with great expression and acts
with fine feeling and intelligence. She
was an excellent Serena, the Pasha's
daughter, and at once established her
self in the esteem OF her audience.
hassan Bey was sung by Mr.. George
Oml, whose fine stage presence added
to the good effect produced by his rich,
we'll modulated voice. He will be one
OF the strong favorites during the
weeks engagement.
Mr.. Richard Jones, as Said Pasha
and Mr. Harry Hallman, as Terand
were both in good voice and sang their
parts most acceptably.
Altl, the Queen, was entrusted to
Miss Beatrice Gordon, who did it full
justice.
The comedy element was furnished
by Mr.. Robert Lett and Mr. Jack
Henderson, both of whom kept the au-
dielce in a constant laughter at their
drolleries. Their fun making was
spontaneous and devoid of offensive
horseplay. f,.
The chorus was large and fairly well
trained, though there was one large
lunged tenor on the left who might
have been restrained to good 'advant-
age. The opera was splendidly cos
tuned and was more than well sung.
The work OF principals and chorus will
compare most favorably with that of
mrch more pretentious companies; in
fact, 1t is far above the average The
Lyrics should have large audiences
all the week. They certainly deserve
such ccognition.-Toledo Daily Blade.

SAMPSON OR sCnLEY.


When the Spanish fleet, with full head
way,
Dashed out of Santiago Bay,
Taking the chances of death and
wreck,
Who stood on a Yankee quarterback,
And marked the game with eagle eye;
Say, was 1t Sampson or was it Schley?
Who was il, when shot and screaming
shell
Turned Sabbath calm into echOlng hell
Steamed into the thickest of the fray,
His good ship leading all the way,
While the roar of his guns shook
earth and sky;
Say, was 1t Sampson or was it Sehley?
In American hearts who holds first
place,
OF those vino took part in that glor-
ious chase?
Whose name stood out on that proud
day r
AS the hero Of Santiago Bay2
In letters of gold write that name on
high;
Shall we write it Sampson or write it
Sehley?
The above is a poem presumably
written by coneressman Berry, and
was read By that gentleman on the
aoor Of the House Friday. "a

10 any one WHO has any SApoii
in selling railroad tickets or insurance
tickets 1t is easily understood why the
century that begins with 1901 is called
the nineteenth. -.- .,s-
To those who are not famaliar with
commencing and closing numbers, 1t
would perhaps be better to make de-
tailed explanation of why this cen
tury is called the nineteenth and why
it is not the eighteenth, as some peo-
pie would naturally suppose 1t to be
because 1t begins with the year 1901.
In the first place, 1t is necessary to
understand that something cannot be
called nothing in mathematical calcu-
lations; therefore, it becomes neces-
sary to call the century beginning with
the year / the first century Therefore
the first century in order to be COM
plete had to last one full hundred
years, or to the end of the year 100.
Thus. when the first century was COM
pleted the second began and as a mat
ter OF course the year 100 having been
completed with the ending of the first
century the next year would have to be
the first year of the second century.
Thus the whole series of years from
1O1 to 200, inclusive, would be the sec
ond century; the serieSSof years from
POI to 300, inclusive, would make the
fourth; the series from 401 to 500, in
elusive, the fifth; the series from SOL
to 600, inclusive, the sixth; the series
from COL to 700, inclusive, the seventh;
the series from 701 to 800, inclusive,
the eighth; the series from SO1 to 900,
inclusive, the ninth; the series from
90l TO 1000, inclusive, the tenth; tn,
series from 1901 to 100, inclusive, the
eleventh; the series from 1101 to 1900,
inclusive, the twelfth; the series from
1901 to 1900, inclusive, the thirteenth;
the series from 1901 to 1400, inclusive,
the fourteenth; the series from 1401 to
1900, inclusive, the fifteenth; the ser
les from 1901 to 1900, inclusive, the
sixteenth; the series from 1901 to 1900,
inclusive, the seventeenth; the series
from 1901 to 1900, inclusive, the eigh-
teenth; the series from 1901 to 1900, in
elusive, the nineteenth. And now we
see that the nineteenth century will
close with the year 1900 and the twen-
tieth begin with the year 1901.

Spain is About to Send Another
Minister Here.

It is currently reported today in dip
lomatic circles that soon after the rat
ification of the treaty of Paris by the
United States Senate Spain will ap-
point Senior Manuel de murgurGa as
Minister to Washington. oenor Muir
gurpa occupied the post as Minister to
the United States for some years prior
TO the coming of Senor Depuy de LONE
He was popular and discreet during
his residence here. 1t Is argued that
Senior Polo y Barnabe, who succeeded
de LONE, but whose stay in Washing
ton was cut short by the declaration OF
war, would not like to return to the
post here, owing to the unpleasant as
sociations of his departure. While he
would be received, no doubt, by the
United States the same as any other
Minister, and as if there had been no
unpleasantries between his country
and the United States, and at the same
time be welcomed by the members of
the Diplomatic Uorps in Washington,
yet, nevertheless, the situation is a
delicate one, and especially SO to Sen
or Polo, and one wAlch he desires to
avoid. 1t is stated that the entire per-
sonnel of the legation in Washington
will be changed from what it was at
tbe time of the departure of Senor
Polo at the outbreak of the war. 1t is
probable that the naval attache will be
one OF the officers of Admiral Cerveras
fleet, who was held as a prisoner at
Annapolis, but no names are men

When dogwood brightens the groves of

And the gold of the jasmine CLEANS.
When mating birds in the forest sing,
All! that is the time for dreams,
For thoughts of love that are always
Thoughts old as the ancient world
Forever fresh as the May-time dew
In the breast of the rose impearled
When timid green on the thorn tres

Like love at the verge of hate
And air from the apple orchard flows
Through the springtide's open gate;
When drowsy winds Ger the lilies pass,
And the wings of the thrush are shy;
When violets bloom in the newborn
grass,
With the tints of a tropic sky;
When jonquils burrow the suns warm

And the woodbine lures the bee:
When the heart that was once a wait
and stray
Returns like ship from sea

portant to have his question settled than
that 1t should be decided with tschni al
accuracy, and that therefore the prece-
dent recently reaffirmed in the Mantle
case be followed.
1t will be seen that IL precedents are
followed there Is little chance that Mr.
Quay or any one who may be appointed
by the governor of any OF the other states
VIII be seated. but should applicants APP
pear from all four states there would be
an oportnity for log rolling and wire pull
Ing which. taken in connection with the
TACT that many senators believe the pre-
yious action of the senate to have been
unconstitutional, might result in their be-
ing seated.
REPUBLICAN CONTROL CERTAIN.
Republican control OF the senate will
not be endangered by the failure of the
legislatures of these four states to elect
senators. although the Republicans lose
three seats and the Democrats only one.
Without counting Senator Kyle, of South
Dakota, who calls himself an independ-
ent. but who generally acts with the Re
publicans when his vote is wanted, the
Republican majority in the senate is
eighteen over all opposition. Had sena-
tors been elected from the four states In
question. the Republican majority would
have been twenty.
Prospects are that If the senate refus-
es to seat Mr.. Quay and the men who
may be appointed from other states, all
four vacancies will remain until new leg
islatures ar Q elected In the respective
states. In Pennsylvania, Delaware and
California the Republican majorities were
divided into factions which could not be
prevailed upon to unite upon any one
candidate. and I'm Utah the Democratic
majority was divided in the same way

sessions of the legislatures should DE call
