'eBear in mind always that Christianity
is not alone gift, but growth Christ
ward; 1t is not a creed or dogma-a phil
osophical phantasm, nor the opinions Of
a sect struggling to gain power over con-
tending sects, and scourging the one in
advance of 1t. Christianity is the sum-
mons of divine love for man to be Christ
like-to emulate the words and the works
to men must know somewhat of the di
vine principle of Jesus life work, and
prove their knowledge of doing as he
bade-'Go and do thou likewise
I'VE know principle only through SCI
ence. The principle of Christ is divine
love, resistless life and truth-then it's
science must be Christ-like, or Christian
Science. More than regal is the majesty
of its meekness; and its might is the
ever-howing tides of truth that sweep
the universe, create and govern it-and
its radiant stores of knowledge-the mys-
teries of exhaustless being. Seek ye
these, till you make their treasures
yours.

ly with the degree of intelligence.
At the present time it is somewhat ar
bitrarily admitted that there is a relation
between the weight of the brain and in
tellectual capacity, Notwithstanding that
the idea encounters contradictory facts
now and then. For instance the brain
of Gambetta was very much below the
average, weighing only 1900 grams.
Mr.. ]. Simms has just collected a number
OF other awkward instances. According
to his researches, the heaviest brain on
record so far is that of a London news
boy, who was rather daft; it weighed 2400
grams. After this comes the brain of
Russian, a poor, ignorant Scandinavian
peasant; weight 2340 grams.
The brain of dwarf Hindoo woman
weighed 2200 grams, which gives her a
superiority of 20 grams over the heaviest
brain of man of intellect that of Toor-
genet, which weighed 2130 grams.
Mr. Simms has found that the brains

"HE weight of the brain varies in
adult and healthy human beings.
Among the white races the average
between the ages of 80 and 40, when
u 1t attains it's maximum develop
ment, is 1858 grams for men and
1856 for women. Placing the weight of
the female brain at 1OO the male brain
would weigh 112, other things being equal.
This difference cannot be ascribed to the
relatively smaller size of women as COM
pared with men. 1t has been shown that
the height of the sexes is as 92.7 for wo-
men to 100 for man, whereas the weight
of her brain is as 900 to 100 The brain
is therefore really lighter in the case of
women. This obtains at all ages.
Tables drawn up by Broca respecting
BAT healthy brains show that this organ
increases up to the age of 40, remains
stationary up to co. and then loses weight.
Beyond the age of go men lost 81 per cent
and women Al per cent of the maximum
weight
The brain increases in proportion to the
vascular activity which proceeds therein.
This explains why the brains Of certain
criminals and mad persons are very vol
luminous. But of all the kinds of activity
that which conforms to the purpose of
the organ appears to be the most effica-
cious. Such is the physiological activ-
ity of which intelligence Is the result.
The weights recorded by many scientists
prove 1t. The brain of the great paleon-
tologist Cuvier, which weighed 1880 grams,
is held to be an argument in itself, and
the same applies to the no less remark
able, though inferior, weight Of the brains
of Abercrombie. Bruce and Dupuytren. 1t
is because women develop less cerebral
activity that their brains are lighter.
All this had led to the conclusion that
the weight of the brain increased with
