The "Gray Matter"

The--riter has examined many brains
of persons morally or intellectually be-
low the average--such as murderers,
negroes and others sunk in ignorance.
He has invariably found the layer of
vascular, or gray matter, to be thicker
than that of Daniel Webster's brain
Elephants, porpoises, whales, dolphins
and the grampus all have this layer
thicker than the most intellectual men.
Another great objection to locating
mind in the gray matter of the brain is
that this substance is found in the in
terror part of the spinal cord and in all
the nerve centers throughout the body
So that, if mind is situated in it, it is
not confined to the brain, but dwells in
the spine also, and is distributed all
through the human frame
Still another objection lies in the fact
that wherever the gray matter exists
near the surface of the brain it consists
of three distinct layers, separated by a
white substance, and the outermost lay
er is white, not gray. DIR. Joseph
Simms in Popular Science Monthly.

Santiago Still Excited.

SANTIAGO, Jan. 9.-Senor Bacardi, the
mayor Of Santiago, is cabling to Ha-
vana each day regarding the situation,
explaining that the local excitement
growing out of the proposal of the
United States authorities to concentrate
the customs receipts at Havana, is not
allayed and that the people want pre-.
vincial and municipal autonomy. 1t is
understood that General Wood, gov,
ernor of Santiago, with General Cas-,
tillo, will reach the United States on CT
before Tuesday next and arrangements
have been made for a special cable ser.
vice to inform the people here as to de.
velopments after General Woods az,

lel Ray reports from Guantanamo that
- Cuban major short time ago took tC
the woods with several of his men, be-
came bandit and killed five men. The
entire band has been captured and will
be put on trial.

Hens That Eat Their own Eggs.

AS rule, when hens have suitable
food they don't eat their own eggs.
To preserve eggs from being eaten IN
der exceptional conditions there are a
number of devices. There is, for in
stance, nest with bottom of woven
wire with mesh big enough to let an
egg through. The egg goes through the
thin layer of hay with which the nest
is lined and through the wide meshed
bottom TO fall safely in bed of hay un.
derneath.
Another device is automatic and set
in operation by the chicken itself when
it steps off the nest Thus relieved of
the chickens weight, the nest tits up
enough to roll the egg off into place of
safety made for its reception.
Chickens are commonly carried on
deep water ships on long voyages to sup.
ply eggs for the captains table and &C.
casionally fowl. Chickens at sea are
more likely to eat their own eggs than
they are ashore. To prevent this among
the chickens carried on his vessel the
captain Of an American ship rugged a
contrivanoe that answered the purpose
and was adapted to the situation. He
attached to the underside of the nest a
shoote by which the egg when laid was
carried safely down to box below. -

The Death of Carlyle.

Uncle had not been considered seri,
ously i'll more than about fortnight OF
so before the end, writes Carlyle's
nephew, John G. Aitken, in The Allan
tic. The vital spark of life toward the
last days kept Pickering in a way SO ex-
traordinary that the doctor declared he
had never met such tenacity of life and
vitality in the whole course of his varied
London and other experience. Dear
uncle, the good, true and noble old man
that he was really suffered little in the
way of pain for some weeks before his
death, which was itself little more than
gentle Pickering sleep, ending in a
scarcely beard last sigh of sound.
While lying in oomatose or uncon-
soious state his mind seemed to wander
back to old Annandale memories of his
ever loved ones and their surroundings
his mother holding her supreme seat,
surrounded by a trooping throng of once
familiar faces not very greatly less dear
to him. He died full of years, with all
his weary task of worlds work well
and nobly done, and leaves no mortal
behind him who does not love and rev.
Asrence his life and memory.

Black Sea Water Is Poison.

The explorations of the Russian
scientist Andrussow have established
q very curious fact. The Black sea,
which in some parts has a depth Of
more than $500 feet, is poisoned by
sulphureted hydrogen wherever the
water is deeper than 1900 feet. This
accounts for the curious fact that there
is no organic life below that depth, ex-
cepting perhaps some bacteria of very
low order, impregnated with sulphur.
The causes for this phenomenon are ex-
planned by the quick outflow of the
fresh water through the Bosporous,
while salt water coming from the Med
iterranean enters through deeper cur
rent into the depths of the Black sea.
The waters on the surface are, theree
fore, controlled absolutely by horizontal
currents of. considerable force, and YER
tical currents which might carry the
noxious gases from the bottom to the
surface and fresh oxygen from the sur
face to the bottom are hardly ever no.
ticeable. The water at great depths is
now so saturated with sulphuric gas by
the disintegration of organic matter
sinking to the bottom by reason Of its
weight that no fish or other living be-
ing which needs oxygen for its organic
system can exist beyond stated depth.

The Marrying Age.

At what age do people marry? The
most popular time for woman to get
married is from her twenty-frst to her
twenty fifth year inclusive. More than
one-half Of the women who marry at
all marry in these five years of their
life, and another quarter marry between
the ages of 20 and 80, and not more
than third between the ages of 25 and
80. The average age Of marrying is just
over 26 for women and just under 20
for men. These figures include remar-
riages. For spinsters only the average
age Is 25, and for bachelors 26h.
1t is noticeable fact that in the last
ten years the average age Of marrying
has, for men and women alike, gone up
half a year Taking the complete quar-
tiers ending on the last days Of March,
June, September and December respec-
lively, the December quarter is most
prolific in marriages, and the spring
and summer quarters come next, about
equal, with the March quarter long
way behind. New York Home Journal

Available Testimony.

The following story was told by Ma

appeared for the defendant in trial by
jury and put ON the witness stand boy
from whose testimony he expected to
gain great deal TO the confusion of
the attorney, the story told by the boy
was greatly to the detriment of the de-
PENDANT, and the attorney set to work to
show that the boy was worthless /"
"What is your occupationr" he asked
the boy.
II work on my fathers farm. tho
witness replied.
"You don't do much but sit around.
do you?"
well, help my father.

was the attorneys decisive question.
II don't know whether am or not.
retorted the witness warmly.
Then the attorney took another tack.
"Your fathers a worthless man, isn't
hep
"Well, he works about the farm"
The attorney here fastened an eye
which cleaned with triumph on the
jury and nailed the boy with glance
from the other and said, "Isn't 1t true
that your father doesn' q do enough work
to prevent his being called worthless?"
The boy had chafed under these un.
pleasant questions, and. summoning his
courage, he said loudly: IF you want
to know so bad whether my fathers
worthless, ask him. There he Is on the

Charles Meryon-born in lS2l--was
brought up to the navy, going first in
1897 to the Naval school at Brest. As d
youth he sailed ronnd the world. He
touched at Athens; touched at the then
savage coasts of New Zealand; made
sketches, few of which, in days when
his greater work was most of it done, ne
used as material for some of his etch-
ings. Art even then occupied him, and
deeply interested as he soon got to be in
it he seems to have had notion that it
was less dignified than the profession Of
the navy, ard after awhile he chose de-
liberately the less observation-disclosures it
was the less dignified. He would have us
believe so at any rate. He wished his
father to believe so. And in lS45, hav-
ing served creditably and become a
lieutenant, he resigned his commission.
A painter he could not be, The gods,
who had given him even in his youth q
poetic vision and a firmness of hand,
had denied him the true sight of color,
and remember seeing hanging up in
the salon of M. Burty, who knew him,
large impressive pastel of ship cleav-
ing her way through wide, deep waters,
and the sea was red and the sunset sky
was green; for Meryon was color blind.
He would have to be an engraver. He
entered the workroom of one M. Blery,
to whom in after times, as his won't
was, he engraved some verses of his
writing-appreciative verses, sincere
and unfinished-"a tot Blery, mon
maitre. THE etchings of Zeeman. the
Dutchman, gave him the desire to etch.
He copied with freedom and interest
several of Zeeman's neat little plates
and addressed him with praises, on an
other little copper, like the one to

"POIv Cocktails.

Every visitor to Hawaii is expected
to become acquainted with poi" the
Kanaka's staff OF life. The taste for
this national dish is undoubtedly ac-
quired, and even after many trials Of
ten fails to come at all. This thick,
pastelike mixture Is made from the taro
plant (Colocasia antiquorum), from
which originates the poi" cocktail.
In name it is quite as deceiving as the
"oyster" cocktail, and those desiring
it merely for the name are sadly dis
appointed on finding that the only nq-
uid it contains is milk.
The poi" cocktail is prepared by
diluting the paste with mill, then add
ing sugar or salt and serving ice cold.
This drink is found very beneficial to
dyspeptics and those recovering from
fever. --Leslie's Weekly.

Washington's Farewell to His ON.

On Dec. A the officers of the army
met in Fraunce's tavern to bid their
chief farewell Washington, as he rose
and faced them, could not control his
voice. He lifted glass of wine and
said, with a heart full of love and
gratitude, now take my leave of you,
most deyoutly wishing that your latter
days may be as prosperous and happy
as your former ones have been glorious
and honorable. They drank in silence,
and Washington said, II cannot come
to each of you and take my leave, but
shall be obliged if you will come and
take me by the hand" Up they came,
one by one, and one by one Washing
ton, his eyes filled with tears, embraced
them and said farewell. From the tav.
ern they followed him to the ferry,
where he entered his barge. As the boat
moved away he rose and lifted his hat.
His officers returned the salute in ST.
