The Tailored Shirt waists.

The tailored shirt waist is quite the
most stunning Of the styles present
ed; it is as often of silk as wool fab
ric. Fleece-lined piques are also
popular. The fronts, of these waists
are quite fancy regardless of the tailor
cut of collar, cuffs and back. The
fluffy front has been discarded for the
strips of silk embroidery-that is, silk
on wool or fancy ribbon, which latter
trimming is the handsomest. 81.

A well-known scientist has been
making Investigations into the weight
of the brain in relation to intelli-
gence, and has discovered that the
brains of sixty intellectual persons
weighed on an average 200 grammes
less than ten brains of idiots and five
brains of persons Of defective intel
lect. He consequently refuses to ad'
NIT any real relationship between in
telligence and the bulk OF the brain.
Edward Blake gives the result OF
his observation of the growth of fin
ger-nails. At 81 years of age the nail
was replaced in 1875 days. at 81 years
in 159 days, at 80 years ia s8 days, OF
55 years in 10, at 81 years in LA
days. Thi, great irregularity was
due to the various stages of health Of
the subjects. The growth of the nail
was found to be q valuable indication
of the progress Of different kinds of
paralysis.
The theory that the vermiform ap-
pendix is a useless rudimentary organ
is hardly convincing. A late writer,
DR.. Slaughter, contends that it has
q useful function in secretipg mucus
to lubricate the lower intestines, and
that Inflammation from obstruction OF
this mucus is the chief exciting cause
of appendicitis, less severe. form Of
the disease being due to impaired cir
culation in the appendix. Most cases
of appendicitis known to this physi-
clan have recovered without operation
or recurrence.
