The Heaviest Brain.

In German psychological journal
Professor Van Walsem gives short
description OF the heaviest brain on
record. The possessor of this ponder
Gus organ was an epileptic idiot, who
died at the age of twenty-one. He be-
gan to walk at four years of age.',
never attended school, and was re-
ceived in the institution at Meeren-
berg at his fourteepth year. He was
an idiot of low Intelligence and Of
changeable but SooG-humored disposi-
tion. The senses seemed good and the
muscular system well developed He
suffered from epilepsy, during an at
tack of which he died. The brain
weighed $3.50 grains and seemed to
be general enlargement. The cere-
bellum was regular in form. The spi-
nal cord seemed slightly larger than
usual and the spinal I.erves bigger.
On microscopic examination the gang
lion cells of the brain seemed rare,
the layers indistinct, the pyramidal
layer scanty, the nerve-fibres every
where distinct. Neither the cerebral
vessels nor the neuroglia were altered.

TIE MEADOW LARK.

Minstrel of melody,
How shall l chant of thee,
Floating in meadows athrfll with thv
song?
flutinG anear my feet,
Plaintive, and wildly-sweet-
Oh, could thy spirit to mortal belong!
Tell me thy secret art
How thou dost touch the heart,
Hinting of happiness still unpossessed;
Say, doth thy bosom burn
Vainly, as mine. and yearn
Sadly for something that leaves 1t un-
blessed?
Doth not that tender tone,
over the clover blown,
Flow from a sorrow-a longing in vain?
Or, is 1t joy intense,
So like a pang, the sanse
Hears in thy sweetest song something of
pain?

"It's funny" said the DOCTOR a
clean-cut, well-knit specimen of fine
physical manhood, whose clear gray
eyes and square jaw betokened plenty
of grit; Its funny how your first
grizzly takes the nerve out of you.
Two or three years ago 1 went hunt
ing with friend in Colorado. / had
killed some big game myself, and 1
knew that he had killed plenty of it.
But neither of us had killed a grizzly,
and we were each eager for the first
chance.
"One day, when l happened to be
out alone, as l came through a clump
of quaking-asp what should l run
plump up against but big grizzly
busily employed in roofing around in
the dirt after food.
HE hadn't winded me- and there l
stood, just screened by the quaking-
asp almost near enough to touch him
with my gun, while he went ON root
ing, utterly unconscious Of my pres
ence.
"'Now or never l thought, as 1
brought my gun to my shoulder and
carefully sighted for his head. Then
the sights began to wobble and an
ague seemed to seize the gun. I stead
led myself, looked around for conve-
nient tree, and tried again, this time
for the shoulder. Again the gun wob.
bled and l ground my teeth in rage.
The bear lifted his head, seemed to
smSSll something up the wind and
started off at good gait away from
me. We'll, old boy l thought, if I
can't hit you standing 1 can't running
so l let him go. ,.ss-ass5ss,gsi
II felt pretty glum when l came
into camp that night, but didn't say
anything. My friend was cooking
supper and he seemed pretty quiet, too.
After supper we lighted our pipes and
sat by the fire thinking.
"'What's the matter, old man?
What are you so still about?' finally
he asked
80, nothing said, trying to seem
cheerful.
Ibid you see bear?' he persisted
"'Yes, hang it, l did, 1 answered,
doggedly.
"'Well, SO did L. he said, and the
incident was closed.
1--WE each got our bear afterward,
however, so the disease didn't prove
fatal"

from 1895 to 1899 only 30 per cent were

were from the middle Atlantic states.

1t is also striking fact that a large

Crusade Against English Sparrows

Rufus Hendrick of Wakefield about
a year ago began crusade against
the English sparrows of that town,
and through the cooperation Of boys
with guns he has managed to destroy
5000 birds and $500 eggs. He began
with $50, raised by subscription, and
offered the boys cents for each bird
killed and 81 per hundred for eggs
taken from the nests. His fund was
soon exhausted, but he succeeded in
raising more money.-Boston Tran

But, thou most lowly Thing,
Teach me to keep my wing
Close to the breast of our Mother, the

Soon shall my fleeting lay
Fade from the world away
Thine, ever-during, shall thrill through

Love, who once gladdened me,
Surely hath saddened thee
Half of thy music is made of his tears!

usually slips in by the back door. Re-

Wonan's Thrilling Feat.

Nome advices say that Mrs Hewitt,
wife of DR.. Hewitt, n Chicago physi-
clan, alone foated down the myste-
rious Koyukuk River, a distance of
100 miles, on an improvised log raft.
Two years ago she left Chicago to
join her husband in Nome. At Daw-
son she met DR., Carothers. of Pitts.
burg, a friend of her husband, and
with him arranged to go down the
river on the ice. When they reached
Fort Hamilton they heard of rich pla-
Ger strikes at the head of the Koyukuk
River. They with their party ar
ranged to strike across hundreds of
miles of barren Wilderness.
After thirty days of travelling they
reached the Koyukuk, but found the
ice still fast. Mrs. Hewitt started
out with a dog team for q short trip
up the branch of the river but in
making the turns to the main river
she got lost.
For hours and hours she urged the

Until nearly the first of June last
year she remained alone in the wilder
ness of snow and ice. When the June
sun succeeded in breaking up the
river she made raft out of pieces of
logs. With a stock of moose meat she
started down the river on 75O-mile
trip. Once the raft struck a sand bar
and she was thrown into the water.
After twenty-six days of peril and

Sionaries III hongkonS, Cnlna,
dated early in July, tell Of
the marvellous escape of
Father Frdella from the Boxers.
Father Fridella's charge was in
Hen Sien Flu, in Southern Human. Be-
fore he escaped the Italian Bishop,
three priests, 700 native converts, in.
Guiding women and children, had
been fiendishly tortured and murdered.
To a resident of Gun Flu, whose son
he had treated when critically ILL,
Father Fridella owes his life. The
Chinaman visited and fed him while
he was in hiding in the hill north of
the town. When the excitement had
subsided somewhat the Chinaman as.
sisted Father Fridella to the river and
hid him aboard junk Strategy was
needed to effect the escape.
Father Fridella was hidden in a
Chinese coffin. Holes were bored in
the side to give him air. Food was
stored in the coffin for his use. The
coffin was placed ON deck.
All went weIl for two days. On the
third day Father Fridella overheard
the sailors discuss a proposition to
break open the coffin in the hope that
valuables might be buried with the
body. Father Fridella, although bad
ly frightened, made no outcry. That
night the coffin was broken open. The
Chinese sailors were at first as badly
frightened as the priest. At first they
wanted to kill him because he was a
foreigner but through an offer of Il
reward his life was spared and Father
Fridella returned to his coffin.
AS the junk fioated down the river
he heard the Boxers on the bank call
ing death to the foreign devils!"
Thus he Travelled for seventeen days
down the Slang Kiang and the WI
Ling kiang to the West River. For
hours on the journey Father Fridella
was unconscious; all hope failed him,
and he was really Indifferent to his
fate. First he had avoided sleep
later he knew not whether he was
asleep or awake, whether the half-clad
Orientals about him were men or
merely fgments of his disordered i'm
agination, while through it all terri
Bile pains racked his body.
At last the junk reached Hongkong,
and more dead than alive Father Fri.
della was released. --,------.l --.rrr--

Manuel Correa's Hack Smashed BY
His Horse Running Away.

Manuel Correa's hack number 81 of
113 hack stand was demolished on Sat
urday afternoon at 3 o'clock in front
of the Royal Annex Saloon on Mer-
chant street. The hack and horse were
in their places in the line at the stand
just before o'clock when an automo-
bile came along Merchant street to-
ward Fort. Correa's horse snorted In
fright at the apparition of a vehicle
moving along grunting and putting,
and without a horse before 1t.
He gave a snort and started on a
dead run across Fort street and down
Merchant street toward the police sta
ton. At the Royal Annex Saloon the
animal turned toward the curbing.
The impact was so sudden that both
horse and hack were overturned. The
animal turned a complete somersault
and by the time he had stopped STUN
bling and sliding he ended up In the
alley below Lovejoy's place on Nuuanu
street. The entire top of the hack was
crushed in. together with the tenders
lamps and seats. The running gear
was not hurt to any extent. The police
say the horse dashed by the station
like a streak OF lightning.

will be found Kang Yu Wal and Leung
Chi-Tso and the other leaders Of the
Bow Wongs.
On the Picking on Friday the China
mails brought the local Bow Wongs
much tidings of the condition CT affairs
in China. Among other interesting
documents Is said to have been one
from the reformers addressed to Leung
Chi-Tso. II was in cipher and could
not be read by the friends Of the re-
former here so II will be forwarded to
him at his address in Yokohama.
| Leading Bow wongs in Honolulu are
the authority for the statement that
the reformers are fomenting a rebel
lion in the south to be directed against
the northern provinces. In the soutf
the Boxers have thus far made little
