BRAIN AND INTELLECT.
The Highest Authorities LOcaIize
"Mind'' in the PrefOntqI LObes
of the Brain.

The exact seat in the brain of the
highest intellectual faculties has
formed a moot point in science since
the functions of the organ of mind be.
gan to be investigated with accuracy.
The general consensus of opinion To-
calizes what we term mind in the
prefrontal lobes of the brain, but by
another school of thinkers the hinder
lobes have been credited with per-
forming our highest cerebral duties.
The balance of evidence, should say,
is decidedly in favor of the former
view, and recent researches and obser-
vations by DR.. Phelps, an American in
vestigator, would appear to assist in
strengthening the opinion that the
most important portion of the brain
is its anterior region. In the course
of the Investigations in question some
eos cases of brain injury and disease
were examined. In all save two it was
noted that interference of extensive
nature with the prefrontal region re-
suited in serious disturbance of the
mental faculties. Less severe injury
produced less marked effects. These
facts parallel the researches of other
Investigators, and they are further
cases of idiocy connected with want
of development of the frontal lobes of
The brain.
AS to the relative Importance of the
two lobes or halves of the cerebrum,
or chief brain mass, most of us know
that each half governs the opposite
side of the body, and that, as we are
right-handed, so we may be called left
Drained The superiority in functional
Importance of our left brain is not
questioned, and it is therefore inter
asting to find DR.. Phelps insisting,
from the results of his Investigations,
that our left brain lobe is really the
intellectual half. The right half, it
is added, is capable of sustaining Sc
we're injury without marked mental Of
fects supervening, and cases are
quoted in support of this fact. Indeed,
such cases have frequently puzzled
Psychologists, seeing that the disturb
ance of the intellect has in no sense
been commensurate with the injury
to the brain. On the notion of the
greater Importance of our left brain,
and on the theory that severe injuries
which do not produce utter mental
breakdown really involve the right
lobe, the puzzling constitution of the
brain may be explained in part at
least. But the last word has not yet
been said concerning the brains ways
and work Injuries of the left half do
not always produce serious effects as

CLEANLINESS IN sIcKRo0M.
Sweeping, busting and DarIzening
Are Not the Only Essentials TO
Comfort and Health.

The idea of cleanliness possessed by
the average housekeeper and the
proper hygiene of the sick room are
two very different things.
When the sick chamber has been
swept, busted and darkened, many an
inexperienced nurse thinks her duty
ended, forgetting that sunshine, fresh
air and numberless other precautions
are indispensable, says the Home
Magazine. A house may be filthy
when there is not a pile of dirt in
sight. Carpets filled with dust, I'M
cleaned furniture and soiled paper are
as great sources of impurity to the
air as a refuse heap in the cellar.
When it is possible do not use carpet
on the sick room. Always select a
room that the sun shines on in prefer
ence to a shady one for the sick, and
if the bed can be so placed that por-
ton of the sky is visible, it will be
all the better. Statistics in hospitals
show that all other things being equal,
there are fewer deaths and patients
recover more rapidly on the sunny side
than on the shady side of the building.
1t is absolutely necessary that fresh
air be admitted into the room, but in
this particular it is best to consult
the physician, as caution must be used
to avoid chilling the patient. \ low
bed with one thin, comfortable mat
tress and light cover is best for the
sick, as a great deal of moisture is
thrown off from the body, and where
feathers and heavy bedding are used
they cannot be properly aired and
dried.
No chamber utensil without a lid
should be used in bedroom. whether
for sick or well. One may easily be
convinced of the necessity of this rule
by examining the under side of the
| lid. Whenever the vessel is not empty
it will be found covered with offensive,
condensed moisture. But even where
a covered utensil is used it should never
be left in the sick room unemptied,
nor should the contents be -10ured
into an open pail. Make it a rule to
take the utensiI to the closet and
empty it just as soon as used, then
wash thoroughly before returning it
to the sick room with cold water, to
which has been added powdered borax.
Do not keep any medicine or food
| in the sick. room, many object to flow
ers, but they are not really injurious
unless the odor of certain kinds as
| lilies, hyacinths, etc, are unpleasant
| to the individual.

Catholic Priests His Victims.

A stranger, claiming to be from
Cincinnati, has been working a clever
swindlng scheme on a number of
Catholic priests in central Kansas.
He represents himself to be lawyer,
in whose care has been left a legacy
to several Catholic churches in this
state, the donor being a Cincinnati
woman, formerly resident of Kan
sas. Mr.. Stranger carries the check
in his pocket, which is turned over
to the priest on the payment of the
attorneys fee Of SIS. So smooth is
his scheme that every man he sees.
even though he does not accept the
check, feels as though ne should, for
his story is very plausible one.
AT Hays City the priest in charge
of the parish paid the SIS and ac-
cepted the check for $500, which he
had cashed at the local bank, but
which the priest was later informed
was no good, and that, besides losing
the SIS, he would also be compelled
to pay the protest fees. The people
are warned to be on the lookout for
this fellow, who is a man apparently
so years of age.
