THE HUMAN BRAIN.
1t Can Be Entirely Shattered With
out Fatal Results Ensuing.

out Fatal Results Ensuing.
What the human brain will bear has
frequently furnished an interesting
study for the surgeons. During the
South African war many wonderful
cases were reported of recovery from
bullet wounds under circumstances
which at an earlier date would have
had a very different ending. Such re-
coveries were due in very large meas
ure to the difference in the character
Of the projectile itself as compared with
those of previous wars, and also to
the progress made by modern surgery.
A case as now reported by DR.. Theo-
dore Diller, in the Journal of Nervous
and Mental Disease, is chiefly remark
able, however, in showing the extent
of injury which may be tolerated by
so sensitive an organ as the brain, says
the New York Herald.
The case was that of a boy who, ae
the age OF Is, was wounded by bull
let, which entered just above the mid
die of the right eyebrow, and made
its exit five millimeters TO The left Of
the occipital protuberance. Uncon-
sciousness followed the injury, and
lasted for three weeks. Hernia cere-
bri occurred at the site of the wounds,
and fragments of bone had to be re-
moved before healing took place. When
the patient regained consciousness he
was found TO be speechless and COM
pletely paralyzed on the left side of the
body. Speech, however. returned at
the end Of four weeks. and the para
lyzed leg gradually regained some de-
gree of power during the next three
years.
Eleven years after the injury, al
though he had lost all power of motion
in the left arm and forearm and there
was partial paralysis of the left side
of the face. the patients health was
otherwise good and he exhibited no
mental defect.

UNDIVIDED PROSPERITY.

At THE RISK OF being called a
Il calamity bowler" The Herald is
going 10 call attention % a few mat
ters IN connection with Prosperity
and THE Full Dinner Pail" which no
less an authority than Senator Jacob
Oaninger. In a speech which is being
widely circulated. says are the real
issues OF the campaign. A few days
ago. a Salt Lake housewife complained
20 her husband that her grocer had
charged her so cents FOR a small sack
Of corn meal for which she paid %
cents only n few months ago.
That doesn't seem like much of an
increase figured In cents, does il? But
It amounts TO just 20 per cent. And
when You add from 90 TO so per cent
and more 20 ali the articles which bare
necessity prescrihes for daily life you
fnd that al the end Of a month a con-
siderable amount in dollars and cents
is required 10 meet the bill Have
wages and salaries been increased

He viii tell you that ne is having a
harder time 10 meet his bills in $780,

Well. hardly. These are not theories
They are actual facts which viii be

practically stationary.
Not very long ago the thIrty-second
annual report Of the Massachusetts
bureau Of statistics OF labor was is
sued. II Is hardly necessary 10 say
that the members OF this bureau are
good Republicans. They did not pre-
pare their figures with a view 20 in
sorting them in Democratic campaign
books or Democratic stump speeches
The report was on conditions as the
board actually found them. and The
Herald is willing 10 accept them a:
accurate 70 the last degree. One OF the
interesting things It contains bears on
the purchasing power OF a dollar in
1902 as compared with 1897.
The statement shows that a dollar

persuaded the Doodle aldermen 20 sell

polntment to lovers OF fair play. AS
The Herald has before pointed out, II
there is any degree of guilt in the mat
ter OF bribery. the man who offers the
bride is more guilty than the man who
takes 1t.
II is comparatively easy for an alder
man who Is pinched for money. whose
home lacks comforts-perhaps necessa-
ries-to persuade himself that IL is all
right 10 take money for his vote. He
reasons that the robber ordinance can
not hurt the people so very much, and
he finally comes TO the conclusion that
he has done a very meritorious thing

by miserable surroundings or by Grim
lnal associates. Better than his vic
tim he knows the outrage that is being
perpetrated when ne purchases a vote.
So II follows almost necessarily that
Of the two the bribe-giver should be
the more severely punished.
All who have read of the 81. Louis
cases have earnestly hoped that the
usual procedure would be bettered, for
the usual procedure is 10 punish the
bribe- taker and allow his corrupter
perfect immunity. The temper Of the
81. Louis prosecutions indicated that
this course would be followed. but the
report Of the grand jury shows that it
has not one wealthy bribe-giver SEN
fenced to long term in prison would
do more toward breaking up the. evil
than the punishment OF a hundred
be-takers.
The Herald regrets extremely that ii

He Looked Hungry.


An artist who was making a sketch
ing tour through a picturesque region of
Connecticut CHANGED one day on a barn
So alluring 10 his eve that he sat down
on stone wall and went TO work at
once.
He soon became conscious that he had
two interested SPECTATORS in the persons
OF the farmer and his wife, who had
come TO the door of the house TO watch
him.
The artist bv and by discovered that he
had lost or mislaid his rubber eraser.
and. as he wished to correct a slight
error in the sketch. he went up to the
door and asked the farmers wife if he
might have a small piece OF dry bread.
This. as every artist knows. makes a
good eraser.
The farmers wife looked at him with
an expression of pity not unmixed with
surprise
DRY bread!" she reDeated. ''Wen.
guess you won't have to put up with any
sry bread from me- Young man. You
come right into the kitchen with me and
III give YOU a thick slice OF bread with
butter on it,"

AmHSemCHtS.


Before an audience in perfect SYM
patty with her wonderful voice, Miss
Emma Lucy Gates, Utahs sweetest
singer, was heard in public last night
for the last time until she returns from
another course Of study in Europe. The
assemblage in the tabernacle was one
that gave evidence of Miss Gates pop
ularity and ability. Nearly every seat
on the first floor was filed. and Miss
Gates numbers were received with
such manifestations of pleasure as
come only from thorough appreciation.
To say that Miss Gates was in mag
niticent voice is stating the truth but
trite!y. Richly sympathetic, with all
the pure sweetness of a perfect chime
of bells and with a range as wonder
full as it was delightful, Miss Gates
never appeared 10 better advantage.
Her first number was "Romaika," fol-
lowed by the Chaminade "Madrigal."
In both of these Miss Gates fairly out
did herself. Then. although she ap-
peared on the programme five times,
at the conclusion of her rendition of
Willamette" the audience insisted on
her coming back.
Playing her own accompaniment, she
sang Comm Thro' the Rye" charm
! ingly. Her last song was that favorite
with Salt Lake listeners, The Pearl
of Brazil" and so we'll did she do 1t
that she was accorded such a demon
stratiOn as has rarely been seen in the
tabernacle. Men and women stood up
10 applaud, and the outburst lacked
| very little of cheering.

| full measure of appreciation and all Of
them thoroughly deserved it.
Don't expect too much if you go TO
! the Theatre this week. You might not
/ get what you're looking for. A new
musical comedy has dropped in
whence il comes. nobody knows-with
the expectation Of playing the entire
week. II is founded on CartOonist Op-
per's famous Alphonse and CASTOR, and
/ that is the name OF the piece.
"Alphonse and CASTOR" is like unto
! a vaudeville show done By performers
/ good. bad and indifferent. You'll go
blind looking for a plot. but the plot
| isn't always essential to an entertain
ment. There were some specialties in
the bill last night that took well. Es-
pecially good was the Hebrew act OF
| Mr.. Ashley. The two name characters
were often funny, the subject itself be-
ing an extremely humorous one. but, as
| Hi said. two good" knockabout COM
edians could work OUT TO better adj
vantage.
The principals are helped out by a
company Of good size. and the piece is
| beautifully costumed all the way
/ through. IL was a typical conference
[ crowd that packed the Theatre last
night, but just how salt Lakes play
1 goers will take the attraction remains
/ 10 be seen.
The Grand drew its share OF the con-
ference crowd last night and was
packed to the entrances. The attrac-
ton was a comedy drama called "A

tramp who tunns up every time the
favorite gets into trouble. thereby saw

A Wonderful Watch.
CThe Taller.

One of the most wonderful watches in
the world Is that owned and made by
Major Doping Hepenstal OF the Royal
Engineers. 1t is a comparatively small
watch. not much bigger than an ordinary
lever. but IL performs a variety of serv
ices in addition TO telling the time. il
rings an alarm bell In the morning t
wake its owner. then II proceeds TO light
a spirit lamp and boil kettle of water
and finally pours the boiling water into a
small teaDot. The Prince OF Wales wit
messed the wonderful performances OF
this watch and partook of a cup OF tea
which it made for his royal highness.

An exchange says that the Roose-
Welt strike conference was not a fall
ure. Notwithstanding the fact that IT
did not result in ending the strike.
That's considerably like the operation
which the distinguished surgeon pro-
nounces a perfect success. although
within a few hours the patient passed
peacefully away.
