First, Repcals, notifications and
amendments to the compiled laws OF
1897, and to the session laws Of 1899,
1901 and 1903. The amendments, while
comprising a large part OF the work,
are easily noted In rare instances a
section Is repealed outright, but in most
cases either new section is enacted IN
is stead or it is in reality amended by
some other section in the act repeating
IT, Reference is made to those sec.
Ciohs. Great care has also been taken

pcals Besides the above whenever
eA,rely new or additional laws are en-
a led reference is made to them in con
nettlon with kindred subjects.

To the later law.
Third, Decisions of the Supreme

properly inserted will show at glance
whether section or chap,er has been
amended, modified or repealed by a
later law, whelher the same subject
matter Is treated of in another section,
or whether it has been construed by
the Supreme court.

New eMat Preservstive.

A new meat curing process is re.
ported from Germany, where Profes.
sor Emmerich claims TO be able to
preserve meat in a fresh condition by
injecting into the veins OF the dead
animal acetic acid. The blood Is first
permitted to run out and then the
acid is put in. II permeates the flesh,
so the professor claims, and that pre-.
vents all decay and makes the use OF
refrigeration unnecessary. II is oh.
vious that il this process proves to be
all that is claimed for ii. it will revo.
~lutionize the meat curing industry. as
acetic acid is not an expensive pre-.
s%ervative. The reports say that meat
so cured has been shipped from Ger.
many to South African ports and was
found on arriving at its destination to
he OF good quality and perfectly pre-.
served. Our readers must remember
however that great things are elaine,
for all new processes.

CenterS of the Brain

Biologists admit that psychic cen.
tiers are localized in the cortex of the
brain. The function of language. for
example, is perverted or suppressed
when a certain portion OF the frontal
lobes Of the brain is altered or de.
stroyed. Or. Grasset, in a recent
work on "Spiritism," holds that the
c%cnters of automatism and sub.con.
seriousness form together a kind OF
polygOnal area. In the Revue de Phil.
Osophie he also discusses the qucs-
tion of an immatcrial soul and its re-
lation To these phychic centers of the
brain, and he concludes that the two
conceptions are not incompatible. In
telligence, he argues. Is a faculty Of
the soul. One cannot lOcalize it In
an organ The psychic function, how
ever, is more complex. IL comprises
the immaterial intelligence and the
thought expressed. associated as we
observe II in human life. For this
psychic function a material organ or
instrument as well AS the immaterial
intelligence is required. and this organ
is the corteX of the brain. Whether

Reject Oecayed Food.

The farmer is sometimes tempted
to feed decayed or musty food to his
poultry. II should never be done.
Just what effect ii might have on the
eggs produced by the fowls we do not
know, but II may have a very serious
effect on the digestive apparatus. We
have seen II urged not To feed such
foods because they would give TO the
eggs the same taints they had them
selves, but this may be doubted. One
writer tries to prove his case by as.
sorting that onions fed to fowls pro-
duced the smell OF onions in the eggs.
This may well be true, as the onion
contains a very penetrating oil that
will pass through the systems OF most
animals. II will appear in the egg OF
the hen or the milk Of the cow. But
that does not apply to the general
run OF foods. They should be re-
jected. but rejected for the reason
that they epdanger the health OF the

FEEDING the Bull.

The feeding OF the bull is a very
important matter, more SO than the
feeding Of the COW, for the reason that
the bull is generally kept up all the
time. Under such an abnormal con.
dition he becomes too fat If he is
fed a too large ration Of corn. 1t is
better to feed him on a mixed grain
ration, including oats, and to give
him a rough feed rich in nitrogen
rather than rich in carbon. Bran,
which Is comparatively low in car.
bon and high in nitrogen, should be
a part OF the daily ration. For the
bull at least roots should be fed In
considerable quantities, unless he has
an abundance OF exercise, which most
Of our bulls do not get. IL under q
properly balanced ration the bull be-
comes too fat it is indicative OF a
lack OF vigor, and such q bull should
be disposed OF and one substituted
that has the vigOr desired.

The Horses of Mexico

Although at the time of the con.
quest horses were unknown in Mex
leo, that country to-day boasts OF
some OF the finest Of the species. The
horses Of Cuba that were taken to
Mexico as well as the horses that
went 10 the River Plate on a similar
errand Of conquest are believed to
have been al Andalusian breed, and
Cunninghame Graham. the famous
British author and traveller, who
Knows from personal experience both
Mexican and Argentine horses, holds
that we must !Ook To Barbary for the
prOgenltOrs Of the COrdobese horses.
Most horses" he says, lin fact, all
breeds Of horses, have six lumbar
vertebrae. A most careful observer,
the late Edward lesson, a professor
In the Agricultural college of Santa
Catalina. near BuenOs Ayres, has
noted the remarkable fact that the
horses Of the Pampas have only FIVE.
Following up his researches, he has
found that the only other breed OF
horses in which a similar popularity
Is to be found is that of Barbary."

Cupid Ever at Work

Long & the silly odium that at
tached to old-Maidenship disappeared,
but ever in the days when popular
notion made a spinster Of 40 a hope
less old maid, records show that there
was no age limit to matrimonial
hopes.
For instance. so long ago as l774,
Miss Jane HodgesOn Of Stepney, Eng.
land, was welded to Henry Hutton,

reached her 92d summer, and the
bridegroom was two years older, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer.
More remarkable was the wedding
Of John Jackson and Annie Bates, ON
March 20, 1896, the l01st birthday OF
the bridegroom, who was three years
older than the bride. 1t was his
fourth marriage within two years, and
5000 persons escorted the couple to
the church.

what does il matter To the biologist
so long as he can l~ocalizc the center?
These ccntCrs of the brain are as in
d~ispensable for the expression of the
highest intelligence as for the lowest
automatisms. Consequently the biulo-
gist may CndcavOr To l~ocaliHe the cen
tiers of higher as well as of lower in
telligence. This quest, however, is
distinct from the study of the prinCi-
pie of intelligence. Hence psychology
should not become "A department Of
biology. Psychology is the science OF
will and conscience. Biology is the
science of the cerebral instrument
whose intervention is necessary for
the regular working of that will and
conscience. Each Of these two sci
