Brain Work ana Longeyity.

In a lecture on longevity delivered
before the Royal College of Physicians
Sir Hermann Weber, himself an octo-
genarian. gave official support to the
doctrine that brain work does not kill.
but rather the reverse. A few of his
instances We're Sophocles, Plato, Galen.
Cicero, Moltlle, Bismarck, Mommsen
and Gladstone, to whom we might add
Hobbies, Carlyle, Spencer and Kelvin.
The facts are that brain work increases
the supply of blood to the nerve cells
and promotes their nutrition and
health. Mosso, an Italian. laid a man
on delicately balanced table and
showed that the head end sank when
ever the subject did a mental sum or
any other brain work. The increased
weight of his head was due to the life
giving blood. The truth is that brain
work, as such, never killed anybody

NOses.

One of the most brilliant essays on
nasology is the one which classes noses
not by origin, but by mentality. The
aquiline nose, for example, is the sign
of goodness, amiability and weakness
By that nose Louis XVI. was led to
the direst catastrophies. Let us have
commiseration for the nose that is very
slightly prominent. 1t is the muZzle
of a sheep and belongs to people who
are easily deceived. Distrust the nose
with the medium part elongated. That
elongation marks the extent of desires
and the instability of appetites. Look
out also for the ferret nose, with its
sharp point, always OH the scent for
secrets. 1t is the nose of the inquisitor
The devilmay-care nose is slightly
turned up at the end. 1t denotes 4
character without firmness. But when
you see Il nose that rises from the
depths of the orbits and stands out in
bold relief take off your hat. You are
in the presence of the nose of think

about to choose a career for him which
would do credit to the silver, the por-

gentle arguments for the ministry.
Jefferson Douglass went to college with
his mobile face as inscrutable as ever,
but with firm determination to choose
his own career.
The exact moment when he decided
what that career should be was that
October afternoon when Michael Ryan,
athletic trainer and eNmiddleweight,
rose groggily from the floor of the gym
nasium and rubbed the point of his
jaw in Il dazed fashion. Before him,
unlacing the boxing gloves which in
cased his hands, stood Il short thick set

own gloves and extended his hand
which the other shook gravely.
"If l could hit like that said Ryan.
II wouldn't be here. Man, could
make wonder of you in years time. :"
That was why Jefferson Douglass
cut short his course at college, where.
to tell the truth, he was not succeeding
tremendously along prescribed lines,
and, in stormy interview at home,
announced his intention to seek his
fortune in the world in his own way
and by his own efforts. How those
efforts We're to be directed he neglected

came bitter truth his father swore
roundly, and his mother looked long
at the ancestral portraits, especially
the Copley, and wept.
For three years Shorty Mahan en-
joyed Il series OF brilliant ring victories,
which made his name a household word
in the sporting world and added very
materially to the foundation of his for
tune. Then it was announced that the
fight between Mahan and Billy Devine
of the Pacific coast for the lightweight
championship Of the world had finally
been arranged to be pulled off in well
known sporting club in the east; that
the purse had been put up, the articles
of agreement signed by both men and
the forfets posted.
Just two weeks after this announce
ment Shorty Mahan, with his trainers.
his sparring partner, his rubbers and
his bull terrier, took up his abode in
little cottage on the shore of Freshwa-
ter lake, prepared for the monotonous
three months of training which was to
fit him for the fight of his life.
Freshwater lake was charming bit
of water but half mile from Thorn
ton village and scant ten miles from
the club where the fight would take
place. Shorty Mahan upon his arrival
looked the place over, grinned his de-
| light and entered upon his training
with a vengeance.
The trouble began one May evening
| just at sunset as Mahan and Jim De
laney, his sparring partner, were re-
turning from ten mile run along the
country roads. They had reached the
village and were jogging easily along
the elm lined streets when Mahan no

his cap, ''I'll get the kitten for you"
"Oh IL you would be so good" said
the girl, flushing becomingly.
