Brain Work and Longevity.

In lecture on longevity delivered
before the Royal College of Physicians
Sir Hermann Weber, himself an octo-
gcnarlnn, gave official support to the
doctrine that brain work does not kill.
but rather the reverse A few of his
instances were Sophoclcs, Plato, Galen.
Cicero. Moltke. 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 man
on n dellcately balanced table and
showed that the head end sank when
ever the subject did 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

HE WON THE AUDIENCE.
The Way Fred Douglass Got the Best
of Captain Rynders.


The ineXhaustible sense of humor in
Frederick Douglass kept him clear of
any sense of gloom, as was never bet
ter seen than ON the once famous oc-
casion when the notorious Isaiah Ryn-
ders of New York, at the head of a
mob, had interrupted an antislavery
meeting, captured the platform, placed
himself in the chair and hidden the
meeting proceed Douglass was speak
ing and, nothing loath, made his speech
only keener and keener for the inter
ference, weaving around the would be
chairman's head wreath of delicate
sarcasm which carried the audience
with It, while the duler wits of the
burly despot could hardly follow him.
Knowing only I'm a general way that he
was being dlssected, Rynders at last
exclaimed, what you abolitionists
want to do Is to cut all our throatsw
"Oh, no." replied Douglass in his most
dulcet tones; eve would only cut your
hair" And, bending over the shaggy
and frowzy head of the Bowery tyrant,
he gave n suggestive motion as of scis-
sors to his thumb and forefnger with
professional politeness that instantly
brought down the house, friend and
foe, while Rynders quilted the chair in
wrath and the meeting dissolved itself
amid general laughter. 1t was more
cheerful conclusion perhaps than that
stormier one-not unknown in reforma-
tory conventions-with which Shake
speare so often ends his scenes Eek

the great fire in st. Paul's churchyard
