SnOwdrffts In Sweden,

The worst snOwdrifts experienced by
any railroad are said to be those In
Sweden. Although the cold is not so
intense as in some of our western
states, the snowfall is heavy and con-
tinuous. The snowplows Of various
kinds which are used on these roads
are said to be the most powerful in the
world. There are times, however, when
even this machinery fails to clear the
way, when hundreds of men must be
employed to dig out the stalled trains.

TRICKY BRAIN CELL.
What Happens When We Know .

What Happens When We Know .
Name Which Escapes Us.
The anatomy of the nervous system
and consequently it's physiology was
regarded in the past as very simple.
Cayal showed that the specific brain
cell is an Independent unit provided
with multiple processes, by means OF
which it is capable Of acting not
through one nerve alone, but several.
This independent brain unit or cell Is
called q neurOn.
A simple illustration of how the neu
ron works is furnished by our not in
frequent hunt for name or an idea
which we know we possess. We feel
that the name is there, but we cannot
recall it. We get various names near
1t. beginning even with the same letter
or the same vowel sound. yet only after
minutes or even hours does it actually
occur to us.
What is supposed to happen is that
the particular cell of intellection which
we are using throws out its process
among the cells Of memory for names,
and, though this process is brought in
connection with cells containing SINH
lar names, it is only after more or
less prolonged search that it hits on the
right one. 1t is as if the telephone
operator in the central Office felt
around blindly for the connection want
ed and only after putting the plug into
various holes eventually struck the
proper one-Dr. Joseph Walsh in BOOK

The Blind Mans Ears.

The degree to which the remaining
senses can be trained when the sight Is
lost was illustrated the other morning
by two blind men from a home for
the blind. The men came from opposite
directions, and as they approached each
other a man standing on the corner
was surprised to hear one of the blind
men say: ''Hello, Ed! What are you
doing out this morning" When the
blind man was asked how he had
known the other with distance OF
FIVE yards between them he answered.:
"By the sound Of his cane, OF course.
I can tell at the distance of half
square the tap of the cane Of any man
in the home" -Philadelphia Record.

The strangest of all strange fish must

record where the companions Of the
manatee gathered round and made an

1t Is supposed that the rude approach

shape Of the head Of the dugong, the
attitude Of the mother in clasping her
young to her breast with one flipper
while swimming with the other, hold

diving and showing her fishlike tail

because of this moral superiority of the Jews
we see envy, hatred and oppression.
Il think further, for the same reason, that
these prosecutions will not cease. just as in
America there will be no cessation of the
persecution OF those cheaper and more in
dustriOus wOrkmen than the American-the
Chinese. America knows full well that, in
excluding the Chinese, they depart from
the fundamental principles of equality and
freedom which they profess; but the mat
ter concerns their skins, and they trample
under foot the principles % which they rem
der homage in words 1t is the same with
us, though there is this difference-we do
not even profess equality and freedom,
hence there is nothing to trample upon.
The Jews are able to distance the ma
jority in the race for what the quasi Chris
tlans want most, and therefore they will be
hampered in all possible ways-hamp2red in
the future as now, until the quasi-Christians
embrace the true Christian conceptions OF
life, which are far in advance of the archaic,
antiquated Jewish principles of morality.
Tostoy goes to say tnat he could not
think without assuming the maximum of
human equality, and that he objects to and

part:
"Herzl was a born statesman of the first

Tolstoy on the Jewish Question
in Russia

The committee of ministers which has
been studying and translating into concrete
proposals the cZars reform rescrpts has
declined to recommend any measures win
regard to the Jewish millions of Russia. 1T
found the problem too complex and difficult
for Offhand treatment or palliativeS, and ac-
cordingly suggests the appointment of a
bureaucratic body to consider it thor
oughly in all it's aspects, formulate compre-
hensive conclusions, and refer these to the
popular assembly shortly to be convened
for the discussion of suitable action
We're the questions merely POLITICAL say
the ministers, the obvious and simple settle
ment of it would lie in the bestowal upon the
Jews of full equality of rights and privi-
legeS; but the racial and economic phases
of it forbid the application OF that remedy
without further thought and inquiry into
possible consequences.
The Jewish organs in Russia are dis
pleased with lnis outcome of the ministers
deliberations, while the anti-Semtic Novoye
Vremya regards it too liberal and de-
mandS not reference of the question to
the popular assembly, but genuine popular
referendum upon it. If, it says 1t is intended
to give the Jews access to land, the peas
ants ought to be directly consulted.
Meantime the Novosti publishes private
letters on the question by Count Tolstoy,
KOrolenkO, the novelist and editor, and So
lavieff, the late philosopher and religious
thinker. Korolenko demands absolute equal
ity for the Jews. Count Tolstoy writes as
follows:
Il deplore the prosecutions to which the
Jews being subjected and regard them
not only unjust and cruel, but as sense
less. The subject however, does not
cupy me to the exclusion of all others,
even above all others. There are other mat
ters which stir me more deeply and there
fore l could not write anything upon it that
would greatly affect people.
Il think that the ethical teach ng of the
Jews and their actual daily practice are in
comparably higher than the teachings and
practice of our quasi-Christian society,
which accepts from the body of Christian
doctrine only the theories of repentance and
expiation and fances that these things alb
solve them from all moral obligations; anu

A Progressive Official.

z When the appointment of VIM.
Doherty as general passenger and
ticket agent Of the St. Louis,
Brownsville & Mexico railroad,
was first made, it was predicted
that this section would soon see the
effects Of his work in the greater
development that would immediate
ly follow. In this respect the pre-
diction has been verified. Mr.. Do
herty has used his well-known
ability to induce homeseekers to
visit this section. rendering them
all possible courtesies, and the re-
suit has been that a large number
of visitors have been attracted to
the Brownsville country. All, OF
course, have not remained, but
many of them have, and Mr.. Do
herty is still putting forth his best
efforts along the line of develop
ment. He can bring the prospectors
here, but it remains for those who
have property for sale, to keep them
here, and this can best be done by
putting land on the market at reas-
enable prices and disposing of 1t
in tracts TO suit actual settlers.
Sell ten acres to a thrifty truck
farmer, and his success will induce
others to invest, and like the peb-
bic, which, thrown into the placid
lake, causes the ripples to spread
and ultimately reach from shore to
shore, one mans success will move
many more to locate within our
borders. The Brownsville country
has been the placid lake, but the
pebbles are dropping one by one,
the circles are widening and a gem
eral era of development is opening
throughout this entire section,
which will make this the garden
spot of the south. Following his
usual progressiveness, Mr.. Doherty
has arranged for a meeting of the
Farmers Institute to be held IN
Brownsville i'll Feb. 9, mention OF
which was made i'll these columns
a few days ago. No doubt this
meeting will be of great benefit to
this section, and every citizen who
is interested in the development
of the country should assist in
making the affair a success.
