A Brain Tn Tour Throat.

Did you know that the throat has . brain of it's own? I suppose few peo- pie are aware of 1t, but It's a fact. There is small ganglion which exer- ciscs direct control of the muscles of the throat and acts as its braiH. Of course 1t is su3servient to the genuine brain. but at tle same times does a good deal of independent thinking for itself. It Is very timid and suspicious of any strange objects that come near the throat. For thls reason it Is very. difficult for physician to operate on tue threqf Before anything can be done in tAs direction it is necessary for the operator to gain the confidence of the little brain that dominates 1t. It frequently takes weeks before this con- 6dence can be secured, and until 1t Is secured it is impossible to perform auy operation. Woe to the man who at- tempts rough treatment to the throat before gaining the little brains conf dence! His operations will be resented with violent paroxysms. first of the throat. then of the diaphragm. and If the operator still persists the patient will be thrown into convulsions Still more curious Is the fact that this littla brain has memory. and If once fright ened In this way 1t Is almost impoesibIe to ever gain It's confidence, no matter how gentle the operator may be.

A Freak of Nature.

The most wonderful piece of natural sculpture in the world may be seen by any visitor to the Cape Verde islands. This specimen of natural art work Is without doubt the most colossal and marvellous freak known to the geolo- gists and geographers San Vincente Is the principal town of the islands. As the ship enters the harbor of the above named place one sees bold ridge of dark volcanic rocks lying in the distance The crest of this ridge forms an exact likeness of Washing
 ton. the figure lying apparently face upward. as if in sleep. The large, bold features. the backward wave of the hair. the round form of the mass his colonial shirt are reproduced on scale of such magnitude and grandeur as to be absolutely startling. The fidelity of the outline Is such that the freakish forms assumed by tho stalactites and stalagmites in the well known natural caverns are not suita- ble comparisons. This strange natural monument to the greatest of American heroes Is the first object to meet the gaze of the observing sightseer as he approaches the Cape Verde islands. With the boundless ocean for its back ground and the tropical sky overhang- ing 1t. 1t IS no flight of the imaginati ton when we say that the freak forms a tableau of overpowering magnificence.

prOEressive Dinners.

Progressive dinners are not new, but they have never been given frequently because hostesses had a notion that they were difficult. Far from being the case. they simplify dinner giving, for they make their own amusement, constantly furnishing topics of con- ation, so that there is no danger of dagging.
 As the name implies. the guests pro gress through dinner, not only hgura- lively, but literally-that is to say, with every course a man moves up one. or, rather, to the seat of the man next, so that before the end of the dinner he has talked with each woman guest.
 There is a good deal of fun in this. for when time is called, as it were. the man must leave for the next wonan. whether or no Sometimes he is glad; more often Le is sorry. and when he is in the midst of deeply absorbing mat ter with bis neighbor be Is wrathy, even though the emotion may be con- cealed. But always there is variety. which, after all. is the main thing 5OuS2t DS noat2SSeS.
 There is no difficulty in managing the progression. although it is bit less simple than as though all plates were removed at once. The present fad of having a pate taken away as soon as a person has finished. regardless of what the others may be doing. makes 1t necessary for hostess to give signal, but this Is very simply done by striking a little bell or blowing a whistle. This should be as the last persons plate is removed for the course previous. and 1t is understood that no man begins second course n the same seat. It is a jolly sort Of way to do. and a hostess will find Il little work.-Chicagp Inter Ocean
