THE HUfSAN BRAIN.

sH UndergOes Wonderful Changes
 During It's Growth.
 The wonderful changes which the hu- man brain undergOes from the moment when it first appears in the embryo un- til 1t becomes the perfected laboratory of thought characteristic to the ma. tured human being has been commented upon by several of the leading writers on biology, physiology, etc. During these successive changes, or, rather, transformations from the lower to the higher sphere, the human brain not only takes upon itself the general shape and form of the brains of various rep. resentatives of the lower classes of anil mals, but appears to have the same structural constituents, at least to a certain degree. Thus it has been found that the original germ of the brain as it appears in the human embryo has the exact outlines of serpent's thought factory. After that the changes which take place while the brain is assuming the various shapes which it must un- dergo before it becomes perfect give it a decided resemblance to the brains of fishes, birds and mammiferous anil malls.
 "Hein's Thoughts on the Structure of the Human Brain" and Wilson's Anatomy of the Human Body" both mention these queer transformations as does also Hugh Miller in his famous work, Testimony of the Rocks" Mil Ter puts it in this way: ''It has long been known that the human brain is built up by 8 wonderful process, dur ing which it assumes in succession the form of the brain of a serpent, a fish, a bird, and lastly, before it assumes the characteristic human form, it takes up- on itself the outline of a mammiferous quadruped's brain" Hence the remark made by scientific writers that "man is the sum total of all animals"

THE TIDY TADPOLE.

How This Cheerful Little CannibaI
 Eats and Develops.
 A wonderful spirit of tidiness seems to pervade the tadpole world. They always eat whatever has become use. less-their own eggs, their superfuous companions. Even those who are only weakly are cleared out of the way and the victims take it all as a matter of course. 1 have disturbed a strong member of the community just as he had begun to dine off the tail of a weaker brother, but the sufferer has not troubled to escape-he simply wait ed till the fratricide returned to com- plete his deadly work
 For some time there is no grave change in the tadpoles. They simply grow and become so far transparent that their internal mechanism, which consists of one coil of intestines, is plainly visible. When, however they are about three months old a careful observer can distinguish a tiny foot on either side of the base of the tail These grow slowly, but seem unable to move independently until shortly before the border land is passed which leads to perfect froghood. The hind legs have reached their full size before the front ones appear, and, while the feet grow slowly, the hands are ready made and can be used at once. For a day or two they can be seen under the skin before they venture forth, and their possessor is very restless and ex- cited. He rushes madly about, jost- ling his comrades, and no doubt being voted a bore; then a more vigorous eff fort breaks the skin and the tiny hand and arm appear.
 There seems some rule about the order of precedence here, as there is when the whiskers go, for last year my tadpoles, almost without exception, had their right hands some hours be fore the left, while on previous occa. sionS 1 have had an entirely left handed dcrew-Chambers' Journal.

THE PRICE TOO HIGH.

In a few weeks now the great public school system of the country will be in operation again. We would say a word to the parents of many a bright and ambitious pupil. It is that rather than be encouraged to take up extra bur denS of school work during the years between twelve and sixteen the pupil and this applies more particularly to the daughter in the hOme-shOuld be al lowed to take but the regular work
 and less than this if the condition Of health requires it. The cases are of all too frequent occurrence where an ambitious son or daughter has been urged beyond the limit of physical and nervous endurance simply to satisfy the shallow vanity of an unwise and shortsighted parent in the desire to see the child at the head of the class. A weakened vitality, ruined eyesight and a nervous breakdown are cOnsidera- tions which prove beyond question that the game doesn't begin to pay the can dle. The boy possessing a somewhat larger endowment of animal spirits and having less ambition and pride than his sister will fire his books into the corner when the point of nervous tension is reached and go out of doors and refresh his tired spirits. It is only the ''tomboy'' girl who will imi- tate her brother in this respect, and fortunate she is if endowed with his feelings. There's not a high school, college or university in the country but has it's quota of human sacri- fees due to this abOminable system of cramming, stuf6ng and overstudy AS the children in the home grow to ma turity every care possible should be exercised with view to giving them strong and robust bodies, their intel lectual attainments being of entirely secondary considerat ton when got at a sacrifice of health. It is of mighty lit tie satisfaction to the student when he finishes his school or college course to realize that in return for a store of more or less useless book knowledge he is doomed to lifelong invalidism and incapacity. Education is a valuable asset, but it is dearly acquired at an expense of physical bankruptcy.

THE START IN ALFALFA.

A reader or these notes, living at Petersburg, H., writes asking where De can secure pure and reliable alfalfa seed. In reply to this direct question we would say that the Payne Alfalfa company of Omaha, Neb., is recon mended by the Iowa experiment sta tion as one of the most reliable firms dealing in alfalfa seed. Seed which the writer got from it last fall gave a most excellent stand In starting patch of alfalfa only the best seed should be used, and this will come at about $9 per bushel, which is the price of red clover seed. Our core Epondent also wishes to know where he can get red clover bacteria with which to inoculate his soil. In view of the fact that such rank frauds have been perpetrated under the guiSe of furnishing cultures for the different leguminous crops, we would repeat what appeared in these notes a short time ago relative to this subject. In order to clear up a good deal of fiction concerning the matter, as we'll as to show up a number of firms that were swindling the public with bogus and worthless bacteria cultures, the agri- cultural department issued a bulletin which states that experiments conduct ed show that no beneficial results can be expected for particular crop if the bacteria of that plant are already in the soil; that but little benefit can be expected if the ground is decidedly in need of other fertilizers, such as phos- plates, potash or lime, and that prac tically no benefit can be derived from inoculation of the soil if it is already rich in nitrogen. Experiments carried on at the Iowa station under the super vision of Professor Holden show that very satisfactory results can be ob tained by thoroughly fertilizing the plot to be used for alfalfa with barn yard manure and putting it in the best of tilth before sowing the seed, har- rowing in as with clover. It is con- ceded that there may be distinct ad- vantage in taking soil from a field in which the plant has obtained a foot hold and scattering it on the new land at the time the seed is sown, but the importation of nitro cultures from any firm which does not have the O K of the department of agriculture or ones own state experiment station is, as ex- perience of many has proved, very precarious speculation. Fit the land as you would to produce a bumper crop of corn and sow seed not later than Aug 15.

SHADE ABOUT THE HOME.

AS between a treeleSS, sun beaten yard and one covered with a surplus of shade there are few people but would prefer the latter condition, and yet from the standpoint of home sani- tation and individual health the former is far the more desirable. It is but nat ural that there should be prejudice against taking out any of the shade trees about the home which for years have furnished nesting places for feath- cred friends, provided refreshing and cool retreat from summer sun and served to break the force of winter winds. We come to look upon these mute friends with real affection, and no wonder that as a result of such at tachment formed through long years of association we are loath to cut them out root and branch. They have al-

Some idea of the enormous repro ductive capacity possessed by the lar ger varieties of fish may be got from 8 calculation of an Iowa fisherman who took five and One-eighth pounds of eggs from one German carp. By actual count one grain contained four teen eggs. which would bring the sum total of eggs carried by this fish up to approximately 12,41O,29O. It is this remarkable fecundity of the carp fam fly that accounts for the fact that it multiplies with such rapidity in all waters where its eggs and young fry are protected from the ravages of its natural enemies.

As contrary to a quite generally ac- cepted notion, the superintendent of one of the government fish hatcheries is authority for the statement that the German carp does not thrive of the spawn of other fish, nor does it de- vour young fish of any description, but is strictly vegetarian, its food be- ing the roots of tender plants to be found at the bottom of creeks and bayOus, which 1t burrows after with its long snout The carp is an inoffen- sive, awkward fellow, who will never put up a fight when he can get out Of it.
