THE HUMAN BRAIN.
ts Capacity to Receive the Impress
 siOns of a Lifetime.

'ts Capacity to Receive the Impress siOns of a Lifetime.
 E Authorities differ as to the capacity s the average brain to receive the inn ressions of a lifetime. It is pretty Tell believed that there is in the brain . center of conservation distinct from he center of perception. We of course now nothing as to the nature of the elation of brain cells to precepts and observation, but we do know that here must be a relation. The re- earches of Hammerberg and Thomson how that the number of cells in the rain is 9,2O0O00,O00. All stimuli, eX- rnal through the five senses) or in- rnal (through processes, must leave bme trace upon these cells, chemical, hysical or dynamic. These stimuli te composed of all sorts of precepts- ords and sounds heard; things and ords seen; objects felt, tasted, smell sensations perceived in our own bdies; thoughts pushing upward into bnsciousness. And a little reflection ill show how innumerable such i'm tints must be in the course of single aking day.
 Even without reading, the resident of
 city must receive an incalculable lmber of impressions upon his brain Fery twenty-four hours. The reading Inter of the brain occupies a compara- Eely small area in the back of the left misphere and consequently must pos ss a very small portion of the 9,OOO,- 1000 cells referred to above. We can
 ly guess at the number, but fair es- nate would be about twentieth, or, y, 5OO,OO0,000, which in lifetime of kty years would allow us about 25,- 0 cells day for the perception and observation of words and sentences lad. These figures may have no ientific value, but at any rate they nphasize a very important fact, and at is that our brain capacity is limit
 and that we should be sparlng of e cells we daily squander.-Dr. Fred ick Peterson in Golfers.

As Mark Twain Saw It.

|When Mark Twain was city editor of |e Virginia City Enterprise, back in Ie seventies, he used to brighten up |e columns of the paper with comic Lragraphs setting forth the advan- |ges of advertising. These para |aphs were based on all kinds of odd |cts-on murders, on crop reports, on dnaping, on the weather. One para aph ran like this:
 'Germany has just discovered 8 lried forest in her midst, supposed to
 10000 years old. If the man who st it had advertised in the Enterprise,
 chances are that it would have
 en returned to him that night"

Smith Had a Run
For His Money!

Saturday evening about II
o'clock, while Ed A. Smith was
vending his way homeward, and
rwEile full Of the hope that he
might do some good to the human
race, he happened to meet one
Gustav Peterson, who had been
too close to some alkali water
and was feeling a little hilar-
ious. A friend of Pederson's
was assisting him homeward, but
it appears was not getting the
carrier of the jag home fast
enough to suit Mr.. Smith, who
believing that the long desired
opportunity to do good had come.
volunteered some information
which didn't particularly appeal
to Peterson, who it seems start
ed to run after Mr.. Smith. Ed
evidently is not.a very good run
ner tor he was overtaken by the
intoxicated gentleman, or fell
and was bounced upon by Peder-
son who, Smith says, pummelled
him up numerically. This Ped
erson denies and insists that the
sidewalk struck Brother Smith.
At any event, Peterson was later
found wearing Smiths cap
about the only evidence that was
found against him. Smith swore
out a warrant against Peterson,
charging him with assault with
f., intent to kill.
In Judge Henry's court, the
matter did not appear quite SO
serious, and Peterson was fined
for assault anu battery and
given 80 days in jail. It Is
quite likely that Mr.. Smith will
not volunteer any more inforna-
ton to people who stay out late
nights, without first ascertaining
the exact condition Of those up-
on whom he wishes to confer his
favors.
Peterson is a quiet appearing
fellow who has for some time
past worked at the Roe Hotel
near the depot and has borne q
good reputation.

Van LEV I aIks
About Flour Mill.

j. "A. Van Lew: What about
our flour mill and its progress?
Let me tell you a little about It.
/ had the pleasure Of meeting
with about forty other miIlers
from North Dakota and north
western Minnesota at Crookston,5
Mimi. on the 10th Of this month
This is called the Northwestern
Millers' club, and is for the pur-
pose of comparing notes, methods
samples anG etc., and if possible
to create a more faternal feeling
among the millers Of this section.
| was surprised to find our efforts
here in the milling lines so well
known and to hear the many
comments of praise, both Of our
mill and the flour we are MAX
ing. I had a sample of our flour
with me and compared them with
some Of the best aours in the
state and I found that we were
second to none Of them and came
back satisfied that we have as
good a mill as is possible to
build, and satisfied also that we
are making as good flour as pos
sible to make from No. / hard
wheat.
What about the Larimore flour
being offered at retail so much
cheaper than our flour? Well, /
must say that we don't care a
snap for that kind of competi-
tion. It shows on the face Of it
that their flour will not sell in
the markets on it's merits, and
in order to sell it they are offer
ing it at a very low price. No,
we don't pay any attention to
them. +

Of Olmstead employed Edward
