payment until The arrival Of the goods
IF in the meantime the market has

the American and intimate that he is
not prepared to stand all the loss and
that the American should divide the
loss with him, though to do SO might
wipe out all The profit on the tl'ansac

THE HUMAN THROAT.
1t Has a Sort of Little Brain That
Controls Its Actions.

1t Has Sort of Little Brain That
Controls Its Actions.
Did you know that the throat has d
brain of its own? Few people are
aware of it, but it's fact. There is a
small ganglia which exercises direct
control Of the muscles Of the throat
and acts as it's brain. OF course it. is
.subservient to the genuine brain, but
at the same time does. good deal of in
dependent thinking for itself. 1t is
very timid and suspicious of any
strange objects that come near the
throat
For this reason, it is very difficult for
a physician to operate on the throat.
Before anything can be done in this di-
rection it is necessary for the operator
to gain the confidence of the little brain
that dominates it. It frequently takes
weeks before this confidence can be
secured, and until it is secured it is
impossible to perform an operation.
Woe to the man who attempts rough
treatment to the throat before gaining
the little brains confidence. His oper-
ations 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 commissions. Still more curious is
the fact that this little brain has a
memory, and if once frightened in this
way it is almost impossible to ever
gain it's confidence, no matter how
gentle the operator may be.

iBSENS PARADOX

- to Society.

s
Ibsen, my great compatriot. has In.
dox that the man is strongest who
stands most alone. There is certainly
some truth in this-nay, there is much
truth in it SO far as science is con-
cerned. The man who in. the search
for truth goes his way Independently
of other men and of other eonsid era-:
tons is certainly the man who is apt
to find the greatest and most valuable
truth. On the other hand, it is also
true that science more than most other
things in life" depends on cooperation.
on the help: of one fellow beings,sand
this becomes more and more true every
day. Many peoples are apt. to forget.
what science actually is and what they
owe to.sscence, for it is through sci:
ence that modern society. actually ex
lists, and the development Of society as
it is today would be impossible if sci.
ence were eliminated. Humanity is
growing; but. il. Science and the means
created by Science are not growing, hus
manity will have to look forward to a
very miserable future: Therefore the
nation. that wishes to- be. cared for
must support science and those: who
carry on scientific work. Sciences will
live her own, life and has done SO ever
since the days when Prometheus made
his fatal expedition to the gods and
stole the fire which is more or less
burning in every one of us and cannot
be extinguished. There is something

Historical Accuracy,

Perish the thought that the novelist
or playwright should be tied down to
historical accuracy! Lady Dorothy
Neville quotes an amusing correspond
ence between Bulwer Lytton and her
brother:
My Dear Walpole-Iere I am at Bath
bored to death. [ am thinking of writ
ing play about your great ancestor, Sir
Robert. Had he not sister Lucy, and
did she not marry a Jacobite?
Ny brother promptly replied:
My Dear Lytton-I care little for my
family and still less for Sir Robert, but
I know that he never had a sister Lucy,
so she could not have married a Jacobite.
However, this mattered little to Lord
Lytton, for his answer ran:
My Dear Walpole-You are too late! Sir
Robert had a sister Lucy, and she die
marry Jacobite.
So, in defiance of history, the play
ssWalpole'' came to be written.
