Made Clients Look Cheap,

A lawyer appeared before one of the
New York city boards asking that
damages be awarded to certain clients
because of change of grade in their
street. When he had completed his
argument the president said: Mr..
Blank, you ought to know better than
to take up the time of this board in
this manner. You are too good a law.
yer not to allow that on your own pre-
sentation Of facts these people have
not the shadow of a legal claim
against the city" "Your remarks are
fully justified, Mr.. President" said Mr..
Blank. II not only expected them,
but you have done me favor by
making them. There are times when
lawyer is so pushed by his clients
who seem to know more about the
law than he does that the only thing
he can do is to let them come up
against it themselves. They probably
know as much about it now as 1 did
before. thank you for your atten
ton" With that he took up his books
and left the room, followed by half
dozen crestfallen clients.

THE SMALLEST HUMAN BRAIN.
Proof That Size of Organ Does Not
Measure Intellect.

What is believed to be the smallest
brain ever found in normal human
being was revealed as a result of an
autopsy performed at the New York
city morgue upon the body of Daniel
Lyons, Waterman, employed in the
Pennsylvania tunnel excavation.
Lyons became i'll suddenly while at
work, and, having had no medical at
tendance, his death came technically
under the investigation of the coroner.
DR.. Philip O'Hanlon, who, with Prof.
John e. Larkin, of the College of Ply
sicians and Surgeons, made the au-
topsy, found that the brain of Lyons
weighed only "a ounces, although the
normal weight of the human cerebrum
is from 4S to SO ounces.
Lyons was 40 years of age, five feet
live inches in height and weighed 40
pounds. Those who had known him
for many years testified that he was
OF average intelligence. The cause Of
the mans death was Inflammation of
the kidneys. The mans brain seemed
IN every way normal except as to size.
1T Is one Of the most remarkable
brains I have ever SEEN" said DR..
O'Hanlon, who has made thousands of
autopsies, "and it shows that the size
of the brain does not necessarily
measure the intellect of man. Lyons
was. from all that l can learn, intelli-
gent and capable. The quality of the
brain, and not the size of it, counts.
One of the smallest brains known to
anatomists was that of Gambetta, at
one time president of France, and a
brilliant and forceful thinker"
Comparative tables of the weights
Of human brains bear out the idea of
DR.. O'Hanlon that there is little con.
nection between the weight of the
brain and the power of the intellect.

She had kind word for everybody.
Not even the poorest child on the
street was passed by without cour-
teous recognition. She was especially
thoughtful of the aged and suffering.
By her helpfulness, her sympathy,
her interest in all who came within
the range of her acquaintance, she
attached to herself wherever she
went, great numbers of devoted
friends. Ia the Sunday School, in
the Young Peoples meetings of the
church she showed, in many ways,
her interest in religious things, and in
her home the influence of her ul-
selfish nature was always beautifully
shown forth. She is gone but the
fragrance of her life will linger long
in many hearts. The parents aud
relatives have the deepest sympathy
of the entire community in this, their
hour ofsore bereavement.
The closing hymn was LEAD
Kindly Light" The room was liter
ally strewn with the profusion ct
flowers. The casket was piled high
with beautiful roses. At the close Of
the services at the house the burial
was private. The following young
gentlemen were pail bearers: John
Preston, Marion Jones, Frank Nc
Fadden, Sidney Green, John Doak
and Frank Bagley, and b re her TO

vault liz the Maple Cove cemetery.

Thought 1t Something to Eat.

A young Englishman with a title
and a healthy appetite recently went
to spend few days at a monastery
in Switzerland. By chance he arrived
on Friday, when the fare was espe
cially frugal. He had little to eat that
day and went to bed hungry. During
the night, as is their custom, one Of
the fathers went to the cells with
benediction, "The Lord be with you,
which, of course, he said in Latin
When he came to the door of the Wis
tor scell he knocked and said
Dominus tecum" who's there?
cried the young Englishman. The
monk repeated, "Dominus tecum.
An, thanks, I'm much obliged" said
ms lordship, getting out of bed
Please but it down outside!"
