TKBMININO BRAIN FOWBB.
When tbe Cella Art So Conitltuted u
to 01 t# Ability for "Ttarn
Work," High Intelligence
lo Present.
Oth«r factora besides brain weight
ire known to Influence Intelligence, it
bM tom been known that tbe dlatln-
gulablng character of the human brain
la the largo number of connecting
libera by which Ita cella are co-ordl-
nated. In no other apeclea aro they
ao numerous or complicated. Tho cella
conatltuto but a very amall part of tho
weight. There la now oonalderable
evidence thnt the aame rule appllea,
among Individual men and that tboae
of great Intelligence bavo more con*
nectlona, ao that their cella can do
. mora and better "team work."
Borne Inveatlgatlona have ahown.the
rorpua calloaum to have* a largo croaa
aectlon In men who have ahown great
ability. It la alao known that tbe
bralne of able men aro likely to pre-
tent more convulalona and deeper onea
than the average, aa If there were
more brain cella aa well aa more con-
nections. A few obaervatlona la the
lower racea point to the fact that their
bralne are essentially different In mi-
croscopic organization, partly account-
ing for leas Intelligence.
All these facts will fully explain
why men of Intelligence-ln the blglter
racea may have brains not notably
heavy, but they do not disprove the
general statement that as a class auch
men do possess brains heavier than the
average.
The miatake arises from the failure
to recognize that noted men who have
shown Intellectual power not Infre-
quently were sharply limited to one or
two direction?, being very defective in
other directions. Blind Tom was an
idiot, in fact—an extreme case of what
Is quite common. At the other ex-
treme was Gambetta, who was not
much more than an orator, whose cere-
bral speech centers were found to be
highly developed. The rest of bis
brain was small, and his general in-
tellectual power and judgment were
decidedly defective. Ability in one or
two lines may make a man famous,
while he is really very defective, and
his brain proves to be small.
Heavy brains are not necessarily In-
tellectual ones, or elephants would be
in the class of geniuses.
The material might also be patho-
logic and the possessor an Imbecile.
It often happens that men of big
brain and great ability suffer from
early neglect and are found In lowly
employments or may remain Ignorant
through life. These few facts do not
prove that large brains are worthless
and not Indicative of mental power as
a rule. We cannot get away from the
fact that man as an animal Is supreme
because of his large brain; that among
races the brainiest are the highest, and
that In any one race the most Intel-
ligent, as a rule, are those who have
the most brains.
Men of small brains are not the lead-
ers, and no statistics of the brain
weights of a few exceptional men
noted for limited abilities can reverse
the rule. Universities do not create
brains, but merely train what exists,
eo that the owners are better fitted for
the battle of life. Many a man is
cent ro college who should be handling
a pick and shovel, and he never
amounts to much, even though he
subsequently makes his living at some
very limited specialty.
THE 8CIENCE OF LIVING.
Sr, Oeorgo V. Butler Telia Bow to
Eat and Bow to Ao-
almllate.
Dr. doors* F. Uutler, modical super-
intendent of tho Alma Springs Sanl-
tarluiu, Alma, Mich., In • the October
number of "How to Live, ' glvea somo
Interesting aa well as sensible rulea
for acquiring and keeping health. Ho
saya: "Without we eat and drink, wo
die! The provocative to do both rosta
with the appetite, which, in process
of time, becomes a very uncertain
guide; for the palate will often indue#
a desire and relish for that which la
most mischievous and indlgeatlblo.
The old Baying of 'oat what you like'
la now shunned by everybody of 20
yeara' experience. Still, without appe-
tite, It la a very difficult affair to sub-
sist—for the pleasure dependa chiefly
upon tho relish. Tho relish may bo-
come, aa haa been atated, a vitiated
one, but It is quite possible to make
tbe stomach, by a little forbearance
and practice, aa enamored of what la
wholesome and nutritious, aa of that
which la hurtful and not concoctlble."
Again he Bays: "The delicate
ahould feed carefully, not abundantly;
It Is not quantity which nourishes,
but only that which asalmllatea."
"Be careful of your digeatlon" la
the keynote of the doctor's argument.
He says; "Health In man. aa In other
animals, depends upon the proper per
formance of all functions. These
functions may be shortly said to be
three: (1) tissue change; (2) re-
moval of waste; (3) supply of new
material. For the activity of man,
like the heat of the Are by which
he cooks his food, la maintained by
combustion; and just as the fire may
be prevented from burning brightly
by improper disposition of the fuel,
or Imperfect supply of air, and as It
will certainly go out If fresh fuel is
not supplied, and may be choked by
Its own ashes, so man's activity may
be lessened by imperfect tissue change
and may be put an end to by an in-
sufficient supply of new material and
imperfect removal of waste products.
"We should see to It that free elim-
ination is maintained, for the ashes
must be kept out of the system in or-
der to have good health. The skin,
kidneys and bowels must do their
elimlnative work properly. If the
bowels occasionally become torpid, try
to regulate them with exercise and
proper food, such as fruits, green
vegetables, salads, cereals, corn, whole
wheat or graham bread, fish, poultry,
light soups, etc. Plenty of water Is
also valuable, and a glass full of cold
or hot water the first thing upon ris-
ing In the morning will aid much in
overcoming constipation. Regular
habit, cold baths, and massage are
very efficacious. In case the consti-
pation does not yield to these hygi-
enic measures, some simple, harmless
laxative may be required, such as Cali-
fornia Syrup of Figs—a non-irritating
preparation of senna in fig syrup.
Laxative mineral waters are bene-
ficial In some cases, but not to be em-
ployed continually.
"Abo i all be an optimist, keep the
heart young. Cultivate kindness,
cheerfulness and love, and do not for-
get that 'we shall pass through this
world but once.' Any good thing,
therefore, that we do, or any kind-
ness that we show to any human be-
ing. let us do it now. Let us not deffcr
It. or neglect It, for we shall not pass
this way again."
Tbe Greatest Tea Drinkers.
The greatest tea drinkers In the
world are the Australians, they an-
nually consuming seven and three-
fourths pounds per head. In England
the proportion Is about six and three-
fourths pounds per head and In the
United States only one pound two
ounces.
Putting Her Foot in It.
Two girl trlends met In the Btreet
and flopped to shake hands.
"So glad to see you, Grace," said
the tal'or-made Alice. "Was just on
my way to ask you, as my oldest
friend, to be one of my bridesmaids." j
"Bridesmaids! How lovely! 1 did j
not know you were engaged," replied i
Grace.
"It'a sudden, very sudden, but he's ]
awfully In love, and Is Just too sweet
to live. Will you act?"
"Act! Of course. I'll be charmed.
But," moving forward and speaking |
in an undertone, "do come round the i
corner and tell me all about it. There
comes that idiotic, Irrepressible don-
key, Jim Berton. He's grinning as
though he meant to stop, and I don't
care to be seen talking to him."
"Jim Berton? He's tbe man I'm go-
ing to marry!"
Encouraging to Smokers.
It has long been known that smok-
ers are not liable to certain diseases.
It Is now held that this is due to the
presence in the tobacco of formalde-
hyde, on* of the strongest of the dis-
infectant*
Wants International Observatory.
Prof. Edward C. Pickering, of the
Harvard observatory, proposes to es-
tablish an International observatory.
His committee is to be composed of the
eminent ostronomers of the world,
who are to raise a sum of money, have
a gigantic telescope built and placed
on the most suitable spot on earth, and
all to go to work.
By following the directions, which
are plainly printed on each package of
Defiance Starch, Men's Collars and
Cuffs can be made just as stiff as de-
sired, with either gloss or domestic
finish. Try it, 16 oz. for 10c, sold by
all good grocers.

sary. No matter how fine the material
or how daintily made, bad starch and
poor laundry work will spoil the effect
and ruin, the 'clothes. DEFIANCE
STARCH is pure, will not rot the clothes
nor cause them to crack. It sells at xoc
a sixteen ounce package everywhere.
Other starches, much inferior, sell at xoc
for twelve ounce package. Insist on
getting DEFIANCE STARCH and bo
