~——DEALER IN—— The anatomy of the nervous system
and consequently its physiology was
regarded in the past as very simple.
Cayal showed that the specific brain
cell is an independent unit provided
with multiple processes, by means of
which it is capable of acting not
through one nerve alone, but several.

called a neuron.
A simple illustration of how the neu-
ron works is furnished by our not in-
frequent hunt for a name or an idea
which we know we possess. We feel
that the name is there, but we cannot
recall it. We get various names near
it, beginning even with the same letter
or the same vowel sound, yet only after
minutes or even hours does it actually
occur to us.
What is supposed to happen is that
the particular cell of intellection which
we are using throws out its process
among the cells of memory for names,
and, though this process is brought in
connection with cells containing simi-
lar names, it is only after a more or
less prolonged search that it hits on the
right one. It is as if the telephone
operator in the central office felt
around blindly for the connection want-
ed and only after putting the plug into
various holes eventually struck the

| blind man was asked how he had
| young to her breast with one flipper
i five yards between them he answered:
A Queer Fish.
The strangest of all strange fish must
surely be the manatee and the dugong.
The latter is the mermaid of fabled
lore. The dugong live in flocks along
the shores of the Indian ocean, the Red
sea and the gulf of Manaar, where
they browse on seaweed and river veg-
etation. They are very affectionate in
disposition, and especially is this shown
in the love of the mother for her off-
spring, which is much stronger than
the instinct of self preservation. Nei-
ther will the male leave the female if
she be attacked, and instances are on
zecord where the companiams of the
manatee gathered round and made an
effort to withdraw the deadly harpoon.
It is supposed that the rude approach
to the human outline observed in the
shape of the head of the dugong, the
attitude of the mother in clasping her
while swimming with the other, hold-
diving and showing her fishlike tail
when alarmed, gave rise to the mer-
maid myth, first told by the Arab sea-
men. Jules Verne gives a thrilling
description of the capture of a dugong
in the Red sea, when its flesh was de-
' sired as food. Naturalists tell us that
, the flesh of the manatee and the du-
' gong much resembles well fatted pork,
| of pleasant flavor, and is highly es-
ot ples as food. For this reason they
were much hunted and are fast be-
coming extinct.—Field and Stream.
The Blind Man's Ears.
The degree to which the remaining
senses can be trained when the sight is
lost was illustrated the other morning
by two blind men from a home for
the blind. The men came from opposite
directions, and as they approached each
other a man standing on the corner
was surprised to hear one of the blind
men say: “Hello, Ed! What are you

Grief and White Hair.
The mustaches of Henry III. of Na-
varre are reported to have become par-
tially white in a few hours after hear-
ing of the concession of the edict of
Nemours. The hair of an English
banker, owing to reverses in business,
became gray in three days, according
to the Encyclopedia Metropolitan. Ac-
cording to the same authority, a man
about forty years old, who at his mar-
riage had a dark head of hair, “on his
return froin his wedding trip had his
hair turn so completely snow white,
even to his eyebrows, that his friends
London tn 1700. |
London in 1700 was a comparatively |
small city of about 600,000 inhabit- !
ants, the rough and ill kept main roads
to which had been but slightly improv-
ed since Tudor times. .The ghastiy
spectacle of many of the trees on the
Southwark road bending under their
burden of hanged men had indeed been
slightly modified, but none the less the
decomposing heads of “traitors” stiil
filled the atmosphere about London
bridge and Temple bar with myriads
of baneful microbes. :
Our immediate forbears were evi-
dently not overparticular about sight
and smells. They were accustomed
to see men sitting in the pillory pelted
with rotten eggs and possibly included
among their immediate circle not a
few who Lad been deprived of their
noses and ears for expressing too free-
ly their opinions, political and religious.
The drains were in an appalling con-
dition. The innumerable churchyards
were so full of coffins that they often
projected through the turf. Bear and
bull baiting, dog fights and boxing
matches were attended even by royal-
ty as late as 1820, and five years later
all the “dandies” in Londen were pay-
ing high prices to stand in the carts
round Tyburn to behold twenty-two of
their fellow creatures hanged for mis-
demeanors which in our time would be
punished with a few days’ imprison-
ment.—Saturday Review.
Lions Like Lavender Water.
The old theory of animal liking for
scents denied them any share in such
pleasures unless they suggested the
presence of their food or prey. But
such a reason can hardly be alleged for
a lion’s liking for lavender water. The
writer, wishing to test for himself the
reported fondness of many animals for
perfumes, paid a series of visits to the
zoological garden provided with bottles
of scent and a packet of cotton wool
and there tried some harmless experi-
ments which apparently gave great
satisfaction to many of the inhabitants.
Lavender water was the favorite scent,
and most of the lions and leopards
showed unqualified pleasure when the
scent was poured on the wool and put
into their cages.—Spectator.
Carnival Dancing.
Among the most picturesque of the
carnival festivities of Europe must be
classed that of the Gilles, or dancing
men, of Binche, in Hainault. These
men, 200 strong,.in their remarkable
headdress of tall ostrich feathers and
their lace decked costume fringed with
bells, dance from an appointed place
to the town hall, bombarding the spec-
tators with oranges as they go. Ar-
rived at the town hall, the public joins
in the fun, and soon some 5,000 per-
sons—men, women and children—may
be seen gayly waltzing around the
Grande place.

Snowdrifts In Sweden.
The worst snowdrifts experienced by
any railroad are said to be those in
Sweden. Although the cold is not so
intense as in some of our western
states, the snowfall is heavy and con-
tinuous. The snowplows of various
kinds which are used on these roads
are said to be the most powerful in the
world. There are times, however, when
even this machinery fails to clear the
way, when hundreds of men must be
employed to dig out the stalled trains.
Rather Cynical,
Deacon Jones—What do you think of
the proposition that women remove
their hats at church? Rev. Mr. Wyse—
Think of it? Why, it is the most ab-
surd thing I ever heard of! What do
they think the women come to church
for, anyway ?—Boston Transcript.

Perdita—Well, Jack and I are to be
married at last, and we are so happy.

trouble in getting your father’s con-
sent? Perdita—No; but pa and I had an
awful lot of trouble getting Jack’s con.
sent.
——Little Clarence—Pa, what is an op-
timiss ?
Mr. Callipers—An optimist, my son, is a
person who doesn’t care what happens if it
| doesn’t happen to him.

SPRING MEDICINE
There is no other season when
good medicine is so much needed
as in the Spring.
The blood is impure, weak and
impoverished—a condition indi-
cated by pimples and other erup-
tions on the face and body, by de-
ficient vitality, loss of appetite,
lack of strength, and want of ani-
mation.
Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills
make the blood pure, vigorous
and rich, create appetite, give
vitality, strength and animation,
and cnre-all eruptions. Have the
whole family begin to take them
today.
“Hood's Sertbalilis has been
used in our famil y for some time,
and always with good results,
Last Spring I was all run down and
got a bottle of it, and as usual re-
ceived great benefit.” Miss Bru-
