THE HAND AND THE MIND.
As dexterity with the hands frequent-
ly demands cousiderable mental effort,
so manual training appears to react upon
the brain in a stimulative way. This
is the conclusion of Professor Biazek, of
Austrian Poland, and, Dr. Seanyten, of
Antwerp, who, *itt the recent interne -
Hone' congrees of :Wield hygiene, at
Paris, advocated the view, based upon
dxperinientation, the manual training
hasthe effeet of developing mental
qualities of rending and concentration.
Many have noticed the beneficial effect
of manual labor upon mental activity

PUZZLING IT OUT.
When telegraph poles were first set
up -they had, a most disquieting effect
upon various species of anireals. In Nor-
way, fur instance, at the thee of the in-
troditetion of these useful articles, the
bears were much perplexed to determine
their purpose,
The Norwegian bear, hearing the
incoming of the wind, in tbe Wires, such
a buzzing as he had somewhere heard
before, proceclea in the ursine fashion
to "put two and two together," Such it
buzzing must mean the presence of a
sweet morsel; the poles must be gigan-
tic, hives; so the bear set to work to
root the poles out of the ground.
The strange humming also attracted
the attenlion of the woodpeckers, tvhich
concluded that Innumerable insects were
concealed in these tall poles. Therefore,
the birds went to work to find the tree -
sure, boring holes to extract the insects.
In time, however, they all became wis-
er, and the telegraph pole or wire came
to be used by more than onespecies of
bird as a safe place for its nest. There
Is a small bird of Natal that used to
build its cradle -shaped nest In the
beareilies of tree, but as soon as the
telegraph wires were set up it changed
the location of its houselteeping and
built on the wires, so that snakes could
not molest its treasure.

Signor Ferranti made a startling

Weather of the island of Great I3ri3.ain

to be girded with an electrical " de-

vapors of the eea and preventing them

ed as desired.

ARGENTINA'S EXPORTS.
Argentina is the greatest exporter of
corn in the world; she sends abroad
more chilled and frozen meat than any
other country. Only Russia, says the
Century, excels her in wheat exports,
arid only Australia contributes more
Wool to international trade. The story
of her occupations is told in. the fact
that nearly $4,500,000,000 of working
capital is represented in the pastoral
and agricultural pursuits and in the al-
lied industries, while less than 9100,000
Is involved in manufactures, and this
includes electric light and power plants

wesn't sure, so he advised her to go
home and make the following test:
"First to take it small piece of the
goods, and ravel out the threads each
way of the Cloth, then put it ms.teb
to them. Cotton would be apt to burn
freely with little odor, Wool might. mere-
ly singe and would be apt to give out a
disagreeable odor, rannething like burn-
ing hair. Silk would burn less freely
than Cottim and emelt like burning
Wool. Now, if it did not smell vely

it did islie was to use Wool Dye, but she
WAS to look out to See that it did not
