one of the best illostratioits' of a Doe-
sible similar process,in the phenom-
ena of mental impressions and their
translation, into speech or action. That
the similaritY appealed to Mr. Edisen
himself seems more than probable, as
he has in this, as In ether views, fully
committed himself to a wholly Mater-
ialistic conception of life. '
If the theory, then, has even slight
kindred evidences In its favor, the re-
searches now being carried on with
much Beerecy may tlisclese unexpected
results. If the lines on the brain
should be found related to definite
thmight impressions, their interpre-
tation is not beyond human powers.
The same order of mind that wrested'
the lcey to the Egyptian hieroglyphics
from the iinitilated Rosetta Stone' may
possibly do .ag. much froni the brain
of a dead professor, bringnig to light
the thoughts which he kept hidden
even from his own heart while in
110 e.
Should- this come about, however,
it is hardly neeessary to speculate
upon the portentious changes that
would be wrought. No man could hide
himself, nor could any nation practice
the arts of diplomacy. No one could
be led astray that was not willing to
go. The* Black Hand 'would betray
Ito own secrets, and the white slaver
convict himself. Congressitinal inves-
tigations would cease, and the re-
former disclose at a glance whether
he really liked grape juice or pre-
ferred something stronger. And John
couldn't -even think that his wife
thinks he is. going to the club, for fear
that she would find him .out, the gay
deceiver. .
In view of which, together with a
thousand and one other complications
that would. ensue, It will perhaps be
best if the Harvard scientists fail of
their purpoee.

People Here Drop It, Which is a
Pity.
1018 a pity so many people here
drop the Irish 0, for it is a prefix
of nobility that is the oldest in Eu-
rope, says Tryconnell O'Donnell,
in New York Tribune. Many of
our besi Dutch °families in New
York came here without a surname,
but there is um a family in bre-
land possessing a surname in. 0
that has not .borne that surname
since at least the twelfth century -
That is surely a high distinction
and proof of social standing that
Ireland's fall from its higit estate
cannot obliterate. I believe that
Venice has families whose surnames
dateifriim the ninth century, but
with 'that exception Irish surnames
are the oldest in Europe.
Under compulsion of the penal
laws, many people in Leinster
adopted English names, but these
people belonged mainly to the loW,.
er classes, and nair.n they

Buthher, showed their occupations
and the meaning of their Irish sur-
names. Such names always bore
the Mao, and in Ireland's whole
history you will fiad nowhere in its
'ancient nobility: a family bearing a
name associated with any trade or
occupation, nor any such name
with the 0 prefixed, Howard -or
Hogward, the most aristocratic
name in Britain, would have been
borne only by hereditary swins,-.
herdsin the old Irish world.,
The belief prevails in parts Of
Ireland and Europe that only five
families rightly bear the 0 -the
G'Neilla, high monarchsorIrelancl
and kings of Ulster ; the O'Don-

ly Declares Nothing Is So
Satisfactory as kerviline.
Says Nerviline is f.Fine Liniment.
"After fifty years' experience in rais-
ing horses I can safely testify that no
remedy gives such good results for an
ail -round stable liniment as Nerviline."
Thus opens the very earnest letter of
J. J. Evanston, who lives near Welling-
ton. "I had a very valuable horse that
took distemper it month ago, and Was
afraid I WaS going to lose him. His
throat swelled and hard lumps devel-
oped. His -nostrils ran and he had
a terrible cough. I tried different
remedies, but was unable to relieve
my horse of his pain and suffering till'
I started to use Nervtline. I mixed a
bottle of Nervilineand sweet oil and
rubbed the mixture on the throat and
chest three times a day, and you
ivonid scarcely believe the way that
horse picked up. Nerviline cured john.
I ale° have used Nerviline for colic
In licirSee and cows, and earnestly re-
commend it to every man that is rais-
ing stook."
For strains, epraine, swellings, colic,
distemper, coughs and colds, no lint-
rhent will prove SO efficacious in the
stable as 'Nerviline"--it's good for
man or boast, for Internal or exter-
nal use Wherever there is pain,
Nerviline will cure it. Refuse sub.

Napoleon Granted the Simple Sol-
dier's Plea.— --
It was at an improvised review in
the presence of the enemy that Na-
poleon for the first time granted pen-
sions to simple soldiers, and named.
them Chevaliers of the Empire, and`
members of the Legion of. Honor.
Later, the chiefs of division always
conferred the distinctions, but the em-
peror permitted the soldiers who be-
lieved that they deserved the honor
to present their claims to himself in
