WEIGHT OF THE BRAIN.
Diference Between Sevages and Races
Long Civilized.
Prof. 'Frederick W. Mott; lecturing be-
fore; tate Royal Institution of Great Bri-
tain on "The Brain," said tiza:t although
in 88 per Dent: of the cases in which the
brains of great men have . been weighed
the weight" was above the average, brain
weight itself .did always. mean brain
quality:" . ,
When there 'was lack of the function-
ating tissue, the lecturer explained, the
structural material might receive .more
than its normal share of nourislunent,
and the extra weight be due to over-
growth 'of "brain scaffolding.' This ae-
oounted /or the very large and heavy
brains sometimes found in congenital
idiots. Pointing out that the brain weight
of a race long civilized surpassed that of
aboriginees, the Iecturer stated that
whereas the ordinary European hospital
patient had a heavier brain. than a sav-
age, the Chinese Coolie laborer's brain de-
veloped by eenturies of use, weighed lea
ounoes more than that of the European
hospital patient.
Referring to the relative brain weights
of Caucasian men and women, Prof. Mott
saki that the female brain had a goed
start, weighing nearly PA ounces more
than the male brain at birth. In adult
life, however, the average man's brain
weighed about 51a. ounces more than the
woman's.
The average weight of the European
male brain was 2 pounds 15 ounces 9
drams to 2 pounds 10 ounces 0 drams,
and of the female brain 2 pounds, 10
ounces 11 drams to 2 pounds 10 ounces
14 drams. Anion; savages there was

KEEPING CHILDREN WELL,
DURING HOT WEATHER
Every mother knows how 'fatal the
summer months are to small children.
Cholera infantum, diarrhoea, dysentery,
and stomach troubles are alarmingly
frequent at this time, and too often a
little life is lost after a few hours' Ill-
ness. The mother who keeps Baby's
Own Tablets in the house feels safe. The
occasional use of' the Tablets prevents
stomach and bowel troubles or if the
trouble conies suddenly will bring the
little one through safely." Irrs. Geo.
Howell, Sandy Beach, Que., says: "My
baby was suffering from colic, vomiting
and diarrhoea, but after giving him
Baby's Own Tablets the trouble dis-
appeared." Sold by rnedicine dealers

Autos for Farmers.
During his recent trip through the
west Mr. William C. Brown, president of
the :New York Central, spent a eonsider-
able time in the farming districts, nota-
bly of the southwestern part of Iowa,
and was much impressed with the hold
the automobile has secured among them
and its effect upon the roads of that
section,
"It is remarkable," he said, iib talking
of his trip to a reporter, "to notice how
the farmers are buying automobiles.
Only a little while ago the, average
Western farmer would as soon think of
buying an automobile as he would of
hiring the Flatiron Building for a cow
barn. Nen,, in the little town of Clar-
inda, wheer I spent some time, one of
the features of the Fourth of July wilt
be a parade, hi which one hundred farm-
ers wilt show their automobiles. In that
plare twenty-five men have ordered ma-
chines which the factories have been un-
able to far to deliver.
"While 2 was theer a niee-looking
automobile, driven by a farmer, came
uta to my plaee.' The farmer's wife was
with hint, and in the tonneau were two
big cans of cream. IJy man introduced
hila, and 1 asked him if he foum1.the
. utoin+sbile economical.
""1 do,' he said. 'My place is thir-
teen miles out. 1 have to go to town
every day with my cream and, to trans -
net business. Before 1 got an automo-
bile it took a day for myself and a
tram of horses to mals: the trip. N'bw 1
am in town in forty-five minutes front
the time T leave the farm.
" "I am fit then for a day's work and
my horses are tem in eond]tion to do
whatever is required of them. Three
days' work of myself and a team of
horses are thus saved each week.'
"In the old days when there was a
bet slew in the road through which a;'
loaded wagon could not .be pulled by one
team the farmers simply hitched on an-
other team and dragged it through. •Naw
these places are fixed up as on as they
develop. If they cannot be fixed any
other way they put plank bridgese over
them. Otherwise they could nit use
their automobiles. Thus they make it
easier and Ie,s expensive to get' their
heavy truck to market." ,

kissed her. "Darting, ean't you see—

this is just your natural manner of be-
having in company."---I3oston Transcript.

MOTORING FOR TUE GLORY OP GOD.
The other day, at the meeting of the
Presbytery of Hamilton; attention was
ealled to the fact that a "chetah member
and cotnmunieant" had desecrated the
Sabbath by motoring several miles to
church, although he had places of wor-
ship close at hand. The offender made
his peace by explaining that he had
motored on the Sunday "for the good of
the church and to the glory of 'God."
Twenty years ago such an irregularity
would have been censured and the cul•
prit would very likely have been excom-
municated for a season of repentance
and reformation.

Electric Roads in Sweden.
Within the near future definite plans
will be formulated for the eelctrification
of the. more important state railways of
Sweden. The first line to be taken in
hand will be, in all probability, that be-
tween ;Kiruna, the centre of the great
iron ore fields of Lapland, and Riksgran-
sen, on .the Norwegian frontier, a dis-
tanoe.of about eighty-one miles.
tThe adoption' of electric traction on
his line, far above the arctic circle and
the most northern railway in the world,
will be an event of considerable import-
ance in the history of electricity, and
cannot fail to stimulate in sharked de-
gree the demand for similar action ' in
respect of other' Swedish railways, Nor
will it be without value as a practical
illustration of the unbounded potentiali-
ties of Sweden's wealth of waterfalls,
not limited to a few specially favored
regions, but at hand and only awaiting
development to benefit every province.

It follows closely the lines of the almost

very substaptial reduction in the first cost

reduction in the cost of upkeep. When you
figura that pneumatic tires on the ordinary
auto cost on an average at Ieast 5 cents a

Growing Maidenhair Ferns.
The secret of 'the cultivation of maid-

for house or conservatory decoration,
with an ample supply for cutting, is con-
tained in a nutshell:
Not to repot unless actually needed or
division necessary to increase stock;
abundant supplies of soft rain water and
frequent feeding with stimulants during
the growing season; a lower tempera-
ture than generally accorded, with shade
from sun, and an immunity from an arid
atmosphere or cold draughts. Plants
grown as stated above are in capital,
