A Perisian surgeon hes discovered no new
method of developing the brain. Noti3ing
that the head of an idiotic little girl was ex-
tremely small he removed part of the skull
in order to give the brain room to expand,
it duly expanded, and the girl is now quiteas
intelligent us thereisany real necessity that it
shonld be. This successful experiment
not only shows how idiocy may be cured,
but it tvlso seems to establish the fact that a,
man's intelligence varies as the size of his
brain. If, therefore, any num wishes to in.

with a gasp and a tremor, that I was not

the brute seemed uncertain just what to do.

already influenced by that touch of neture
which makes us so wondrous kind, I bemn

making his escape.

Gentlemonliness.
Kindly feelings, quick sympathies and
gentle manners, joined with truoself,respoott
form the basis of that gentlemanliness
which is so naturally admired end coveted.
Vulgarity, which is so much dreaded and so
rnuch misunderstood, consiets in the absence
of ono or ell of these qualities. It is not
vulgar to wear a coarse coot Or a obeap
gown ; but it is essentially so to (Irons in line
cloth or costly silk at the comense of one's
creditors or one's peace of mind. It is not
vulgar to make a mistake in the laws of et-
iquette ; but it is so to sneer at the one who
makes it, to ridicule ignorance, to bonnie to
the aged, to scorn honest frugality. A true
gentleman may be poor or rich, blithe will
be neither a miser nor a squanderer ; he 11111,37
bo slenderly or thoroughly educated, but he
will be neither envioes Or supercilious ; ho
may speak tt provincial (littlest, Mit will not
use slang; he may be reserved, but will not
be miming ;he may be known or unknown
to fame, but, will be neither obsequious nor
contemptuous.
