STUDY ALL YOU MAY. j THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A ' "TIRED BRAIN." c c t When a Man Thinks* His Drain Is s Tired, It Is Really His* Stomach s That Is Overfed or Some Other VI- 2 tal Point That Is Weakened. ^ a Every man should have impressed I upon him the fact that the liumah t brain is capable of absolutely unliniit- i ed development. It can be developed * more easily, more permanently than \ the muscles. Like the muscles, it is t developed by exercise, but uulike thein t thera is no limit to its possible develop- c ment and there is no age limit to the i growth of mental faculties. t If you go to a certaiu hotel in Chi- 1 cago you 'will lind at the door of the 1 large dining room a colored gentleman " who takes your bat, overcoat and urn- | brella. He gives you no ticket. When I you walk out again, to your intense p amazement he hands you your prop- ? erty, identifying you among hundreds a of other guests and immediately as- b sociating you with the prpper hat and coat. [ In a big store in Twenty-third street, a New York city, a small negro lad, 14 y or 13 years old, works for a living, b One day at that store this writer asked c for a book apimreutly seldom purchased. Various dignified white men were asked about the book. They thought that they did not have it, but to make, sure they asked the colored ^ boy. Without a moment's hesitation he pointed out a certain bilcony on the east side of the store and told ex- q actly where the small volume could be j. found. Every one of the thousands ,{ of books in that store was located in a j( definite spot in that young negro's ^ mind, despite the fact that he probably ^ bad seen the insides of very few of + me >uiuujcr. | The two instances quoted are not ^ unusuaL They indicate merely the e most superficial sort of development of a one particular mental faculty, that of v recollection. A more remarkable in- j. stance of such development was shown ^ by Houdin, the French prestidigitator. He could pass a shop window coutaiu- g ing perhaps scores of different articles, n east a glance at the window as he f weat by and enumerate without error t everything in it from that one glance. ^ Some men learn a score or more of languages. e Yet the greatest development of any v human brain has never taxed even to p the slightest degree the actual capacity of the mind. ' u No matter to what extent you may t( train your mental faculties, no matter T bow much you may use your brain, you t, will still be like the mau who has spent . 5 or C cents and has a million doilaVs in the bank. p We are justified in believing that we ^ are destined to marvelous mental ^ achievements in the future, when we j consider the instrument of thought; that has been given to us and which Is so little used at present. gJ A scientist uamed Meinert calculates ^ that the gray matter of the brain contains 600,000*000 cells. u That in itself seems quite complicated. If we only had one thought stored away in each cell, we would kuow ^ quite a good deal. But you must remember that each cell is divided into several thousand molecules separately divisible. A Every one of these molecules contains many millions of atoms. Unquestionably each separate atom plays V Its part in the working of the brain, li Figuring on a very modest basis, you Q find that your brain contains 18,000,- w 000,000,000,000,000 separate atoms. t| The theory that the atom is an indi- t visible particle of matter, which is indicated by its- name, meaning uncutible, is only a theory not by any means u demonstrated. There is no reason to " believe tnat mere is any mint 10 iue universe in the direction of bigness or t< littleness. What we call an atom may I be in effect an indivisible particle of d matter or it may be a small universe I in itself. However this may be, don't Q you think that with a brain organized f as above you ought to be able to develop a good deal of mental energy and be quite free from any worry about overworking the machine which has been given to you to do your thinking? t When a man thinks his'braiu is tired, ' it is really his stomach that is overfed ' or some other vital point that is deplet- t ed or overloaded. Keep the rest of n yonr body in good condition, and your brain will never feel any amount of . work that you will be able to give it.? a New York Journal. \ The Practical Joke. The practical joke is a remnant of barbarism. Hunted back to its origin, it is a survival of the methods of tor- v ture in vogue with savages the world over. The idea behind every practical s joke is the infliction of pain, shame, fear or ridicule upon the victim. It is c not often that tragic effects follow a joke, repeating the news chronicles of g the daily press, but when one reflects that the real object of every alleged "joke" of the practical kind is simply to inflict physical or mental pain upon * some one it seems as if it must be time, i by the clock of the ages, for the prac- 3 tice to end, at least among civilized and half civilized people. ?

"The mere act of getting a war vessel into the water costs a lot of money, time and trouble," said an engineer, speaking of the recent launching of several new torpedo boats. "I spent a year and a half in the designing room of the Cramps' yard." he continued, "and happen to know what 1 am talking about. Of course *tbc launehiug of a little torpedo boat is comparatively easy, and the cost is not over a few hundred dollars, including flowers and souvenirs and even the bottle of chain pagne used in the christening. But when it conies to a big armored cruiser or a first class battleship it is a horse of a different color, and the actual expense seldom falls below $4,000 or $5,000. I've known it to go as high as $8,000. "The building of the ways for the ship to slide down over is the main item, aud then comes the greasing. Every inch of timber over which the vessel slides must be covered with a lubricant. Different firms use different substances, but soap aud tallow form the main ingredients of them all. At the Cramps' we used a layer of beef tallow and a layer of soft soap, and, taken altogether, between 1 and lMi tons of the stuff were required to put a move on the average battleship. The tallow is spread on first to the depth of about three fingers, and the workmen use big flat trowels to make the surface as smooth as possible. Then they pour over the soft soap, which Is Just thick enough to run, or about the consistency of tar. "As a general thiug. the double coating answers the purpose admirably, and the ship glides into the water as if it was sailing on air. If it sticks, as has happened in a few cases, it is likely to spring some of its plates, and accidents of that kind are so costly that nothing is spared to avert them."?New Orleans Tidies-Democrat. A Missionary Antidote.

They were singing a favorite gospel hyuin and as the sound of their voices floated across the water one of the passengers on the tender, a manufacturer from Birmingham, suddenly burst into tears. "Isn't that a noble, an inspiring, almost a 'arrowing sight?" he exclaimed, dropping a tear and an h at the same time. "I wouldn't 'ave missed seeing them noble creatures going out to meet their fate in the field of foreign missions?not for ?3 note, I wouldn't." "Have you any relatives among them?" asked another passenger sympathetically. "Oh, uo; no relatives," wailed the man from Birmingham. "But we are all brethren in religion, and the sight of their departure touched me deeply. I shall pray night and morning that their ship may have a safe passage." "But if you're not related to any of them I don't quite see why you're so anxious," said a flippaut young man.

Tin nk eleiks fronei-allv look so sleek and comfortable and are aim-. st invariably so well groomed tliat their grievances rarely receive patient hearing. One who was recently dismissed for the terrrible crime of smoking a pipe in a city cafe during one of tlie hours sacred to what is called by city courtesy lunch writes, giving a list of restrictions which he declares are absurd. No clerk Is allowed to smoke a pipe in the streets during banking hours or at lunch. The average clerk's salary is not so very high, but nevertheless lie must wear a silk liat and cane to the office, dressed as one with double tin? salary* Wearing a cap to business is not to be thought of, as it is an unpardonable offense in the eyes of the bank officials. The salary of the average bank clerk ranges from about l*S shillings a week, ; but in many banks the salary is uiuch lower and the chances of promotion very small. 1 A clerk's money is greatly diminished by bis having to subscribe to numerous fund:?, such as a "sports" fund, to keep ' the cricket or football grounds in order, which he himself is never able to see. Saturday is no holiday for Liim. as he does not leave the office on ti>osc days until about 4 or 5 o'clock. It must not be supposed that the day's work of a bank clerk ends with the closing of the bank to customers. In fact, it only begins at that time.? London Express. MAGNETIC HEALING.
