Some Interesting Facts Presented in .Connection with thc Human Brain. The human brain Is the most mar velous machino lu the world, says Harpers' Magazine. It occupies less space in proportion to its capabili ties than any machine lt ever in vented. It sends a special nerve to every ultimate fiber of some 500 muscles, to many thousand branching twigs -of arteries, to every pinhead area of the numerous glands which keep the machine properly oiled, heated or cooled; to some sixteen square feet -of skin, which is the outpost guard of its castle, with which complete ness that the point of a pin cannot lind an area unguarded. It possesses special quarters for tho reception and translation of a constnnt stream of vibration that jre the product of all things movable or still In the outer world. On tho ret ina of every open eye ia a picture of the outer view, a focused imprint of every ray of light and color; and In the visual chamber of tho mental pal ace stands a vibrascope, a magic lan tern, that receives the retina picture in its billion speeding series of light waves and throws upon them its inun tat screen as a living moving picture of light and shade and color. in the chamber of sound is a vi braphone, over whose active wires liasses every wave of sound, from the dripping of Hie dew to ibo orchestral fortissimo, from the raucous screech of the locomotive to the sighing of the wind through the meadow grass. In the chambers set apart for scent and taste and touch are the secret service guards to report upon the air and food which gives sustenance to the palace and upon the solid quali ties of tile tactile world.

Hann Business as Old Systeiu. Dui lng the quarter ending March 31 tin- county dispensaries in South Carolii a sold $970,964.01 worth of whisk?/ in twenty-four counties, of which ono !'us since gone dry. On this business an average profit of 39 per cent was made, the total profit being $268,941.08. This is at the rate of over ono million dollars a year profit. According to the statement re cently prepared by Comptroller Gen eral .iones the State dispensary dur ing its thirteen years of business paid Into the State Treasury for all purposes the sum of $1,515,107.57. The proportion of profit paid to the counties and towns varied at dif ferent times, but the total profit of tho State dispensary business, even when there were dispensaries In forty-one counties, did not reach oue million dollars per year, or thirteen million dollars In the thirteen years that it was In operation. According to the report made by Dispensary Auditor West to Gover nor Ansel at the close of the fiscal year the total amount of sales by the coun . dispensaries during the nine and o raction months they were ope rated in 1907 was $2,691,663.43, on which the net profit declared was 1695,056.61. The business for a full year or twelve months, runs easily in excess of three million dollars, which was the high water mark for the State dispensary, while the profit of the county dispensary system for twelve months runs In excess of one million dollars, which the State dis pensary never did attain, though Its founder predicted it would. Though there aro now dispensaries in only twenty-four counties the profit from the co'irly dispensary system is pro portionately so much greater than from the State dispensary, ana lt is distributed between the county and towns, that as a revenue producer tho county dispensary is going to prove more popular than the old system, and for that reason, If ?or no othet. lt Is more difficult to vote lt out than lt was to close the coun ty dispensaries under the so-called Brice act under the State dispensary regime, when prejudices and antag onism to the State dispensary had something to do with the large pro hibition vote caat in several counties of the State.

Exercise that brings into action every muscle of the body is absolute ly necessary In the attainment of health and perfect physical develop ment. Tired brain workers especially need exercise to renew the supply of blood in the brain, for new blood will glvo clear thought and now ideas. To avoid that "all in" feeling after any violent or unusual exercise, Sloan's Liniment should be used as a rub-down. Harry K. Gillman, Instructor of athletics, 417 Warren street, Rox bury, Mass., writes: "During my con nection with athletics and athletes, will say that" I have used Sloan's Lin iment in extreme cases of fatigue af ter physical exertion, where an ordi nary rub would not prove beneficial, with splendid success. I have also used it in massaging elderly men afflicted with rheumatism.
