It Is a Signal Box Which Records and Transmits All Sensation-Self Control the Key to Preserving Its EguiliLrium. The science of medicine is year after year becoming more and more perfect. Its diagnoses are more reliable, and its method of treatment is more rational. Although the brain is the chief part of the animal man, yet there are many things about the brain which scientists have not yet fathomed. But great strides have been made in that knowledge which has only within recent years been discovered and which reveals to us what the cranium really contains. Shelving what has gone be fore and what has been taught as med ical law, the following interesting data on how the brain works are now what is accepted at the present time as the correct theory: The cerebrum-front and top-is the chief part of the brain and the imme diate source of all our mental action. The gray matter of the outer surface is made up of layers of nerve cells. These are the thinking centers. Experiments have clearly demonstrated that each convolution has a special function, and if destroyed it cannot be replaced. It has also been found that the left side of the brain is more active than the right. How has that been found out? Well, if an epileptic commences a fit by twitching the right thumb or hand one would find its cause in its nerve center on the left side of the brain. It is only within the past few years that medical men are now able to make a map of the surface of the brain according to the various functions performed. All impressions received from the outer world, whether through the me dium of sight, smell, hearing, taste or touch, are carried direct to the surface of the brain and recorded in the brain cells of their respective areas, while all movements are the result of im pulses from the cells in the different motor areas. Now, there are five large sensory areas in the make up of the brain. First, sight, which is the largest, at the back of the brain. Smell, taste and hearing have their positions at the side of the head in the temporal (temples) region and Inner surface. Touch has its domicile at the top of the brain, while the large motor (giving motion) area takes up the bulk of the middle brain. These are so splendidly arranged by nature that the motor cells of the lips are in front, then those of the hand, arm and so on to the foot. To give you an example how the sensory and motor nerves work: If you touched anything hot or sharp, the impression would be conveyed to the sensory area along the nerves connected with It. The sensory cell which received the message would immediately communi cate with the motor cells to pull your hand away. Why is It easier to remember an ob ject than, say, a mathematical formula or a poem? The reason of this is that whereas the former has impressions stamped on several brain centers, such as sight, touch, smell, taste and the rest, the Inauer are stamped on centers which are not nearly so retentive as the former. In repeating poetry, for instance, it is the sound of the last line which suggests the next line, but an object presents itself to the brain centers concerned immediately. You know an apple or an orange when you see It because you are aided in distinguishing it by a set of centers which are not only more numerous, but quicker In perception. Though poetry is revived In the sight and sound centers, It is not so well fixed there as in the other case, because it calls up fewer cen ters. An apple, for instance, is stamped twice in the optic center, once as a green fruit and once as the printed word. There is an optic word center and a pictorIal or photographic center. The poem is only stamped in the for : ', as of course it Is not an object which can be pictorially represented. The brain is nothing less than a big album of photographs and other sen sory impressions. The prefrontal region may be compared to a registry offiee where certain records are kept. In the brain that particular part is the start ing place for the memory. If we wish to recall a subject, the stimulus must pass to the prefrontal or registry offie of the brain, whence the stimulus is sent to the brain cells containing the sensations to be recalled. It is lIke a signal box on a railway. Now, unless your blood be in good order the active life of the brain will be affected. Blood is the nourishing agent, and if it be of a poor kind the work it does in the way of nourishment will be of a worthless character practi cally. Poor blood is an enemy of the braIn, but happily it is not so disas trous a foe as worry. In that you have the real enemy of the braIn. Worry disorganizes the machinery of the brain and mind and is little inferior to shock. which usually paralyzes both. Worry causes irregular nerve action, and if it be continuous it produces a confusion of ideas. This depresses the cells of the brain. and the usual result is if there is no abatement in the worry complete failure of the brain's action and consequent mental disturbance. Self control is the key to preserving the equilibrium of the brain and to maintaining its natural healthy state. Pearson's Weekly. "Most UnlQue." One can hardly pick up a newspaper nowadays without seeing the vile phrase. "most unique," as "It was the most unique entertainment ever given in Podunk valley." If a thing Is unique, it is unique in the superlative degree. If it is not unique in the superlative de gree. it is not unique. To say that an accident is "one of the most unique that ever occurred" is abominable. "Very singular" is a parallel solecism. -Exchange. Two Points of Difference. "The difference between the cow and the milkman," said the gentleman with a rare memory for jests, "is that the cow gives pure milk." "There is another difference," re torted the milkman-"the cow doesn't give credit."-Indianapolis Press. I They Swapped. A little boy in Bangor, Me., was suf fering from a severe cold, and his mother gave him a bottle of cough mixture to take while at school. On is return she asked if he had taken his medicine. "No," he candidly re plied, "but Bobby Jones did. He liked lit, so I swapped it with him for a band ful of peanuts." It is Imprudent to keep ar. oil or gas stove burning In a sleeping room. They consume the oxygen and thus vitiate the ir. h Uncle Bob's Halstone Story. An old countryman I used to know when I was living in south Georgia," remarked a college professor apropos of sudden changes in the weather, "was in at least one respect a very re markable character. To a casual lis tener he appeared to be a fluent and unconscionable liar, yet when you came to scrutinize any of his statements closely it was impossible to catch him in the slightest deviation from the truth." "One day in early spring we had an unusually severe fall of hail, and next no niug while driving down the road with a friend we happened to encoun ter the old fellow at his gate. 'Well. Uncle Bob,' I said, 'that was a pretty bad hailstorm. we had yesterday.' 'I should say it was,' he replied. 'You just oughter seed some of the stones that come down in !ny back yard.' 'How big were they?' I asked. ''Bout as big as small watermelons,' said he. 'Well, we've caught him in a whopper at last,' chuckled my friend as we drove on. 'No, we haven't,' I groaned. 'As usual the old rascal has secured all the advantage of a fine, large lie and at the same time has adhered rigid ly to the truth. Look at that vine.' ';n early watermelon vine was fes tooning the bottom rail of a fence by the roadside, and here and there it was studded with minute green spheres about the size of gooseberries. My friend made no comment. I never tried to catch Uncle Bob again."-New Or leans Times-Democrat. Two Painters. During a holiday ramble Sir Fred erick Leighton came across a little roadside inn, the signboard of which was being somewhat coarsely painted by a local artist. For some little time Sir Frederick watehul the progress of the painting, till the rural artist, glanc ing down, remarked, "It he a foine day, masther?" Leighton assented, adding that a fig ure on the signboard was out of pro portion. "Wheer be it out?" asked the ag grieved artist. "I'm thinkin yer've summer wrong in yer soight." "If you get off that ladder, I'll put it right for you," replied the R. A. good humoredly. "Eh, boot can ye paint?" queried the other doubtfully. "Ye ken I dinna want my work spiled." "It's all right; I've done a little paint ing in my time," answered Leighton, as the other clambered down the lad der. Then, taking the palette, he climb ed up and commenced to paint and did not desist until he had completed the signboard. "Er, boot tha's nae so bad," was the rural artist's comment. "Art is nae so paying now; still if ye like to do mair work for me, I'll gie ye mair siller than I do as a rule." "Thanks," replied Sir Frederick dry ly. "My name Is Leighton." "Verra pleased to ken ye, Mr. Leigh ton," replied the man, ignorant of what the name meant. "My name is Tam."-St. James Gazette. One of Webster's Drinks. "Daniel Webster," said a Boston man, "as all the world knows, had a penchant for looking on wine when it glowed rosy red. At one time he was driving to Cambridge from Boston. He was billed to make a speech at the home of Harvard, and his companion in the old fashioned gig was a member of the reception committee and a resi dent of the town. "On the way to Cambridge Mr. Web ster turned to his fellow traveler with an Inquiry whether there was not some place .1 the neighborhood where they could obtain a drink. .'If you will drive a short distance out of your way to my house,' was the courteous response, 'I think I can promise you as good a drink of Jamaica rum as you ever tasted.' "To the house the twain accordingly journeyed, and once there the host, true to his promise, set before the statesman a decanter of extremely fine rum. The great Massachusetts senator poured out a brimming beaker and quaffed it off without wincing. His host tentatIvely pushed toward him the water jug, but Senator Webster after eying it a moment said: 'Thank you, no. I wanted a drink, but I am not thirsty.' He then went on to Cam bridge and delivered one of his master ly efforts." Won by His Retort. At one of their joint discussions which took place in Kentucky some years ago Tom Stuart, then editor of the Winchester Democrat, gave his op ponent, I. N. Boone, a descendant of the great Daniel, a blow that fairly knocked him out of the race for the legislature. Boone was making his regular speech, and t the proper place in it he refer red to the matter of his relation to the toiling masses. "M1y friends," said he, holding up a pair of hands that looked as if they had not been washed in a week, "to let you see for yourself that I am a horny handed son of toil, I ask you to look at these hands, and." turn ing to Stuart, "I would ask my pale faced young friend from the city what he thinks of them?"' Stuart was on his feet in a minute. "I do not desire to embarrass my dis tinguished opponent, ladies and gentle men," he said, with a bow, "but I would say that I think that they need soap and water." It was such an apparent e'ase that the crowd took hold at once with a shout, and Boone was completely floor ed, and later Stuart was elected.-Ar gonaut. A Mean Interruption. "Don't trifle with me. Mi1ss MIcCur dy!" pleaded the young man desperate ly. "Wait till I have finished. Do I need to tell you, after all these weeks, how completely and absolutely your image fills my heart? Have you not seen? Do you not know? Have I not betrayed myself by my looks, by the tones of my voice, by the eager joy. that lights up my features whenever you appear? M1ust I put in words the feelings I can no more disguise than I can" "M1r. Whitgood," interrupted the young woman, "are you in earnest?' "Glycerine SicCurdy," he said, draw ing himself up with injur'ed dignity, "do you think I'm doing this on a bet?" -Chicago Tribune. Water. Boiled water or distilled water should not be used either by grown people or children unless there is danger from contamination from the water in ordi nary use. Pure cold water is prefera ble.
