Diphtheria, for example, increases the weight Tbe brains of newborn boys weigh on an average 371 grains, of newborn girl SCI. ' At tbe end of tbe first year tbe figures are: Boys, 607; girls, 893. By tbe end of the third year tbe weight of the train has tripled, and from this epoch, it increases very slowly, especial ly with girls. It attains lta greatest weight at about ulneteen and one-half years for men and at about aeveuteen for women. , The average weight of the brain of an adult male is 1.400 grams, of an adult female 1,275 grama. Tbe reduc- : tion of weight due to senile atrophy commences with men about the eight ieth year, with women about tbe sev entieth year.

THIS COUNTRY TODAY lf MY JUDGMENT, ARISES IN THE UNSATISFACTORY STATE OF JOURNALISM MORE THAN FROM .ANYTHING. ELSE. There are journals with' an immense sale whose v one effort is to exploit the news of the country rather, than to tell the truth. So lie is more misleading o'r .; vicious than a half statement or perversion. - n . DEMOCRACY MUST ULTIMATELY SUCCEED, FOR DEMOCRACY AND CHRISTIANITY ARE ONE; BUT DE MOCRACY AS A POLITICAL EXPERIMENT IN THIS COUNTRY MAY NOT SUCCEED AT ALL Democracy as a government has failed before, .as Mr. Lecky ably proves, and may , oT 1BU ngBJU , Dill, lUUUJU luu vvuuiijr uu mat, iuuuh; ai, tuu uu ciple of democracy must ultimately .win, for it ia God's truth. The one tiling that threatens our democracy in this country is the perverse effort to spread before the people not the truth itself, but the truth garbled, distorted When it suits the purpose of the paper, absolutely suppressed or perverted." Two parties to a strug gle by this method are each slandered to the other, any wicked, lying subterfuge adopted to make excitement, to arouse curiosity, to heat passion, and bo to make a paper sell. THE AUTHOR OP THIS SORT OF JOURNALISM ARE THE WORST PUBLIC ENEMIES IN THE LAND. THEY ARE INJECTING POI80N INTO THE Y0UNQ AND HEALTHY VEINS OP A GREAT PEOPLE. ' - ' . ' Millions have been spent in colleges and millions in libraries, and the money has been well spent. Sure as you live, the time is at hand when f arseeing men will come forward prepared to spend mil lions in placing the truth, so far as it can be ascertained, before the people of these United States the truth about politics, the truth about finance, the truth about art, the truth about business a true statement of the news of the world, not to bolster up a cause, not to make' a fortune, not to push a party, but the truth for its own take because the cause of humanity, which is the cause of democ racy, can live by nothing else than the truth, i , t i , , ISp?l Correspondence. 1 : ' ;K Washington, Dee. l&t-Secrttary Uny. who, tj tbe way, baa hnd much of lite to ruffie bJa temper In connection with the negotiation oJa Panama, .canal treaty with tbe Colombian government.
