Take twenty square yards of sand and pebbles, stir lu sufficient clay to ' make a compact water tight mass. . ram down hard aud score tbe surface I witb a rake. Add carefully ten pack- j ets of seeds of the most magnificent flower known that will grow anywhere and under any conditions, throwing up i a continuous succession or enormous flower trusses from March to Novem ber, each etai five Inches across and of the richest aud most glowing tints. This Is tbe commonest of all flowers and will be found listed on any page of any florist's catalogue. Set the whole out to rise, keeping It moist and warm. After allowing tbe mass to rise four months sprinkle red spiders and green aphides plentifully over tbe top and soak well wltb tears. The net result may be preserved In a small bottle of alcohol for future ref erence. Philadelphia North American. j An Open Air Hotel.

Tonr achievement will higher than your faith. never rise ' Nothing ta little that bt our dnty. and a ratumoR life with bomely surround ings Is tbe beet discipline for moat C us. l major divisions, which, though Inti mately connected, are severely dis tinct as to function. Named Irom below upward these parts are the medulla, pons, midbrain, cerebellum and cerebrum. All parts of the brain are permeated by ner.n libeit and are therefore concerned In the transmission of irerve impulses, but at least three parts are primarily oc cupied .-It h other business The medulla, which is the etalk-like con nection between the brain and the spinal cord, contains nuclei of nerve cells, which propel the heart, lungs, blood vessels and so on. Tbe pons is a broad band of fibers, which serves to connect the right and left sides of the base of the brain. The midbrain is the forked upward ex tension of tbe medulla, a prong pass ing into each of the great hemis pheres of the cerebrum, and, like the pons, the midbrain is chiefly a con ducting portloa of Uie brain. The cerebellum, or "little brain," lies un der the back part of the cerebrum and on top of the pons. It Is the regulator of voluntary muscular mo tion. An aniiaal deprived of its eel ebellum can move, feel and think. but cannot control Its movements. Finally, we come to the cerebrum, the largest division of the brain, which overhangs the other four di visions in the form of two big con voluted hemispheres divided by a deep longitudinal fissure. In these hemispheres reside the physical me chanism of consciousness reason, feeling, will. Here, let us observe, that of the five parts of the brain, only one, the cerebrum, has to do with the intellect. In fishes the cer brum is tho smallest part of the brain. Accordingly, though the whale has a larger brain than man, most of the brethren of Jonah are possessed of higher intelligence than is exhibited by the largest of fishes. The whale has more brains, but man has more cerebrum. A cross section of the cerebrum shows that this part of the brain is made up of a large core of white nerve fibers and a comparatively thin rind of nerve cells or gray matter. In animals of low intelligence, ro dents, for example, the coating of gray matter is comparatively smooth over the surface of the cerebrum But in higher animals the gray mat ter is seen to dip down into grooves and fissures now and then an arrange ment which requires more gray mat ter to cover a brain of given size than is required to cover the smooth brain of a rat. In man the infolding of gray matter Is carried to a high degree of complexity. But in idiots the brain is smoother and less con voiuted than in intelligent men Consequently an imbecile might have a larger cerebrum than a bright man, but less gray matter. The brains of children are less convolut ed than those of their elders. Another feature of the case is that the amount of cerebration is largely dependent upon the amount of blood circulating in the cerebrum. An indl vidual possessed of a large and well convoluted cerebrum might be so handicapped by a feeble heart and poor nutrition as not to measure up to the average mental standard. The average white man's brain weighs from 49 to 50 ounces. More delicate of frame and faculty, the members of the fair sex come next with an average brain weight of 43 to 45 ounces. The smallest human brains are found in Central Africans And the average civilized Infantile brain, at birth, weighs from 10 to 1 2 ounces, a brain mass much great er in proportion to the body than ob tains in the adult. Some ef the largest brains on rec ord belonged to lunatics. Several of these weighed upward of 60 ounces, and one weighed 64 1-2. If, however, a large brain does not necessarily mean a large intelli gence, it certainly does not necessa rily Indicate a small intelligence. An excessively small cerebrum nearly al ways is associated .with Idiocy, and contrariwise, some of the greatest intellects have resided In excessively Jarre brains. Cuvler, who did to roufh for comparative anatomy and philosophy, had brain which weigh ed 64 1-1 ounces; the' brain of Dan iel Webster weighed 63 ounces, as did that of Abercromble, the great Scotch authority on the brain and nervous system, : and both "Byron and Cromwell bad abnormally heavy brains, showing marked evidence of disease. ' And, finally, the colonel appears to nave a rather larre brad himself. , A SKALED BOOK. II K i . Is That What tbe Bible Is Becoming j to This Generation. "A few years ago I was speaking on political reforms In one of the great cities of the United . States," writes Dr, Lyman Abbott in the Out look. "On the platform were some of the first citizens of the city. "I took up the pocket Bible which I generally carry with me Wherever I go and saying, 'I have here an old book which is a favorite with me,' proceeded to read Jotham'a parable' of the tree's from the Book of Jud.es. , "A friend of mine, a teacher of ge ography in a large secondary school, all of whose pupils come from culti vated families and many of them from church-going families, asked her class of fifty members If tbey could recall any well known histori cal incident connected with Egypt. "Getting no reply, she hinted at the fact that the Jews came out of Egypt and attemed to recall them the story of Joseph, but not one of tbem could give her any account of it, and came to her afterward, pus- tied to know what the Bible had to do with geography. "Another friend of mine, a teach er In a church Sunday school of a girl's class, all of whom were daugh ters of church-going parents and all of whom had been for some years In Sunday school classes, asked her class why Pharaoh sought to kill Moses, and got for reply that it was at tbe time of the birth of Jesus and Pharaoh attempted to put all tbe ba bies to death. To this answer all the pupils except one agreed. "Pome years ago two ladies in a western town were coming out of a concert hall where -the cantata of 'Queen Esther' had been given. One was overheard saying to the other: 'That was a very beautiful story: I wonder where the composer found It?' And the other did not know." MEXICAN BOLL WEEVIL. Railroads Are Laying Plans to Find Best Method of Growing Cotton in Spite of tbe Insect. Special to The Gazette. Washington, Nov. 4. Practical steps are being taken by the South ern Railway Company, the Alabama Great Southern Railroad Company, and the Mobile & Ohio Railroad Co. to co-operate with the officials of the United States Agricultural Depart ment and tbe State Commissioners of Agriculture in advising farmers, in the territory along the lines of these railways which may eventually be reached by the Mexican cotton boll weevil, as to tbe best methods of growing cotton in spite of the presence of that insect. The exper ience of the farmers In Texas, where the weevil has been for some years, demonstrates that, by the adoption of proper methods, practically as large yields of cotton can be obtain ed as before the appearance of the weevil. In most localities in Texas the invasion of the weevil has gen erally been followed by short crops for two or three years until the far mers have learned how to deal with the insect. J For the purpose of making the co operative work of the companies as effective and helpful as possible, an organization has been perfected to be known as the Cotton Culture Depart ment of the Southern Railway, the Alabama Great Southern Railroad, and the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, with a view to encouraging the adop tion of the most improved methods in advance of the appearance of the weevil. This, it is felt, will have the effect of maintaining the normal pro duction of cotton. Last Friday The Gazette pub lished an item about a large sweet potato of the Haiti variety grown by Mr. Miles W. Henna and weighing 7 pounds. Since then we have receiv ed one which goes the Hanna potato one better. It Is of the same variety and waa grown by Mr. S. T. White sides, of route one. It weighs 7 1-4 pounds. WASH THAT ITCH AWAY.
