A TlHMiatii llf.a.urfiir Machine.
Dr. J, K. MfKatterell bus constructed
an ingenious apparatus ( by which be can
’determine, with n considerable degree
'(if accuracy, the time it takes to think,
and has experimented with many inter
esting mailt*, fie has shown that to
see a piece of white paper and be con
scious of the fact takes one-twentieth of
a second; to see a picture takes out-tenth
of a second; to see a letter of common
print, one-eighth of a second; to seen
fnll word, one-seventh of a second; to be
able to jndge lietween red and bine, one-
thirteenth of a second.
Hu bus also proved that to see some
words mid letters requires more time
than others. By this same machine,
with some added pieces of mechanism,
the time of remembering tan also be ac
curately measured. According to the
learned M. D. and his curious little ma
chine, it takes much less time to remem
ber the name of a familiar word than it
does the name of a letter, and we are
all supposed to be very well acquainted
with the names of the lexers of the al
phabet. This seems strange, esiiecially
when we take into consideration the
fact that vve can see the letter ill less
time than we cmi the word.
The name of the next month to come
can lie thought of in less time than that
of the last. This machine also shows
that sensations travel by the nerves to
the braiu at the rate of one mile per
minnte, lunch slower than lias been sup
posed.—St. Louis Republic.
Lincoln'* Pnce and the Artists.
Lincoln's features were the despair of
every artist who uudertook his portrait.
The writer saw nearly a dozen, one after
another, soon after the firet nomination
to the presidency, uttewpt the task,
They put into their pictures the large,
rugged features, and strong, prominent
Ttnee; they made measurements to ob
tain exuct proportions; .they ’’petrified"
tbme single look, bat the picture re
mained hard and cold. Even before
these paintings were finished it was
plain to,see that they were. unsatisfac
tory to the artists themselves, and much
more so to the intimate friends of the
man—this was not he who smiled, spoke,
luughgd, charmed. The picture was to
the man as the grain of sand to the
mountain, as the dead to the living.
Graphic art was powerless before a
face that moved through a thousand
delicate gradation* of line dud contour,
light and shade, sparkle of the eye uud
curve of the lip, in the long gamut of
expression from grave to guy, and back
again from the rollicking jollity of
laughter to that serions, far away look
that with prophetic intnitions beheld
file awful panorama of war.—J. G. Nic-
play in Century.
Cruelty to Lobster*.
It is singular how the cruel practice
of boiling lobster* alive continues. Our
forefathers—and, indeed, our parents—
let, calves bleed slowly to death, on the
theory that in no other way could white
meat be secured, and later on calves
were bled one day and killed the next.
Now every one knows that a calf can be
killed lit a humane manner and the veal
made just as good. Hogs are largely
killed by electricity instead of by the
old barbarous method; and, generally
speaking, animals killed for food have
been put ont of the way in a much more
humane manner than formerly. Bnt
lobsters are still tortured out of exist
ence, the only difference being that,
while formerly they were exclusively
boiled to death, now some are boiled
and some broiled. Which process causes
the most agony no one can say.—St.
Lonis Globe-Democrat
The Broncho.
The genuine broncho pony is a won
derful product of our western prairies.
He is the great friend of the Indians and
the invaluable companion of the cow
boys, from whom he has received hii
various descriptive terms of the “kicking
broncho," tho “bucking bronclio” and the
■'stubborn broncho." These terms have
become so closely associated with the
pony that one can hardly imagine the
existence of a broncho minus all of these
negative virtues. Yet when kindly treat
ed they make stanuch friends, and unless
provoked to it they will hold their bad
qualities in reserve until some stranger
comes near them.—New York Epoch.

KEEP YOUR BLOOD PURE.
One of the most frequent and insidious
causes of bad health is Impure blood.
This disorder of the system does not
always manifest itself ontwardly by
sores, eruption*, etc., quite often the
soradess is altogether internal. The kid
neys feel sore, the liver feels sore, the
lungs feel sore, and a decay setsit that
too often ends fatally. It is much more
serious for blood poison to manifest it
self internally than externally. In such
cases negleet means death, for the vital
organs once contaminated grow worse
and they will

fail to give relief, (his remedy always

stores the blood.to a state of absolute

watery expeqtoratlou and thin watery
discharge from the nose, not one of them
would ever forget what the firet symp

then be given Chamberlain’s Cough

even a severs cold could be cured la one
or two days, or at least greatly miti
