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. For Bala.

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 rem- that equals Dr. John Bull's Sarsaparilla, as a curative agent in cases of blood poi son.

If some scholar, who had just contracted a cold, was brought before the school, so that all could hear the dry, loud cough and know Its significance; see the thin white coating on the tongue, and later, as the cold developed, see the profuse watery expeqtoratlou and thin watery discharge from the nose, not one of them would ever forget what the firet symp tom! of a cold were. The scholar should then be given Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy freely, that all might see that even a severs cold could be cured la one or two days, or at least greatly miti gated, when properly treated as soon xs the first symptoms appear.
