THE GEORGIA CRACKER, SATURDAY JANUARY 25
Brain Weights.
The average weight of a Scotchman's
brain is sixty ounces, an Englishman’s
forty-nine, a Frenchman’s a little over
forty-five. The weight of Dutch, Frisi
an, Italian and Lapp brains come near
that of the flngiiahmah; while the .Ger
man brain is in many instances heav
ier. The Polish brain is forty-seven
ounces. Among Hindoo and other races
in India it is from forty-one to forty-
four ounces, but Mussulmans average
more and the Khonds, one of the abo
riginal races of India, much less—not
quite thirty-eight ounces. Traveling
toward China, the brain weight of the
tribes there settled Increases. In Afri
ca the average weight is from forty-
three to forty-eight ounces; in America
that of the Indian averages forty-seven
ounces; in Australia from forty to for
ty-two ounces.

' DISINFECTING A SHIP.
Moist Heat, a Tlioroagli Germicidal
__ Agent, Is Used. •-
When the vessel has tied up to the
wharf in New Orleans, the first step is
the removal of the bedding* clothing
and cushions and other cloth fabrics to
the quarantine shed. Here they are
hung on a framework consisting of a
- series of racks suspended fronf a long
car Tunning oju a track and so arranged
that when the' racks are filled the*
whole thing may be run inside one of
the three great disinfecting cylinders
ivith which the station is equipped.
These cylinders' are enormous steel
boilers fifty feet in length by eight feet
In diameter and fitted inside with con
tinuous coils of steam pipe. The cylin
ders are covered with asbestus arid
swathed in felt, and when the cylinder
caps are on tiiey are airtight; When
the clothing has been placed inside and
the cylinders closed, dry heat is forced
through the pipes at a temperature of
180 degrees, and this is followed by
moist heat raised to a temperature of
230 degrees. THe pressure of from six
to eight pounds put upon this steam
heat is sufficient to force it through
heavy mattresses or bundles of cloth
ing.
After a period which varies from
thirty minutes to an hour the cylinders
are opened, the racks are run out, and
the rapid evaporation which follows
causes the clothing to dry almost im
mediately. The clothing is unharmed
by this process, and the moist heat is a
thorough germicidal agent. It Is an in
teresting fact that if a freshly launder
ed linen shirt or collar is put into the
cylinder it will emerge thoroughly
moist and apparently in need of anoth
er starching. The evaporation is so rap
id, however, that it is immediately re
stored to its original condition, not
even the gloss being removed.—Leslie’s
Monthly.
ONE OF WOMAN’S WAYS
She Hates to Pay Oat Bills That Are
Clean and Crisp.
“Most women hate to ^spend new

“I haven’t the faintest idea why this
should be so, but I’ve noticed it often
right here in the store.
“A woman will make a purchase and
pull out her purse to pay the bill, but if
she happens to have to part with a
clean,, crisp note in making np the
amount she looks greatly annoyed. I’ve
seen women with fat wads of bright
brand new bills flustered when they
came to pay. for purchases because
they hadn’t sufficient Old money to
meet the charges. They would dig out
the contents of their purses and stow
the crisp notes to one siderand if they
couldn’t scrape np the sum in a few
cases I’ve known them to go out with

The Three Ages of the West.
Twenty-five years ago potatoes
were so high in price in certain
towns of the Rocky mountains
that the merchants handling them
often reserved the right to retain
the peelings, which^ in turn, were
sold for planting purposes, the
eyes of the potatoes thus having a
considerable commercial value,
/ .
obviously in proportion to the dis
tance from the nearest railroad
or steamboat line. This situation
could not forever endure. There
must come a day when we could
afford to throw awav our peelings,
and throw them away cut thick
and carlessly. Equally true is it
that the time is cpming in Amer
ica when'we shall gather up our
iota to.peelings and cherish them.
There you have the three ages of
the West. Another* instance of
changed standards iff the West
may be seep in the revolution as
to petty prices. Up *o twenty
years ago, in most Rocky moun
tain communities, the quarter dol
lar was the smallest coin in circu
lation. "With the railroads came

The lantern on the rickshaw is a
characteristic detail of the night pic
ture of Yokohama.
It is a series of
brilliant dashes.of color under a cloud
less, starlit sky, fanned by a soft
breeze which seems half of the sea and
half of the tropics, with smiling, doll-
like people gliding about everywhere.
It hardly seems real. It Isn’t fairyland
exactly, because fairies are not sup
posed to be always as picturesque as
are these Japanese. Certain it is that
few things anywhere in the round
world can be more beautiful than lan
tern lighted Yokohama.
As the occidental crosses the bridge
over the canal from the.foreign quar
ter and enters the native city he sees
a bewildering maze of lights. Through
out Yokohama gas lamp posts are few
and far-between, a fact which makes
the lantern illumination all the more
conspicuous. They are not hung at reg
ular heights or intervals, but make a
sort of tangle of soft colored lights
over the front of the buildings and
even across the street.—New York

To the list of cases published
in our last issue under tbe above
title may be added Bridges vs.
Shallcross, 6 W. Va. 562. An Ar-
kansas correspondent informs, us
of a truly remarkable "case whifeh
arose in that state a few years ago
in which he was counsel for the
defense. A man by the name of
Driver was tried for stealing five
hogs belonging/to a Mr. Pig. One
of the witnesses was named Ham*
the prosecuting attorney’s name
was Chew, and the counsel for the
defense were Miles & Miles. Our
correspondent desires to know
whether if Driver drove Pig’s hogs
for Miles & Miles the Ham would
be fit to Chew? We suspend judg
ment. :
