Bristol on ''Brains."
Dr. Bristol was introduced to a fair sized audience last night by Rov. E. S Inglis. Ilo opened up by an appropriate reference to the late railroad disaster and then devoted a half an hour to proving that within certain limits tho size of a man's brains had nothing whatever to do with his intellectuality. He ilso demolished completely the so called science of phrenology by showing the gro::t minds of the world have been encased in nil sizes of heads, that their owners haw had big Koman nosos and ittle pug noses, high foreheads and retreating foreheads, big jaws and little iws, in about equal proportion. The pleasure that his audience have heretofore enjoyed of judging a person's men till qualities by his countenance will be somewhat marred and they w.ll have to take Dr. Bristol's advice to measure a mind by its achievement- and uot by the •size of the brain. The remainder of the lecture was like a dozen others heard ill
Crawfordsville in the last few years, full trite truths and entertaining stories but wearisome at time.
Costs the City Nothing.
Mr. G. E Fisher, representing the N'ationa! Electric Manufacturing Company, of KauClaire, Wis., whose Evsteiu of incandescent lighting the city is now using, callod at The Jothnal ollice thiafternoon to state that the accident to tho incandescent dynamo was repaired at the company's expense and will cost the city nothing except tho inconven ience, as all apparatus manufactured by the company is guaranteed against electrical or mechanical defects for two years. Mr. Fisher is unable to account for tho accident, 11s it is the first one the ,:oinpany has had. Tho statement that it would cost the city a largo sum ol money is ridiculous, as guarantee or 110 guarantee, any reputable company in dined to treat their customers fairly would remedy a defect of this kind.
Outside of this accident the system hat given perfect satisfaction to the city and consumers.

I tun anxious to moot them. If not, let them forever hold tlioir peace. I find from tho examination of witness that tho train was not running over 30 miles an hour. Its schedule lime is 35 miles an hour. This may be too fast for tho heavy rolling stock of tho road to run over light rails. That is not my look out. We have a board of safety whose duty it is to look into such matters. The board allows tho road to run as it does and this places it all right in the eyes of the law." -v &?.(/. ,j

MY NEIGHBOR'S COW.
BELECTI0N3 FROM THE WRITINGS OF THE DANBURY NEWS MAN.
About a .Man Who Wondered W Ho Nercr Thought of Buying a Cow Oefore. I I ii I a a a a t- Nice Time.
{Copyrighted by Lee & Shcpard, Boston, and published by special arrangement with tbein.] The man across the way who enjoyed vegetables fresh from his own garden through the summer has bought a cow. His wife told liiin how nice it would be to have a cow on the promises, so as to havo milk fresh and puro every day, and always in time and always in abundance. Then they could mako butter themselves, and not eat tho rank stuff out of the Btore. She told him thero was enough stuff from the garden and table to almost keep the cow, and the product would be just about so ninch clear gain. He figured it up himself with a pencil, and the result surprised him. Ho wondered why I10 had uot kept a cow before, mid inwardly condemned himself for tho loss he had been inflicting upon himself. Then he bought a cow.
O11 tho evening of its arrival ho went out to milk it but the animal was excited by the strange surroundings, and stepped on our friend and kicked over his pail, aud nearly knocked ono of his eyes out with her tail. lie worked at tho experiment for an hour, but without any success. Then his wife came out to give advice, and his son camo Out to see the fuu. The cow put one of her heels through the woman's dress, and knocked the boy down in tho mud, which ended their interest 111 the matter. One of the neighbors milked the animal that night, and came around the next morning and showed tho man how to do it. The third day the cow escaped tho surveillance of the boy who was left to watch her, and when the man came homo at night she was. nowhere to be found. The boy had also disappeared, and our neighbor found ho was obliged to hunt her up before snpper. Ho walked around for awhile and then returned homo, but tho animal had uot been seen.
Then I10 went off again, and made a very thorough search and about 10 o'clock that night he came back with tho cow, his clothes begrimed with perspiration and dust and his face flushed aud scratched. He wanted to kick the animal's ribs in but, realizing that such a course would result in pecuniary damage, he changed his mind. Tho boy wishes he had obeyed the first impulse. On the fourth day they churned, so as to havo fresh butter for the table. The mother took hold of the dasher first, because she said sho used to do it when a girl and liked 110 better sport. She pounded away until she caught a crick in the back that doubled her up like a knife: and then she put the heir to it. He had been standing around, eagerly waiting for a chance, and grumbling be-

'.vvv
cause ho didn't get it and when the dasher was placed in his hand* he was so happy I10 could hardly contain himself. Uo pumped away for an hour at it. Then he said if lie had to do it any more he would run away and be a robber.
At noon tho man came home and learned the situation. He was a little disgusted nt the "tomfoolery," as he called it, and took hold of the churn himself and made it bounce for awhile. Then his stomach began to fall in, and his spine to tinjoint, and his shoulders to loosen. He stopped and wiped 08 tho perspiration, and looked around with a melancholy cast to his features and went at it again. The butter didn't come, however, but even-thing in the way of oratorical effect did. He got so dreadfully excited that his wife, smelling strong of camphor, took the dasher away from him and went to work herself. At this the son put his cap nnder bis jacket and miraculously disappeared. Later in the day the milk was poured around the grapevine.
On the fifth day the cow knocked down a length of fence to tho next lot and ate all the oranges from a tree that etood in a tub, and when the people attempted to drive her out sho carried away a new ivy 011 her horns, knocked down a valuable vase of flowers, and capped the ciimax bv .stumbling over a box of mosses and falling 011 a pile of hothouse frames. On the sixth day our neighbor sold his cow to a butcher, and now cats strong butter which comes from the store
