How to Take Care of the Brain.

The brain stands most abase of any organ in the body. The best tonic and stimulant is success. The'eworst and most depressing thing to it is failure. The most injurious effects come by using stimulants in early life. Young people should never use liquors, tea, or coffee. The latter two may not exactly do harm, but they are conducive of no good. They act mostly on the brain and injure its growth very materially. Abundance of sleep is necessary. Eight hours is not more than enough. Sleep is the time of relatively lowered expenditure aud increased repair. Prof. Cohn, of Breslau, has found that the heating of hay to a point of spontaneous combustion is due to a fungus. He first studied heating barley, finding that the temperatui-e ol this is raised about 40 degrees by tho process of germination, and that a rise of more than 60 degrees is caused by Aspergillus fiimigatus, which acts as a ferment.
