There isa very intimate relation between brain and stomach. They tarding the secretion of fluids upon which digestion depends, On the other hand food in insufficient or in excessive quantities and indi- | gestible food affects the brain by causing slug- | gishness of thought and diminution of mental vigor. Brain and stomach cannot perform their functions to best advantage simultaneously. During the process of digestion the stomach requires more blood than at other times anda rt of thisextra supply is drawn from the Grain. If the brain ‘be’ forced to work during the period of active digestion the stomach will be deprived of a certain proportion of the blood required. Mental activity necessitates an in- creased flow of blood to the brain, and as thought is to a certain extent controlled by the will, while d n is not, it follows that when tion are carried on | the brain will always take the blood by fhe stomach, If ‘bis be habitual it soon leads to pronounced dyspepsia, ani vepep- tia’ in ite turn, by freita‘ion of the nervous eye tem, incapacitates even an abnormally vigorous in.

There are remarkable scenes sometimes in Tooms of the society on 22d street near Broad- way. One day about six weeks ago an Italian was brought in by an officer with a monkey and a raccoon, Both animals were trained to go for pennies while their owner ground a band ‘gun. People had sent in complaints to the effect that the raccoon was in a inded con- dition from bites inflicted by the monkey. During the colloquy that ensued between the organ grinder and Superintendent Hankinson the monkey, which was a very large one, sat on the superintendent's desk.
