The Gift Of The Magi

One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one's cheeks burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty- seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.

There was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it. Which instigates the moral reflection that life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.

While the mistress of the home is gradually subsiding from the first stage to the second, take a look at the home. A furnished flat at $8 per week. It did not exactly beggar description, but it certainly had that word on the lookout for the mendicancy squad.

THE LOVING MOTHER, MALINI is IN BED, thinking about a SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN because of FEAR and having a RECURRING DREAM about the WORN PATH that led her straight near the POPLAR FIELD where she found THE LOST DOLL that was lost after the THREE DAY BLOW whereas THE GARDENER was UNCHOPPING A TREE, ON THE VANITY OF EARTHLY GREATNESS and KEEPING THINGS WHOLE by chasing a CONCRETE CAT after THE NIGHTMARE LIFE WITHOUT FUEL that continued him to LOOK AT THE TEACUP that he got by making THE HOUSE CALL when his HEART LEAPED UP by hearing THE SPEAKING OF CHILDREN and then gave response --- OOPS! HOW'S THAT AGAIN?

The brain knows what the nose smells, but how?

Mice know fear. And they know to fear the scent of a predator. But how do their brains quickly figure out with a sniff that a cat is nearby?

It's a complex process that starts with the scent being picked up by specific receptors in their noses. But until now it wasn't clear exactly how these scent signals proceeded from nose to noggin for neural processing.

In a study to be published in Nature, Stanford researchers describe a new technique that makes it possible to map long-distance nerve connections in the brain. The scientists used the technique to map for the first time the path that the scent signals take from the olfactory bulb, the part of the brain that first receives signals from odor receptors in the nose, to higher centers of the mouse brain where the processing is done.
