USE OF THE SENSES.
Habit nnd Experience Play n Part In
Seeing aud Hearing.

If we ask ourselves just how II is
that we see. hear and receive impress
sions from the senses. we shall soon
discover two things. The first is that
the explanation we see with our eyes"
1--WE hear with our ears" etc. is not
quite satisfactory. 1t is easy enough
to explain how certain rays of light
lmpingc on the rCtlna of the eye and
certain waves of air on the drum Of the
ear; but how these purely physical
things are converted into purely psy-
chical things of sight and hearing no
one can explain.
our second discovery will he that II
Is not 10y the eye alone that we see. or
by the ear alone that we hear. Mem
Ory. or. rather, experience or habit,
plays a great part In all sensations.
though We de- not often notice II. unless
our attention Is drawn to the fact 10y
some circumstance that puts experience
~ fault. and thus produces SENSE
Illusion.
Have YOU ever noticed. FOR instance.
how experience helps you to recognize
noise AT little distance frou you. you
could Instantly tell from what direction
1t came, because experience has taught
YOU TO Judge of this matter through the
very slight difference in the Intensity
of sound In your, two ears An expert

Timber Jim Shows Up.

At that time 1 was nothin but year.
lin boy-the onlyest one in the family
and my mainest runnin mate was
a niger youngster which belonged to
my father The other boy was name
Jerry, and as we was one years chill
dren, both born on the full of the moon,
the general understandin was that he
would fall to me when got old enough
TO branch off and set up business on my
own hook.
One pleasant summer day, late along
II. the shank of the evenin, a preacher
travellin through the settlement
stopped over and put up for the night
at our house. In the main time me and
Jerry we made it our personal and par
ticlar business to try every strange
horse that come along. We had to tend
to the stock and see to it that there
was plenty of corn in the troft and fod-
der in the rack, and so we reasoned to-
gether with ourselves that no strange
horse could get his board and lodgins
in our lot free gratis for ncthin. The
general fact that the horse in this case
belonged to a preacher didn't jar our
hands blame bit. he had to show
down in regards to his wind and his
speed if he had any in him. The preach.
er which we had with us that night
called his horse Timber Jim, and as we
led him down to the lot me and Jerry
made it up between us that he would
have to unite them legs and unlimber
generally somewheres before
daylight the next mornin.

Out In the Moonlight.

There was then at that time a little
short-coupled, long-legged horse on the
place which / called mine. Accordin to
the family understandin he was mine
to feed and curry and ride and claim as
my own, but still he didn't come in for
no exemptions under the general law
agin horse racin. 1 told Jerry that he
would have to ride the preachers horse
whilst l would back the little bay as
usual. Up to that time 1 never had
run up agin but one horse that could
pass by the little bay, and that was /.
roam mare which belonged to Hamp
Weaver, younger brother to Ben Chris.
1t is about the same way, 1 reckon, with
most all country boys, but in them days
L would ruther take a lickin any time
than to ride horse that couldn't lead
| the pack. 1t is human nature with
evcrybody-but boys in particlar-to
try and keep ahead and work in the
lead. You can take notice of the same
thing in old men. They most in gener-
| ally pull for the amen corner, or take
| the first seat in the front row of the
| dress circle.
So in pursuit of adjournment, me and
jerry reassembled ourselves together
down there in the horse lot at mid
| night, and now presently we had took
| the horses out and off down the old
stage road lookin for level stretch 10
run the race. The moon hit was shinin
bright as day, and when we got out in
clear openin we dismounted and got
down so l could take a good look at
Timber JIM
And as l am farmer from Farmers
vile, and natural-born southern gem
tleman, that horse was the most ugliest
and unpromisin plug had ever saw in
all of my born days. He was sway
backed, and bench-legged, and box
ankled and yew-neckcN, and slab-sided
and ragged and raw-bony. Blamed if
l couldn't hang my hat on his hip bone
and count his ribs by the pale light of
the moon. He was sluggish and sleepy
and looked like he would break up and
fall to pieces at every step he took.
Finally at last come right out and
told Jerry if he wanted to run a race on
that old horse he could do it, but as to
me wouldn't ride him in a race for love
nor money, cause was plum satisfied
he would let loose and fall down and
break his neck or mine-and maybe
both. And Jerry he was ruther skittish
about it, but by this time Timber Jim
had his ears Topped and his head hung
down like he was fixin off to sleep, and
Jerry lowed he'll be smeared if he want
goin to wake up the old crowbait if it
brung on funeral in the family-which
at that time likely young bucks such as
him was worth thousand dollars a
head.

STARS AND DISTANCES.
Some Well-Known Astronomical Facts Of
Interest.

Some Well-Known Astronomical Facts Of
Interest.
In all the heavens, with the excep-
tion of passing meteors or meteorites,
not one body occupies position closer
to earth than the moon, which is some
100000 miles away. Very far, of course,
side by side with any earthly distances,
but mere fraction side by side with
other astronomical distances. Next to
the moon, our nearest occasional neigh
Dor is Venus, and then Mars. Both
Venus and Mars, however, are often
further away from us than the sun,
which remains always at somewhere
about the same distance, roughly at
from So,ooo,o00 to $4,000, 900 miles.
This dividing space between sun and
earth is of great Importance in think
ing about the stars, and it should be
clearly impressed upon the mind. Next
to the sun in point of nearness come the
more distant planets-Jupiter, which
is about five times as far from the sun
as our earth is; Saturn, nearly twice
as far as Jupiter; Uranus, nearly twice
as far as Saturn; and Neptune, nearly
three times as far as Saturn. All these
planets belong to our sun, all are menu
bers of his family, AL are part of the
solar system. The size of the solar sys-
tenn as whole, consisting thus of the
sun and his planets, including our earth,
may be fairly well grasped by anyone
taking the trouble to master two SIM
pie facts. They are these: That our
earth is roughly about 81, 1000 900 miles
away from the sun, and that Neptune,
the outmost planet of the solar system,
is nearly 80 times as far distant from the
sun as our earth il. - Chambers Jour

Everyone has noticed the peculiar
habit of all dogs in turning round sew

idiosyncrasy is believed to be due to the

Weston Daggett, one of the best
known aeronauts in America, was
fatally injured at Astoria, Oregon,
on the 22nd of August, by an
accident similar to that which is
recorded Of Mr.. Price at Waikiki
in this paper. His parachute
would not open and he fell 1000
feet. A large fir tree broke his
fall, but the force of it mangled
, him fearfully. He was taken to
a hospital, where the doctors pro-
nounced his injuries probably
fatal. Daggett was going to
leave for Cuba the 10Th of this
month, under contract with the
Cuban iunta to operate captive
balloon for signaling purposes.
