What Sleep Is Scientifically.

The great German scientist, Herr
Rosenbaum, says that the anemic
condition Of tho brain Is due to an
excess Of water in the cells of that
body-a sort of water on the brain.
Sleep, according to bis theory. Is es-
pecinlly a matter Of nervous action
the fatigue of the nerve cells which
communicate with the heart and
bring about change in the circula-
tion. The nervous cells are full OF
water when sleep comes on, which
during sleep passes into the venous
blood as waste, while the nerve cells
receive nourishment from fresh ar,
terial blood. When the process is en-
troly, over the sleeper awakes, unless
he is disturbed sooner.
According to Rosenbaum's theory,
sleep is not only healthy because Of
tho rest 1t gives the entire body, but
actually invigorating in itself. Those
who have imagined that slumber was
simply quiet and rest for an over
worked and fatigued mind or body
will be surprised to learn that the
scientists are divided in opinion as to
whether it is pressure on the brain,
similar to vertigo and other attacks
which produce inconsistencies, or a
mild form of hydrocephalus. New

Aluminium Paint.

It is stated that aluminium, when
reduced to powder and mixed with
solution in water of gum lac, gives q
metallic paint which covers well and
may be shaded with anilire colors
dissolved in water The solution Of
gum lac is made by bringing to boil
Ing point n mixture of gum lac and
borax and an alkali such as soda or
ammoniac. The solution must con-
tain at least from Is to 20 per cent
Of gum lac. Aniline colors are add
ed to produce the shade desired, and
aluminium is added in sufficient
quantity to produce q paint suffi-
ciently fluid for application with a
brush. The color is brilliant, very
durable and impermeable and may
be applied to metals, paper, wood
and wooden materials. 1t may be
rendered supple by the addition of a
small quantity of glycerin.-St.

A Remarkable Case of Psychic Power.

a StSe oh SyChiC SOWcTs
A friend of mino who is quite well
known in literary circles, but who is
not willing that her name be given,
related to me a short time ago a
striking experience. She requested
a friend In whom she had great con
fdence and who possessed certain
degree of physic power 10 try and
see where she was and wha. she was
doing on a certain evening. The two
individuals were many hundred miles
apart. The friend in striving to 40
complish this feat fell into pro-
found trance, in which he was found
by friends, who thought him dead
and had him medically treated.
When he recovered, he wrote his
friend, saying: "At such an hour you
were in your room. A visitor was
announced. He was a person l had
never seen, but l viii describe him
to YOU" He then gave detailed de-
scription of the caller. All the facts
were exactly as stated.-Arena.

English View Of Our Cooks.

The American is an admirable cook
in theory; in practice indeed he
may fail. The rush of modern ideas
Is too great for him. The sewing ma
chine, the reaper and the corn ele-
vator take up too much time. TiaE
application of electricity and steam
to the arts of peace and the ever pres
ent cares brought on him by the
working of the finest constitution in
the world distract him from his boil
ing and his baking. He has indeed
the same interesting reason for neg
lecting his clam chowder and his
baked pork and beans, that most in.
genious and admirable of all Amel1-
can kitchen products, that our King
Alfred had for letting his hostess
cakes burn-immersion in the poll
itics of his country.
Nevertheless the native born Amer
ican has invented greatly. Clam
chowder itself, as mere work Of
art, reflects as much credit on his
nation as vol au vent a financiere
brings honor to France.-Black and

How to Get Warm.

It may not be generally known
that when exposed to severe cold q
feeling of warmth is readily created
by repeatedly filling the lungs to
their utmost extent in the following
manner: Throw the shoulders we'll
back and hold head well up. In
fate the lungs slowly, the air en-
te1ing entirely through the nose.
When the lungs are completely
filed, hold the breath for 10 seconds
or longer and then expel it quickly
through the mouth. After repeat
ing the exercise while one is chilly q
feeling of warmth will be felt over
the entire body, even in the feet and
hands. 1t is worth While practieing
this exercise many times each day
and especially when In the open air.

That Long Islanders are hot wholly
devoid Of hun4or, which has been
charged against them, is clearly
demonstrated by recent occurrence
at Riverhead, the Suffolk county
seat.
It seems that the local debating So
ciety had under consideration the
old topic, Whether there is greater
pleasure derived from anticipation
than from realization7 This weighty
subject was discussed at length and
was finally carried in favor of antici.
patton by heavy majority.
Now, it happens that favorite
dish of Riverheaders is rabbit stew,
and that one of the losing faction,
Nate Downs is esteemed as tho best
concocter of rabbit stew on the east-
ern end Of Long Island.
Not long after the famous debate,
Nate invited the whole company to
visit his house and partake of the ia
vorite dish. Anticipation ran high,
and at the appointed hour the club
assembled en- masse, but elias for re-
alization there was no rabbit stew,
only the usual paraphernalia Of
serving it-dishes, knives, etc.
Nate had sought by this practical
method to force the society to recon
slider its hasty decision and was en-
inently successful. The company
left, very angry, but with the settled
conviction that 80 far as rabbit stew
was concerned realization would be
more satisfactory than anticipation.

WHAT THE BIRDS EAT.
Professor Washburn Divides the Feathered
Tribes Into Three Glasses.

Tribes Into Three C,asses.
Professor E. L. Washburn of the
State Agricultural college read a pa
per before the State Horticultural so
ciety on Birds and the Horticulture
list, in which, after showing the re-
suit Of many painstaking expert
ments in examining birds stomacha
etc., he goes on to say:
Summarizing from what has been
done in this line elsewhere and from
personal observation, it would seem
that we might classify the commoner
birds in rather vaguely defined
groups, it is true, under four heads.
We would, however, reserve the
privilege Of condemning any bird
when it became q veritable nuisance
to the fruit grower.
Under Birds Worthy of Our Pro-
lection" l would place the robin,
bluebird, all the sparrows except the
English sparrow, bullocks, oriole,
all fycatchers and virees, swallows,
most of the woodpeckers, most of
the thrushes, the red tailed hawk,
the red shouldered hawk, Swainsons
hawk or buzzard, marsh hawk, spar
row hawk, long cared owl, short
cared owl, barred owl and the
screech owl.
Under Birds Probably Beneficial
we might place the following: Black
birds, red shafted flicker, kingbird
found in parts of eastern CregoW
cherry bird or cedar bird, the horned
lark, black winged yellowbird, OF
"wild canary" China pheasants,
quail. ruffled grouse or native pleas
ant" blue grouse and great horned
owl.
Under Doubtful" would place
the jays, crows, meadow lark, black
headed grosbeak, ground dove,'
golden eagle, bald eagle.
And under Decidedly Bad 1
should unhesitatingly place the pur
pie linnet, or cherry thief" the
woodpecker called the sap sucker"
Cooper's hawk and sharp Skinned
hawk.
In considering the above arbitrary
divisions it should be borne in mind
that many birds placed in the Doubt
full" column may really deserve
q better place, though the examina
ton of stomachs have not extended
through long enough time to show
this The eagles, for instance, in To-
calities where their natural food is
abundant are undoubtedly beneficial.
1t is only when this supply is cut
off that they become injurious. The
China pheasant is reported to me by
some as consuming much grain,
feeding on fruit and garden stuff
and even pulling up young pear and
peach pits just sprouted. Yet the
bulk of testimony seems to point to
the fact that all of our game birds
consume enough injurious insects to
more than balance their bad quail
ties. Gunners in this vicinity assure
me that they find many grasshoppers
in the crop and stomach Of Denny
pheasants, and one man mentions
seeing these birds hunting field for
hoppers much after the manner Of
turkeys.
Of the English sparrow I can say
nothing good and trust it may never
get q foothold in Portland or else
where in Oregon. 1t is noisy, pug.
nacious and dirty, and though it has
penchant for canker worms it
drives away other birds which prey
upon pests for which an English
sparrow has no iking.-Portland

How Bism arck Got There.

Bismarck has had some odd expert
ences in his varied life, but the fol-
lowing perhaps was the queerest:
He had been invited to a court din
ner by the czar at the Imperial Sum-
mer palace. He missed the train
from st. Petersburg, and finding
that he could not reach the palace in
time, and that the delay in heating
up locomotive would be- very great,
he jumped on a handcar. The sta
ton master and couple of work
men assisted the prince to work the
engine, he taking turns with the
rest of them. He arrived safely IL
time for the dinner, and Bismarck
expressed his thanks to the men with
30 rubles, while to the station master
he sent 1000 fine cigars.
