A Clock i'm YOUR Head

Speaking of the BRAIN said well
known neurologist, the other day lone
of it's most striking peculiarities is that IN
the soundest sleep of which we are cap
able some part of the brain organism
takes apon itself the duty of measuring
time.
You may sleep your soundest, sweet
est sleep and be awakened suddenly out
of It, Almost your first mental prompt
ing is that of time; there is an involun-
tary attempt on the part of the brain to
tell you Just how long you have been
asleep. You will get some idea of the tim
too; you can make a pretty Intelligent
guess as to whether it is nearer y
o'clock than 1t Is to O'Clock.
But when one has lost all conscious
ness, whether through violence or ether
or fainting, there is absolutely no knowl-
edge of time. A man coming from under
the influence of ether does not know
whether he has been unconscious an hour
or a month. He has no sensation that
will suggest it.
I'm sleep, however. 1t seems as If the
brains time card can be thrown off COM
pletely. For instance a person uneXpect-
edly may go to sleep on warm sum
mer day. 1t is morning, We will say, and
the sun is shining, and most frequently,
unless sleeping in daylight is comm on
to him, he will have no idea whether the
next meal will be a late breakfast, a
luncheon. or a dinner; he has lost his
bearings completely.
Another faculty of the brain in time
tadi 1C
is possible for them to go to sleep and
awaken at almost any hour they may
decide upon. In some persons this abil-
ity to awaken at pleasure Is almost mar
velous As this brain timekeeper works
in man, subconsciousy, all through the
day, we may well wonder how and when
it gets It's period of rest

TOBACCO KILLS OAK TREES.

Lexington, Ky.-For some cause, un-
known to expert lumbermen, the massive
forest trees of central Kentucky. princi-
pally Of the white and burr oak variety,
are dying. Some of these monarchs of
the woods are decayed in the heart with
age but this class of trees is variousy
estimated all the way from two to five
hundred years old.
The trees that are now In state Of dis
solution are those which have sprung up
in the last three or four decades, and
which were supposed to be in perfect
health Lumbermen report OF this latter
class of trees that about four out of five
they cut down are dead.
Those trees near ground where tobacco
has been continuously planted are all
dead.

a MERRY HEART.

Book says, Eat bread and let the heart

the bread must be good and to have it
good you must use good flour which the

Now, and then some scribe finds the
dazzling light of royalty too much for
his poor clay. The editor of the Bristol
Guardian anent the visit of the Princess
of Wales to his city finds in the not over
beautiful countenance of H. r. H., the
radiance not of earth" AS a sample of
fiunkeyism, his own language is worth
quoting: During this prayer the devot-
ional attitude of the Princess of Wales
was most beautiful to observe. Bowling
her gracious head and closing her ewes
it seemed TO those who were closely
watching her as If she had for moment
laid aside her degnity-her royal dignity
and had blotted out entirely from her
mind the scene that surrounded her She
was the first to commit herself to an
attitude of reverence and the last upon
that historic platform to recall herself
back again to mundane affairs. 1t might
have been imagination, 1t may have been
fact, but for just one second Of time
there appeared to dwell upon her Royal
Highness's beautiful features a radiance
certainly not of earth"

London, April 5.-Political conditions in
ireland, have as l stated in my last
letter, made it impossible for the King
to visit that portion of his realm All
the preliminary arrangements had been
privately made for the visit which was
set for the last two weeks in April. The
official announcement of the abandon
ment of the Kings visit to Ireland has
not caused surprise in Ireland, where
the present government receive full cred
it for their knack of laundering. Amongst
all classes in ireland it is considered de-
plorable that politics and party should
have anything to do with the sovereign's
visit to any part of his kingdom. He has
been peaceably and indisputably pro-
claimed King of Ireland, as of Great
Britain; every parliam entary member of
the Irish party has taken the oath of
allegiance to him. Why should his visits
to ireland, any more than to Scotland,
be treater as matter for cabinet min
listers to decide upon? The inevitable re-
suit of meddling Is muddling; the sover-
eign, like the war, Is dragged into pol
tiles and party maneuvers. A visit to
Dublin such as the late Queen paid would
have been more successful than was hers.
Why should Belfast be visited when
neither Liverpool nor Glasgow has had
royal visit? A visit to the capital of
Ireland during which the lord lieutenant
would have leave of absence, is what
common sense would suggest as suitable
and useful. But, then, supposing COM
mon sense were adopted in dealing with
ireland, what would become of the Irish
question?
