The Mind During sleep.

"During Sleep" says an authority on
mental subjects, "the workings Of the
mind are under no control, and yet it
seems to have a wonderful faculty Of
building up and arranging scenes and
incidents. remember once having
vivid dream of going into house the
furniture and inmates of which be-
longed to the middle ages. So clear
was the dream that had no difficulty
in recalling it, and then as went over
each detail of dress, armor, jewelry, or
naments and other objects seen in my
vision realized that everything had
beheld was historically accurate-that
is to say, that probably in fraction Of
a second my mind had conjured up a
scene to construct which, with the
same faithfulness to detail, while
awake would have taken me several
hours"

Oriental SQuatters.

Most artists depicting the cast show
men sitting crosslegged, tailor fashion.
Fasteners don't sit like that. Usually
they stick their calves beneath them,
sit on their heels and with the soles of
the feet pointed upward, painful pos
ture for an occidental. The Hindoo
usually rests on his launches, with his
knees pyramid style and his chin on
their level. Try that attitude ten min
utes and see how you like it.
Travelling eastward, as soon as you
touch Turkey you reach a district
where sitting on the floor is the custom.
You may then journey on for thou
sands of miles. also north and south,
and the millions in that region are all
floor squatters. When you arrive in
China, however. then you are among
other millions who sit on chairs. Go
over to Japan. and then you get among
squatters again. The question is, Why
should the Chinese, among all the ma
tons of the east, use chairs?

How Romans Took Their Food.

The Romans reclined at their ban
quets on touches, all supporting them
selves on one elbow and eating with
their fingers from dishes placed in the
center of the table. Each was supplied
with a napkin, and knives were used,
though it does not appear that every
one was supplied with one. Nothing,
it would seem, could be more fatiguing
than to partake of repast in such an
awkward posture or less conducive to
neatness, it being almost impossible to
keep the hands clean even with water
supplied by the slaves or to prevent the
food and wine from falling on the
clothing and the draperies of the couch.
This manner of eating disappeared
during the dark ages so far as the
couch was concerned, but the peculiar
ity of taking the food with fingers from
a common dish continued afterward
for more than 1000 years.

HnU tn Sell Goods.

"'You must know how to talk with a
customer so that she will buy. is one
of the things the buyer says over and
over again in his lectures down in the
basement. Even when the girl is be-
hind the counter at work the buyer
will often step up and give her hint.
For instance, he will give new name
to an old piece Of goods. There is ev-
erything in a name. He came up to
me one day and said, Call that line OF
goods the Marlborough and it was not
long before had sold the entire stock.
The sweller a name is the better. of
course. Cumberland pins will sell much
better than plain pins even if they are
the same thing. French names are
much in vogue, too, and they are some
times coined. Names taken from swell
sports are also very good sellers. An
other thing. of course, which helps a
girl sell the goods is genuine knowl-
edge of them."-Leslie's Monthly.

SWAPPING THE FINGERS.
The Curious Habit Aids Mental Proc
ess In Many Cases.

The Curious Habit Aids Mental Proc
ess In Many Cases.
''Did you ever notice the peculiar
habit some men have of swapping
their fingers while trying to recall
something which has escaped their
minds for the moment?" asked q
man who keeps a keen lookout for
the curious in human nature. 'NoW,
here is a curious study and one
which, if pursued, may throw much
light on very interesting subject.
Anything relating to memory, the
retentiveness Of the human mind,
is always Of interest to me, and |
have noted with much concern
these curious physical manifesto
lions when the mind picture be-
comes SO obscure that it's lines are
lost. Why should a man snap his
fingers when he temporarily for
gets a thing? Does this physical
movement aid the mental processes !?
Does the fact prove the material
basis of the mind? It must show q
very intimate connection between
the two. After all, the intimacy be-
tween the mind and the body is very
close, and personally | have always
believed in the theory which teaches
us that psychology has physlolog-
ical basis and can have no other.
"'The simple habit of swapping
the fingers when ones memory fails
for the moment would seem to offer
ample proof of the fact. Curiously
enough, this same condition, phys
ical movement, will manifest itself
in many ways under similar circum-
stances. All men do not snap their
fingers when there is mental lapse
which they are seeking to overcome.
They will find other ways OF brldg-
ing the gap. One man will pat his foot
when he forgets temporarily. Anoth-
er will bite his lip or place his tlngerr
against his temple or rub one hand hand
across his forehead or resort 70 some
other effort to stimulate his Tagging
memory. Why is this? Is ones
memory really aided by these phys
zeal movements 1t must be, else
humanity would have dropped them
long ago. Almost every man, when
he forgets something q name, for
instance which is right on the enc
Of his tongue, will make some KIND
Of physical effort to conjure the
proper simage from its hiding place
in the brain cells. Why it is ! do
not know. / know merely that It
happens, and I suppose it answers answers

Australians Big Appetite.

Perhaps the most astonishing Stats
tics in Mr.. Coughlan's book. Seven
Colonies of Australasia" are those that
describe what the average Australian
eats and drinks. Apparently he has
the best appetite, if not the best d1ges-
ton, of any human being on the planet.
He eats every year 264 pounds of meat,
which works out an average OF two
sheep and one-fifth of a bullock for ev-
cry man. woman and baby in Australia
STA. He eats more than twice as much
meat as the average Englishman. three
times as much as the average French
man and four times as much as the av-
erage German or Swiss. He eats, in
addition, about 375 pounds of wheat,
225 pounds Of potatoes and almost 100
pounds of sugar If he is Tasma-
MAN, he eats a quarter of ton of po-
tatoes in year, quite surprising feat.

A Rare Old Book.

The second book printed in the Eng
lish language was "The Game and
Playe of the Chess" which the title
page says was "Fynyshid the last day
of Marche. the yer Of our lord god a
thousande foure hondred and LXXIIj."
Only twelve copies of the work are
now known to exist. In 1918 an Eng
lishman of the name Of Alchorne sold
his copy for a sum equal to $27O in
United States currency. Fifty-six years
later, in 1869, the same volume ian i'm
perfect copy was sold for $3.50. The
British museum has refused an offer Of
$4,000 for it's copy, which is imper-
feet to the extent Of having seven
leaves missing.

Marvellous Memories.

Among men noted for wonderful
memories were Milton, who was said
to be able to repeat Homer; Professor
Lawson, who boosted that he could re-
peat the whole of the Bible, except a
few verses; Lord Macaulay, who made
the same boast about Pilgrims Prog
ress' and Paradise LOST" DR.. Lerden,
a friend Of Sir Walter Scott. who could
repeat an act of parliament on hearing
it read but once. and London report

BRUTAL COLT TRAINING.
How Farmer Perkins Used strategy
and a Bull Whip.

ana a buAl W. Aps
There is a right way and wrong
way of breaking a colt to halter. The
latter method is described by Sewell
Ford in Horses Nine" Blue Blazes,
the colt n the story, was owned Dy
Michigan farmer. He had been fright
ened by the first attempt to bride him
and had broken away. He was prompt
Nv declared to be a vicious colt.
"We'll tame himv' said Farmer Per-
kins. Under his coat he hid stout
halter and heavy bull whip. Then,
holding grain measure temptingly be-
fore him, he climbed the pasture fence.
In the measure were oats, which ne
ratified seductively. Also he called
mildly and persuasively. Blue Blazes
was suspicious. Four times he allowed
the farmer to come almost within
reaching distance, only to turn and bolt
with a snort of alarm just at the cru
cial moment. At last he concluded that
he must have just one taste OF those
oats.
"Come, collie! Nice coltie!" cooed
the man in a strained but concil1ating
voice.
Blue Blazes planted himself for
sudden whirl, stretched his neck as far
as possible and worked his upper lip
inuuiringly. The smell of the oats
lured him on. Hardly had he touched
his nose to the grain before the meas
ure was dropped, and he found himself
roughly grabbed by the forelock. In
moment he saw the hated straps and
ropes. Before he could break away
the halter was around his neck and
buckled firmly.
Farmer Perkins changed his tone.
"Now, you ugly little brute, I've got
you! [Jerk.l Blast your wicked hide!
[Slash.] You will, will you? [Yank.l
I'll Farm you" [Slash.]
Man and colt were almost exhausted
when the "lesson" was finished. 1t
left Blue Blazes ridged with welts,
trembling. fright sickened. Never
again would he trust himself within
reach of those men: no. not If they Of
fered him whole bushel of oats.

Some years ago, when the examination
in colors of railroad men was inau-

America, and many a good man lost
