II am not what you would call a
religious man, but | can testify that it
is Individually true that behind the
body is something-call it intellect,
spirit, or soul, just as you please
that has a power over the body that is
practically unlimited; at least should
hesitate to place any limitation upon
it. And when man lives in his in
tellect. soul or spirit, his body is not
only subjected to a minimum need of
repair, but 1t can be used up to the
maximum of its capacity.
"Mommsen lived entirely for his
work, and his intellect was SO highly
trained that it probably worked almost
automatically. All his physical forces
were enlisted In the service of his
intellect, and as he followed the same
daily routine for years its power was
enhanced by the wonderful force of
habit 1t is little wonder, then. that
he thrived on only three hours sleep

Beside him sat his bride of month.
The moon has rarely seen a woman
more beautiful. The light in her eyes
seemed born of the beauty of the
night, and he wondered. Was she, too,
drinking in its splendor, feasting upon
its loneliness, breathing 1t into her

upon the distant horizon, where sky

There is an old saying that any
man can subdue wild animal by
merely looking into it's eyes, and in
teresting stories are told Of adven-
turous hunters who have put the the
DRY to practical test
An African sportsman had unique
experience in attempting to charm an
ostrich.
Approaching large ostrich, he
gazed fixedly Mt 1t, and to his delight
the mesmeric glance seemed to meet
with immediate success. The bird
crouched and tapped its wings nerv-
ously. Some hours later, however,
the mans body was found with the
ostrich alternately sitting and jumping
upon It.
Another believer In the human eve
experimented on wild cat confined
In a geological Parden. He afterward
confessed that but for the wires OF
the cage his face would have been
torn to pieces.
A very different story Is related OF
a man attached to an African hunting
party. Wandering one day from
camp, no surprised two cub lions at
play, and thoughtlessly commenced to
amuse them. He was only too sue

lessly about him, and to his dismay
refused to desist when he wished to
leave them.
Realizing the danger to which he
would be exposed should the mother
appear, he began to run, but the cubs
refused to be shaken off, and in their
play they scratched his legs in fear
full fashion.
That the creatures were thoroughly
enjoying themselves was evident from
their manifestations of delight, and
before long their unusual cries
brought lioness leaping to the spot
Trembling in every limb, the man
faced the growing animal, while the
cubs continued to jump at him, eager
for further caresses. The enraged
lioness moved round uneasily In q
circle, man and beast keeping their
eyes fixed steadily on each other. Sow
eral times the lioness crouched to
spring but the man, from fear, never
shifted his gaze.
At length, after what seemed an
age, when the man was ready to drop
from exhaustion, the animal suddenly
called her cubs away and disappeared
into the surrounding shrub.
