A Cool Cusiome,

The way in which women will fire.
Auently take up the time of tradesren
with no intention Of purchasing is de-
pightfuIly illustrated by a story evil
dencing the coolest bit of audacity on
record. In a picture-seller's establish
ment the other day a lady with her
daughter asked if he had the engraving
entitled when the Heart is Young"
as she did not see it in the window.
The dealer said he had it. The lady
asked the price, and also asked to see
1t. After some trouble it was produced.
Thinking he had a likely customer, the
man expatiated on it's merits, but the
lady did not seem to pay much hood
to his remarks, being busy pointing out
to her daughter that one of the charac-
tors in the picture wore her sleeves in
this manner, that the hair was done up
b that manner, and so forth. Then, re-
marking to the shop-man that she did
not want the print and that she merely
wished to get the proper idea Of what
was needed for the dress of her daUgh-
ter, who was to take part in a tahleau
%Vivant, she departed, leaving the man

Beers AGAIN "TREKKlNG."
Now Deserving the Transvaal for Ger
man East Africa.

While the British have been drafting
A constitution for the Transvaal colony
under which all burghers of the late
South African republic may vote for
members of the first Volksraad, a large
number of Beers are on the eve of de-
parture for German East Africa. More
than 1000 Beers will leave the Trans
vaal in May to take up farms in the
highlands of German East Africa, 100 to
$50 miles inland from the Indian ocean.
This party alone will represent the
speedy removal of 5000 or 1000 Der
sons, as many of the men Will leave
their families behind until they have
cleared fields and Quilt houses.
Last year two committees went to
German East Africa to spy out the land.
They found good soil for general farm
ing along the line of the Tanga railroad,
and were delighted with the rich growth
Of grasses on the great high plain near
the northern edge of the colony, which
they said was better adapted for cattle
raising than the veldt of their native
land. When they went home they recon-
mended these new farming and grazing
regions, where every condition, they said,
promised prosperity. Fourteen Boer
farmers and their families, numbering
"A persons, did not wait for the exodus
this spring, but packed up their belong
ings and started at once for German East
Africa.
This movement Of the Transvaal Beers
to a foreign land, 1,400 miles north of
their former home, is significant of their
a%ntipathy to British rule and the deter
mination of many Of them to begin life
anew in the wilderness rather than live
under the British flag.

Curious oauses OF sleen.

Scientists disagree as 20 the cause OF
drowsiness. some curious ana remark
able reasons are assigned for the de-
sire everybody has for sleeping. 1t
is attributed by some people to an ac-
cumulation in the system of the poi
sonous products of the wear and tear
OF the body during the day. There
seems to be some measure OF truth In
this, for in many disease the patients
are often sleepless.
Another hypothesis is that the nerve
cells of the brain dwell apart from
each other, as it were, during sleep.
The brain is composed of millions OF
tiny bodies called cells. each having
several delicate prolongations, or
branches, for the purpose of communi-
eating with other cells. When the
brain is fully active all these cells

occasionally comes, it is thought, when
the branches q! al tbs cells curl up,
and their Sc,atioh Means that COM
plete COMMUNICATION between the cells
ceases. The state Of body and mind
that follows is what is called sleep.
The most probable explanation Of
sleep, however, is that in some way
or other the internal condition OF the
cells is changed, partly from exhaus-
ton and partly because of diminished
stimulation from other parts Of the

Civilized Camp Life.

Rossiter w. Raymond, at n time
commissioner of mining statistics, tells
In Clarence King Memoirs" Of an I'M
expected dinner invitation which he
once received from Mr.. King, who was
at that time camped nea the Salt
Lake valley.
Knowing Of Mr.. King as an explorer,
hunter and athlete, I could scarcely
recognize my own expectation In the
polished gentleman who, in immacu-
late linen, silk stockings, low shoes
n clothing without a wrinkle, re-
ceived me in his camp at a dinner
which vas simple enough in Its ma
terial constituents, but served in q
style which l had not found west of
the Missouri.
When l attempted to make fun OF
him for "roughing it" in this way,
he replied seriously, 1T is all very well
for you, who lead a civilized life nine
or ten months in the year, and get
into the field for a few weeks at a
time only, to let yourself down to the
pioneer level. But /, who have beer
for years constantly In the field, would
have lost my good habits altogether II
/ had not taken every possible oppor-
tunity to practice them. We don't
dine this way every day, but We do
whenever we can"

CENTER IS MOVING EAST.
Population Increase in Eastern Cities
Offsets Growth in West.

Population experts Of the census bu-
reau are inclined to the belief that the
center of population of the United States,
which has Travelled westward steadily
since the foundation of the republic, has
turned and is now headed eastward. If
this be true, the fact is of interest as in
dicating that the movement of popula-
ton toward the East and Southeast is
greater than the movement toward the
West. 1t is expected that censuses to be
taken in a dozen States during May and
June will throw light on the present To-
cation of the center of population, which
the census of 1900 placed six miles south
east of Columbus, Ind.
The year 1905 is just halfway be-
tween two national census periods, and
there is curiosity which cannot be &C.
curately satisfied as to how far and in
what direction the center Of population
has gone since its location was last es-
tablished FIVE years ago and how far and
in what direction it will continue to go
during the next five years. Because Of
the increase of population in eastern
cities, especially New York, and q steady
trend of growth in the southeastern At
lantic seaboard States the population ex-
perts have formed the opinion that il
there is a westword movement Of the
center it is very slight and that if it's
direction has not been reversed there il
a possibility that it will be before the
end of the present decade. The only fact
which they find to combat this theory is
the rapid growth of population in the
State of Washington, which offsets a
much larger growth in the Eastern
States.
The tendency toward reversal of the
direction of the center Of population was
noted in the decade between 1890 and
1900. 1t then moved westward only q
little over fourteen miles, which is the
smallest movement that ever has been
noted. The course until possibly within
the last year or two has been uniformly
westward, c~linging closely to the thirty
ninth parallel of latitude. Starting In
1870, tventy-three miles east of Balh-
more it travelled forty-one miles in the
decade from 1890 until 1900; thirty-six
miles in the decade from 1900 to 1910;
fifty miles from 1910 to 1920; thirty-nine
miles from 1920 to 1880; fifty-fve miles
from 1880 to 1910; ffty-fve miles from
1910 to 1850; eighty-one miles from 1850
to 1860; forty-twc miles from 1860 to
1870; ifty-eight miles from 1870 to 1880;
miles from 1880 to 1890, and
fourteen miles from 1890 to 1900. This
is a total continuous westward movement
Of $40 miles since 1890.
