TYING q Joke.

Some years ago in North Carolina
court, Judge Shipp presiding, the trial
of a cause had been protracted till near
midnight The jury were tired and
sleepy and showed tagging attention.
Willie Murchison, who was addressing
the jury, thought to arouse them, so he
said, Gentlemen, | will tell you an
anecdote." Instantly the judge, the
jury and the few spectators pricked
up their ears and We're all attention, as
Murchison was admirable in that line,
had fund of anecdotes and no one
could tell them better. But he soon
proceeded to tell one of the dullest,
proSiest and most pointless jokes pos
Sible. Everybody looked disappointed.
The judge. leaning over said in an I'M
mistakable tone of disappointment.
"3Ir. Murchison, don't see the point
of that joke" Nor | either" replied
the witty counsel. But your honor
told it to me on our way down here,

ton must be due to my obtuseness, /

TRICKY BRAIN CELL.
What Happens When We Know n
Name Which Escapes Us.


The anatomy of the nervous system
and consequently its physiology was
regarded in the past as very simple.
Cayal showed that the specific brain
cell is an Independent unit provided
with multiple processes, by means Of
which it is capable of acting not
through one nerve alone, but several.
This independent brain unit or cell is
called Il neuron.
A simple illustration of how the neu-
ron works is furnished by our not in
frequent hunt for a name or an idea
which we know we possess. We feel
that the name is there, but we cannot
recall it. We get various names near
1t, beginning even with the same letter
or the same vowel sound, yet only after
minutes or even hours does it actually
occur to us
What is supposed to happen is that
the particular cell of intellection which
we are using throws out its process
among the cells of memory for names,
and, though this process is brought in
connection with cells containing SINH
lar names, it is only after more or
less prolonged search that it hits on the
right one. 1t is as if the telephone
operator in the central office felt
around blindly for the connection want
ed and only after putting the plug into
various holes eventually struck the
proper one-Dr. Joseph Walsh in Book
lovers Magazine.

In the early part of the nineteenth
century in the town of Banjoemas, on
the island of Java, negro native de-
termined to construct a musical instru-
ment for his own use. Taking a cheese
box and heading it with a goatskin, he
ran handle through it, and, adapting
violin strings tuned to the first, third,
fifth and eighth notes of an octave, he
christened it banjo, from the first
two syllables of his native town. Grad
ual improvements on this rough and
ready instrument were made, and about
the middle of the century it crossed the
Atlantic and, though unpopular in Lon
don at first soon became well liked

In buying feeds TO supplement his
home grown supply the dairyman's
aim should be to secure digestible and
palatable protein on the most econom-
ical terms.
The quality of the manure made de
ponds to great extent on the kinds Of
feed used and a judicious selection
will result in a great Improvement in
this direction.
The cheapness of the buckwheat
products for the purchaser of protein
is pointed out by the New Jersey ex-
pertinent station in a review of its eX-
animation of many concentrated feed
ing stuffs sold in the state. These feeds
were also found to contain large guam
titles of carbohydrate and fat
OF the wheat products wheat feed
was slightly the cheapest, and mid
dlings were more expensive than bran.
Dat middlings We're Il little cheaper
than wheat bran, while among the
whole grain products, all of which
were expensive sources of protein,
ground oats were the cheapest and
ground wheat the most expensive.
