Faoe West tor Best work.


To test the truth Of the assertions Of
many persons that they sleep better
with their heads pointing to the north,
work better facing the east and 30 on,
DR.. Charles Fere, who is well known
in France for his studies In physiolog-
ical psychology. has constructed a del
icate machine which he calls an ergo
graph. with which he has achieved
some Interesting results. This ma
chine registers the number, rapidly
and equality Of the movements Of the
index finger when writing or perform
ing any accustomed work.
He announces that his experiments
with it prove that work done BY q
person facing the west or east is bet
ter by Is per cent than similar work
done by person facing the north
or south, and that when working fac
ing the west 1t is about Is per cent
better than when facing east
This matter Of orientation seems to
have an influence upon the nervous
system, due largely, it is believed, to
the fact that the earth is a gigantic
magnet Many learned men have no
ticed that they sleep best with the
head to the north and work betting
facing the west, while at least one IA
nous pianist finds he plays with the
greatest ease when the piano faces
the east. 1t may be that the great
migrations of the human race, all Of
which have been from east to west,
and the observed tendency Of trees to
develop in the same way related to
these phenomena.

You have seen how the 'tangle.

the grass has the farmers tan
gled up. At least twenty per cent
of the crop ofthis county will be
abandoned, and the other eighty
per cent will not make over
three quarters of an average
yield, and the weather will have
to be favorable from this on TO
do that well. 1t will take the
farmers till August 10 to clean
out the grass and we viii have to
cultivate as late as Septem Der.

to the Bible, which should be the

that Moses, as well as all the

churches, was always short,
