A New Theory of Sleep.

An interesting and novel theory of
sleep has recently been put forward by
DR.. C~laparede, a French scientist, who
holds that sleep is a positive function
or an instinct designed to arrest func-
toning. Dr.. Claparede makes the as
sertion that we sleep not because we
are intoxicated or exhausted, but in or
der to avoid such conditions. Not only
are there various kinds and degrees of
sleep, but it does not always follow ex-
haustion. Furthermore, it is we'll known
that sleep is not proportional to the
degree of exhaustion, and it may be
either total or partial. In measuring
the profoundness Of sleep various con-
ditions are encountered which are not
susceptible Of explanation on the toxic
theory, but which agree perfectly with
the hypothesis that it is a positive
nervous function. The definition of
sleep, according to this new theory, is
a reaction produced by various excl
tants and is an inhibition which mani
tests itself s%ubjectively by a lack Of in,
terest in exterior things. - Harper's
Weekly,

A Tale of q Tub.

4Ae two pretty American girls had
met two delightful Englishmen on the
way across and had given a cordial
invitation, warmly seconded by their
mother. to Sir Charles and his friend
to vfsttsthem at their country home.
One day a message came saying the
TWO men would arrive that afternoon.
The family was thrown into a fever of
excitement, and many plans of enter
tainment for their guests were sug.
gested and abandoned. 1t was finally
decided that, as Englishmen are no
toriously fond Of a tub" and their
guests were coming directly from the
train, they should first be invited to
take a bath. After that the hostess
would rely on the inspiration Of the
moment.
The young lei arrived promptly
and after some demurring were hur-
ried off to the bathroom. In about an
hour they emerged and went imme-
diatly to their hostess, saying, "We arc
sorry to leave so soon, but we only
came to make a call, and our train
leaves in fifteen minutes" Lippin.

How Wood I. coloraa

The colored wood industry began in
Italy in the seventeenth century, and
wood coloriag works came to Sweden
during the Thirty Years war, but I'M
til quite recently the method was used
on a very small scale.
Now, by the method invented by the
Austrian Joseph Phister in 1901, the
wood is colored when fresh. The tree
is cut while the sap is in action. and
i the coloring process the dye is fore
ed under heavy pressure into the wood
and replaces the sap. The manufactur-
ers can color to a length Of thirteen
feet.
Birch, beech, alder, maple, elm and
Eastwood are the best kinds of wood
for the purpose. Oak is not good on
account Of the fannie acid. and in
spruce and pine the color cannot be
made uniform.
The wood looks best when polished.
The prices are yet comparatively high
on account Of the waste, but improve
ments may follow. 1t can be used i n
furniture, panels and doors; also in
outside work in order to avoid paint
ing. 1t is especially good for fitting
ships and tram cars.-Report of United
States Consul Bergh, G%othenburg, Swe-
den.

Incomes of the Grand Dukes.

The Russian imperial family number
at the present time something like six
ty grand dukes and grand duchesses.
1t is a fact that they would, one and
all, be wholly dependent upon the
reigning emperor, whose wealth is
practically b~oundless--his minimum in
come is estimated as being f1,50O, 600
were it not that a former car, Paul l.,
set aside a certain number Of estates,
to which he gave the curious name Of
"the imperial ~appanages." The income
Of these vast stretches of fertile land
is devoted to the maintenance Of all
those members Of the imperial family
who are not in the direct line of uc-
cession. At the present time this sourc
Of income produces 100000 a year,
and the imperial %appanages stand in
the proud position of being the largest
landowner, the most important and
prosperous farmer and the wealthiest
wine producer in the Russian empire!
This is the reason why Russian grand
dukes are sc amazingly wealthy.

One Of the animals least known to
the outside world is the pygmy hippo
potamus of west Africa. 1t is just
what it's name implies, a pygmy hippo
potamus. 1t is much smaller than the
common hippopotamus, being no larger
than an ordinary OF fair sized hog. 1t
differs somewhat from the common
hippo in the character Of its teeth, and
instead of spending its time in the riv-
ers and lakes in large herds it wanders
about through the jungles singly or in
pairs, much after the manner of swine
in search of mast.

Rice Eaters and Wheat Eaters.

Some writer once classified the popu.
lation of the world into two groups
the rice eaters and the wheat eaters.
With rice goes fish, and with wheat
goes meat. Chemical analysis shows
that each Of these combinations forms
a perfect diet, embracing all the neces-
sary food elements. But, while the
wheat and meat diet requires an elab-
crate and expensive preparation to
make it ready for use, the rice and
fish diet is cheap and simple. 1t needs
no slaughter houses, mills or bakeries,
with dozens of other adjunctive fac
tories. Fish and rice can be prepared
for food by the simplest processes with
in fifteen minutes after they are
brought to the pot. And so the rice
eaters are able to live on a few pennies
a day and yet thrive and become big
and populous nations. Kansas City

No sooner had he left the shop than
the proprietor came running after him

He then commanded each of his court

begin, and after all had had their turn
he asked the jeweler to empty the YES

We are in receipt of a prospectus
of the Lone Mountain Gold Mining
company, incorporated under the laws
of the District of Columbia, by prom
inent men of Carthage, N. Y. with
Geo. R. Sims as general manager.
The property of the company con-
sists Of five mining claims, two mill
sites and two water rights, situated
near Lone Mountain in the Rabbit
Hole district. These claims have been
sold to the company by Messrs. H.
c. Hardesty, E. D. Cooley, R. c.
Moore, AL Jeskins and Cecil Biggs,
the above named parties taking stock
in the new company in payment for
the mines.
Mr.. Sims was here last fall and
thoroughly examined these properties
and determined that, for the amount
of work done, they gave great prom
ise, showing good ore bodies and as
say values of from $40 to $3.50.
Stock is being sold in the east to raise
funds to equip the mines with machin-
cry and erect mill. 1t is expected
that work will begin in earnest this
spring. The company is organized
with a capital stock of $500,0OO and
the officers are all good, responsible
business men of the east. The West
