WONDERS OF SLEEP.

The Effects of Slumbcr Upon the
Brain and the Heart.
Shakespeare" said a scientist. "cali-
cd sleep the ape OF death. That IL a
striking name for striking thing.
Sleep is Il wonderland. Let us explore
It.
Self hypnotism is mysterious force
that we can exercise Oh ourselves In
sleep alone. We are all self hypnotists.
We all. on certain nights. tell ourselves
firmly that We must not oversleep. that
the next morning-at 1, at or 9 pre-
cisely-we must wake up. And we do
wake up. Our sleeping selves respond
to the hypnotic suggestion made the
night before by our waking selves.
That is mysterious and striking, isn't
it! Still more mysterious and striking,
though. Is the fact of our keeping track
of the time somehow in our slumber.

'lt Is impossible to do without sleep.
Men have slept standing, walking. even

They have slept in uncomfortable and

rivation OF sleep at the head Of their
torture list
Sleep Is a state Of rest The heart
rests In sleep. The heart is u rhythmic
muscle, not one that never reposes, but
one that works at short shifts, like a
puddler, moment on, moment off.

nearly as much repose as we do.
THE brain IN sleep becomes pale
and sinks below the level Of the skull.
When we are awake the brain is high
and full and ruddy.
Not only the brain and heart, but
even the tear glands, rest in sleep.
That Is why when we awake we al
ways rub out eyes. The rubbing Is an
instructive action that stimulates the
stagnant tear glands and causes them
to moisten properly our eyes, oil dried
from their inaction. Buffalo News.

That the schools of this city
believe that there is something
more in school work than mere
routine is very we'll illustrated
by the work being done in the
Philomathean Literary Society
which holds a session every Fri
day afternoon. AS a deviation
from the regular program last
Friday a warrant was issued
for arrest, the accused was
brought before the judge, a
jury was impaneled and sworn
in, witnesses were subpoenaed,
took the oath and gave evidence
attorneys appeared for and
against; The jury received in
structions from the judge; a
verdict of guilty was rendered
and the sentence given. All
this may have seemed slightly
crude tothe experienced lawyer
but it was a fine training for
the pupils. 1t will give them
something of an insight into
certain phases of citizenship.
1t will interest pupils in things
that should elicit their atten-
tion. This was entirely in
charge of the high school teach
ers who are most loyal and
earnest in their work. The
citizens of Mo. Valley take a
just pride in the excellent corps
of teachers that the board of
education has been fortunate
enough to secure.

THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT.
Why Its Houses Were Built Upon the
River DanL

Why Its HOuscs Were BUILT Upon the
River Dank.
Wellington once declared that tho
most exciting moment Of his life was
not In any Of his great BATTLES, but that
in which he had to forbid William Nv.
to attend u public banquet in the city
during time Of great national excite
ment. OF the millions of people
every year see the English houses Of
parliament, how many nagine that
their position was determined by stra-
tegic considerations? No ono nowadays
can think OF the palace of Westmin-
ster in any other position than that
which it occupies. But when the old
houses were burned down aud the task
Of rebuilding faced there was propo-
sition to establish them on or near the
site Of ST. James palace Wellington
resolutely put down his foot on the
proposal.
The site suggested, Its advocates
pointed out. would be better as regards
centrality and convenience than any
other. But to the argument Of the
duke there could then be no answer
With vast and growing population,
such as yours in London he said.
you must never make 1t possible that
you can be surrounded. You must
build your houses Of parliament upon
the river, SO that the means of ingress
and egress are sufe and that the popu-
luce cannot exact their demands by
sitting down around YOU" Sir William
Fraser, III whose memoirs the story is
recalled. mentioned IL to Napoleon III.

different turn which the history Of
France might have taken II in other
ways as great precautions had been
observed in his own cas".-St. James
