MIND AND MUSCLE.
Influence of Former Upon the Latte

Influence of Former Upon h Latter
Plainly to Be Seen.
In all feats Of skill the influence of
the mind Is most important. To per-
form in thoroughly good style any diff
cult feat of skill it is absolutely neces-
sary that the mind must be free from
fear, anxiety or nervousness. I knew
once, years ago, q man who had been
a bullfghter in Spain. During n of
his glowing accounts Of the sport I
expressed my surprise that he should
have left the life. His reply was: Zone
day I was about to enter the ring and
I had a little creepy feeling of fear.
Then I stopped for good. The man who
feels fear is sure to be killed."
And it is equally true that the man
who fears is heavily handicapped, no
matter what the contest may be. Anxi-
ETY. and nervousness are closely akin
to fear, and both are so powerful in.
their effect as to render it almost i'm.
possible for one to perform perfectly
any difficult or delicate feat Of skill.
The man who is afraid or anxious or
nervous is almost sure to fail.
All emotions when intense have a
powerful effect on the muscles. This
is plainly seen in the tension Of the
muscles, clinching Of hands and arms,
as well as of the face, in anger, in the
spasmodic breathing of excitement,
in the muscular weakness and trem-
bling Of fear, and in many other con-
ditions that might be mentioned. Now,
in feats Of skill Of whatever nature,
whether balancing, juggling, marks
:manship, tumbling or shot putting, it
Is necessary that just the right muscles
must be used at just the right instant
and to just the right degree. When,
however, the muscles are disturbed by
emotional excitement, such delicate adj
.justment is impossible and the prob
able result is failure. F..
The mental state most conducive to
success in games of skill is confident
calmness. And by practice this state
Of mind may be made a habit-a habit
most valuable in all games Of skill,
-even in that game OF skill called life

4 Strange Sight In the French Tur-
pentine Growing Country.

4 Strange Sight In the French Tur.
pentine Growing Country.
People live on sixteen foot stills in
the remarkable %turpentine growing
country of France. They don these
stills after breakfast and do not re:
o them again till 1t Is time for bed.
There are two, reasons for the wear
Ing Of stills in the turpentine country.
One Is the turpentine gathering. The
other is the herding Of the great flocks.
The turpentine ONE from the mari
time pine. This tree IS tapped, a shin
gle is inserted, and from the shingle is
hung a tiny bucket into which the tur-
pentine drips. The tapping process Is
like that used on the American sugar
maple.
Young pine trees are tapped low, but
with each years passage the incision Is
made higher, so that it is not long be-
fore most of the trees are tapped twen-
ty or thirty feet from the ground.
Hence the huge stills of the work
men. On these stills they traverse the
fiat country, covering five or six yards
with each stride, and quickly and east:
" they collect the turpentine that over
flows the little buckets hanging high
up in the trees.
1t is for herding also that the stills
are useful. The country is very fiat,
and the herdsman unless he continual
~ climbed a tree would be unable to
keep all the members Of his huge flock
in sight. But striding about on his
stills he commands a wide prospect.
he is always, as it were, upon a hill.
The silt wearers carry a fifteen foot
staff with a round, fiat top like a din
ner plate. When it is lunchtime or
when they are tired they plant upright
under them the staff and sit down on
its round, fat top. Then in comfort,
seated so dizzily high, they eat and
rest and chatter-a strange sight to be-
hold.-New York Press.

Mrs. Helen Hartford of Newberg ap-
peared before good audience Tuesday
night at the courthouse and championed
the cause of equal suffrage. Mrs. Har-
ford's argument was unanswerable-
in fact, there is but one side to the
question when an attempt is made to
indulge in real argument. Women who
wish to vote should be permitted 10 do
SO, and women who do not wish to vote
will not be forced-which is true of
men. But-everybody understands the
question. 1t is to be regretted that the
speaker touched upon one or two points
which might better have been cut out.
She has evidently been misinformed.
If officeseekers would speak right out
in meeting, they might tell her that it
is no easier TO buy the vote of an Indian
in Lincoln county than it is to buy the
vote of white man; they might also
inform her that the votes of some In
dians are not for sale; this may also be
true of some white men. However,
this does not lessen The justice of the
woman suffrage cause. An intelligent
woman is better citizen and more en-
titled to the use of the ballot than an
ignorant, low down cuss Of any color
or nationality--and there are more than
plenty of this stripe in this wonderful
land of the free and home OF the brave
men who are so much better and wiser
than their mothers, wives, daughters,
sisters or sweethearts! While local
sentiment seems to be strongly in favor
of the amendment, few of our very
good male citizens express fear that
they will be contaminated if naughty
women are permitted to get near the
sacred ballot-box. Poor boys! They
should hike to he nunnery.
