a pair of rock shafts which are con.

tubular to receive the other. Each
shaft is provided with a handle, and
by swinging these handles toward and
from each othtr the lazy tongs may be
extended or rearacted. A flexible hose
connects the head of the washing de-

may be had at the desired point. A
patent on this embarrassing de.

After the conference the following
statement was issued: The bid of the

meets the formal requirements. Paul

Thomas H. Tibbles in Success tells a
new anecdote of Lincoln. The incl
dent occurred in the Lincoln Douglas
debate at Galesburg, ILL.,, in 1858. at
which Mr. Tibbles was present.
Judge Douglas closed his speech
with very bitter attack upon Lin
coins career. He said that Lincoln
had tried everything and had always
been failure. He had tried farming and
had failed at that, had tried flatboating
and had failed at that, had tried school
teaching and had failez at that. had
tried law and had failed at that. and
now he had gone into politics and was
doomed to make the worst failure Of
all. That is the man., said Judge
Douglas, who wants my place in the
senate. You don't know him in the
northern part of the state SO well as
we do who live in the southern part
THAT part of Judge Douglas speech
aroused my anger to white heat. and
I was provoked at Lincoln as he sat
there and laughed during it's delivery.
He seemed to be greatly amused by 1t.
At length he rose to reply. He came
forward and said that he was very
much obliged to Judge Douglas for the
very accurate history that he had TAX
Ell the trouble to compile. 1t was all
true, every word of it. Il have said
Lincoln, worked on farm: l have
split rails: have worked on f1atboat;
1 have tried to practice law. There is
just one thing that Judge Douglas for
got to relate. He says that l sold
liquor over counter. He forgot to
tell you that while l was on one side
of the counter the judge was always
on the other side'''

The Cause of sleep.

Sir William Covers has recently de
velqped a new theory of sleep. Ac.
cording to his explanation. the suspen-
sion of consciousness in sleep is prob
ably due to "break and make" action
among the brain cells. The activity OF
the brain is considered TO be due to
nerve cells, from which spring nerve
cords that go on dividing and subdi-
viding until they terminate in little
knobs. Formerly it was believed that
the nerve cells of the brain were in
permanent connection by means of
their terminals, but now it appears
that these are only in opposition and
capable of being separated. The n.y.
pothesis is that during sleep such sep
aration takes place. and the fact that
narcotic substances are capable of in.
duclng sleep is held to support this
view.
