Why Do We Yawn7

There can be little doubt that one
of the objects Of yawning is the ex-
ercise of muscles which have been
for a long time quiescent and the
acceleration of the flow of blood and
lymph, which have in consequence
Of this quiescence become sluggish ;
hence its frequency after one has
remained for some time in the same
position-for example, when wax
ing in the morning. Cooperating
with this cause is sleepiness and the
shallow breathing which it entails.
This factor, as well as muscle
quiescence, is apt to attend the
sense of boredom which one expe-
riences in listening to dull ser
mon; hence it is that the bored in
dividual is apt to yawn. AS in the
case of signing, the deep breath
which accompanies the act of yawn-
ing compensates for the shallow
breathing that is so apt to excite it.

Why a Scene In "Romeo and Juliet
Was Spoiled.

The supers used in big stage pro-
ductions have the appetites of eie-
plants. No food or drink used on
the stage is too mean for them to
neglect provided the property man
isn't looking. They drink th. cold
tea as though it was really wine in
stead of the fake vintage They
devoar the ginger cake that passes
for pate de foie gras. They have
even been known to attack realistic
papier mache grapes and the ices
made of cotton batting.
The play on this particular night
was 'ERomeo and Juliet and the
scene in Juliet's garden the piece de
resistance. The stage was filed
with apple trees in bloom. White
petals were scattered thickly on the
cocoa mating greensward. They
were not really apple blossoms, but
white, pulpy popcorn, substituted
for muslin flowers after many e1-
periments, because they looked just
as well and lasted longer. The fake
blossoms differed from the popcorn
Of the candy stores in one particu-
lar. The fremen thought the pulpy
corn increased the danger from fire

Test Association In Michigan.

Writing of the test association in
Michigan, Colon G. Lille says: A few
farmers in community owning suf-
ficient number of COWS simply meet
and organize under the laws of the
state, elect officers and hire a COM
petent man to do the testing. The eX-
pense is to be paid pro rata by each
man In proportion to the number OF
COWS he owns. 1t Is desirable to have
a sufficient number of cows in the as
sociation so that the expense will not
exceed 81 to $50 per COW a year. The
tester visits one herd day. He ar
rives in the afternoon, sees the COWS
milked, takes sample from each COW,
weighs her milk, estimates the feed and
the cost both night and morning. Then
he tests the milk of each COW and fig
ures out the cost of the ration, leav-
ing record with the farmer. This
farmer then takes him and his outfit
to the next farmer and so on. He gets
to each farm every month so that
farmer has monthly records each year.
AT the end of the year the tester fig
ures up the yield of milk and butter
fat and the value of the same, the cost
of feed given each COW and figures out
the profit or loss on each animal in the
herd and furnishes every patron with
this complete record. What dairyman
can afford to be without this knowledge
of his dairy herd when the expense
will not exceed 81 or $3.50 per COW?
Suppose man should come to you
and say that he would teh you just
ho, oil
ing on each cow for 81 or $1.50. Woul
you not think it bargain to accept
the proposition? And yet this is just
what cooperative cow testing asso-
citation offers to every man.

AGAINST Underfeedinu,

A medical man who is an ac-
knowledged authority on diet has
uttered a warning against the idea
that there is anything healthy in a
restricted diet. Disputing the popu-
lar belief in the prevalence of over
eating, he asserts that many deaths
from heart failure are largely due
to foolish neglect to take sufficient
nourishment. Rigorous dieting to
reduce weight is, he considers, al
ways dangerous. 1t is better to
work off the superfuous flesh by
exercise. Again, the habit of re-
stricting the food allowance results
in decline of appetite, whereas our
object should be to increase the ap-
petite and thereby strengthen the
digestive powers, assisting the result
by judicious exercise. The first
sign of illness in man or an animal
is usually loss of appetite, while, on
the other hand, a good appetite is
generally sign of fine health.-Ex-

A BATTLE OF HEROES
At Rocroy Eel! Forever the Once In
vinoibie Spanish Infantry.

In 1913 the Spanish governor of
the Netherlands, Francs of Mello,
besieged Rocroy, which is not far
/ from the frontier Of Flanders. The
army hastily sent up to relieve Ro-
croy was commanded by the youth
full Duke of Enghien, afterward
sEthe great Conde." He was but
twenty-five and had with him as
monitor in war the aged and timid
| Marshal FHopital. Enghien had
the daring Of a boy and the eye Of
a conqueror. He was one Of those
whom inexperience helps to great
victories.
Fearlessly he advanced his men
through dangerous defle, where
they might easily have been over
whelmed. Fearlessly he deployed
nnder the eyes of the Spanish army,
which stood in its slow, stolid way
waiting to be attacked. L'Hopital
held the right wing of the enemy in
check while Enghien routed their
left, and then with his light NOV
ing cavalry got around to their right
wing and routed that also, thus re-
ieving L'Hopital, who was hard
pressed. Still there remained COM
pact center, a reserve of Spanish
infantry, the invincible soldiers who
for SO long had triumphed on every
battlefield. Against these the I'm
petuous Enghien hurled himself,
and battle of heroes ragged. Thrice
the strong infantry of Spain dashed
back the waves of fierce assault. At
the fourth rush Of the gallant
French they broke and gave. The
great rock which had braved so
many storms tottered and fell. The
waves Of the victorious attack came
boiling and surging over the ruin.
Then fell forever the invincible
Spanish infantry, the terror of the
world. More than 100 years before
French courage had destroyed the
belief in the unconquerable Swiss.
Now Enghien had done the same
thing with the Spaniards. Rocroy
restored the threatened preponder-
ance of the French in the war.

Speaking of Rivers.

The Thames and the Seine are
about as large as the nameless
creeks that wander across almost
every country in America, while the
waters of the blue Danube could be
poured into the boiling food of the
Mississippi without changing its col
ors single shade.
What! You have never seen the
Mississippi! Then, suggests Guy
Walker in Good Housekeeping,
postpone your trip abroad and see
your own country first, for one of
the most awe inspiring sights in
nature, greater even than the roar
ing falls of Niagara, is to watch the
silent, majestic and resistless sweep
of the Mississippi at its food.

The Nurses Vocation.

The distinction between the wo-
man to whom nursing is vocation
and the woman who merely earns
her living by nursing is very real
one, although it is a very difficult
one to define. A nurse may be. full
of faults and yet have a true foca-
ton, while, on the other hand, a
woman of the most estimable type
may be lacking in the smallest spark
of the divine fire. The vocation for
nursing leaps out from the hum
blest as well as from the highest
homes in the kingdom. Its one
shining mark is its vitality.-Hos-
pital.
