WHY THEY SLEEP IN CHURCH.
Hypnotism, Not Drowsiness, Declared
to Be the Cause.

"Churchgoers don't sleep in church.
They undergo an hypnotic trance.
The soothing voices and mild music
and monotonous recitative of a church
service put forth powerful hypnotic
influences, and that is why the pews
resemble a railroad track in the
abundance of their sleepers."
The speaker, a hypnotist, banged
the table vehemently.
Don't laugh" he said. Its true.
Hypnotism, not drowsiness, is what
makes you sleep in church. Through
your auditory nerve sound waves are
passed to your brain that are as eff
fective as though a professional hyp.
notist had made them. Sound, you
know, is the newest and best hyp-
motto.
''At first, in the church service, the
periodicity of the wave alterations is
short. There is a little speaking,
then more music. And just when you
are getting properly lulled the clergy
man, in a modulated, agreeable, sooth-
ing voice, speaks on and on and on
and you begin to nod. You are, hyp-
notically speaking, entranced.
"The average church service is 3
scientifically correct hypnotic instru-
ment. No wonder, then, it puts many
of us to Sleep"

On the Judues.

A celebrated Scottish lawyer had to
address the Caledonian equivalent Of
our supreme court. His pleading" oc-
cupied an entire day. After seven
hours of almost continuous oratory he
went home, at supper and was asked
to conduct family worship. AS he was
exhausted his devotions were brief.
Il am ashamed of ye," said the old
mother. ITO think ye could talk for
seeven hoors up at the court and dis
miss your Maker in seeven minutes" :"
"Ay, verra true" was the reply, but

WESTERN CANADA CROPS
CANNOT Be CHECKED.
OATS YIELDED 90 BUSHELS TO
THE ACRE.

The following letter written the Do
minion Government Commissioner OF
Emigration speaks for itself. 1t proves
the story of the Agents of the Gov
ernment that on the free homesteads
offered by the Government it is pos
eible TO become comfortably well off
in few years:
Regina, Sask., 23rd Nov, 1907.
Commissioner of immigration,
Winnipeg.
Dear Sir:
1t is with pleasure that I reply to
your request. Some years ago took
up a homestead for myself and also
one for my son. The half section
which we own is situated between
Rouleau and Drinkwater, adjoining
the Moose Jaw creek, is a low level
and heavy land. We put in 70 acres OF
wheat in stubble, which went 20 bush
els to the acre. and 80 acres of sum-
mer fallow, which went 20 bushels to
the acre. All the wheat we harvested
this year is No. hard. That means
the best wheat that can be raised on
the earth We did not sell any wheat yet
as we intend to keep one part for
our own seed, and sell the other part
to people who want first-class seed,
for there is no doubt if you sow good
wheat you will harvest good wheat.
We also threshed 5000 bushels OF
first-class oats out of 100 acres. 80
acres has been fall plowing which
yielded 80 bushels per acre, and S0
acres stubble, which went 80 bushels
to the acre. These oats are
the best kind that can be
raised. We have shipped three car
loads of them, and got SO cents per
bushel clear. All our grain was cut
in the last week of the month of
August before any frost could touch
it.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had a late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were
very adverse and unfavorable, we will
make more money out of our crop
this year than last.
For myself I feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
checked, even by unusual conditions
I am, dear sir,
Yours truly,
(Signed) A. Kaltenbrunner.

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
AFTER SPIRITED DEBATE 1T, IN
AMENDED FORM, PASSED
TIE SENATE.
PLEA FOR AUXILIARY NAVY
In Case of War at Present Our Beast
ed Fleet Would be Useless
as Painted Ships on
Painted Ocean.

Washington. Mar. 21.-The ship
subsidy bill was passed by the senate
Friday. il pays to 16-knot vessels ply
ing between this country and South
America, the Philippines, Japan, China
and Australasia 81 per mile, the
amount awarded by the act OF 1891
to vessels of 20 knots only.
The bill was amended in the senate
so that 12-knot vessels will receive 81
per mile which is the allowance under
existing law to 16-knot vessels.
Amendments were also adopted pro-
viding that if two or more lines of
steamships ply from Atlantic ports to
South America under the provisions
of the bill, one line shall stop at two
ports south of Cape Charles, and
stipulating that no more shall be paid
for subsidies than is received from
ship service by the government.
During the consideration of the
measure Mr.. Hale made a spirited
plea for an auxiliary navy, declaring
that without auXiiaries our navy is
dependent upon foreign countries and
that in case of war we would be help
less
An amendment was proposed by
Mr.. Newlands for the creation of a
commission consisting of the secretary
of the navy, the postmaster general
and the secretary of commerce and
labor to provide for the construction
of 81 vessels at cost of as many
millions of dollars available as auXil-
larry vessels for the navy anG to be
useful to be let out on new lines of
transportation on terms satisfactory
to the government.
Mr.. Newlands' amendment served to
elicit notable speech from Senator
Hale, chairman of the committee on
naval affairs. He spoke of the great
need for additional auxiliary ships for
the navy, but said they should be
provided for in the naval appropria-
tion bill.
Mr.. Hale said there were with the
American fleet now going around the
world only nine golfers of our own,
while there we're 2S foreign coliers.
IF there should be war no govern
ment would allow us to use one of
these GOLFERS and without them our
magnificent fleet would be as useless
as Il painted ship on painted ocean"
he asserted in measured but empha-
tic phrase.
Mr. Hale declared that the American
fleet was the most magnificent and
formidable squadron of ships any ma
tion had ever put on the ocean.
But" Senator Hale declared, the
people do not realize how helpless the
fleet is without colliers that are now
liable to be called away in moment
of need by foreign governments.
'If there should be-" he said. even
a menace of war, / do not know but
that every neutral power represented
in those ships would be compelled to
withdraw them from the fleet and we
would be hung up. Something must
be DONE" he added, lin this entirely
neglected field that we have in fool
hardy way rashly abandoned in the
past"
