Why Southern Illinois Is Called Egypt

The year 1924 was very wet. Heavy
rains fell frequently. Corn on fiat lands
was a total failure. This. year the
weevil destroyed the wheat after 1t was
harvested. The next year, 1925. there
was a remarkable growth Of thistles
on the branch bottoms. The winter OF
1830-31 was known as the winter Of
deep o The snow vas Of a depth
of from two and a half to three feet
on a level. 1t drifted much and was
very destructive to fruit trees. The
weather was intensely hot. Both in
1881 and 1892 h early frosts SO injured
the corn as to entirely render 1t worth
less for almost any purpose.
During the years between and includ-
ing 1824-32, so nearly corresponding to
the a Of famine in the days Of
Pharaoh and his ruler, as he made Jo-
seph to be, the people of Illinois, de-
pendent upon the southern part Of the
state for SO much grain, particularly
corn, that people In remembrance Of
the bible story began to call the part
Of the state which had been 80 helpful
in time of need Egypt.

From the Family Doctor
Reading in bed. like most luxuries.
can be overdone. In fact there seems to
be only excuse for this fascinating
way Of ending the day. Certain people
find that their worries accumulate In
their brains after bedtime; their nerves
are at high tension and their minds are
actively at work trying to solve prob
lens that should have been left behind
In the city.
Going to bed with the brain in such a,
state mean that with nothing to dis
tract the thoughts, hearing nothing and
seeing nothing in the darkness irnagina-
ton has full sway and hours Of wake
fulness may be h result. Such e man,
we think. will find half an hours read
ing in bed a great help.

quality n position Of the light so that

c FOR SICK NJ
Ingenious Johnnie.

TONI tHe DeIlHedtOr.
Mother HAD a bright red apple which
she wished to give to the children, at
the same time teaching the little broth
er a lesson in generosity. Johnnie had
a peculiar fondness for apples.
Calling him to her side. she said:
Nov, dear, mamma has a nice, rosy
apple to give u and she wants you
to be generous" That word was not in
Johnnie's vocabulary, so he said,
Mamma, what do you mean by being
generous?"
oh dear, hat means you are to
divide the apple into two parts, and
give sister the larger" -
Johnnie was silent. Suddenly his face
frightened. as he handed the apple
again to his mother, saying, Mamma,
give 1T to sister and tell her to be gen.

Tho Dreamer.

The dreamer dreamed, and the busy
world
Passed by with a knocking smile,
AS 1t went in search OF the worlds re.
wards,
But the dreamer dreamed the while.
He saw the world as the world should bt
When longer years had run,
And the world but paused in It's work "a
ask:
Pray, what has the dreamer done?"
Yet ever the dreamer dreamed his dream.
Until, in some wondrous way
AS the water, s%pringing in deeps Of earth
Finds passages to upper day
The dreamer's dream found the man OF
power
It's strange how mems lives are knit
Who knew not the dreamer, but took his
dream
And transformed the world with 1t.
The world bows down to the man OF
power
Forgotten the dreamer dies.
Yet the dream he dreamed is the secret
force
That has forged mems destinies.

darkly trail
Ger the ebbing tide OF the UNI

/ shall fare me away, with a dip
Of sail,

Some loving souls that my heart

And greeted the friends who

London's smell-when the Londoner

A Cheap Homemade Barometer

A weather man described the other day
a cheap, home made barometer.
He said 1t was only necessary TO AXE a
piece of string about Is inches long. and
to soak 1t several hours in a strong solu-
ton OF salt and water.
After being dried, the striag should have
a Night weight tied to one end. and being
hung up against a wall, a mark being
made to show where the weight caches.
The barometer is now complete. 1t is as
accurate as a 500 instrument. The weight
rises for wet weather and fall for fine.
