The Drummer's Sermon.

Certainly | will make few re-
marks" says the cigar salesman who,
because of his solemn garb, has been
mistaken for a man of the cloth.
Ascending the platform, he says:
"Men are much like cigars. Often
you cannot tell by the wrapper what
the filler is. Sometimes good old
stogy is more popular than an i'm
ported celebrity. Some men are all
right In the showcase on display, but
are great disappointments when you
get them home. No matter how fine
a man is, eventually he meets his
match. A two-fer often puts on as
many airs as fifty-center. Some men
never get to the front at all except
during campaigns. Some are very
fancy outside and are selected for
presents. Others have rough ex-
terror, but spread cheer and comfort
about them because of what Is inside.
But all men. as all cigars, good or
bad. two-fers. stogies or rich or poor,
come to ashes at the last."-San Fran

these should be thinned out judiciously
the following summer. Those left will
ultimately form the new head.
1t is practically impossible to destroy
q severe infestation of the scale where
the branches of the tree are left high
up. In ordinary cases. however, where
there is little scale. such severe treat
ment is not advisable. but two or three
years should be taken to accomplish
this heading in. The first year only
one-third to one-half Of the main
branches should be cut severely-that
is. from six to twelve feet from where
they fork. The rest Of the top should
be cut back to a limited extent. Wa
ter sprouts will grow on the large
branches near where they fork from
the trunk. and the best Of these should
be allowed to grow, the balance being
thinned out the following summer.
The next year this same process
entirely new top cal be constructed,
ready for business. This will be in
from two to five years. according 20
the condition Of the tree. Where such
severe cutting back is practiced great
care must be exercised in the treat
ment of the wounds by painting or tar
ring for the first few years; otherwise
canker may set in and the branches
decay. The above directions are for
constructing a new top without any at
tempt to change the variety. Should
one wish to graft the top to new va
riety conditions would have to be
somewhat modified.

Sixteen year-old Edna L. Biting is
the youngest farmer Ia the United
States and is considered one of the
most expert stud ents Of agriculture
in New Jersey. She has taken COM

that Hillside is one of the most pros

Agriculture is dry to. read about, but

to become farmer, but l prefer It to
anything else and will visit city only

Miss Biting has always been con-

she maintained a high standard while
attending school, When she declined
to enter an agricultural college she
said she could master farming from
books without further instruction.
That she has succeeded even beyond
her own expectations she admits and
is delighted over the fact.

MYSTERY OF SLUMBER.
Our Sense of Time Keener When
Asleep Than When Awake.

Our Sense of Time Keener When
Asleep Than When Awake.
While it is true no one knows ex-
actly what sleep is, some curious
facts have been discovered about it
lately. For example, when we sleep
the lower half of us weighs more
than the upper half-the brain is
lighter and the legs heavier. Ex-
periments have shown that if man
goes to sleep on bed suspended ex-
actly at the middle point of his
weight his head begins to tip slow
ly up and his feet to go down.
When he awakens it is to find that
his head is getting nearer and near
er the floor and his feet nearer the
ceiling. This is due to the fact that
when we are asleep the blood in the
brain goes off to other parts OF the
body. The moment the brain
awakes to life again it draws the
blood back. In fact, the physician
can give sleep to the most restless
individualain a few seconds by tight
~ COMPRISING the great arteries in
the neck that carry blood to the
brain. fe
Our sense Of time. is stronger
when we are asleep than when we
are awake. Experiments conducted
some years ago on number of men
and women between the ages OF
twenty and thirty showed that so
per cent of them were able to wake
up in the morning at any time they
had decided upon the night before.
The resolve seems to wind up lit
tie clock in the subconscious brain.
When the hour arrives the clock
gives the alarm in some mysterious
way to the day shift of the brain,
and the eyelids open. Then the
night shift goes to sleep in turn, or
at least the clock does not seem to
work in the daytime. You can test
this by resolving some morning to
look at your watch at 1920. 1t is
a hundred to one that you will not
do it unless by chance.
It is quite likely that when all
the mysteries of sleep are probed
the various phenomena will be
found closely correlated with cleo
tricity as identified with life. 1t is
not improbable that the molecular
components of the physical organ
ism are both negative and positive,
and the human activity is simply
the expenditure of given amount
of this electrical force. When the
cells have been emptied the desire
for sleep comes. Nature demands
that the batteries be recharged, and
she can only fill them properly when
the objective functions of the body
are at rest, thus permitting the en-
ergy Of the human machine to be
devoted entirely to the subjective
recharging process. While the proc
ess is going on we have "sleep."
