MYSTERY OF sLumBER.
Our Sense Of Time kesnsr When
Asleep Than When Awake.

Our Sense Of Time kesnsr 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 a 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
awakcs to life again it draws the
blood back. In fact, the physician
can give sleep to the most restless
individual in few seconds by tight
ly COMPRISING the great arteries in
the neck that carry blood to the
brain.
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 50
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. It is
hundred to one that you will not
do it unless by chance.
1t 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. It 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 ttsleep."-

A Wise Answer.

The shah once asked a group of
courtiers whom they thought the
greater man-himself or his father.
At first he could get no reply to SO
dangerous question, the answer to
which might cost the courtiers
their heads. At last a willy old
courtier said, 'Your father, sire,
for, though you are equal to your
father in all other respects, in this
ne is superior to you-that he had
a greater son than any you have"

An Ancient French Custom.

Anciently in many parts Of
France when a sale Of land took
place it was the custom to have
twelve adult witnesses accompanied
by twelve little boys, and when the
price Of the land was paid and its
surrender took place the ears of the
boys were pulled and they were
beaten severely so that the pain
thus inflicted should make an i'm
preston upon their memory and, if
required afterward, they might bear
witness to the sale.

IDA LEWIS, HEROINE.
A Woman Lighthouse Keeper Who Has
Saved T~wenty.thpee Lives.

An interesting sketch of unfalter-
ing devotion and heroism is con-
tributed to the American Magazine by
Herbert Ladd Walford. 1t has to
deal with the life and work Of Ida
Lewis, who has been the keeper of
the Lime Rock Light on Rhode ISL
and's coast for fifty-three years. Mr..
Walford writes of her as follows:
In a lonely lighthouse on a jut-
ting ledge of lime rock on Rhode ISL
and's coast, Ida Lewis is rounding out
fifty-three years of Government SER
vice. The nations veteran keeper.
she guards the entrance to Nara
gansett Bay. Hale in her siXty-five
years of strenuous activity, she is still
untiring, dauntless and brave. In the
face Of gale and storm she has
snatched from the tumbling waters
of her steady beacon t~wenty-three
human lives. Five Of these lives she
saved last summer. She is a pen
sioner Of the Carnegie Hero Fund,
holds the Government First Glass
Medal for Bravery and the American
Cross OF Honor.
Ida VALLEY Zoradia Lewis was
made assistant keeper of Lime Rock
Light by Congress in 1879 and sue
ceeded her mother in 1887 as keeper.
Her father was also keeper at his
death in 1872. Known the country
over for her l~ife-saving, she is a
unique character. Her island home
is full of mementos of her valor, and
is the Mecca of tourists all the year.
Modest and CHEEKY, she talks little Of
her deeds, but can show a hatful Of
medals from the greatest of the land.
The Benevolent Life Saving Associa-
zion of New York and the Humane
Society of Massachusetts have both
honored her.
The United States awarded her a
grand medal in gold for saving two

Temperance Notes.

Studies of pauperism and its causes
ard diseases which follow from tho
neglect of hygienic living show that
alcohol is both an active and prediS-

Hugh Edwards, Liverpool, says in the
course of his communication: Il was

Chenille embroidery or filet lace
mesh is the latest thing for trimming
all kinds of materials, and is suitable
for chiffon, for cloth, silk or any of
the novelty fabrics. One perfectly
stunning piece has on a Caledonian
green filet net, a Persian design in
dull soft tones, much green used that
harmonizes with the net. At the top
edge is a narrow black satin band,
and at the other a wider band, and an
inch above a border design is a very
narrow satin fold.

When Christianity is Under Fire.

EhSh " oAoS
The enemies of God have been as-
sailing Him since the world began.
but His throne Is unmoved. Demons
by the legion glared at Jesus and
sought to overthrow Him, but His
Kingdom is more secure than ever
The Word Of God has been scissored
and burned, but every jot and little
of it remains, and will remain tin
earth and the heavens pass away.
The saints have been sneered, at
scourged,. and slain, but they have
multiplied till for multitude they are
as the.sands of the sea and the stars
of the sky. And till the end >of time
the foes of right will do their work
and go their way, leaving the church
triumphant, the Bible undestroyeds
and God forever upon His throne.
Therefore when Christianity is .un-l
der fire, as it Is to-day, be not nerve
Gus, trembling for the ark of God or
fearful that the Kingdom of God can
now or ever be destroyed.
And do not flight fire. with fire.
Abuse and sarcasm, chicaneryi and
falsehood are in the hands Of your
foes, but to bring down the giant
David must not wear the armor OF
Saul. b
Nor rely altogether upon intellect
ual weapons. Argument for the sake
of argument Is seldom convincing.
Be spiritual, first of all; for q spir-s
ltual life is the best possible answer
to the critics Of the cross. In wordys
augmentation men may muddle your
brain, but they cannot pump the life
blood out of your heart.
Be loyal to God and His Word.
Allegiance to His sovereignty and un-
waveripg confidence in Fills Word are
forts OF strength in time Of war.
Be aggressive, eyangelistic, mts-.
sionary. Instead OF stopping to
SILVER with fear or parley with foe,
herald the good news of salvation fer,
vently, faithfully, persistently., Do
not wait to even contend that the:
Word is the Word; proclaim it ana
see 1t win its own way! 4
And In all, be courageous, wise.a
hopeful, p~ersevering. For they who
are blasting at the Rock OF Ages
can do nothing more than remove
bits of the moss that have gathered
there. And they who would dissect
the, Bible are unable to insert the
scalpel deeper than the cuticle OF
creed or the wart Of a theological sys-
tenn. And they who by sdispute and
denial would destroy tue deity OF
Jesus might as we'll ettem1t to warm

COMPLAIN OF CAR SERVICE.
Piney Branch Citizens Object to 18th
Street Schedule,

The operation of the 14th street car
line by the Capital Traction Company
was criticised at meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the Piney Branch Citi-
zens' Association last evening at the
residence of II. H. Butler. president of
the association. The manner in which
the transportation of passengers who go
as far as the loop is handled was de-
clared to be unbusinesslike.
Instances were related where car
was delayed as long as eleven minutes
at the Decatur street barn, while several
members recited experiences that SEEM
ed to show that when car bearing the
designation "Piney Branch Road reach
ed the barn 1t was sometimes turned in
and passengers compelled to alight and
await a later car that might and might
not enable them to continue their jour-
ney.
