THE NECESSITY OF SLEEP.
Daylight and Darkness and the Power
of Sight Regulate the Hours
Of Rest.

If we are to believe an eminent
British scientist We should. were 1t
always daytime" never sleep. In his
opinion there is no particular reason
why we, or any of the other animals,
should rest, on an average, eight or
nine hours day.
That period of rest. We are assured.
has been determined by the fact that
eight hours is the average period
wherein there is lack of sufficient
light to enable us to move about and
have our being in comfort
1t further appears that the most
fundamental distinction between day
and night is wholly relative to the
sense of sight. 1t affects only those
types of life which have developed
eyes. Plants being dependent for
their growth upon the action of rays
of sunlight that fall upon their leaves,
have wide distinction between day
and night functions. They eat and
digest in the light and grow during
the hours of darkness.
The lower forms of animal life-the
sightless inhabitants of ocean depths
do not rest at regular intervals. They
prowl about incessantly, seeking prey
by the sense Of touch alone. When
they rest, we are told. 1t is at irregular
intervals. In other words, they have
no distinct periodicity of their own.
But soon as eyes are developed. and in
proportion to this development, ami
mails begin to divide their times into
two main portions. a waking and q
sleeping time. While there is light
they perform all motive functions:
when darkness comes they retire to
nest or lair to rest

cannot be proved beyond a doubt, but
her husband must have been convinced
of the fact.
Thomas Phillip was farmer and
lived in East Fork township many
years ago. He had more than the av-
erage amount of intelligence and
passed much of his time reading the
high grade books and magazines of the
day
Many of his neighbors declared he
had peculiar ways. and the women
wife did not know much about the do
mestic side of life.
She was advised to do this and to
do that
Her neighbors were all fond Of
her"-this they exhibited by their care
full solicitation as to everything she
did, everything she wore, everywhere
she went, and everybody she was seen
talking to.
When Mrs. Smith called in the after
noon she never failed to tell Mrs. Phil
lip how much better that blue gown
would have looked If she had only
trimmed 1t in white instead Of black;
When Mrs. Brown and her husband
came over to supper the host was in
formed how much more delicious the
coffee would have been If 1t had been
allowed to boil just a speck longer.

settlement Mrs. Phillip was the recip.
tent Of all the gossip in the neighbor.
hood-and she just had to listen to 1t
all, whether she wanted to or not.
Those were only little milestones
in the life which Mrs. Phillips neigh,
bors led her.
One day she took sick and died
from nervous prostration within a
short time Her husband claimed all
this volunteer advice had worried her
into sickness.
After she was buried he caused the
tombstone with the above inscription
to be placed at the head Of her grave
He is buried beside her.

Boat Driven by Waves.

There is boat. of Italian invention,
whose motive power is supplied solely
by the action of waves. Elastic floats,
submerged a short distance, are at.
tached to the stern or bow of the boat.
One end Of the float is left free to
bend up and down with the impulse of
the water. The result of the action Of
the waves is to drive the boat in d.
rection away from the free end Of the
floats. The speed is two or three miles
an hour. The motion of the boat is in
dependent Of the direction of the
waves, and can be across or against
as we'll as with the wind. The in
ventor received his inspiration from
his study of the motions Of fishes, and
he regards the action of the elastic
floats as resembling that of fish, 9

the fact that mind Is the power that
has done all things, that the dominion
1T has gained over the elements and
external conditions 1t can gain over
itself.
I'VE teach that the source of hap
piness is in serving, in helping others.
We believe that the greatest help
comes from self-knowledge, self-con-
troll. which enables us to be at our
best in our contact with the world.
AS our members gain this self-knowl-
edge they go out as teachers and give
what they have learned to others who
have had fewer opportunities.
I'm the point Of health we recognize
and use the powers of the mind to
control the soundness of the body;
where 1t Is necessary we exercise the
power of healing. but all our work is
simply a training of the Individual in
self-knowledge.
''It is along the line of the Emman-
uel movement. but is more definite In
that we have classes meeting several
times week for drill in our principles
We have a printed lesson and publish
a magazine.
1T is league of women with an
associate membership Of men. We be-
long to the general federation and to
the city federation.
Three principles in the technique
Of self-knowledge must not be omitted:
Il. The discovery that the body re-
spends to every thought and emotion.
"2. The body is transformed in this
responsive thought.
"3. From the beginning the definite
drill and practice in the technique of
right thinking brings about the trans
formation Of suffering body to q
healthy body"

s.456 in 1907 and 5,7O5 in 1906. The
new crop commenced coming in at the
end of February, 1910. and there Is
every indication that all previous rec
ords will again be broken.
The crop in Nyassaland during the
past season has been the most sue
cessful on record: the increase by the
white planters was 800 acres and the
whole increase, about 5000 acres, put
under cultivation Of cotton. The ma
tive has proved that he is capable of
growing cotton equal in quality to
that produced by Europeans.
