Colors Warm and Cool.

One clear, cold winters day, Benjamin
Franklin spread a number of handker
chiefs carefully on a level stretch of snow.
One of the handkerchefs was black, an
other white and the others of various
colors. Some time afterward he returned
and removed the handerchiefs carefully
one by one, measuring the depth of snow
under each Under the black handker
chief he found thai the snow had melted
considerably; under a red handkerchief,
almost as much; under the blue handker-
chief, very little, and under the white one,
scarcely any By this simple experiment
he learned that color has a great deal to
do with the warmth of clothing. White
sheds the suns heat almost as well as an
oilskin sheds water; blue is nearly as heat
proof; green is less so; yellow is warm
color; red a still warmer color, while
black soaks up almost all the suns heat

Mahlon Wins, Jr., of Merchanivile, has
a reputation as an actor and takes part in
nearly all of the local shows. In the last
show that was given. Shorty had one of

After the show, while he was taking off
his makeup, an elderly man made his APP

Dreams Aid the Doctors.

ttysteria and neurasthenia and other
nerve diseases may often be cured, it is
asserted, by aScertaining what ais the
patient by studying his subconscious
mind while in the dream state.
One Of the principal uses of psyche
ANALYSIS is the removal of DECISIONS and
decisions and abnormal fears. The pa
denis recounts his dreams to his ply
sician. The man of science jots them
DOWN and analyses them and then rea
sons with the patient. Many persons,
for instance, have a strange fear of going
INTO open places or of heights; they have
strange dislikes, such as marked aver
sions to cats and dogs or to certain colors
and foods.
The disciple of Freud determine by
analysis the origin OF these obsessions.
and find that in most instances they are
due to half forgotten incidents OF early
childhood. Having convinced the pa
tient of the cause of his abnormal ideas,
the physician is often able TO get him to
automatically correct his abnormal
state.-Ne5O York Herald

Lure of Pedigree.

The art OF pedigree taking, has no
doubt, had its professors ever since man s
vanity first yearned for ancestors more
distinguished than himself, and his
purse was more capacious than his con-
science. and this craving for exalted
lineage seems to pervade all classes and
TO be shared impartally by both sexes,
says London H2deyu Society. Pick up
any peerage book, and Won will find it
all brlstling with ancestral names whose
presence is much more difficult to ex-
plain than that of the fly in the amber.
And as YOU descend in the social scale
the ictions multiply-from the pedigrees
OF the landed gentry TO the family trees
proudly cherished in hundreds of middle
class homes. Many of our ducal pedl-
grees are, in part, ludicrously false. as
every trained genealogist knows They
abound in myths which have no more
basis OF fact than the story of Cinderella.
or Jack the Giant Killer, and yet they
hold up their unblushing heads year after
year-often without the sanction of the
noble families whose ancestry they pro
TESS to give.
But these lineages-aspiring as they
are-are of mushroom growth compared
with many that are claimed by MANY a
less high placed family. At Mostyn Hall
you may see vellum roll seven yards
long, headed by no less famous an an
cestor. than Adam. the son Of God
Another pedigree at the College of
Heralds starts modestly with Adam and
the Garden Of Eden. and Wales has
many family tree which traces their
descent with unering hand from the same
remote source. The Lytes of Lyte
Cary, are content with more recent orr
gin from Leitus, a Broeotian warrior of

The Girl Guide Movement.

There Is a great demand IN the large
cities OF this country for a movement in
behalf OF our Young girls similar to that
OF the Boy Scouts As advocated in
New York City recently. the idea de-
serves the earnest support OF those who
see the vast importance OF giving the
children OF the present generation the
right means of development to At them
for successful future
The new organization IS TO be known as
the Girl Guides. Its chief object is 10
induce the girls to leave the CITY and 90
INTO the country. 1t aims to instil dis
clpllne and self reliance in the minds Of
lis members; and to insure them physical
exercise and mental change. Il is being
assisted BY many prominent and wealthy
women. who realize that in this country
the young women are entitled 10 and
should receive the same careful attention
which Is being bestowed upon the bows.
The benefit which the latter secure
through their acquaintance with nature
with It's accompaniment of fresh air and
outdoor exercise. should they think. be
also experienced by the girls. in order
that they may grow robust and self
reliant
The success Of the movement. will Of
course, depend upon the question
whether it will appeal to the feminine
mind. The Boy Scout idea has spread
rapidly through the enthusiastic and eff
cient organization and because they are
thoroughly masculine. The ultimate
result of the latest social movement must
largely rest with the girls whom it is
intended to benefit. = Washington HeraLa.

Mr.. Lewis for House Reforms.

In the House recently Congressman
Lewis of the Sixth District Of Maryland
introduced resolution which is the re-
suit OF thorough and exhaustive study
made by him since his election of the
methods and procedure in foreign legisla-
tive bodies and parliamants.
Mr.. Lewis believes that in many re-
spects the legislative bodies abroad cor
responding to the American House of
Representatives, have an advantage in
their methods of doing business and or
ganlzatlon. The cumbersome processes
of the House in many countries abroad
are avoided by simple and easy means
and the deliberative character of their
Legislative bodies is enhanced.
Mr.. Lewis, in his resolution, does not
attempt to indicate the reforms in the
House organization which he believes
could he advantageously made, but sim
ply asks that the present House Commit
tee on Rules investigate the methods of
organization and legislatively procedure
abroad and report to the House recon-
mendations. if found feasible, designed
to insure to each member a wider partici-
patton in a consultative way in House
legislation in the formative stage and to
assure the expeditions consideration BY
the House membership of public bills and
resolutions in relation to the general well
fare
He believes that a comparison of the
methods here and those abroad will con-
vince any man who takes the time and
trouble to go thoroughly into it that
great improvement can be made in the
House.
II an opportunity is presented he ex-
poets TO make a speech on his resolution,
pointing out some of the best features of
the legislative bodies abroad. He does
not expect to revolutionize the present
House, but does believe in asking the
Committee on Rules to look into the
matter and make recommendations that
ne IS asking an entirely practical and fea-
sibe thing.
