Mystery of Sleep.

Sleep. in which we spend about
third of our lives, continues to be one
of the mysteries of biology, despite
the attempts of scientists to find So
luton. DIR. Raphael Dubois of Mar
seilles, after a prolonged series OF eX-
periments on alternating animals, has
come to the conclusion that sleep is
due to antitoxin or poisoning by GER
tain waste products. which accumu-
late in the brain, and are only got
rid of by sleep. DIR. Claparede of Ge-
neva thinks that sleep is an instinct
devised for the protection of the or
ganism. 1t was DR.. Ramon CaJal
who formulated the neurotic theory,
according to which the neutrones or
pyramidal cells in the gray matter OF
the brain sink down and cease to eX-
cite each other during sleep.
But there are objections to these
theories, and all others that have been
advanced. 1t is a matter of absolute
! knowledge that in sleep there is a
certain absence Of blood in the
brain. Anything that lessons the sup,
ply of blood to the brain is likely to
induce sleep. For this reason, keep
ing the head cool and the feet warm
| is recommended as one of the best
means of oyercrowding sleeplessness
Absence of light, noise and strong
odors help to produce the loss of con
sciousness. which is the chief charac
/ teristic of true sleep.

FACE DISFIGURED WITH

about five months ago little blisters
appeared on my face. They looked
like blisters from fire burns. They
itched and burned something terrible.
which caused me to rub them and they
burst, then sores appeared which dis

of sores. The disease spread from my
face to my nee. and back. When any
thing touched them they would burn
and stick to my clothes, which kept
me from sleeping and made me suf-
fer terribly.

FRANZ JOSEF'S KIND HEART
Little Incident That May Explain Why
Ruler of Austria Is Loved by
His Subjects.

Sense of humor is another strong
trait of Emperor Franz Josef. One day,
unannounced, Franz Josef visited the
military academy at Wiener-Neustadt
entered a classroom and, saying to the
officer hearing a recitation: Don't let
me disturb you," took seat. On the
bench behind him he put his generals
hat, crowned with it's bush OF long
straight feathers. A boy eyed the
green plumes, then slyly stretched his
hand out and plucked one. Emboldened
by success, he took four, and would
have taken the rest had he not
touched his emperor's arm in the
process.
What are you doing that for?
asked Franz Josef, viewing the de-
pleted bunch.
For a souvenir" the boy suffered.
But why so many?"
"My comrades would each want one,
too" was the frank response.
well, | suppose there is no way out
of it but to give you the whole lot
said the emperor, by this time laugh
ing heartily as he tore loose the bush.
Turning to the teacher, whose frown
of horror had been lost on the small
boy, his majesty remarked, But, cap
tain, you must kindly lend me your
cay to go home in."-Pictorial Review

CHANGED MIND ABOUT MULE
Iieutenant's Ideas as to Kindness and
Firmness Vanished Soon After the
Animal Got Busy.

There is a lieutenant in an ONO
regiment who believed that mules
we're much maligned. and that if well
treated a mule would behave accord
ingly. In his own company was a
mule with a bad reputation. and the
lieutenant undertook to tame him.
Il will show you how this mule
should be treated,2 said the officer.
So he had the mule brought in front
of his tent. saddled him without re-
sistance or protest, and patted him
kindly on the neck.
He needs kind but firm treatment,
said the lieutenant.
Then he mounted the mule, which
walked six steps, danced three steps
executed an original hop, step and
Jump with each leg, and then projected
the lieutenant into the air and into a
thorny bush.
Catch the brute and kill him.
said the lieutenant, as the hospital
corps assisted him to his tent. The
men caught the mule. but did not Kill
him. He was Just as good as any Other
| mule.

Little Katherine is a believer in the
outdoor life, and she does not confine
her fresh-air activities to her own
backyard. Her mother recently had a
load of sand placed in the rear of the
yard, thinking Katherine would devote
her time to playing in the sand. She
did play there part of the time, and
part of the time she was out OF the
yard.

perated because her daughter was not
staying in the yard, don't you know
had that man bring this sand here to
keep you in the yard?"

SNARING SARDINES

in tin boxes by women seated at long
tables. The boxes are classed as
wholes. halves and quarters. The
quarter box contains eight or ten sar.
dimes and is the most familiar size.
Sometimes pimento, sliced lemons and
pickles and other codiments are put
in the bottom of the box
The filled boxes are placed on large
trays and carried to the oiling room,
where the voids are quickly filed with
oil flowing from a row of taps which
the operator contrc's with one hand
while with the othe, she brings each
box in turn under a stream of oil.
The boxes are sealed either By
soldering or by foiting and pinchins

soldering iron is continuously heated

The sealed boxes are sterilized at a
