THINK BEFORE BREAKFAST.
You Can Do t Better eseauss Your
 'Aaind Wit B. cisarer.''

| Man0 VIII oo NtoSref.
 To say "Think before you eat" sounds something like "Look be- fore you leap." and there is really 1 just as much reason for one as for the other, according to many au- thorities who have long studied mankind to learn when they were capable of their best thinking. If a man is dependent upon his life work by means of his thinking it is just as important that he should choose that time when he is best qualified to think as it is impor- tant that he should look before he crosses street.
 Morning, before breakfast, is said to be the very best time for think ing. There are always exceptions. Then, again, there are many who declare they can think better at night who perhaps never made the experiment of giving serious thought to anything before breakfasting. 1 Men who employ thousands of op- eratives, clerks and such people are agreed that their employees produce a great deal more work during the hour before they go to lunch than they do during the hour right after lunch.
 Of course the reason for this IS quite natural. The food taken into the stomach calls upon the blood to help do it's share in the work of di- gestion, and this leaves less blood in the brain. When all the blood goes from the brain, or nearly all, a per son becomes unconscious-that is, utterly unable to think at all in any degree. Consequently it is only logic to claim that anything that takes the blood from the brain de- tracts just so much from ones thinking capacity.
 Probably the majority of novelists do the best part of their work in the morning. Many of them take a very light breakfast, cup of mild coffee and some toast, and then write four or five hours. After that they take a hearty meal and devote the remainder of the day to play that is, to idleness or exercise or motoring or anything that amuses them, but docs not call for brain concentration.
 A great many business men have a habit of dictating all their letters the first thing upon entering their office in the morning. Other let ters that come through the day are unanswered except in cases of neces- sity until the next morning.. In this manner these men are able to think clearly and concisely and quickly in the morning and dictate much better letters-letters that are clearer and of more value to the business man.
 After a big dinner, specially hearty meal, we feel dull and heavy Feeling like that, we are certainly not as brilliant mentally as we were before cating.-Ncw York Ameri- can.

Candles Used as a Clock.

Various expedients for measuring time were in use before the inven- tion of clocks. Alfred the Great caused six tapers to be made for his daily use. Each taper was twelve inches long and of proportionate diameter. The whole length was divided into twelve parts of one inch each, of which three would burn for one hour, SO that each ta- per should be consumed in four hours. The six tapers, lighted one after another. lasted twenty-four hours.-Indianapolis News.
