SOME FACTS ABOUT SLEEP
Caused by Withdrawal of Blood From tho Brain, Says Modern
 Physioiogy.

All the organs of life rest in somo way or other. The heart has an in- teryal of rest between each combined act of contraction and expansion and the beginning of a fresh act Be- tween each expiration of the lungs and the succeeding inspiration there is period of repose. Psychologists have calculated that the heart re- poses during about one-fourth of tho time.
 Certain of the other organs suspend their activity in part during sleep. Old physiologists supposed that sleep was caused by the pressure of the blood on the brain. But modern physiology, with a tendency to regard the brain as the origin of all force and of all functions of the body, in- clines to the view that sleep is caused by a withdrawal of blood from the brain.
 AS rule, the larger the brain the more sleep 1t requires. Webster went to bed at nine o'clock and rose at five. General Grant used to say dur ing his campaigns, q can do noth. ing without nine hours sleep"
 A curious trait has marked men of large brain-that of sleeping at will Bonapar:e used to throw himself on the ground and go to sleep within a space of two minutes. Pitt was a sound sleeper, and slept night after night !n the house Of commons while his colleagues watched the debate and reused him when 1t was peces. sary that he should speak

 ing. Four of the best architects at
 our command assure us that we would
 not be satisfied with any additions we might make commensurate with our needs to the present building. And last, since we have outgrown the building and find it wholly inadequate to meet the demands for which it was erected, there is nothing to do but to take it down and put the new one in its place.
 There is the least of pride in this matter at all. No one that I have heard speak of the matter but what deplores the taking down of the pres ent building. There is no disposition to match brick and mortar Our en- largement is both necessity and a duty. Our Sunday School, on it's best days, can hardly find standing room in the present building. More than 200 of it's students have been taught outside it's walls for more than two years. When a mans business out grows his present quarters there is only one of two things to do; let his business suffer for lack of room or else take away and inlarge and make room for future growth.

OR. STEEL TELLS
 OF CHURCH PLANS
WORK TO BEGIN OCT. 1.
OLD BUILDING TO BE DEMOL- ISHED AFTER ONLY 12
 YEARS USE.

The plans of the congregation of the Conway M. E. church. South, for the erection of their new S6O,OOO house of worship were told by the pastor, Rev. E. R. Steel, in an article published in the Church Bulletin Sun- day. The article is reproduced below :
 At the last meeting of the building committee for the new church it was decided that just as soon as the sub- scription list could be completed work on the new church would begin. Plans and specifications are promised us by the middle of this month. We hope by the first of October to begin taking down the present building, and as soon thereafter as possible to make excavations for basement and founda- tion. We hope to complete this work (that is, removing the present build ing, completing basement and bring ing the walls up to the water-shed) by the first of January. Work is to stop with this until the first of March, at which time we hope to have all our building material assembled on the ground and to bring the new edifce to completion by the first of Septem- Der, 1914.
 The public school building has been rented to hold our Sunday School and II o'clock services in. Our prayer meeting and evening services will be held in the Presbyterian church. The Presbyterians have not acted formally upon our request, but we have the hearty approval of Dr. Steen, their pastor, in this matter, with the as- surance that the request will be grant ed later We hope to find a delight full home with these people while our new home is being prepared.
 Much sentiment and reverent inter- est gathers in the taking down of the present building. It has only been erected about twelve years. It is in splendid state of repair. The build- ing alone is valued at $12,000. It is

SOUANK AND THE GOBLINETTE.

6 little Squank, the pet goblin
II Of the court of the Fairy Queen,
was returning home early one
morning with buttercup full
of honey dew for the fairies break
fast. he heard a terrible shrek coming
from the heart of a tulip.
Diving into the bower, Squank there
saw that a great black beetle had i'm
prisoned Queen Bee. who, for the first
time in her life. was out honey-gather-
ing that morning. The huge beetle was
whetting his pinchers to seize the poor
little queen when Squank leaped upon
his back and. digging his sharp toes in
to the creatures sides, sent him howl
ing in flight.
"Oh, how can 1 ever repay you!'' ex-
claimed the Queen Bee, fnaning her
self with her wings.
Don't mention It," replied gallant
little Squank. and, picking up his butter
cup, started homeward.
Now. rescuing the Queen Bee had
delayed the little goblin, and so. In
order that the fairies would not have to
wait for their breakfast, SQuank took
a short cutoff through the dominion of
lNc CSTe, hrdhd"dN.
As ne passed the ogre's gloomy castle
he heard a mournful cry from far up
in the topmost battlements of the great
tower. and, looking up. he saw the low
lest little goblinette that his eyes had
ever beheld behind the barred window
OF a prison sell.
''Oh. little Squank.' she cried. Can
you not rescue me from the clutches
of this dreadful ogre. He caught me
yesterday and he says that, though I'm
not big enough to eat, he's going to
make sauce out of me at 1870 o'clock
this morning. And it's now 6:15. and
don't want to me made sauce of" With
that. the little goblinette. whose name
was Wanderline, commenced to weep
again.
My. this is a hard task; harder than
fighting beetles" said Squank to him
self. Just then he heard a buzzing and
Queen Bee lit beside him.
Run along home with the honey
dew she said, "and leave the ogre to
me. But come back by 1890"
Away scuttled Squank, and reached
the fairy palace just as the cook, a busy
little ladybug. was putting breakfast on
the table.
Then he hurried back to the ogre's
castle to see what Queen Bee would do.
When he arrived there, Krakawax was
just coming out of the gates. Before
him was a great herd of cattle for his
