Aid to Sleep.

There are two very simple but ef.
fective remedies for that kind of sleep.
lessness that comes from overworlS OF
nervous exhaustion, says Nurse. One
is to have the feet very warm. Put
them against q rubber bag filled with
hot water. A rubber bag is better
than an earthen bottle as it will re-
tain the heat for hours. The second
method is much more simple. Discard
the pillow, turn over and lie on the
stomach with hands clasped under the
forehead to lift the head trifle. This
will often send one to sleep
When you are tired and nervous. a
good rubbing all over the body with
the lotion here given will be very rest
ful. Lie quietly in bed after the rub
bing for half an hour and you will
then feel quite equal to taking up the
daily tasks again; here is the lotion:
Diluted alcohol, six ounces; cologne
water six ounces; tannin, ten grains.

GAIN LIVELIHOOD FROM SEA
French Fishermen al Home in All Wa
ters-Have a Brotherhood That
is Worth Emulating.

Besides sailing to the uttermost
parts of the earth in pursuit OF cod,
herring ann mackerel, the French do
a large trade with the fish in their own
waters.
OF these there is a great number,
including two sorts of skate, mackerel,
soies, turbot, brill, plaice, founders,
Dream and oysters.
There are three classes of fisherfolk
in northern France. Some of the men
have their own boats, and they hire
what assistance they require, buy their
own nets, find their own bait, ETC.;
others hire boat between them and
each man gets so much, while the rest
goes to the owner; the third class are
too poor to do anything but sell their
services.
The boats vary in size from five to
fifty tons and generally nine men form
a crew.
The brotherhood existing among
them. extends beyond death. The
widow of one of their number has a
right to send out her nets with the
boat to which her husband belonged
and her share of what is caught is
scrupulously handed over to her.

NO DEMAND FOR SUFFRAGE
Peasant Women on the Northern Coast
OF France Are Acknowledged
Rulers or Community.

On the northern coast OF France the
peasant women are more remarkG Dlt.
than the men, and they are far better
educated.
1t is they who drag the boats in ana
out OF the little harbors, and who sell
the fish IN the markets. They are
thus brought into contact with the peo-
pies and civilizations of all countries,
and no class OF women in Europe is
so emancipated
They are strong and robust, and
their outdoor life and masculine hab-
its-for they belong to the sea as
much as do their menfolk-harden
thier bodies, at the same time giving
them taste for all masculine pursuits
and pleasures.
They rarely quarrel with their hus-
bands; indeed, the latter would fare
badly did they attempt coercion or i'll
treatment in any shape or form, for
the women are taller than they are
and quite as strong; so the mere
men" of the French coast prefer to
keep their skins whole, and treat their
wives as Jolly good fellows" which
is exactly what they are.
They sing their songs and enjoy
their glass of cider with the best OF
their menfolk

Poisoned Seeds Make Odd plants.

Observations on plant variation
from poisoning of seeds have been
reported in France by Prof A. Jungel
son After being placed for one to
twenty-four hours in a dilute solution
of sulphate of copper seeds of maize
were planted, and considerable pro-
portion yielded abnormal spikes. the
percentage of the abnormal plants be-
ing greatest among those from seeds
that had been derived OF their seed
coat or otherwise mutilated before ex-
posure to the copper solution.
The mutilation alone produced no
change in the character of the plants.
The more intimate the contact of the
= poison the greater was the tendency
OF the plant to take on new forms

ESTIMATING AGE or EARTH
Biologists Have Differed Greatly ae
to the Time It Has Been In
Existence.

AS long ago as 1860 John Phillips
the geofogist, estimated that the time
required for the deposition of the stra
titled rocks lay between 3S,0O0,0O0 and
9t,000,000 years. This was probably
the only estimate prior co kelvin's
epoch making paper OF 1862. Since
that time many estimates have peen
made, varying all the way from II 900,
900 years to 400,000000 years. Kelvin
was the first to discuss the age OF the
earth considered as a cooling body.
In 1893 Clarence King introduced the
important criterion of tidal stability
and reached the conclusion that "a,
100000 represented the conditions.
This result was adopted by Kelvin in
1897, and then he placed the limits as
20,000,000 and 40,00O,000 years. Only
Sir George Darwin has discussed the
age of the earth from purely astro-
nomical point of view. From his theory
of the earth-moon system he derived
an estimate of more than 56,000,000
years, which for long time stood be
tween groups of higher and lower fig
ures. j. Jolly was the first to base
estimates of the age of the earth, in
1899, on the sodium contained in the
ocean. Adopting the hypothesis that
the sodium content of the ocean is
derived at constant rate from that
of the rocks, he arrived at an age OF
S0,000,000 or 9O,000,000 years, and in
creased this by 100000 in 1900. In
1909 MIR. Sollas made a searching in
quiry into this subject and placed the
age of the ocean at between S0,000,000
and $50, 100000 years.

HAS EARNED ITS POPULARITY
Turkey Welcomed in Every Country
Where the People Appreciate
Good Things to Eat.

In every corner of the globe almost,
at least where civilization has spread
it's epicurean tastes. may be found the
domesticated turkey-not, however, of
his own volition. Never would he, in
his wild state, have sought to cross
the stormy seas to find green fields
and pastures new.
He is not so constructed. He is not
bold or adventurous of disposition.
On the contrary he is timid and much
afraid of things he does not under
stand, and when undisturbed is prone
to let well enough alone and get along
with his accustomed feeding grounds.
Again, as fiier the turkey is not
pronounced success. He flies pom
derously, almost painfully, and with
great effort and only when much
frightened His flight can be sus-
tanned for only short distance, but
what the wild turkey lacks as an avi
ator he fully makes up as a sprinter
He can outrun a race horse, espe
cially in his own native forest, where
underground and bushes seem but tc
add to his speed. But he could not
have flown over the ocean even If he
had had that unnatural desire.
He was taken over by the hand OF
man, first to Spain, then to other Medi
terranean countries. to northern Eu
rope, to the far East, until now he is
well-nigh omnipresent. And this
spreading out of his kind even unto
the ends OF the earth is all due to the
enhancing qualities his meat takes Oh
when properly baked or roasted.

A globe of two or three goldfish
with bit of green seaweed makes q

pensive and easily cared for. They
should be placed at some distance
from stove and register and not in

the bottom Of the globe place some
small stones, a bit of sand, a little char
coal and spray of cabomba, fine
water plant. Feed them a little at q
time. Once in two weeks remove them
to pail of muddy water for an hour

CHAPTER X.

Early that year, the touch Of autumn
came to the air. Often, returning at
shutdown from the afternoon life class,
Samson felt the lure of its melancholy
sweetness, and paused on one of the
Washington Square benches, with
many vague things stirring in his
mind. He felt with a stronger throb
the surety of young, but quickening,
abilities within himself. Partly, it was
the charm of Indian summer, partly
a sense of growing with the days, but,
also, though he had not as yet realized
that, 1t was the new friendship into
which Adrienne had admitted him,
and the new experience of frank cam
araderie with a woman not as a men,
Der Of an inferior sex, but as an equal
companion of brain and soul. He had
seen her often. and usually alone, be-
cause he summed meetings with
strangers. Until his education had ad-
vanced further, he wished to avoid
social embarrassments. He knew
that she liked him, and realized that
it was because he was a new and virile
type, and for that reason a diversion
a sort of human novelty. She liked
him, too, because it was rare for a
man to offer her friendship without
makIng. love. and she was cartain ~

coon REASONS WHY

GOOD REASONS WHY
Some weeks ago when the citizens
Of Maryville began 10 realize the
time for an election OF city officials
was near at hand--and candidates
were being selected-my name was
suggested by some of my friends as
candidate for mayor, and when
the proposition was first presented
to me, the impression was anything
but favorable, but after weeks of
consideration and solicitation by
many friends who argued that |
was under obligations as a citizen
participating in the benefits afford
ed by the town, to make some sacri-
fees and carry some of the burdens
and responsibilities | decided 10
make the race. And now that l am a
candidate l will do everything that
is right and honorable to be elected
and earnestly solicit the aelp and
influence of all my friends, and if
elected will do my best to serve the
city in a way that will bring
growth, prosperity and conveniences
to her citizens.
l have lived in or near Maryville
all my life and no one is more in
terested in the welfare of the town
than | am And in offering myself
for the office of mayor l feel that ]
am qualified to render satisfactory
services to the city.
1t was my privilege by the help
of good parents and the wonderful
opportunities offered by the Mary
vile College to secure a college edu-
cation. And since my practical bust
ness life began have been in posi-
ton to pick up lots of information
and experience that would be Of
great benefit to me in helping to
handle the affairs of the city. /
have had considerable experience in
construction work and road building.
| was in charge of the construction
work at the Aluminium Company's
plant for months or until it was
practically completed, and take
pleasure in referring you to the
officials of that company as to the
satisfaction of my services. While
there | employed all the teams and
all the laborers, and as you will find
by little investigation | gave the
preference to all home people and
endeayored to secure for them the
best compensation possible for their
services, at the same time protect
ing the interests of the Company as
WELL Now that the city will beyond
any doubt install a water and sew
erage system within the next II
months, it is very important that
this much needed improvement be
handled carefully by those whose
ability and experience renders them
fully competent. l am and always
have been a friend to the laboring
class, and have high regard for
honorable business and professional
men-and should / be honored with
the position for which | am now
asking, l will endeavor so far as is
in my power to see that every dollar
necessarily spent by the City for
improvements $50 far as is posi-
ble) will be paid to Maryville citi-
zens.
Trusting that on next Thursday
we may have quiet, peaceful, and
fair election, and that no one will
be unduly influenced, and that I
may have the privilege and honor
of serving you as Mayor for the
next two years. l am
