Lett and the Kinq.

In any list of prolific authors men
ton should be made Of GregOriO Lett,
who settled in England in 1880, on the
strength Of a promise made by Charles
IL. to appoint him royal historiogra-
pher. Lett was then able to boast that
in twenty years he had produced TWEEN
ty historical works and become the
father of twenty children. Il hear you

Charles once remarked to Lett. Take
care that your work give no offense. !"
Il will do what l can, SIRE" said Lett,
''but if a man were as wise as Solomon
he would scarce be able to avoid Civ

monarch, ''be as wise as Solomon;

SHARP EYED BIRDS DO
SENTRIES' DUTY AT FRONT.
Experiments Show Feathered Tribe Are
More Useful Than Telescopes.

Experiments and observations made
in between times at the various battle
fronts by bird lovers have revealed
some striking characteristics of the
feathered broods that have not been
frightened from their accustomed
haunts by the war. Quite as unusual
as any other conclusion is the showing
that crows, from generations Of expe-
rience, fear rife fire, but not artillery
fire, while song birds, never having
known the fear Of the hunter and his
rife, break into song when the guns
are fired, but are alarmed at the ire
mendOus explosions Of shells.
Even the trained artillery horses con-
tinue to show more fright at shell ex-
plosions than the birds. The crows,
for instance do not even trouble to
take flight when shell lands near
them, but does not explode, and only
rise for an instant when it does go off,
But when the rifles begin to pop they
put as much distance as possible be-
tween themselves and the trenches.
Many Of the soldiers have canartes
in their trenches and have conducted
numerous experiments with them.
Usually the discharge Of rifle is g
signal for them to sing, and even the
sound of breaking glass will bring the
same result The same is true to
great extent Of the wild song birds.
The birds, of course, display a sharp
ness Of vision that even a powerful
telescope will not equal. and many
times the warning Of an attack has
come first of all from the crows and
other birds rising in alarm at some
movement that the sentr1es, for al,
their watchfulness. had not detected.

STOREHOUSE OF THE MIND.
There Is Nothing Occult or Mystical In
the Subconscous.

There Is Nothing Occult or Mystical In
the Subconscious.
Stated as briefly as possible, the sub
conscious may be described as that re-
gion OF the human mind in which are
stored the memories acquired by previ-
Gus experience, education and observa-
ton.
This includes memories of sights and
sounds which were perceived without
our being aware of them at the time
We perceived them.
Let them come within range of eye
and ear. even when we are paying at
tention to something else. and the deli
cate mechanism Of these sense organs
registers a definite memory image Of
them in our minds.
Such images, together with all our
other memory images, no matter how
acquired, remain our permanent pos
session.
We are able to recall by voluntary
effort only a comparatively few Of our
innumerable memory images. But re-
peated experiments as well as facts Of
that under certain conditions any ex-
perience that we have ever had can be
recalled by US. AS one psychologist
puts it:
Whatever has gone into the mind
can come out Of the mind"
Obviously there must be a region Of
the mind wherein are stored these null
titudinous memory images. 1t is to
this region that psychologists refer
when they use the term. 1.-The subcon-
scious."
But the subconsciOus is not only a
reservoir for the storage of memory
images. It is also a workshop for their
manipulation, SO that on occasion they
may emerge not simply as they went
in, but in pleasing and often remarka-
BILE combinations.
This function Of the subconscious is
exemplifed in many ways, from the
picturesque and vivid dreams Of sleep
to the inspirations of men Of genius.
In it's hidden depths, it would seem,
the mind is perpetually active. 1t is
not content to hold it's memory images
in inert form. 1t must fuse and collate
them. choosing for it's purpose those
memories in especial that are most
closely linked together in a network
of associated ideas.
That is why one mans subconscious
is more serviceable to him than an
others.
Through conscious study and reflec-
ton he has packed the secret cham
bers Of his mind with a mass Of men,
DRY images relating to one specific sub
iect or subjects, hence naturally linked
by association Of ideas.
And just because he consciously TO
cuses his attention in this direction he
sets his subconscious working for the
ame end with the special material
ais conscious thinking has accumulate
81 for it.
In word, there is really nothing oc-
cult or mystical in the subconscious.
1t is simply a convenient term to des-
ignate one phase Of our mental life

Was Ruskin Consisted?

In one Of Ruskins lectures, though
cannot quote it exactly, he says in
effect this, and it is said with great
earnestness: Because l have done
harm to no one and good to all, be-
cause l have loved truth and hated
falsehood. because have regarded the
happiness of others more than my own.
you can trust what l say to you, and
you will be glad in later years that you
have trusted me-"
| have heard it quoted as an example
Of Ruskin's great conceit, but to me it
has never seemed to be that. 1t has
seemed to me, rather, just and not
vain measuring of his powers.-Anne

LIGHTING OUR LIVES.
Lines Along Which Physicians of the
Future May Work.


Future May Work.
Some day there will be a new physi-
elan who will be part engineer and
part medical student. He will ask you
no personal questions, and his pre-
scriptions will be filed by dealer in
lamps and lighting fixtures; yet he is
a man who can cure the world of half
it's grOuchiness and ill temper.
The new doctor will investigate your
home from the standpoint of lighting
efficiency. Have you enough Or too
much light? Is the wall paper sooth-
ing to your eyes, yet economical from
the standpoint Of lighting efficiency, or
does the color Of it and it's figures cut
your nerves like a ragged edged knife?
Medical men have said that many
murder has been the result of glar-
ing incandescent light and red wall pa
per. When the deniZen of fiat build
ing curses the pianist across the way
his i'll temper may be caused by his
desk light and not by the piano at all.
The eye can stand less abuse than the
ear, and were it in repOse the crouch
would probably fail to notice the
doubtful music. The lighting doctor
probably will find the cause Of that
crouch and remove it.
Instead of stethoscope he will use
an illuminOmeter. The illuminOmeter
is a device to tell in figures just how
bright the light on your book is as you
sit and read. 1t is used by lighting
engineers, municipal lighting depart
ments, building inspectors and others
for determining the brightness of nat
ural or artificial illumination. Porta-

ing the familiar methods Of measure
ment, it is a complete outfit for making

SECRET OF STEADY GOLF.
1t Lies In Proper Use of the Club and
Nerve Control


Nerve Control.
There is no such thing for any man
as eternal steadiness, but there is no
reason why most golfers shouldn't de-
velop a much greater steadiness than
is shown. 1t is all a matter of prac>
ticing two things-the proper use OK
the club and concentration, or nerve
control
Remember at each practice or dur
ing each friendly round to try to make
your brain work as well as your arms
and legs. Remember, above all other
factors, that it is vital to the success of
the shot that you keep your head still,
often referred to as looking at the
ball." Make it point to school your
brain as we'll as your muscles, for the
brain is in control of the muscles. The
golfer who can't concentrate, who
doesn't practice concentration, will
never be able to develop steadiness, al
though he may be a fine shot maker
and may be capable of some wonder
full rounds.
SO, to put a few suggestions into
compact, concrete form. the following
are offered to those who desire change
for the better in their golfng steadi
ness or unsteadiness:
First.-Practice concentration-keep
ing your mind on the ball as we'll as
your eye.
Second-Make up your mind to ac-
cent a bad lie or some bad luck as
part Of the game and to be expected.
Third.-Play each shot as it comes,
without regret over past mistakes or
worry over future troubles.
Fourth-Practice the short game,
shots around the green, at every pos
sible chance. 1t is here that scores
are reduced.
Fifth.-Practice with the brain as
we'll as with the arms and legs. Cul-
tivate brain control over muscle.-Je

1915 A BAD YEAR.

Indications point to trouble in
the corn belt this year. 1915 is
an abnormal year. Excessive
moisture and cool weather has
retarded the growth of corn, es-
peciaIIy in the northern states.
Corn will be late in maturing
and there will be a tendency to
gather seed corn late. Watch
this. Don't wait too long. Don't
wait till frost beats you to it.
Frost bitten corn will not grow.
Gather your seed corn before
frost comes. Store it where it
will dry out and not freeze or
mold. Don't forget that next
years corn crop will depend on
the seed you gather this fall.

TO FREE OLD men
IN GEORGIA JAIL
Governor Harris Touched by
Their Sad Appeals.
CAN'T REFUSE THEIR PLEAS.

Little Girl, Sitting on His Knee, Begged
20 Have Her Papa Back, and the Ex-
ecutive Could Not Resist-Aged Con-
victs Have Horror of Dying In Prison
and Beg For Clemency.
Shocked by conditions at the Georgia
prison farm, where Leo Frank is held,
Governor Harris announced that he
not only intended to pardon a largs
number of the convicts confined there,
but also would send to the legislature
a special message urging radical re-
forms in the treatment Of the prison
erS.
Governor Harris was impressed by
the fact that many Of the prisoners
are old men, feeble and emaciated, yet
held behind the bars.
Poor fellows" he said, ''some of
them have been at the farm twenty
five or thirty years. Their former
friends and associates have forgotten
them It is worse than being dead. /
asked some of them why they wanted
their liberty, when they could remain
at the farm and be supported by the
state.
'"That word liberty has a stronger
meaning to those men than it does to
outsiders, and in reply to my query
they would say, 'Oh, governor, we just
want to be free again. We promise
not to be a charge on the state il
released"
Heart Beeds For Victims.
In describing the wards for victims
Of tuberculosis Governor Harris said:
My heart bled for those poor crea-
lures, doomed beyond the aid Of man.
Their piteous appeals for freedom still
ring in my ears. | asked some Of the
poor creatures why they wanted to
leave when they were getting the best
attention possible. With tears in their
eyes, they all said they wanted to go
home to die.
Can | turn down those poor unfor.
tunate people? No, shall lend my ef-
forts to saving many of them, and so
long as / am within the law and not
defeating the ends Of justice l shall
seek to alleviate their suffering and re-
store them to their families. No mat
ter how long l may live nor what may
occur in the future, shall go to my
grave hearing the walls of those un-
fOrtunates"
The governor, discussing the appeal
OF the little daughter Of Edgar Strip
ling, a life termer, who climbed on his
knee and obtained his promise to par
don her father, said it was one of the
most pathetic incidents of the day.
when that pretty little child climbed
up on my knee" he said, "and begged
me to give her papa back to her l could
not resist. l told her to run immedi-
ately to her father and tell him would
send him back to his family. l will
free that man and many others who
have already had sufficient punishment
meted out to them.
LAS the man Stripping, his little
daughter and an elder daughter gath
cred about and wept for joy. had to
turn my face to keep the members Of
my party from seeing my own tears,
but l found that every man in the
crowd likewise had tears in his eyes,"
