The Psychology of Practice.

The question of short versus long
periods OF practice in training the hu-
man muscles for any particular kind
of work Is obviously one having far
reaching application. Some interesting
on this subject have been
carried out by DR.. X. s. Lashley Of
Johns Hopkins university. Acquisition
of skill in archery was selected as the
subject Of observation. Twenty un-
trained persons were divided into three
groups. One group shot five arrows
with the English l0ngbOw per day;
another twenty shots per day and the
third forty shots. The result showed
conclusively that the group shooting
only five times a day improved in ac-
curacy with less expenditure of time
in practice than was required by either
of the other groups for the same
amount Of improvement. A report on
the experiments says: "The relatively
greater efficiency of short periods of
practice continuing for many days Is In
accordance with the results of the
study of animals and of speech habits
in man and indicates that in training
to muscular feats, in both animals and
men, the length of practice periods re-
quired Is usually too great for max
imum efficiency Philadelphia Rec

Tho City Of PoIa.

Since the Austrians made the city Of
Pola their chief base in 1948 they have
wonders there. 1t is
claimed that with the assistance of
submarines and aircraft Pola is vir-
tually impregnable. Its commodious
harbor almost land locked, has been
enlarged so that it easily contains the
entire Austrian fleet. 1t is divided into
two basins by chain Of small islands.
The entrance is strongly defended, and
an extensive system of Notifications on
the hills inclosing the harbor insures
complete protection. There is good
roadstead in the large channel of Fasa
ma, which separates the mainland from
the Brionian islands. The marine ar
senal of Pola is vast establishment
with all the requisites for large fleet.
Artillery laboratories and powder mag
azines are situated on the north shore,
and behind the arsenal is San Policar-
pc, with huge barracks and hospitals

He Wouldn't Give Thanks.

An eighteenth century clerical hu-
morist, one Thorn Of Govan, the Glas-
gov Herald states, had no great fond
ness for days of national fasting or
even Of thanksgiving. At the close Of
the American war he commenced a
sermon thus: my friends, we are COM
manded by royal authority to meet this
day for the purpose of public thanks
giving. Now, l should like to know
what it is we are to give thanks for.
Is it for the loss of thirteen provinces? I?
Is it for the slaughter of so many
thousands Of our countrymen? Is it
for so many millions Of increased ma
tional debt? l see, my friends, you
are all laughing at me, and l am not
surprised at it, for were l not stand
ing where am would be laughing
myself"

Bvron's Famous Swim,

Byron was cruising up the Darda-
nelles in British warship, the Sal
settle, when he accomplished his IA
nous swim from Abydos to Sestos,
the distance "a little over four miles,
being covered in seventy minutes
"You will smile at this exploit" the
poet wrote to R. c. Dallas in a let
ter describing the swim, "but as it.
made an ancient immortal see no rea-
son why modern may not be permit
ted to boast of it, particularly as had
no mistress to comfort me at landing."
According to :Hobhouse, his travelling
companion, Byron "had previously
made more perilous but less celebrat-
ed passage, for l recollect that when
we were in Portugal he swan from
Old Lisbon to Belem castle and, hav-
ing to contend with tide and counter
current, the wind blowing freshly, was
but little less than two hours in cross
ing the river."-Pal Mall Gazette.

Poiiteness In China.

In China parents are held RESPONSE
BILE for the manners of their children.
Accordingly, for the credit Of their par
ents, people try to be polite. If you
are mobbed in Chinese town you
should look straight at one or two Of
the people and say: "Your parents did
not pay much attention to your man
ners. They did not teach you the rules
of propriety." A remark like this will
make the crowd stink away, one by
one, ashamed of themselves.

PENSION CHECKS ARRIVED MONDAY
Confedaates Are Receiving Only 62 Per Cent
OF Their Allowances

The Confederate pension cheeks
were in the hands of Clerk E. A..
Boyce Monday, and are now being
distributed.
The Confederate veterans are
this year receiving only 62 cents on
the dollar of their allowances, the
smallest per cent for year. This is
due to the fact that law passed
by the last legislature added many
new names to the pension lists
throughout the state.
Sharp county has 165 pensioners.
All of these get $62 each, with the
exception of one, who gets $46 SO.
The sum of $10,214 so is brought
into the county by the distribution
to the Confederate veterans, and it
is interesting to know that the
county pays into the pension fund
in taxes the sum of $3,78264.
