Poetry lnereasea Temperatune.

A local disengagenent of heat seem
to accompany brain activity Dr. ]. S.
Lombard found in more than $4,000
observations that any intellectual ef-
fort, such as computing, composing. re-
citing poetry silently or aloud, and
especially that emotional excitement,
such as a fit of anger, caused a gen
eral rise of temperature.
The rise was in most cases more
marked in the middle region of the
head than elsewhere. Strange to say,
it was greater in reciting poetry ST.
lently than n reciting it aloud. Doc.
tor Lombard's explanation is thet sin
internal recitation an additional por-
tion OF energy, which in recitation
aloud was converted into nervous and
muscular force, Eow appears as heat. y

sELF-coNscIous PERSON Al.
WAYS uNJusTLY RATED.
Those Afflicted With That Form Of
Tlmidity Underestimated Because
Their Real Selves Are Never
Allowed Proper Expression.

DR.. Orison SWEET Marden, the world
known philosopher, says:
Hawthorne was one of the shyest
men that ever lived. He used to walk
the streets with his eyes on the ground
to avoid recognizing others, and If he
saw anyone he knew he would cross
the street to escape the embarrass-
ment Of meeting. Later in life he
said God might forgive sins, but awk-
wardness had no forgiveness in heaven
or on earth. His own imagined awk-
wardness was due to his timfdity, his
morbid self-consciousness.
After spending the evening at Emer-
sons house. George William Curtis
spoke Of Hawthorne, who had sat ST.
lent as shadow all evening and had
scarcely spoken to anyone Curtis won
dered why no -one had looked after
him. But being looked after" would
only have made him more miserable.
Once, when making a call, Hawthorne
asked his hostess what BE should
talk about and she advised him "cli-
mate.H
1t is not recorded whether he found
even this topic sufficiently inspiring to
tempt him to break his habitual 81
lence. Visiting a naval officer. and
being pressed for something to say,
Hawthorne asked him if he had ever
been in the Sandwich islands. His
host concluded that the man who
would ask aimless, silly questions of
this sort could not be much of
genius.
! know people of great scholarly at
tainments and mental caliber who go
through life practically unknown, un-
appreciated even in their own neighbor-
hood. They live by themselves just
because nobody seems able to get at
them, to understand them. They do
to make themselves unapproachable.
There is something about them that
repels people, and yet they feel kindly
toward everybody. They would be
glad of chance to do favor to
anyone, but they are misunderstood
because they are too timid and shy
to come out of their shell.
Shy people are constantly misunder-
stood and underestimated, because
their real selves are never allowed
expression. They are so afraid that
others are weighing and measuring
them in the balance and finding them
wanting that whenever they can they
flock by themselves" as the Irish
man puts it.
Their shrinking, self-effaeing, apollo
getic attitude is fatal to their eff
cheney as well as to their comfort and
happiness. If, instead of avoiding
others, they would mix freely in soci-
ETY. and undertake responsibility at
every opportunity, no matter how it
might pain them or how every. nerve
might shrink from human contact; if
they would stop staying alone in cor
ners at receptions and in drawing
rooms. If they would cease worrying
about their appearance and manner,
and would force themselves into the
great human current, they would soon
entirely overcome their self-conscious-
ness.-Pictorial Review.

How Much the Wives Of Early Set

Country Was Building Up.

When little frail instructor from
the Kansas Agricultural college came
to our town and was able to tell me
the reason why my bread had been
souring all summer and how to pre-
vent 1t, and / got it through my head
that she knew what she was talking
about, woke up to a lot that ] had
missed, Elizabeth Sears writes In Har-
per's Magazine
Our problems of trying to do the
work of three with nothing to do it
with has filed many a sanitarium.
The hospitals are crowded with US.
And how full the cemeteries were of
us in the old days-the price we paid
for the big crops and the prosperity
Of the state! And Kansas is not the
only state that is full Of the unwritten
records of the women who paid for the
crops with their lives. They are still
paying for the wheat.
MY mother died because she was too
tired to try to make an effort to live
any longer. Looking back on It now !
cannot remember ever seeing my
mother sit with folded hands. They
said little Of their hard lives, these
brave women who helped build up the
plains. They accepted it uncomplain-
ingly. When our country club met at
our house last week. my aunt was
there as a guest. We have 80 members
in our club. Ten of them drove their
own automobiles. All but two live in
modern houses with heat and water.
We buy the latest thing in foot gear,
which is the one sure sign of progress
in farm woman. One Of the mem
bers was humorously relating the
trials of having frozen water pipe
mended, and Aunt Kish told of the
days when she had to carry water a
quarter of a mile from creek. My
aunt is gay old lady, and all the
weight of her seventy years has not
smothered her resilient disposition.
Her husband died after their third big
wheat crop-drank himself to death
celebrating it in Kansas City-and she
had the first real time of her life ever
since.
When. she came to Kansas in the
early 'ffties, she drove team herself
from st. Louis, with a ten-month-oId
baby on the seat beside her. She and
her husband took up claim 40 miles
from the settlement. Wandering In
dians were their only neighbors, and
terrified her daily by their company.
When they had been here less than
year her husband returned to Illinois
and remained three months She was
left alone to look after the crops,
shuck the corn, and take care of the
place. While he was gone her third
baby was born. Her only help was an
Indian squaw. who had CHANGED in
to beg loaf OF bread and remained to
help the young mother in her ex-
tremity.
I'VE didn't think anything of it,"
said my aunt. I'VE were too busy
while it was happening to- think
about it. We went through lot those
days; but, land of Goshen! we are
making up for it now, with our fur
naces, and our gasoline engines for the
churns and washing machines, and our

Making artificial silk from sawdust

products laboratory at Madison, Wis.
The use of artificial silk made direct
ly from wood is increasing by leaps
and bounds. Originally its principal
use was In the manufacture of braids
and trimmings. but recently the manu-
facture of hose from artificial silk has
become an industry Of vast impor-
tance. Other uses for artificial silk
are woven goods Of all Ks, nnings,
tapestries, ETC., neckties, ribbons.
sweater coats, etc. About 5000, 900
pounds of artificial silk are used an
nually in the United States. There
are several methods of manufacture,
but that from wood pulp is usually
made by treating the wood pulp with
caustic lye to form a viscose, which
is allowed to age for some time It
is then forced through dies to form
threads, which are hardened by a
treatment with sulphuric acid, ammo
MUM sulphate, and sodium borate. or
formic acid. After washing and dry
ing, the silk is ready for use. The
laboratory is investigating the arti-
fetal silk problem as a possibility for
utilizing wood waste, and has on hand
q variety of articles made from the
material.-Boston Transcript.
