Dreams May Be Overtime Work.

Dreams are good test of the need of sleep and many times answer the question of oyerwork or idleness, ac- cording to Dr. Percy G. Stiles, who lectured at the Harvard medical school on Sleep"
 Tt is possible to judge by ones dreams whether one needs sleep," he said. If the dreams are of a ram bling variety, the kind that seem to pop from nowhere or anywhere, it is a pretty good sign that you are not overtired. On the other hand. If the dreams are a continuation of the days worries the chances are that you arc Overtired. Dreams remote from the days work are a vacation, but dreams connected with the days work arc overtime.
 ITO go to sleep get the body and mind comfortable. The body is easier to make comfortable than tho mind. A rubdown, a bath and a little bit to eat help bring that about. To compose the mind read some familiar book or poetry. That soothes the mind, for no exertion is necessary to read it."-Bos- ton Journal.

Keeps Milk From Boiling Over.

Among the various devices which arc intended to prevent milk from boiling over We noticed one which solves the problem in a very simple way, says tht Scientific American. It consists of a straight tube of say two or three inches in diameter at the top and eX banding somewhat toward the bottom where it is provided with flaring and cup shaped end of rather large diane ter, the whole being somewhat ol trumpet shape Out of the lower part are cut, say four suitable openings, and We set the device upright in the vesse with the small end just out of the liquid Should the milk tend to boi violently this action commences at the bottom, and the liquid is forced up the tube, then falls upon the surface again so that the boiling action will continue in this way and the milk has no ten dency to leave the vessel.

The Transformation.

After the hero of seventeen looks at the heroine of fifteen she is a different person. Before he looks at her she likes the fine brick houses in the neigh borhood. In fact, she sees many ele- gant houses in town that she thinks would make ideal homes. Unlike her mother, she even likes the house in which the family lives. But after the hero looks at her you couldn't give her a big brick house. To her such places look cold, and she hardly would take one of them as q gift. But she just worships every little four and five room cottage she sees. They look so cute and neat and dear and sweet and coZy and snug. Oh, if she could just have a house like that and hero like him he Is the only one there is of his kind she would be just too happy for any thing! And she would make fudge and have a regular home, only it would be far happier than other homes.- Claude Callan in Fort Worth Star Telegram.

How a Bullet Falls,

In order to solve the problem a spe- ctal stand was erected in Germany, and experiments were carried on along the shores of a lake the surface of which was frozen. The ice was cov- cred with strong blanks. It was shown that an infantry bullet shot upward in a vertical direction passes downward in the same position in which 1t pass ed upward. In other words, it came back to the earth with it's bottom first. Why was it not upset at it's culmina- ton point? The answer is that the propelling force ceases to act at the continuation point, but the twist has as yet not stopped, and therefore it starts its fall with a twist. Even on impact the twist has not stopped, as was in dicated by the warping of the wood fbers fin the planking on the ice.-Pop- ular Science Monthly.

Traqedy of Beinq Dull.

In the Woman's Home Companion Arnold Bennett describes the tragedy of being dull:
 '"The man lacking imagination is the utterly matter of fact man. He is nec- essarily the man who never has and cannot have any point of view except his own. He is the Wordsworthian man to whom a primrose by the rivers brim was strictly a yellow primrose instead of being miracle. He is i'm prisoned in what to him is the actual and he is always the exact center of the prison, which is of thickest iron. His tragedy is that he does not sus- pect and is incapable of suspectinS that he is in prison at all and that the prison walls and floor and roof entirely prevent him from really getting at any other human being whatsoever. He is always in his own place. This is the deep meaning of dullness, and this is the dull mans doom"

The Actors Indifference.


 It is probable that the height of in difference is reached in the veteran ac- tor. I saw one at the Press club re. gently who confirms this suspicion thoroughly.
 He is in a good show, but has q small part. appearing only in the first act.
 "How is the show" l asked him.
 Pretty fair, I'm told," he answered. "What's 1t about?"
 Cant say"
 "How does 1t end?"

 "For goodness sake" asked, haven't you ever seen the play? You are in 1t yourself?"
 "No," he answered, with a look Of being bored. Several times I have thought of going around front to see what it was all about; but, my dear old chap, have never seemed to get around to Washington Star.

Shun "Tips" if You Play Stocks.

"Whatever you do, don't go it alone" is the advice that Harold Rowland gives to women investors in the Wo- mans Home Companion. "Shun the financial gossip of the uninformed, the cocksure counsel of the irresponsible, the glittering generalities or the more insidious particularities of the con- ceited ignoramus. Beware of rumors, tips and inside information Base your transactions upon the firm ground of accurate information, sound Judg- ment and disinterested advice. Don't try to get rich quick"

Where the Five Points Was,

The Five Points, once a most dan gerous part of the New York slums, is now the site of Paradise park. It is at the crossing of Worth, Baxter and Park streets. near the junction of Park row and the New BoweTy and Chatham square and practically ad- joining Mulberry bend. In 1740 fourv teen negroes were burned here dur ing the negro insurrection. Here the Dead Rabbits had their headquarters and fought the Bowery Boys. The Seventh regiment was called out July 3, 1857, to quell a riot here. The Five Points mission was incorporated in 1850.

A bad back isn't bad thing if it serves as a warning of hidden kidney disorders Kidney diseases are fright. fully common today. We over-do so much. We don't give the kidneys a chance to rest up, and while bad back, some urinary disorder, an occa- sional dizzy spell or persistent head ache may be the only outward sign. the kidney trouble that is behind it all may be overlooked or neglected. Put your signs to use. Take them as warnings. Fight off kidney weakness. It takes only slight kidney disorder to start a case of fatal Bright's disease, from which 100,0 people die in the United States every year. Prompt 1 treatment at first-that's all that's necessary to keep kidney weakness from turning into gravel, dropsy, gout, heart trouble or Bright's. Use Doan's Kidney Pills-the oldest, the most widely used, the best. recommended Kidney Pill. Forty thousand Ameri. cans recommend them publicly Here's one Canaan case:

EULOG!ZEs THE WRONG DOG
EIoquence Of Tactful Attorney Credited
to Newspaper Story and He
Loses His Case.

An old man was arrested for beat
ing his wife. Application was made
to have him put under a peace bond.
Thinking the case too small for him
to bother with, relates Case and Com
ment, the county attorney asked Judge
Albert D. Norton. then young law
yer, to appear for the state at the
trial. An attorney from Macon-a
man who had quite reputation as
'pleader"-went over to defend the old
man. Curled in front of the defendant
was a yellow dog. Vests "Eulogy OF
the Dog" had recently appeared in
some paper. It was not nearly so IA
miliar then as it has since become.
When the orator from Macon saw the
yellow dog at the old mans feet he re-
called Senator Vests speech, and was
alive to the opportunity for an effec-
tive appeal to the jury.
Gentlemen" and he indicated the
mongrel, "when all other friends de-
sert the dog remains. If fortune
drives the master forth an outcast in
the world, friendless and homeless, the
faithful dog asks no higher privilege
than that Of accompanying to guard
against danger, to fight against
his enemies; and when the last
scene of all comes, and when death
takes the master in it's embrace, and
his body is laid away in the cold
ground, no matter if all other frierds
pursue their way, there by his grave
side will be the noble dog he found, his
head between his paws, his eyes, sad,
out open in alert --atchfulness( faith
full and true even in death!''
So well was it delivered some of the
jurymen cried. All looked toward the
aged defendant sympathetically. 1t is
said that even the dogs eyes were
moist. 1t was pretty clear the defend
ants lawyer had things coming his
way; but Norton had the. windup, and
during the noon recess he hunted up
a paper which had the dog speech In
it. This he produced and read to the
Jury in the afternoon, word for word
as opposing counsel recited, and which
the jury thought was original.
'You see, gentlemen of the jury"
said Norton, Senator VI est was talking
about another dog altogether. He
never heard Of this yellow cur!'
The jury found the defendant guilty.
