With the American Army Northwest
of Verdun.-"A British ace, whose

This ace was ordered to make a

"He asked the ace to point out the
place where he wanted the peasant to
jump. The aviator then asked the
peasant if he had ever leaped from an
airplane with parachute before. The
ace was astOnished to learn that 1t was
the Frenchman's first trip in the air.

REQUISITE HOURS OF SLEEP
Acknow! edged Fact That Brain Work.
ers Need Less Than Those En-
gagged in Manual Labor.

Periodic Slccping is undenlably an
essential to the continuance of life, but
sleep is required more as a means of
recuperaton from physical WEAKNESS
than from mental activity, an exchange
observes. The best thinkers nre the
shortest sleepers, and on the other
hand the manual laborers require the
longest periods of sleep. The classic
example cited to prove that the think
er does not need as much sleep as the
ordinary man takes Is Thomas A. Edi-
son, who during the most active years
OF his life is said to have slept only
four hours day. 1t is not so general
ly known that Herbert Spencer, the
philosopher, in his later life did not
average more than three hours of sleep
a day.
These instances should not lead to
ill-advised efforts to emulate the eX-
trcme examples. One should not at
tempt to do better thinking by keep
ing LONGER awake, hut the effort should
be made to do better thinking, which
will result in keeping longer awake.
For if the body be not fatigued or
drug"ed with poison, sleep comes chief
" from the slowing down of the men
tai processes until consciousness
iapSes. If an adult is not tired or full
If fatigue poisons from physical labor,
or if his system is not otherwise bur
aencd with poisonS from faulty diet
or ovcreating it is possible in many
instances to cut down the sleeping
oeriod from 20 to 40 per cent OF that

AnqIing Frog.

There Is hidcOuS reptile, known aS
the fishing frog, which angles for its
game as eXpertly and with as great
success as the most adrOit fy-fSher.
He is Il clumsy, awkward swimmer,
tut nature has compensated him for
his unvieldineSs by furnishing him
with an equivalent for a rod and line,
with bait always ready for use. Two
elongated tentacles spring from his
nose, which taper away like actual
fishng-rods. TO the end of them is at
tached by slender tilament, which
serves the purpose of line, bait in
the form of shiny bit of membrane.
The hooks are set in the mouth OF the
fisherman below, and in order to in
duce the fish to venture within reach
of them, the angler stirs up the mud
Mt the bottom with his fins and tail.
This attracts the fish and conceals him
from their observation. He then plies
his rbd; the glttering bait glows in
the water like a living insect. The
dazed fish are taken in great numbers,
perfectly circumvcnted by the trick of
the crafty angler.

and wholesome sour curd, which is In
great demand in the towns When the
sheep have been shorn, the wool Is
bieached and spun, and then knitted
and woven into garments for the fam
lily or into cloth for sale. The cotton
or flax grown on the farm must also
be gathered in their seasons, and pre-
pared for use. The cotton pods are
put through small hand machine
called the mangano, which turns two
rollers different ways, and separates
the fiber from the seed. The instru-
ment next used is the toxevein. large
bow made from curved piece or
wood five or more feet long, the two
ends of which are connected by stout
string. The cotton Is placed loosely
on the string, which Is made to vibrate
by being struck with stick, produc'
ing a not unmusical sound. This proc
ess detaches the particles of cotton,
and it is now ready to use as wad-
ding for the large quilts, which, with
a sheet tackled to the under side, form
all the winter bed covering used by
the lower orders of natives OF every
race. The mattresses are also usually
stuffed with cotton, and the palliasses
with the husks of Indian corn.
