First Naval Battle.

The first naval battle recorded in
the worlds history was that between
the Corinthians and the Corcyrans,
fought 2,572 years ago. Corcyra, the
island off the coast Of Epirus, now
called Corfu, had been settled by Cor
inthians, and for centuries owed al
legiance to the mother city. In 664 b.
G. the Corcyrans declared their indie
pendence, and the Corinthians imme-
diately prepared a fleet to reclaim
their colony. The Corcyrans sent out
a squadron to meet their foes. After a
furious contest the Corcyrans emerged
as victors. From that time on sea
battles We're frequent, and all of the
petty states of Greece built navies.
The enmities engendered by that first
sea struggles resulted over two CEN
lures later in the Peleoponnesian war.

In ages which we call heroic, the
saint works miracles, the warrior per-
forms exploits beyond the strength OF
natural man. In ages less visionary,
which are given to ease and enjoy
ment, the tendency is to bring the
great man down to the common level
and to discover or invent faults which
shall show that he is or was but a
little man after all. The abb
surdity Of a calumny may be as evil
dent as the absurdity of miracle, the
ground for belief may be no more than
a lightness of mind and less par
donable wish that it may be true. But
the idle tale floats in society, and by
and by is written down in books and
passes into the region of established
realities.-F'roude.

Heart Pumps 70 Gallons Every Hour.

The heart weighs only half a pound,
and 1t must pump 20 gallons of blood
through the human system every hour,
or, as Joseph Jackson in the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger estimates, 1905
600 gallons each year.
1t has the power to propel the blood
through the arterlal system at the
rate of 621 feet a minute and this
means that the blood requires about
81 seconds In an adult to make a COM
plete circuit of the blood vessels. Be-
ing pumped over and over again, the
blood travels distance Of 61,000 miles
in a year, or more than twice the cir
conference of the globe. The hurried
man abuses 1t so constantly that the
increase In deaths from heart dis
eases are enormous. The remedy is:
more exercise; less hurry; and more
careful eating.

THRESHERMEN ARE ASKED TO CO.
OPERATE WITH FOOD ADMINISTRATION
A Special Threshing Committee to Be Organized in
Each Wheat Growing County in the State.

/ These committees will render every
possible assistance to the threshemen
in their county, paying particular at
tention to the problems involving the
repairing of machines, securing of
necessary mechanical help in co-ope-
ration with the Department of Labor,
securing a sufficient supply of fuel in
cooperation with the Fuel Admin
stration, and assistance in obtaining
sufficient needed repair parts and sup
plies to last threshermen thru the COM
ing season. The committee will also
take into consideration what help, if
any, can be extended threshermen and
farmers, so that waste will be reduced
to a minimum during the harvesting
operations.
Threshermens Assistants.
To cooperate to the utmost with the
threshermen, the Thresher Division
has assembled a corps of men who
are experts in repairing threshing ma
chimes and engines, and who will be
available in each state to cooperate
with the threshermen requiring expert
help. These men will be known as
threshermen's assistants and will be
subject to the call of the county thresh-
ing committees when needed.
The "threshermen's assistants" will
not act as Government officers, but
simply as friendly assistants to the
threshermen, their sole duty being to
assist in every way possible to bring
the machinery of the state up to the
highest point of efficiency and thus to
help save the grain which is SO badly
needed.
Besides this cooperative plan, there
will be additional cooperation by the
manufacturers of threshing machinery,
who have agreed to send out their
service men and to render every posi-
BILE assistance to the owners and ope-
rators of their machines.
Every machine should be operated
well within its capacity and rush work
and wasteful methods must not be per
mitted, as the value Of the grain saved
by careful operation, if well within
the limits of their capacity, will many
times frequently offset any saving of
time which might be effected by an I'M
wise speeding up of the operation.
The threshermen of the state of
Wisconsin have always been intensely
patriotic and the Food Administration
feels sure that they will Civ the
Administration their heartiest cooper.
alton in this movement.

Coffee and SleepIessness.

That coffee drunk in the evening
tends to cause sleeplessness is well
known. Doctor Sajous analyses the
many effects Of caffeine on the nervous
and circulatory systems and shows
that its sleep-preventing effect is due
to dilation Of the blood vessels of the
brain, stimulation Of the heart action,
increased blood pressure and Il prob
able tendency directly to impede the
flow of blood from the brain to the
Fkln and other peripheral structures,
which seems to play an important role
in inducing sleep. And the brain tends
to remain overcharged with blood even
after the effect of the coffee on the
blood pressure has subsidized.

A project to mobilize Wisconsin
threshermen to save every possible
kernel of wheat raised on Wisconsin
farms is announced by the T. S. Food
Administration To do this a special
threshing division has been created as
a part of the Federal Food Adminiistra-
tion with headquarters in the State
Capitol at Madison.
II is freely admitted by the agricul-
turists, threshing machine men, ma
chine operators and others with init
mate knowledge of threshing opera
lions that there is big waste in
threshing, variously estimated at from
one to ten per cent.
Waste in threshing depends largely
upon the condition of the machines as
they enter the harvest fields and the
care with which they are operated.
of machines in this state operate salts
factorily, conservative estimates would
Indicate that on an average one and
one-half bushels in every one hundred
threshed can be saved by having all
machines go into the harvest fields in
excellent repair with ample power and
by seeing that during harvesting they
are efficiently adjusted to meet varying
conditions.
One bushel in every 100 threshed
can be saved by having all machines
in such repair that little or no grain
leaks under and around them on the
ground and providing that what does
leak out in this manner and is other
wise scattered by the machine is
cleaned up and threshed before the
thresher leaves the field.
J Three-fourths of bushel in every
hundred threshed can be saved by
careful handling of bundles from the
shock to the machine or stack and by
arranging the bundle wagons so that
all grain that skaters in them shall
be caught in them and saved. Thus it
is estimated that a total of three and
one-fourth bushels in every hundred
threshed may be saved.
Committees to Control Work.
A special threshing committee will
be organized in each county composed
of the County Food Administrator
County Agricultural Agent and re-
tired thresherman representing the
state or local Counsel of National De
fence Each of these committees will
open county headquarters accessible
at all times to farmers and thresher-
men.

HARD TO CHEAT FATHER TIME
Wise Is the Man Who Appreciates
Value Of Punctuality, and Great
Is His Reward.

A young Kentuckian has lost big
fortune by being 20 minutes late in
keeping Il business engagement.
The cheerless old fellow with the
scythe always gets all that is coming
to him. And there is many bad scar
on our fortunes where he has had to
prod us up to the mark.
Time Is cheap, and we are apt to
think we can fitch it as we will. But
1t is always ourselves we rob, not time.
Maybe you can waste your own time
by being late in keeping engagements
and feel that the loss, If any, is your
own affair. But it is also the affair of
the man you keep waiting. You waste
his time, too. If your time is worth
less, maybe his is not. He may con-
clude that his time is worth more to
him than you are.
In many cases 1t may not matter
much. But one never knows until af-
terward whether 1t matters or not.
And through false politeness we are
usually assured that 1t does not matter
even when 1t does.
Only the idle and careless, whose
time is of least value, can afford to
waste 1t by looseness In keeping en-
gagements.
1t may be hard to acquire the fixed
habit of always being on time, but 1t
can be done, and 1t is worth while to
do 1t.
Great business men have this habit.
Men Of great affairs, whose time Is
most completely taken up. are usually
on time. II IS they who know best the
value Of time and the Importance Of
saving 1t by being prompt.-Christian
Herald.

BUNYAN ACTIVE TO THE END
His Last Years Busy Though Peace.
full Ones and Death Result Of
Act of Self-Sacrifice.

The closing years of the life of John
Bunyan were peaceful, unlike in that
respect the years that had gone before,
but they were busy years, devoted to
preaching, to the work of pastor and
teacher. OF these closing years,
Froude, in his Life of Bunyan," ed
tied by John Morley, writes, Happy
in his work, happy in the sense that
his influence was daily extending
spreading over his own country, and to
the far-off settlements In America, he
spent his last years in his own land
of Beulah, Doubling Castle out Of
sight, and the towers and minarets of
Emmanuel land growing nearer and
clearer as the ays went on"
His end was brought about by eX-
posure when he was engaged in an act
of charity. A quarrel had broken out
in family at Reading with which
Bunyan had some acquaintance. The
father and son were at variance, and
in the hope of reconciling them Bun
yam journeyed from Bedford to
Reading on horseback. He succeeded,
but at the cost of his life.
Returning by London, he was over
taken on the road by storm of rain
and drenched to the skin. This
brought on a chill. He reached the
house of London friend, Mr.. Strud-
wick, but he never left rs bed after
ward. In ten days he was dead. The
exact date is uncertain. 1t was to-
wards the end of August, 1858, be-
tween two and three months before
the landing of King William. Bun
yam was sixty years Of age. He was
buried In Mr.. Strudwick's vault In
