Poppy a Memorial Flower.

The poppy seems fated to 20 down
into history as the memorial flower Of
the American Legion" It is the COM
mon scarlet variety Of that flower
growing so freely in waste places that
won the regard Of the men overseas,
for it bloomed on about them, and
often the flower was the only beautiful
thing the soldiers saw for days upon
days.
The poppy is one of the Oldest flow
ers in the worlds literature and has
been sung in verse and mentioned in
holy books by all races. The oriental
poppies are of orange-crimson with
black centers and large seed bags,
which burst and scatter the seeds in
all directions. Other varieties include
the slender Iceland poppy, the yellow
California variety and the big double
flowers. None of them has any per-
fume, but they depend upon beauty
OF form and color to attract and hold
the senses.

Mystery Machine.

There was much mystery about a
perpetual motion machine, set up as
q sign and advertisement over a street
In Los Angeles not long ago. 1t had
the form of huge wheel that re-
volved slowly all day and all night,
being driven by number of metal
balls which ran along spokes from
the center to the circumference and
back.
Gravity was supposed to furnish the
power, and thus the machine could go
on forever without depending upon
any other sources of energy Unfor-
tunately, however, there came a day
when the city's electric plant was shut
down for repairs, and the wheel stop

H. s:. Many writer's sleep with pencil and
notebook under their pillows and q
lamp at hand, so that they may dash
on the thoughts that come to them in
the watches of the night. It Is said
that Mary E. Wilkins Freeman has q
typewriter handy on an extension

There is. about these thoughts a
clarity that does not come with day
time thfnking-a sureness Of vision
that arproa ches the clairvoyant. ~
A problem with which we have wres-
tied in the daylight, weighing it with
all our intelligence, is settled in a
certain way, calmly and judicially,
and after mature reflection. Our deci-
sion seems the right one. And then,
suddenly, in the dead Of the night. that
selfsame issue bobs up before our men
tai vision, wakes US from a sound
sleep and settles itself in quite an
other way, in one great flash! A
strong white light has been turned
upon the brain and has revealed there
conclusion Of which we had no ink

at it are closed chapter. The clair
voyant brain has registered a result
only. And again and again it will be
found to be the right, the expedient
solution.
Memory, too, is peculiarly keen in
the siences between midnight and 4
O'Clock in the morning. All cobwebs
have been swept from the brain by the

nerve centers are singularly rested !;
there are no noises to disturb and
some subconscious power is at work
