Real Mental Discipline.

A mind is disciplined, not by rea.
son Of the quantity Of related or un-
related matter that has been displayed
before it, or crammed into it, but when
1t has learned to confront the difficult
with intrepidity, relying upon methods
Of attack which it knows 1t can use
with dexterity and precision because
it has been using them right along,
and which are in the available kit of
tools just as the carpenters saw and
chisel lie in his chest sharp and ready
for the grip of his hand. Mental dis
cipline is a matter of the quality Of
instruction, and the quality of the
mental application demanded by the
instructor, rather than Of the quap-
tity Of subjects presented. Hence q
few proper subjects in qualified hands
are enough to make start with

BEQUEATHS SUM
TO THE LIBRARY
Will of Mrs. HI. M. Bartlett Car.
ries Request of $4,000 to
Local Institution

M. M. Moulton, who is executor of
the will of the late Mrs. H. M. Bart
lett, has announced that among Mrs.
Bartlett's requests is $4,000 to the
Kennewick Public Library. No con-
ditions are attached to the bequest.
The money is to be used for the up
building of the library in such man
ner as the board of trustees may elect.
From its very first beginning Mrs.
Bartlett during her residence here
was an active worker in the library
association and never let pass an OPP
portunity to assist in extending the
influence and broadening the service
of that institution. Both she and Mr..
Bartlett made frequent and liberal
donations of books from their own
library. E.-..F.
Mr.. Moulton has made public none
of the other provisions of the will
other than to say that most of the
estate was left to charitable institu-
ions, mostly in he east.

Water In Wood.

All wood contains more or less wa
ter; even the dryest wood known con-
tains two or three pounds of water to
every 100 pounds of weight. Abso-
lutely dry wood is unknown, for the
heat needed to obtain it would dis
solve the wood and convert 1t into
gas and charcoal.
A Swiss authority on the charac-
teristics of wood believes that a suf.
nciently powerful and perfect micro
scope would show that the ultimate
wood cell Is composed of crystals like
grains Of sugar or salt and that thin
fllms Of water hold the crystals apart,
yet bind them into q mass.
A good microscope shows the wood
cell and reveals it's spiral bandages
and Its openings and cavities, but no
instrument yet made reveals the ulti-
mate crystals that, as many believe,
do exist and that would explain why
water cannot be expelled from wood
without destroying the wood itself.

TAKE UP VALUABLE SPACE
Too Much Ground Is Wasted on
Hedges, According to an English
Agricultural Authority.

1t Is generally reckoned that each
mile of hedge, with its accompanying
ditch, is equal to an acre of land. As
a matter Of fact it is equal to great
deal more, for the calculation does not
take into account the considerable belt
OF ground on each side of the hedge
which Is so matted with roots as to
be valueless from the farmers point
Of view.
In lecture delivered lately at Tor
quay, Mr.. Vale, principal Of the Seal
Hayne Agricultural college, enlarged
upon this subject and mentioned that
In Devonshire particularly far too
much land was occupied by hedges.
As an example he quoted the ten
parishes Immediately around Exeter.
These cover In all $1,000 acres, and
nearly half of all this land is cut up
into fields of less than five acres.
There are actually more than eight
hundred fields which do not exceed an
acre apiece. AS natural consequence
q very large proportion of this rich
soil is totally unproductive, the actual
area lost being no less than eighteen
acres In each hundred.
Thee lecturer strongly advised that
the redundant hedges should be
grubbed out and the size of the fields
increased to an average of at least
ten acres.-London Daily Natl. T.
