ALL ARE TALLER LYING DOWN
Easily Susceptible of Sclen- tifio Proof.

How many people arc aware that we are shorter when standing than when lying. and taller in the morning than In the evening7 .. ,
 An Englishman was the first to dis cover this, but afterward Doctor Marand of the Royal academy of France made several experiments to prove the theory. He found after years trial that usually in the night he gained almost theee-eighths of an inch, and lost almost as much during the day. The cause of this is to be found in the different state CT condi- tion of the cartridges which go to make up the spine.
 The joints of this part of our bod les are separated and yet joined by particular bony substances. every one of which has, springy residence. These are capable of yielding on all sides without bending the backbone or spine itself. Of course. the difference is scarcely perceptible In one joint alone, but the combined effect is ap- preciable. Naturally, when the spine is supporting the weight of the head It. Is liable 10 contract, and we are tall CT after lying down for some time than after we have been walking about all day with our bodies in an upright position. with the spine sup porting the weight of the head.
 At night time, when we lie down in a more or less horizontal position. these top parts do not weigh so heav- fly, and the springy muscles being ex- banded, our spines consequently be- come longer
 Another proof of this is to be found in the increase of height sometimes experienced by invalids who have spent a long time in bed; and also in the fact that the more rest a young child has, the taller he will grow.-London Tit-Bits.

This Toad Was a Warrant.

How she indulged in an experiment to determine the truth of the asser- ton recently made by a Youths Con- panion contributor that toads have homing instincts. and was disappolnt- ed. Miss Dora Read Goodale tells in the Springfield Republican.
 Some time ago, she writes, l read that the unassuming toad has the ''homing instinct" to as great a degree as the homing pigeons, and the asser- tion was supported by detailed ac- counts of various toads that were re- moved to a distance but returned to their native haunts even before their owner or landlord. Therefore, on a fine Sunday morning I caught in my garden a portly toad, whose puffy cor pulency suggested that he had exc cuted numberless flies, and, after tying a red thread round his leg like badge of honor, I carried him, partly by au- tomobile and partly on foot. three miles from home.
 When I gently deposited him near a messy log by the wayside, he sat perfectly still for fully two minutes, as If getting his bearings; then, after winking two or three times and catch Ing an ant or two with his lightning tongue, he gave a prodigious leap and disappeared in the undergrowth. confess I had not much hope of seeing him again-and I never have.

ITO ME" !"

Let any American citizen, who is in doubt about responsibility for the discreditable situation in the Senate, read the following, which is the res arvation on which every republican and fourteen democratic senators agreed, and which was returned to M0nthpiece Hitchcock with the brief but expressive endorsement. "This is unacceptable to Me. w. w."
 The reservation reads:-
 The United States assumes no ob- legations to preserve the territorial integrity or political independence of any other country by the employ ment of it's military or naval forces, its resources or any form or econo- mic discrimination or to interfere in any way in controversies between nations, including all controversies relating to territorial integrity or political independence, whether members e the league or not, under the provisions of Article X, or to employ the military or naval forces of the Unitel States, under any ar ticle of the treaty for any purpose, unless in any particular case the Conogress, which under the Consti- tuition has the sole power to declare war or authorize the employment of the military or naval forces of the United States, shall in the exercise of full liberty of action, by act or joint resolution, so provide.
 What mischief can anybody see in this, except that it was not written by Me" If it is only play on words, as so many declare, then what harm is there in that? If it means what the other meant but states it more clearly or more to the satisfaction of some, that does not seem reason why it should be un, acceptable to ME Hartford Cour- ant.

What Grc the benefits of an enlist
 ment in the U. s. Army?
 The American soldier receives an education equal to any other man in the, United States He has many op- portunities for travelling and thus gets clear observation of the places of his travelings, by expert ence.
 Many men who worked inside in offices, not having much fresh air, becoming unhealthy have joined the army and come back strong, heal thy, deep chested, and everything that good soldier has to be. These changes have taken place through the excellent training given to every American soldier.
 The course of the army is marches physical games and many other physical exercises which straightens men up, broadens their chests and shoulders, and gives them a stand ing and sitting position that indi- cates manliness-which they acquire.
 The duties of soldier are obe- dience and quick thinkers. These qualities he will always keep. They will become valuable to him as many employers,-or every employer pre- fer those qualities above all.
 From the lectures the majority obtain an education about prevent ing diseases so that in an accident they would have knowledge about injuries and also how to prevent diseases.
 A soldier has the qualities of pa triotism and loyalness which not only makes him a good soldier but also good citizen.
 When a soldier is discharged and comes back to his former position it is probable that he will gain a pro- motion because he had an opportun- ity for education in camp at the post schools where they are taught grammar and many other subjects. On the whole, the American soldier in a short time gains an education that takes the civilian several tegious years to obtain.

CHICKENS NEED GREEN FEED
Greatest Value Is SuccuIence, and Salts it Contains are Great As
 sistance to Digestion.

In nutritive elements, green foods contain so little strength that if their only claim to poultry favor was on that account they would have been discarded long ago. Their greatest value is their succulence, and the salts they contain, which promote digestion.
 Green feed in the winter poultry ra- tion helps to keep a laying stock in good tone. It assists digestion, and many poultry keepers use it for that reason and because it increases egg production.
