their lives. Coming from eggs In which
they have lain for i've years. the
period Of incubation. they step forth
into the world perfectly developed ex-
cept in size. Entirely unknown to
their own mothers, who, in turn, would
have difficulty in pointing out the IA
thers with any degree Of accuracy.
they are the common children Of the
community, and their education de-
wolves upon the females who chance
to capture them as they leave the In
cubator.
BY careful selection the Martians
rear only the hardest specimens Of
each species, and with almost super
natural foresight they regulate the
birth rate to merely Offset the loss by
death. Each adult Marian female
brings forth about thirteen eggs each
year, and those which meet the size,
weight and specific gravity tests are
hidden In the reressss of some subter-
ranean vault where the temperature
is too low for incubation. Every year
these eggs are carefully examined by
a council of twenty chieftains, and all
but about one hundred of the most
perfect are destroyed out Of each
yearly supply. At the end Of five
years about i've hundred almost per-
feet eggs have been chosen from the
thousands brought forth. These are
then placed in the almost alright in
cubators to be hatched by the suns
rays after a period Of another five
years.
Businesses, where there is little or no
likelihood of their being discovered
by other tribes. The result of such a
catastrophe would mean no children
in the community for another five
years. I was later to witness the re-
suits of the discovery of an alien incu-
bator.
Sola's duties were now doubled. as
she was compelled to care for the
young Marian as well as for me. but
neither one of us required much at
tention. and as we were both about
equally advanced In Martian educa-
ton. Sola took it upon herself to train
us together.
Her prize consisted in male about
four feet tall, very strong and phys.
ically perfect; also, he learned quick
ly, and we had considerable amuse-
ment, at least I did, over the keen
rivalry we displayed. The Martian
language, as I have said, is extremely
simple, and In week I could make
all my wants known and understand
nearly everything that was said to me,
Likewise, under Sola's tutelage, I de-
veloped my telepathic powers SO that
shortly could sense practically every
thing that went on around me.

ceremony we set forth toward home.

At the Top of the Stairs.

During my service In the army was one day corporal in charge of quarters. One of my duties was to es- cort the officer of the day on his tour of inspection. preceding him into the mems quarters and loudly calling them to attention.
 This particular day I preceded him up the stairs to the upper floor of our barracks, and when about half way up loudly shouted. "Attention."
 Upon reaching the top of the stairs l discovered the colonel and dozen other officers of the regiment rigidly standing at attention. They had picked the place out as a quiet one to get some gas mask drill, and burst out with wild shout of laughter when they saw me and the second looey in the rear-Chicago Journal.

A certain town depends entirely on electricity for its lighting. and as one large generating station sutficed for the whole town, an accident 1t the station suddenly plunged the town into darkness one night

 On his way to the electric power station he was stopped by Il police man. who asked him why he had no lights. The manager did little quick thinking, then answered. half-humor- ously:

The original forests of the United States have been estimated to contain S22 100000 acres, which has been re- duced by cutting. cultivation and burn ing to 157,0o0,0oO acres.

Real Rest Depends Largely Upon
 Me Depth of Your Sleep

The deeper and sounder you sleep the better you feel. Five hours sound refreshing sleep does you more actual good than ten hours restless disturbed sleep.
 This is because the final conversion of food into vital tissue and nerve cells goes more rapidly when the physical and mental forces are at rest
 You can't get sound, refreshing sleep if your nerves agitated with tea or cofee Both these drinks contain caffeine, which is sometimes very irritating to the brain and nervous system.
 If you want to know the joy, vigor and stamina that comes to the person who gets sound, healthful sleep, why not stop taking tea or coffee for a while, and drink delicious, invigorating Postum instead.
 Thousands of people everywhere have found that this was the only thing they needed in order to bring about these very happy results.

Found the Job Difficult.

At the very outset certain promi- nent Republicans in congress told their party men who were charged with the framing Of the bill that haste in the legislation would be uuwse. It seemed to be the thought. however. of the actual framerS of the measure that tariff legislation would he as easy thing this year. as it was in other years.

 Labor conditions in Europe are up- set, and so are labor conditions in this country. The view of tie tariff makers always has been that Ameri- can labor should he protected It has been unusually hard this year to de- termine just how much protection is needed. Wages are low abroad, ana production there also is low. There is good deal of unemployment in this country. and things economic gen. erally are topsy-turvy.
