Glands Are Funny Things.

Why is it that military music make
one want to march; that jazz MUSE
makes one want to dance, and plan
tive music makes one sad Selenc'
has discovered that 1t is all due .
a little gland situated at the base
ones brain, and 1t controls "a
rhythmic beating of the heart
prevents it-and other organs OF 'N'
body-from racing. or working lTess
larry.
Martial music excites the pitulta''
gland very much. and in response Il'
gland manufactures and sends ma
ones blood more than its noriHl
amount of fluid. 1t IS this MUD Inl
controls the speed of ones heart, sn-
with the extra amount ones mean
beats much faster, giving one W.
exhIlarated military feeling.
Another type of music acts on Il'
pituitary gland in just the opPos'
way-it slows 1t down. with an u

ANCIENT VILLAGE IN ENGLAND
Interesting Archaeological Discovery
Recently Made in the County
of Surrey.

Remains Of an ancient village, the
first portion Of which was discovered
In 1904 when sewage beds were made,
have been found recently during sew
age development work at Wisely, Sur
rey. The date of the village Is consid-
cred to be from so B. G. to A. d. 80.
Investigations have been very diff
cult because most Of the site of the vii
lage was dug away in 1904. On the
present occasion a few hut dwellings
had been found. These consisted of
circular pits six to seven feet across
and a couple Of feet deep. They We're
filled up with sand, but were quite dis
tlnct when seen In section.
They contained minute fragments of
broken pottery. Unfortunately, the
nature Of the sandy soil was such that
all bone. metal and all wooden imple-
ments had been destroyed Pottery was
the only thing that could be found,
and 1t was only in two places that the
pieces Of pottery were large enough to
be of any archaeological value.
Years ago, at the foot of the village,
a "dugOut' canoe, evidently belonging
to the village, was discovered. That Is
now in Weybridge museum. Flint Inn
plements were also found at that time.

Mans Age OF Strength.

At what age is mans muscular
strength greatest?
II might be natural to suppose that
with increasing age the muscles, which
develop with constant use, would be
come stronger, but such is not the
case.
1t has been proved by experiment
that the amount a man uses his mus
cles does not influence the increase and
decline of strength.
These tests showed that where the
average lifting power of boy is 80
pounds, 1t should be increased by his
twentieth year 10 800 pounds. A max
imum of 365 pounds, or Whereabouts,
should be attained by his thirtleth year
after which a decline In strength sets
In. Between forty mad fifty this de-
cline Is rapid.

HAD MANY TRIALS IN LIFE
Machine by No Means a
Bed Of Roses.

Elias Howe, the inventor Of the sew
ing machine, was born In Spencer,
Mass, July 0, 1919, and died in Brook
Ign, n. Y. October 3, 1867. He lived
with his father, who was both farmer
and miller, till 1875, working upon
the farm and In the mill and attend
ing the district sci DOL during the
winters. He then learned the trade
OF machinist and experimental in in
venting a sewing machine. The model
was completed and the patent issued
September 10, 1916. A patent was
also taken out In England, but from
this the inventor realized nothing.
After constructing four machines in
the United States he visited England
in 1847, remaining two years. He re-
turned to Boston entirely destitute.
and resumed his trade for the support
of his family. From this period until
1854 he was involved In expensive
law suits, when the principal infring-
ers Of his patents acknowledged his
rights, and arranged to manufacture
sewing machines under licenses from
him. After this he made a large for
tune from his invention. He served
as a private in the Seventeenth Con
necticut volunteers during the Civil
war, He was the recipient of the lie
gion of Honor cross and many medals.

SMART PIECE OF ADVERTISING
Excursions Inaugurated by st. Paul
Real Estate Man Got Result
He Had Hoped For.

One Of the most daring schemes In
real estate advertising, and perhaps
the first, in the United States, was ME
series Of December excursions on the
Mississippi between 1865 and 1879, CON
Quoted by Col Girard Hewitt of St
Paul Colonel Hewitt opened a real
estate office in st Paul in 1856. Bust
ness did not so well. Immigrants
from the old countries heard of the
"hyperborean climate" of Minnesota
and preferred to stay away from it.
In December, 1865, shortly before
Christmas, Colonel Hewitt organized a
steamship excursion on the Mississippi
Guests were invited with the under
standing that every one was to wear
a linen cluster" and be equipped with
a fan. A section of the Mississippi
that was not covered with Ice was
chosen for the excursion and spot
not far from st. Paul as the picnic
ground.
On the appointed day the guests ar
rived, all protected with heavy wooden
sweaters and fur coats underneath the
linen busters, and each armed with a
fan In his gloved hands
Colonel Hewit's trick worked. News
of the st. Paul excursion was spread
far and wide throughout the East

In 1896 Chopin. the famous com

the most mysterious and poetic in the
history Of musicr-was introduced to
the negelist George Sand She was a
theorist and romantic writer who rode
horseback astrlde, at times wore
trousers, and even smoked cigars,
which used to disgust Chopin to the
bottom of his soul She was not ac-
counted an exceptionally beautiful
woman, but she had an arrestlng per
sonallty and almost masculine asser-
tiveness.
Chopin was fascinated" says Olin
Downes, in his 1.-THE Lure of Music"
"There were times when he turned
away In despair; but back he came.
In the summer Of 1888 he was i'll, and
George Sand, who was going with her
family to the island Of Majorca, in
duced Chopin to accompany Them
While there the weather became I'M
usually cold for the island. 1T was
Chopin who shlvered and complained,
and George Sand and her son who
built the fires. which smoked. In this
place he wrote some of his most dra-
matte and Imaginative compositions"
The friendship of Chopin and George
Sand ended in lovers quarrel in 1874
and they were bitter enemies to the
time of his death in 1S49. She wrote
up" Chopin as the Prince Karol in her
novel, "Lucrezia Floriana."
