That Spirits Walk Earth
Is a UniUerscL Belief

The belief that dead persons make
their temperance on the earth is, ac
COrding to an author, universal among
all the ancient races.
The Eskimos say the spirit exhibits
the same form and shape as the body
it belonged to, but Of a more subtle
and ethereal nature.
The Tonga islanders believe that
the human soul is the finer part of the
body, the essence that can pass out
as does the fragrance from a flower.
The Greenland seers describe the
spirit as pallid, soft and intangible.
Doctor Churchward knows some
people now living who possess the gift
of seeing and communicating with
their departed friends, who never
leave them night or day. He says:
But these good spirits cannot speak
so that one can hear them; they can
not make noises, nor can you take
photographs of them.
"Spirits are composed Of pure cor
puscles in the likeness and form Of
their previous earthly state as hu-
mans, only much more beautiful. They
cannot leave Paradise without divine
permission. on."-Montreal Family Her.

Sleep-Wolkirg Traced
to Disordered Brain

The researches Of a group of scien-
lists recently have thrown some light
on the dark subject of sleep-walking.
They have found that sleep is a
more or less willful turning away of
the senses from the demands of life
because at the moment these demands
cannot be satisfied.
When we are weary all our senses
all our nerves-are so played out that
they turn away from life" at the
same moment. The brain, so to speak,
goes to sleep In lump.
1t happens occasionally that a part
of the brain is poisoned by disease,
whereas the rest of the organ remains
healthy. When the healthy parts fall
asleep the excited, or poisoned parts,
remain wakeful.
In the case Of the sleep-walker, that
part Of the brain which controls the
movements of the legs is awake, while
the eyes and ears are sound asleep.
In other words, the sleep-walller is
suffering from partial brain poisoning.
The idea that sleep-walkers should
not be wakened is a mistaken one.
Experience shows that If they are
reused to an immediate sense of their
situation they are more likely, on fu-
ture occasions, to waken themselves.

FrencFn1an Would Strip
Laurel From Columbus

French savants are investigating the
thOrny question of who discovered
America. In a paper read before the
College de France, q paper which the
French press terms sensational" Pro
fessor Meillet states that it was not
Christopher Columbus. The famous
voyager merely rediscovered cont.
nent which was known long before his
day to other navigators, as the New
York Herald-Tribune says.
Up to the present, says Professor
Meillet, no serious study of the in
digenous languages of America and
of other regions has ever been made,
but the ground now is being broken by
French students and a comparison of
the vOcahularies of q group Of Call
fornia languages and certain Polyne-
sian languages has brought to light
Satisfying and numerous coincidence"

interesting to note that these linguistic
resemblances parallel almost Identical
ly similar resemblances in the arms,
domestic utensils and other objects
used in the same epoch in America and
other regions. But these similarities
do not date from the time when these
continents We're connected by land in
stead of vast oceans. Therefore it is
to be concluded that navigators sailed
over these immense spaces"

Basi.:ca Greek Name
for HolT of Justice

The word basillca is of Greek origin,
being derived from the Greek word
(written with Latin letters), "basili-
kos" meaning kingly. From that word
has been formed the English adjective,
basilic, meaning royal, also said of GER
tain parts or substances on account Of
their supposed Importance or efficiency.
The word basilica, as a term of archi-
lecture, meant originally at Athens a
portico on the agOra in which the
archon-basilens dispensed justice, that
is, at Athens the basilica was the porch
of the courthouse. Later, when Rome
had become the mistress of the world.
the word basilica meant a rectangular
hall, divided into nave and aisles by
ranges of columns, and with a raised
platform, called the tribune. at one
end. 1t was used as a hall of justice,
hall for the use Of the high courts.
It was in such hall that the praetors
held their courts and later under the
emperors the projects courts met in
a basilica. The prefect or judge sat
on the tribune or platform, with the
assessors or law advisers on either
hand. Sometimes an emperor presided
when the case was an appeal, in a
criminal matter, from the decision Of
a governor Of q province. 1t was be-
fore such q court, held in such hall,
that the appeal of st. Paul was heard
In later years when Christianity had
spread throughout western Europe, the
Christians often adopted the basilica
as the pattern Of their larger places
Of worship. Hence basilica now means
church built on the plan Of the basil
lea of ancient Rome.

Reossuring "Miss Jones"

AS they boarded the train they had
every look of being a bridal couple.
The young man carefully escorted the
young woman to a seat, while the in
terested passengers smiled indulgently.
Then, extending his hand to the sup
posed bride, he said, in very loud
voice, "Well Miss Jones' the train is
about to pull out. 1 wish you a very
pleasant journey" and dofing his hat,
he hurried off the train.
But the young woman seemed nerv-
Gus. By and by she called the porter,
and in a whisper gave him some mys-
terious message. He came back in a
moment and said in a voice audible to
every one: "Yo' ali right, ma'am.

To the Minute

A travelling Charlestonian paused one
night at small upstate town, one of
those places where trains don't really
stop-they merely hesitate. It's lone
hotel, opposite the railway station, was
kept by an aged negro, who was pro-
prietor, clerk, cook, waiter, bellhop and
everything.
Call me for the 8 10 train," ordered
the guest, retiring early-to sleep
soundly until awakened by loud ham
mering on his door.

According to the earliest record,
coal was first mentioned in Acadia,
now Nova Scotia, in 1854. 1t was at

Swiss Cheese Lawsuit
of National Interest

Beginning Dec. Sth case is to be
tried at Amigo, which will be of vital
interest to all producers of Swiss
cheese. A practice is prevalent in the
Swiss cheese district of skimming the
milk before making the cheese thus
obtaining the large-hole Swiss which
brings the top market price. Foreign
made Swiss which is imported into
this country, is made from the
SKINNED milk, and cheese producers
hold that the law which forbids them
to skim the milk to obtain the proper
proportion of fat, is unfair. The prin-
cipals in the suit are the state of Wis
consin, prosecutor, and the Langlade
county creamery, a Kraft Cheese con-
Germ, the defendant. A large number
of cheese experts from southwestern
Wisconsin have been subphoenaed as
witnesses in the case, the outcome of
which will probably effect the whole
Swiss cheese industry.

BURNING THE BLUFFS
An Open Letter BY VIM. T. COX-In
Charge of Wild Life Refuge.

Why burn the bluffs and bottom
lands? Every fall and every spring
we see the smoke rising and the yell
low flames creeping and roaring thru
the grass and woodlands along the
Mississippi and the streams coming in
from both sides.
Clergymen tell us that we are born
in original sin-that the devil is in us
and their statement seems to be well
founded in the fact that we like so
we'll TO play with fire.
There may be some reason in a few
places for using fire in the cleaning
up of a meadow or the protection of
hay stacks and buildings In nine
cases out of ten, there is little or no
good accomplished by these grass,
brush and woodland fires, and as a
matter of fact enormous harm is done
Most of the bluffs and bottom lands
reforest naturally to useful trees
which grow rapidly. Fire is the one
thing that makes waste lands out of
what otherwise would be beautiful and
profitable forest. The older trees are
stunted, the little ones killed. Fire
destroys the more tender and nutrit-
ious grasses and other plants, leaving
only the coarser kinds of furnish poor
food for stock. Fires remove natures
protection to the steep hillsides, ex-
posing the scanty soil to the action of
the weather. Soon the soil, the sand
and even the rocks begin washing in
to the valleys. One may see this at
the mouths of gulches all along the
river. In places the roads are blocked
with the debris
Where fire has run, the blackened
waste looks desolate. What is more,
it is desolate. Natures cover to the
earth has been removed. The sun and
rain beat down on the naked soil; the
wind sweeps over it. Nuts and acorns
and all the seeds of friendly plants
are scorched or cooked or left in the
open to die. The quail, the partridge,
the rabbit and all our little friends
among the birds and mammals are
homeless on these bIackened areas.
They have no bed among the fallen
leaves, no friendly grass or bushes to
hide them from their enemies or shell
ter them from the storm.
1t is senseless as well as lawless,
then why persist in setting fire to
grass and woodlands?
