BRIEF ITEMS

The pessimist growls tt the sunshine because it casts shadows. A man should pardon everybody’s fault rather than his own. —Cato. If a man ever feels religion it’s when he finds himself in a tight place. Nobody minds the had cooking when ft is done over a fire in the woods. All the troubles of this world are born with wings.—Mary E. Wilkins. Shadows of the family tree account for a good many shady reputations. A man always says appearances are deceitful when they are against him. No one is useless In this world who lightens the burden of it for anyone else. There Is little consolation In being the first to discover your own mistake. Man proposes and later on he wonders how he came to make eoch a fool of himself. * A laugh costs too much if it is bought at the expense of propriety.— Qulntilllan.

Melons do not grow from nest eggs and a bank account can sprout only from thrift. Never Judge a man’s worth by what a woman values him at In a breach of promise suit. « Keep your face toward the sun, even though for the time being it is under a cloud. Few congregations are willing to pay a pastor for telling them the truth about themselves. — Truth Is stranger than fiction —and lots of people are averse to associating with strangers. Some of the other ancients were pretty swift, but Samson was the first to get a gate on him. Buying things you don’t need is a straight, downhill road to needing things you can't buy. Who betrays me once wrongs me; who betrays me twice serves me just right—German proverb. A big town wouldn't be so very wicked if it didn’t gather in the sinners from the little ones. — « Probably the happiest man in the world is the one who has just purchased his first wedding ring. It profit a man much If his servanWieeps all the commandments Intact and breaks all his crockery.

WORK WHILE SOUND ASLEEP

Remarkable Instances of the Brain’s Peculiarity That Have Been Well Authenticated. Some surprising stories have been related in the newspapers recently concerning the strange doings of some of the sufferers of sleeping sickness. A fourteen-year-old bey, of Yorkshire, England,, is said to have slept while eating, the first signs of drowsiness commencing as far back as the middle of January. A girl violinist troubled her parents very often, for during her sleep she would rouse the household and neighbors by imitating a violin, even giving the preparatory scrapings and tuningup. The explanation of her doctor was that whilst she slept one of her senses—that of hearing—never knew any rest; and as the girl had Slept, when very young, while her father flddled, the habit of hearing It during the evenings had become so familiar that it was possible for her to imitate the sounds while she slept! A young student once, in a Continental College, was noted as a somnambulist “sport." While fast asleep he was fond of playing hide-and-seek and pillow-fighting. The other students knew of his unconscious midnight “monkey tricks." and whenever he commenced walking threw bolsters at him. which he always dodged. He would jump over bedsteads and obstacles put in his way, and It would be some time before he became roused. Increased power of mind during sleep is confirmed by the following Instance, one of the many authenticated examples. The great naturalist, Agasr sis successfully reconstructed the skeleton of a fossil fish during his sleep. He was pleasantly surprised on waking, for he had for several weeks been working on the subject with no success. The writer when at college awoke one morning to find that he had arisen in bis sleep and worked out correctly • puzzling and intricate problem in advanced mathematics, which he had been, unable to master the day before.

Invents Wireless Safety.

However well equipped with wireless a ship may be, an accident that results In its sinking puts an end to its distress signals, and may not even allow time to begin Aiem, leaving its hurriedly-manned lifeboats without any means of communication with each other or with a rescue ship. An eastern inventor has designed a simple and compact equipment for one or more lifeboats on each vessel, reports Popular Mechanics Magazine. The wireless apparatus, used for both telegraphing and telephoning, is inclosed in a water-tight box at the stern, and grounded through a metal plate on the bottom of the boat To shut out extraneous sounds and add to the sensitiveness of the set, the operator is equipped with a helmet containing the telephone receivers.

Sun as a Source of Power.

In a recent paper on this subject, Mr. C. Le Roy Meisinger records that in certain subtropical regions, where coal is scarce; such as Egypt, the Punjab, and the Karoo of * South Africa, teakwood boxes, blackened within? fitted with glass tops and properly Insulated, have been found to register from 240 to 275 deg. Fahr. In the middle of the day, and. with the addition of an auxiliary mirror, to reach even 320 deg. These boxes are used as ovens for cooking, as well as for many other purposes.—Scientific American.

Natural Science Note.

Percival was enjoying a Sunday ride, and as he had only recently learned the names and characteristics of a few trees, he observed closely all the trees he passed. A peach tree in caught his eye, next a honey locust with its many thorns, and then suddenly he straightened up and stared with astonished eyes at a gigantic tree trunk whose entire top was missing. •*Oh, mother, see,” he called excitedly, “there’s tree with no head on its neck.”
