"If the 'brown study' were more often cultivated many people would be happier and more clear thinking would be done," says the London Lancet "It Is in such a state that truths dawn sud denly and clearly npon the unclouded Intelligence. It Is In such a state that mighty actions are conceived, poems born at a stroke and mankind enlight ened through the enlightenment of the Individual. "In this state of mind there Is such a concentration of mental energy that the body Is Ignored. The mind, on the other band, Is so working upon the subject which concerns It, is so Intent npon Its own affairs, that the external world Is obliterated, and any bodily discomfort that may have been pre-existing Is now negligible and unnoticed." The Lancet says the relationship be tween mental activity and the bodily state Is not realized with sufficient fre quency or with sufficient thoroughness by the European of today. "The aver age man is too engrossed with bis bod ily pabulum, and In caring for the needs of the body be neglects the needs tt the mind." Wisdom Teeth. The wisdom teeth are the two last molar teeth to grow. Tbey come one on each side of the Jaw and arrive somewhere between the ages of twenty and twenty-five years. The name Is given them because it Is supposd that when a person has developed physical ly and mentally to the point where be has secured these last two teeth be has also arrived at the age of discretion. It does not necessarily mean that one who has cut bis wisdom teeth Is wise, but that, having lived long enough to grow these, which complete the full set of teeth, the person has passed suf ficient actual years that If he has done what he should to At himself for life he should have come by that time t the age of discretion or wisdom. As a matter of fact, these teeth grow at about the same time in people whether tbey are wise or not Knights Templars. During the latter half of the eleventh century pilgrims to Jerusalem began to be persecuted by the Turks or Sara cens then in possession ot the Holy Land. Nine noble knights formed a brotherhood with the objeot of protect ing the pilgrims. The cause spread rapidly over Europe, and the knights grew to legions In number. Vows of chastity, obedience and poverty wen taken, and the order, from merely pro tecting the pilgrims, took upon itself the task of recovering the Holy Land from the grip of the Infidels. About 1120 they were given a plate In the ln closure of the temple on Mount Mo riah, and heute the name Templars, or Knights of the Temple of Solomon.
