THINK BEFORE BREAKFAST.
You Con Do It Bottor B i m u n
Mind W ill El# Clooror.
Your
To ¿ay "Think beiore you eat”
sounds something like ‘‘ Look be
fore you leap, / and there is really
just as much reason for one as for
the other, according to many au
thorities who have long studied
mankind to learn when they were
capable of their best thinking.
If a man is dependent upon his
life work by means of his thinking
it is just as important that he should
choose that time when he is best
qualified to think aa it is impor
tant that be should look before he
crosses a street.
Morning, before breakfast, is said
to be the very best time for think
ing. There are alwava exceptions.
Then, again, there are many who
declare they can think better Ht
night who perhaps never made the
experiment of giving serious thought
to anything before breakfasting.
Men who employ thousands of op
eratives, clerks and such people are
agreed that their employees produce
a great deal more work during the
hour before they go to lunch than
they do during the hour right after
lunch.
Of course the reason for this is
quite natural. The food taken into
the stomach ca(lls upon the blood to
help do its share in the work of di
gestion. and thia leaves less blood in
the brain. When all the blood goes
from the brain, or nearly all, a per
son becomes unconscioua— that is,
utterly unable to think at all in
any degree. Consequently it if only
logic to claim that anything that
takes the blood from the brain de
tracts just so much from one’a
thinking capacity.
Probably the majority of novelists
do the best part of their work in the
.morning. Many of them take a
very light breakfast, a cup of mild
coffee and some toast, and then
write four or five hours. After that
they take a hearty meal and devote
the remainder of the day to play
that is. to idleness or exercise or
motoring or anything that amuses
them, but does not call for brain
concentration.

A great many business men have
a habit of dictating all their letters
the first thing upon entering their
office in the morning. Other let
ters that come through the day are
unanswered except in caaes of neces
sity until the next morning. • In
this manner these men are able to
ì
O nm
i think clearly and concisely anu
quickly in the morning and dictate
much better letters— letters that
are clearer and of more value to the
, business man.
After a big dinner, a specially
hearty mea}. we feel dull and heavy.
Feeling like that, we are certainly
not as brilliant mentally as we were
before eating.— New York Ameri

Tib e ta n T.a m a k ln g ,
An Englishman while in Tibet
was invited out to tea and learned
the art of teamaking as practiced in
that country. It appears to be some
what aa follows:
For six persons boil a teacupful of
tea in three pints of water for ten
minutes, with a heaping dessert
spoonful of soda. Put the infusion
into the churn, with one pound of
batter and a small tablespoonful of
salt. Churn until the combination
is of the consistency of cream.
The Tibetans prize butter for its
age. The best is often forty, fifty
or even sixty years old.— Harper's.
Candles Used as a Clock.
Various expedients for measuring
time were in use before the inven
tion of clocks. Alfred the Great
caused six tapers to be made for his
daily use. Each taper was twelve
inches long and of proportionate
diameter. The whole length was
divided into twelve parts of one
inch each, of which three would
burn for one hour, so that each ta
per should be consumed in four
noun. The six tspers, lighted one
after another, lasted twenty-four
houn.— Indianapolis News.
Fam ous O ld M edallion«.
Medallions of earlier date than
117 A. D. are extremely rare and
consequently very valuable. A well
known example of great beauty is
the gold medallion of Caesar Au
gustus. Of much earlier dale, how
ever, are the famous Syracusan me
dallions, so called, although they
were used as coins. These medal
lions, which are generally admitted
to he the finest and most perfectly
executed that have ever been struck,
belong to the best period of Greek
art, 400-336 B. C. On their faces
they bear an ideal head, magnificent
in its swinging sculpturesque lines,
and upon the reverse the representa
tion of a victorious quadriga, por
trayed with a vigor of action worthy
of those old Greek masters.
The battle ei Buena Vista was
one of the decisive battles of the
Mexican war. There were about
20,000 Mexicans to some 5,000
United States troops engaged, and-
the result put the northern part of
Mexico at the mercy of the United
States.
,
| It may be said that as it was in
that battle so it was in every battle
of the Mexican war. From the be-
j ginning to the end the Mexicans did
not win a solitary victory,
j The Mexicans Rhowed a splendid
- coursge. In nearly every instance
< they greatly outnumbered their ad
| versaries. and in nearly every in-
- stance, again, they had the advan
tage of position. Still the Ameri
cans invariably beat them.
At Palo Alto 2,000 Americans
routed 6,000 Mexicans, and at Resa-
ca de la Palma the odds were about
I the same.* At M o n k e y , Taylor,
with 6.000 men. stormed a place
¡ that was defended by a force 12,000
strong. At Buena Vista the. odds
were four to one against the Amer
icans, as they were also at Sscra-
jmento. At Sierra Gordo General
| Scott, with 8,000 men, found Santa
Anna strongly intrenched with 12,-
000. and yet he walked right over
him. killing and wounding 1,000 of
his men, capturing 3,000 and dia
persing the rest. Finally Scott,
with 12.000 men as against 30,000
of the enemy, won Churubusco,
Chapultepec and the (Sty of Mexico
itself.
Thns in every instance through
out the Mexican war were the invad
ers victorious and notwithstanding
the fact that the advantage in num
bers and in position was invariably
with those whose country they were
invading.
This is a decidedly nnique fact in
the history of warfare, since it
would-be difficult, if not impossible,
to find another conflict between two
nations in which there was not, to
some extent at least, a division of
the honors of the battlefield.
The explanation is left for the
psychologists and for those who
stTTdv the deeper traits of men and
nations.— New York American.
E a sy to Looata tha Polos.
Suppose a person who was igno
rant of astronomy and the method
of taking observations should set
out to find the north pole. How
would he know when he reached it?
By setting up a vertical rod and
measuring its shadows at frequent
intervals as the sun passed around
the sky. If these shadows all re
mained of the same length during
the sun’s course through the heav
ens. the “ ignorant” explorer would
then know he was at the pole. If
the lengths of the rod’s shadows ju
ried during the twenty-fonr hours
he could not be at the pole, and the
direction in which the shadows fell
shortest would indicate the way in
which the boreal point lav. Of
course such observations could only
be made during the “ arctic day”
— that is. when the sun is above the
horizonrin the northern latitudes.
Elephant Polio*.
The sight of six pairs of élé
phants simultaneously at work cap
turing a half dozen struggling,
trumpeting males is an imposing
one. Like a pair of animal police-
1 men arresting a prisoner, the great
beasts Bidle alongside a victim, take
him between them and jostle and
squeeze and worry him, tail first, to
ward a tree. Every inch is contested
: by the herculean fighters until near-
! ing a stout tree or stump the little
i brown elephant catchers slide from
| their mounts to the ground, crawl
, under the ponderous animals, slip
j cable slings about a hind foot and
take a turn around a tree.— Strand
Magazine.
Oyotor* Killed by Boawood.
Extensive ravages are often com-
! mitted by seaweed spores in oyster
1 beds in a very curious fashion. The
weed grows on the shell of the oys
ter and ia of an oval shape, solid at
! first and afterward filled with war
I t«r. It often attains the size of a
hen’s egg or even o f a man’s fist.
1 Left uncovered by the tide, it splits
and loses its water, ’fhis is replaced
by air, which ia imprisoned by the
next rise of the tide. The seaweed
now acts as a balloon, raises the oys
ter from the bottom and floats with
it out to sea. Hundreds of thou
sands of oysters are thus lost.
Tho Blggoet Drug Btoro.
The largest chemist’s shop in the
world is to be found neither in Lon
don nor in New York, but in Mos
cow. It is also the oldest and is
known as the Ancient Pharmacie
Nikolska. In this huge establish
ment, which was founded more than
200 years ago, there are 252 dis
pensers, men and women, and 466
other employees of one kind and an
other. Considerably over half a mil
lion prescriptions are made up in
the course of a year.
.
As everybody knows, there have
been devised
various methods
* hereby exceedingly low tempera
tures have been obtained.
While the arctic regions provide
lorne fairly cold weather—say, 60 or
75 degrees below zero, P.—the
tcientists have been able to surpass
nut tire’s achievements in this line.
;nd when they wish 150 or 250 de
grees below zero they can obtain it.
How this is done it is unnecessary
here to state. It is interesting to
note the effects of such low temper
atures on animal life.
Doga when introduced to such an
environment withstand it well, pro
vided they are covered in blankets
and wool and provided the experi
ment is of short duration. But a
enrious fact is that when they
emerge from such a temperature
fhev are fearfully hungry.
Having seen that dogs stood the
experiments well, one experimenter
tried the effects of intense cold
upon himself and went down into
his “ cold pit** carefully dressed in
warm clothing and furs, The tem
perature was maintained steadily at
110 below zero C., 166 F.
After four minutes the experi
menter felt very hungry and was
mote 4n when he put an end to the
experiment, coming out of the cold
after eight minutes. He took a
hearty meal and enjoyed it thor
oughly, and this seemed all the more
strange since for years he had not
known what it meant to be hungry.
Appetite had been a word without
meaning to him. and the digestion
of each meal waa commonly such a
painful process that he ate very lit
tle and never enjoyed it.
He repeated the "cold experi
ment” daily for a week, and after
eirrht cold hatha of eight or ten min
utes each his pain and distress after
eating vanished. Appetite was re
stored and digestion became pain
less.— Harper’s Weekly.
Irving and the Bagpipo*.
The bagpipes have a strange at
traction for all sorts and conditions
o f people. That enthusiastic High
lander, Dr. Alexander Duncan F1»-
zer, in his book. “ Some Reminis
cences and the Bagpipe,” tells how
Henrv Irving was lying seriously ill
in a Glasgow hotel when a Highland
gathering was being celebrated in a
room below. He sent a message
begging that the piper would play
to him, which he did, marching up
and down the passage outside the
sickroom. Then the great actor told
the piper how, in his youth, he had
played in Glasgow in a piece called
“ The Siege of Lucknow.” His entry
was the signal for the pipes to strike
up. “ I shall never forget,” he said,
the wave of enthusiasm that swept
over that great audience as the first
notes of the pipe fell upon their
ears—the Highlanders were com
ing. Jessie’s dream was answered,
and Lucknow was relieved. I have
loved the pipes ever since.”
Sclantifio D iscovery by a Cat.
The cat has often served the pur
poses of science, but generally not
to her own comfort and frequently
with the loss of her life. One cat in
Australia, however, proved her use
fulness in the advancement of hu
man knowledge without being com
pelled to sacrifice herself on the al
tar of science. This cat belonged to
a member of an expedition into the
interior of Australia. One day it
brought to its master a strange little
animal which it had captured among
the rooks. The trooper handed the
animal over to the anthropologist of
the party, who saw at once that
pussv had made an important dis
covery. The animal she had caught
was a new and apparently rare spe
cies of the tribe of insect eating
marsupials belonging to the great
family of which the giant kangaroo
is the most conspicuous representa
tive.— Harper’s.

A Federal Duel.
The most terrible duel fought at
any time in Paris was the one be
tween Colonel D., an old Bonapart-
ist officer, and M. de G. of the
gardes du corps, a mere youth bi^t
of herculean strength. The two
men. lashed together so as to leaye
their right arms free, were armed
with short knives, placed in a hack-
nev coach and driven at a tearing
gallop around the Place de la Con
corde. Thev were taken out of the
coach dead. The colonel had eight
een stabs, the youth only four, but
one of these had pierced his heart.
