TRICKS OF THE BRAIN.
Experiences Which Physiological Theories Fall to Explain.
An uncle of mine with whom I was walking in a part of Yorkshire near Skipton, where neither of us had ever been before, stopped suddenly to say,
"When we turn that corner you will see on the right an Elizabethan house partly surrounded by trees, with a lake or large pond showing through them, and in the middle of the water a little artificial island."
When we turned the corner we saw precisely what he had described, and yet he had never seen or heard or read of the place. The dual brain theory fails here, since neither lobe of the brain had received, an impression of the place before we turned the corner.
Jean Jacques Rousseau in his "Confessions" says he foresaw in a reverie while taking a solitary walk all the incidents of the happiest day of his life as they occurred eight years later:
"I saw myself, as in an ecstasy, transported into that happy time and occasion, where my heart, possessing all the happiness possible, enjoyed it with inexpressible raptures, without thinking of anything sensual. I do not remember being ever thrown into the future with more force or an illusion so complete as that which I then experienced. What struck me most in the recollection of that reverie, now that it has been realized, is to have found objects so exactly as I had pictured them. If ever the dream of a man awake had the air of a prophetic vision that was assuredly such."
It is, I think, noteworthy that in all clairvoyant cases of this kind the body is through overwork or ill health or fasting or congenitally in the subdued state to which the Indian mystic and miracle monger reduces his own by maceration. It was so with Scott and Rousseau, and with William Hone when he had the following experience recorded in his memoir. When worn out with overwork he was shown into a certain room in a certain part of London where he had never been before.
"On looking around everything appeared perfectly familiar to me. I seemed to recognize every object. I said to myself: 'What is this? I was never here before; and yet I have seen all this, and if so there is a very peculiar knot in the shutter.' I opened the shutter and found the knot. Now, then, I thought, here is something I cannot explain on my principles; there must be some power beyond matter."
And from being a pronounced materialist he became a believer in spirits,
COLLAPSIBLE HATBOX.
A Receptacle For Silk Headgear Which Is Not Clumsy.
What to do with his silk hat is a problem which confronts the owner many times in the course of a year. When traveling around from place to place it is a nuisance, but he wants it so often when he has arrived at his destination that he often wears it or carries it with him in a hatbox made for the purpose. In the former instance he is under necessity of having it ironed frequently, and in the latter

he is troubled with a bulky package which is of no use to him except when the hat is in it.
The advantage of this box here illustrated is that when not in actual use it can be folded flat and placed on a car seat or on the floor without occupying much space. When it is desired to place the hat in the box the owner has only to open the box as he would a collapsible drinking cup, setting the wire struts in position to prevent its closing again, when the hat may be inserted and the cover closed, as though it were a stiff box. The sections are all united by a flexible cloth lining, which is drawn tightly from top to bottom when the box is expanded and lies loosely between the sections when they are collapsed.

FARMING BY NIGHT.
The Great Scope of Electricity In Agriculture.

Some are using steam tractors, but these, however, endanger the crops by fire, especially in very dry weather. One Dakota farm is now experimenting with an electrical device for this
College Men In Strange Places.

"Don't hurry me," said the other. I'll go back to Philadelphia."
When all had been served and stamped out to the street, the man remarked to a silent observer: "Did you notice the red felt jollied me? He's a scholar, and chap. Studied at Oxford, England." "I think, then, he might do than cry 'Fares, please!" and put rope." "You'd think so," said the same applies to me. This."

Signs of Old Age.
"Do you know the survest in old age?" said a physician today. "The surest indications lie continued," "are a moist eye palm and a shrinking of the calig." All the indications are some action of the nerves upon advancing years. In the face of the eye the fifth section is imminent with, and it is this that causes of water. The dryness of the eye caused by an interference with functions of the body, also due action of the nerves, and the shape of the leg follows from similar reasons.
In old age, too, you notice so become more corpulent than initially portion of their lives. With men the change is often produce the quantity of saccharin which consume with their drinks, and those who do not drink it follow other physiological changes. Women the dimness of the eye come so soon as it does in men.

Disnell and Bismarck.
At a dinner given in London in 1861 by Baron Brannow to the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar Herr von Bismarck, who was one of the guests, had a long conversation with Mr. Disnell, then leader of the opposition. He then said that he should shortly be obliged to undertake the direction of the Prussian government; that his first duty would be to reorganize the army; that he would then take the first best pretext to declare war against Austria, to dissolve the Germanic diet, to overpower the middle and smaller states and to give a national unity to Germany under the leadership of Prussia.
"I am come here," he said, "to say this to the queen's ministers." Mr. Disnell’s remark on this extraordinary programme, which was later literally fulfilled, was: "Take care of that man. He means what he says."—Reminiscences of Lord Augustus Loftus.
The Names of Tea.
We talk glibly about Pekoe, Bohea, etc., but few people have any idea of what these names signify.
"Pekoe" in the dialect of Canton means "white hair," for the tea which bears this name is made from the youngest of leaves, so young that the white down is still on them.
"Boochong" in the same dialect is a quite unpoetic name; it merely signifies "small kind."
"Flourishing spring" is the meaning of "Hyson."
"Congo" signifies "labor." Much trouble and toll are expended in its preparation at Amoy, and these are commemorated in its name.
"Bohea" is called after a range of hills.
WHY THEY ARE POOR.
Their ideas are larger than their purses.
They are easy dupes of schemers and promoters.
They reverse the maxim, "Duty before pleasure."
They have too many and too expensive amusements.
They do not think it worth while to save nickels and dimes.
They have risked a competence in trying to get rich quickly.
They allow friends to impose upon their good nature and generosity.
They try to do what others expect of them, not what they can afford.
They prefer to incur debt rather than to do work which they consider beneath them.
FARMING BY NIGHT.
The Great Scope of Electricity In Agriculture.
Many of the large farmers of the west are taking a profound interest in some power which will supersede horses and oxen. Some are using steam tractors, but these, however, endanger the crops by fire, especially in very dry weather. One Dakota farm is now experimenting with an electrical device for this purpose. By this contrivance the power is generated by a mill some distance away, perhaps several miles, and transmitted in the usual way to a power mast forty feet high set in the open ground.
At the top of this mast a double conducting cable is connected, this in turn being connected to the tractor, which consists of a twenty-five horsepower motor on a heavy carriage. A spar ten feet high is carried on the carriage, with a universal joint pulley on top, over which the cable is led to a drum on the carriage, which automatically takes up any slack cable as the tractor approaches the power mast, the power being transmitted by suitable connections through the drum to the motor.
The tractor when in operation is hitched to a gangplank, cultivator or harvester, the cable being kept from sagging by the action of the drum. With a cable of about 500 feet in length twenty-five acres can be worked. The work has proved so satisfactory that it is proposed to extend the system to cover 600 acres, which will require twenty-four masts at suitable intervals.
The device should prove quite essential during the spring wheat operations, as each day’s delay in seeding is detrimental to the future crop. The owners of the farm on which they are using this method propose when planting time comes for the spring wheat to install are lamps on the masts and carrying poles, so that their operations may go on night and day, thus saving valuable time.
Disillusionized.
Some officers of a British ship were dining with a mandarin at Canton. One of the guests wished for a second helping of a savory stew, which he thought was some kind of duck, and, not knowing the word in Chinese, held his plate to his host, saying, with smiling approval:
"Quack, quack, quack!"
His countenance fell when his host pointing to the dish, responded:

Mortality of Appendicitis.
Dr. F. S. Dennis of New York city in an article in the Medical News says that the mortality in appendicitis in all cases under medical treatment is about 16 per cent, with 30 per cent of relapses, while in diffuse suppurative peritonitis it is almost uniformly mortal. The mortality in cases under surgical treatment is about 4 per cent, with no relapses, and in diffuse suppurative peritonitis the mortality in published statistics ranges from 31 per cent in the lowest to 91 per cent in the highest.

Automobile Sickness.
French physicians report an increasing number of cases of acute nervousness which are due directly to automobile, and they predict that with an increase of the sport will come an increase in the number of the cases. The sickness is called the neurosis of anxiety and may be traced to the excitement and mental tension of rapid traveling with the emotional repression necessary to secure a reasonable feeling of enjoyment while speeding rapidly with risks and dangers constantly at hand.

Signs of Old Age.
"Do you know the surest indication of old age?" said a physician the other day. "The surest indications in man," continued, "are a moist eye, a dry skin and a shrinking of the calf of the leg. All the indications are due to some action of the nerves consequent upon advancing years. In the matter the eye the fifth section is interfered with, and it is this that causes a flow of water. The dryness of the palms is caused by an interference with the functions of the body, also due to the action of the nerves, and the shrinkage of the leg follows from similar causes."
In old age, too, you notice some men become more corpulent than in the ear portion of their lives. With drinking when the change is often produced by the quantity of saccharin which they consume with their drinks, and with those who do not drink it follows from other physiological changes. With women the dimness of the eye does not come so soon as it does in men."

DOMESTIC NEGLECT.
The Tragedy of Little Things That Are Left Undone.
The judge and spectators in a Kansas City courtroom laughed when a husband testified that his wife gave him only "mechanical kisses."
Then the lawyers devoted many minutes to the question. "What is a mechanical kiss?" They decided that it was a salutation given only through a sense of duty, and then they laughed some more.
They didn't go far enough. They might have called it a tragedy.
With most women affection lasts. It burns as strongly in old age as in golden youth. A caress means world of joy to them.
Some men forget. They grow careless. Carelessness is often a species of selfishness. Once it was a privilege to press a lover's kiss on the lips of a wife at the door when leaving in the morning, again as a warm greeting that always marked the homecoming at night.
And one morning the man forgot the caress and lost himself in business. And a shadow fell on a romance, and the woman wept. She tried to be brave and sensible. She tried to laugh at the silly fear that he didn't care for her. She assured herself a hundred times that it was such a little thing and that it was natural for him to forget and that it was unreasonable for her to expect the joy of the honeymoon through life. She wiped away her tears and resolved to hide her grief and be kind, loving, patient.
And the man never knew. Perhaps some day he went into court and complained that he had been the recipient of "mechanical kisses." Domestic neglect isn't always confined to lack of food and clothing. Cruelty doesn't always take the form of physical abuse. When men learn to think, when they remember that the little attentions often mark the difference between joy and sorrow in a woman's life, there will be more real happiness in the world.

Deer and Sleep.
Deer reverse the apparent order of nature, for they sleep in the daytime and feed at night. How much sleep they do take is a matter of contention even among experienced stalkers. Some say little, others much. On the whole, we are inclined to agree with the former, for it has to be remembered that they chew the cud when lying down. Two most experienced and observant foresters, one in Argyllshire and another in Aberdeenshire, thus gave their opinions: "Deer sleep or rest from about 10 or 11 a.m. to 4 p.m." "Deer sleep from noon to 5 p.m."
It is no uncommon occurrence to come on deer asleep. A stalker in the field.

In the valley on West Lake Head, in Cumberland, England, a strange little church nestles amid a group of the highest of England's mountains. It is over 400 years old and has two windows, and the pulpit is lighted by a pane of glass having been inserted in a hole in the roof above it. There are only eight pews, of which seldom more than two are used. The little bell, hanging loose in the open belfry, may on stormy nights be heard mingling its tones with the wind and thunder. But for the belfry it would hardly be known to be a church. This little gray cliff is described as the most isolated church throughout the whole of England.

It is no uncommon occurrence to come on deer asleep. A stalker in the Blackmount had the rare experience of coming upon a parcel of seven stags, all sound asleep. A herd was seen to move in Glenfeshie, but one stag remained behind, lying motionless. On a careful approach he was found to be asleep. Perhaps, however, the oddest occurrence of this nature happened in Braemore, when a stalking party on going up to the stag which had just been shot found a three-year-old close to it fast asleep. In fact, it is by no means rare to get within a yard or two of a sleeping deer—Scottish Field.
New Sen Animal.
The creation of a new species of sea animal is the latest accomplishment of Professor Jacques Loeb, the physiologist formerly at the University of California. The result was obtained by interbreeding sea-urchin and starfish in an alkaline solution containing salts of sea water and sodium hydrate. Under normal conditions the species will not amalgamate. An exposition of the manner and methods of the experiment and a description of the resultant offspring have been published by Professor Loeb in Pfluger's Archiv, a scientific journal printed in German.

The police book in the electrical bureau in the city hall contains this record. Sometimes the fatalities of this nature are double number of any week day. How do I account for it? I don't. I simply hazard a guess or two. It may be that folks eat more heartily on Sunday, and this fact no doubt agravates certain alimentics, bringing on acute attacks of heart disease and indigestion. For fifteen years I have noticed the excessive number of deaths on Sunday, yet I have never heard any one give a reason other than I have mentioned."—Philadelphia Press.

LIVER TROUBLES
"I find Theford's Black-Draught a good medicine for liver disease. I cured my son after he had spent $100 with doctors. It is all the medicine I take."—MRS CAROLINE MARTIN, Parkersburg, W.Va.
If your liver does not act regularly go to your druggist and secure a package of Theford's Black-Draught and take a dose tonight. This great family medicine frees the constipated bowels, stirs up the torpid liver and causes a healthy secretion of bile.
Thedford's Black-Draught will cleanse the bowels of impurities and strengthen the kidneys. A torpid liver invites colds, biliousness, chills and fever and all manner of sickness and contagion. Weak kidneys result in Bright's disease which claims as many victims as consumption. A 25-cent package of Theford's Black-Draught should always be kept in the house.
"I used Theford's Black-Draught for liver and kidney complaints and found nothing to excel it."—WILLIAM COFFMAN, Marblehead, Ill.

TRIALS OF DIPLOMATS.
They Were Many In the Early Days of American History.
There exists a popular tendency to overrate the delights and to underrate the hardships of the diplomatic life; but, however much opinions may differ on this point, there can be no doubt that the office of an American diplomatist in the days of the Revolution was no holiday pastime.
If he was not already in Europe, his journey to his post was beset with perils graver than those of the elements. In the eyes of the British law American revolutionists were simply "rebels," the reprobation of whose conduct was likely to be proportionate to their prominence and activity, and the seas were scoured by British cruisers, the dreaded embodiment of England's maritime supremacy. Deane went abroad secretly before independence was declared, but when his presence in France became known the British government asked that he be seized and delivered up into its custody. Franklin sailed for France on a small vessel of war belonging to congress, called the Reprisal. On the way over she took two prizes, and more than once, on descrrying a suspicious sail, cleared for action. Had she been captured by the British, Franklin would have had an opportunity to test the truth of his remark to his associates in congress that they must "either hang together or hang separately." John Adams, on his first journey, took passage on an American vessel; on his second he embarked on the French frigate Sensible and landed at Ferrol, Spain. Jay committed his fate to the American man-of-war Confederacy and, like Adams and Franklin, reached his destination—Harper's Magazine.

FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM.
Sketch of the industries and Resources or the Most Beautiful Part of California.
The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 43 miles from the foothills, and 1484 feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California.
The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east.
The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc.
The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds.
Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two commerces.

WHY KINLOCH PASTE IS THE IDEAL HOUSE PAINT
The purpose of House Paint is to Protect and Beautify.
"Linseed oil is the life of paint" because it is the binder, the muxlage that holds the pigments (the dry paint) to the surface; and only when the oil loses this binding quality through its disintegration by atmospheric influences should the loosened dry particles come off. The office of the pigment is decorative and also preservative in prolonging the life of the oil by protecting it from the elements.
Absolute certainty of the purity of the linseed oil constitutes the chief economy in paint buying, for to exactly the extent that the binding quality of the oil is weakened by the use of adulterants or cheap "thinners," the durability of the whole paint is diminished.
You have this absolute certainty of the quality of the oil in the Paint put on your house when you buy Kinloch Paint, because you buy the oil separately and give your paint this absolutely certain durability by mixing this oil gallon for gallon with the thick "Kinloch" paste in which, for your convenience and the certainty of proper proportions, all the pigments, tinting colors, "purps" and dryers are ground together and sold you, ready for the admixture of the pure raw oil by yourself.
These facts alone make "Kinloch" the ideal paint but besides this guarantee of durability through your personal knowledge of the purity of the oil, is the fact that when you buy two gallons of the ordinary ready-mixed paint—the "ready for the brush" sort—you pay the ready-mixed paint prices for one gallon of oil therein, regardless of its purity, or 2 1/2 to 3 times more than for the fresh pure oil in your local dealer's barrel.
We invite correspondence from those who use or buy House Paint.
FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO.
The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent:
Counties: No. farms. Acres.
Los Angeles...6577 886,063
Orange...2884 569,436
Riverside...2840 427,037
San Bernardino...2350 219,132
San Diego...2698 809,419
But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California:
Counties. Acres.
Los Angeles...55,644
Orange...41,599
Riverside...32,947
San Bernardino...37,877
San Diego...16,022
The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20,055, and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles.
Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north.
Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east.
San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent.
San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined.
Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds.
Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant.

One of Muller's Anecdotes.
Froude and Kingsley were special favorites of Professor Max Muller, according to his recently published memoirs. Kingsley's refusal to pray for rain—or, as his friend expresses it, to degrade his sacred office to that of a rainmaker or a medicine man—reminds the professor of a story told to Kingsley by an American.
In America we manage these things better. A clergyman in a village on the frontier between two of our states prayed for rain. The rain came, and it soaked the ground to such an extent that young lambs in the neighboring stance caught cold and died. An action brought against the clergyman for mischief he had done, and he and parishioners were condemned to damages to the dozen farmers.
The Height of Realism.
"So you went to see one of those old New England plays. Was it realistic?" "Indeed it was." When the rain storm came on I saw how many corn began to hurt little magazine of humor.
this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent.
San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined.
Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State.

The Goal of Unionism.
The individual struggle begun in industrial slavery is now knocking its shackles to pieces and will end with each worker having a hand and voice in the management of his work. In cooperative control of all industry. It is as inevitable as that an acorn will grow into a tree. All things must grow or die; they cannot stay still even if they would.
To say that laboring men should be satisfied with a certain rise in wages or other favorable conditions is like saying that a rosebud should not want to blossom. The trouble with many people is that they cannot change their viewpoint, which must be done always as the world grows.—Robert Bruce Grant in Century.
Queen Victoria's Marked Poem.
Here is a funny story told of a happening at the English court: Sir Theodore Martin had been requested by Victoria to read aloud from "The Ring and the Book." Sir Theodore was courtier enough to make a cautious study before-hand of the poem, and he placed marginal notes as danger signals against passages of doubtful propriety.
The marked copy chanced to come into the hands of a rather thoughtless court lady. "I have so enjoyed this wonderful work," she said to a friend, "and it has been such an advantage to read it after the queen, for she has placed marks against the most beautiful parts, and, oh, what exquisite taste the dear queen has!" she added, pointing the danger signals of Sir Theodore in—a quiver.
New England plays. Was it realistic?
"Indeed it was... when the rain storm came no longer corns began to hurt limbs... worth of dismortality. Moreover, this vast amount is increasing year by year.
Until quite recently diamonds were rarely cut in this country, but American inventors have developed a process for diamond cutting which is vastly superior to that done abroad.
The loss in weight through cutting is sometimes fully one-half, but the value is increased probably more than two-fold.
The Dutch city of Amsterdam has been the great diamond cutting center of the world from time immemorial and up to a few years ago over 12,000 people in that place were directly or indirectly dependent upon this trade.
But it was not reasonable to suppose that Amsterdam should continue to hold a monopoly of diamond cutting. As one of the greatest importing cities of the world, New York gradually offered inducements to diamond cutters, and an industry has been gradually built up here that is now very flourishing and profitable. In 1858 Henry D. Morse of Boston invented a machine for cutting and polishing diamonds, and since then improvements have been made upon it that are very important. The foreigners continue to polish their stones by hand, but in this country machinery is largely used.
A famous gem expert places the total value of all the diamonds in the world at over $1,000,000,000, of which $350,000,000 worth are in the hands of dealers, carried as stock. All of the other diamonds are in the hands of private individuals, and the question naturally arises, who owns them? This is not so easily answered, except in the case of large and world famous gems—Goday's Gematria.
