The question, “Does the brain ever rest? would seem to be answerable ouly in the pegative. Unconscious cerebration appears to be a necessary concomn t of the powers of intellect, and during sleep, whetlker we remem- ber it or not, we al dream- ing.

We take many a trip under her guid- ance that we are unable to recall when she has resigned the reins into the bands of reason. Awake or asleep, we are always busy. The mind never rests.—New York American. Looking For “the Crazy Ones.” A woman got off a Darby car at Thirty-fourth street and Woodland avenue the other day, entered the uni- versity campus and started toward College hall, walking with brisk deter- mination, yet looking wonderingly about her the while. In front of the library a university youth met her, and she accosted him quickly. “Young man,” she said, “will you please tell me where they keep the crazy ones?”’ “Wh-what?” stammered the college man. She repeated her question in some- what different form. “1 want the insane department,” she said. *I bave a friend who is a nurse there. I thought I’d make her a little visit. Isn’t this the Philadelphia hos- pital ?’—Philadelphia Times. The New Page. “Look here, Wilkins,” said a doctor to his boy in buttons, whom he had occasion to reprimand, “I can’t stand any more of this nonsense. You’ll have to turn over a fresh leaf.” “All right, sir,” was the witty re- 4ponse; “you shan’t complain of me again, sir. I'll be an entirely new page.”—London Opinion, All on One Side. “I am told your bride is very pret- ty,” said Miss Peppery. “Yes, indeed!” replied Mr. Con Seet. “Several of the guests at the ceremony were pleased to call it a ‘wedding of beauty and brains.’” “Well, well! She must be a remark- able woman! That's an unusual com- bination in one person.” In the Stilly Night. . ' “What is it?” the druggist sleepily inquired from his bedroom window. ‘““I'his ish drug store, ain’t it?” asked the man who had rung the night bell. “Yes. What do you want?” “Want to look. in your city directory minute an’ shee where.l live.”—Phila- delphia Ledger. There Was No Music. “What-is the .greatest fib that ever impressed itself on your experience, Snapper?” “Well, by all odds, the worst one I ever heard was that your quartet per- petrated last night' when they came sound to the house and sang ‘There’s Music In the Air’” The Terms of Exchange. “We wish to arrange for an ex- change of prisoners,” announced the South American dictator. “On what basis?’ inquired the lead- er of the other side. “The usual basis—eight generals for a good, husky private.”—Louisville Courier-Journal. ot o e Sy Always Answered. Children often are highly logleal, though not quite in the adult manner. They attaio conclusions by those proe- esses of “pure reason” which, being quite unbiased by the opinions of others, sometimes result in startling truths. Almost everybody, for instance, has heard of the little lad who, listening to the questions of an irreligious friend of the family as to what would happen supposing that ome’ good Christian should pray for an east and another for a west wind at sea, innocently an- swered that of course there’d be an awful tempest, but not every one has heard of the equally pertinent and naive solution recently offered by a thoughtful youngster for the ever per- plexing problem of *“Are prayers an- swered?” The child was talking with another, who asked the vexed and puzzling question, explaining at the same time that he dido't belleve that prayers were answered, because he never got anything he asked for. *“You don't pray for the right things,” answered little Mr. Wiseman. “Of course all prayers are answered, but ‘ometimes the answer is ‘Yes’ and sometimes it’s ‘No.’ "—Chicago Record- Herald. Leaving a Man Helpless. “That statement made me think,” said a veteran pewspaper man to the Cincinnati Times-Star, *“of the cele- brated row between President Cleve- land’s colored man and Secretary Hoke Smith’s colored man. The two were exercising their masters’ horses out on a country road and got into a dispute as to what is the best thing in the world. Finally they made a bet of a dollar on it “Well, what is de bes’ thing in the world? asked Cleveland’s man, “‘Roas’ possum and sweet taters, sald Hoke Smith’s moke. “‘Whoa! says Cleveland’s man, dragging at the bridle. He jumped to the ground, seized Hoke Smith’s man by the leg and dragged him to the dust. *‘Take that, says he, lamming him on the neck. ‘you miserable black ras- cal! You ain’t leave me nuffin’ to guess at!'” Brain of the Bee. In a German scientific periodical C. Jonescu gives the results of his studies of the brain of the bee. As might be expected from its wonderful instinets, this is found to be very complex. The various divisions of the brain are de- scribed in detail, but perhaps the most interesting part is the comparison of the brains of queens, workers and drones.” The worker has a larger brain than the queen, and as the difference | between queen and worker is the re- sult of diet during the grub stage it appears that the food which develops size of body and fertility is not best for the growth of brain. The “royal Jelly” as a mental stimulus is a fail- ure. In the drone the brain is not larger thap in the worker, but the op- tic lobes are large, corresponding to the large eyes. Didn't Wait the Attack. At Boulogne during a royal reception some years ago a number of English ladies in their anxiety to see every- thing pressed with such force against the soldiers who were keeping the line that the soldiers were forced to give way and generally were, as po- licemen say, *“hindered in the execu- tion of their duty.” The officer in command, observing the state of af- fairs, called out: *“Ope roll of the drum! If they don’t stand back kiss them all!” After the first sound of the drum the ladies took to flight. “If they had been French.” said a Parisian journal, *“they would have remained to a woman.” A Tale of Heroism. “I went for a bath yesterday,” said an Auvergnat. 1 had been in the wa- ter some time when 1 suddenly per- ceived an enormous shark advancing toward me with its jaws open. What was 1 to do? When bhe was a yard off 1 dived, took out my-pocketknife and ripped up the monster.” “What! Then you are in the habit of bathing with your clothes on,” said one of the listeners.—From the French. Perplexing. Territorial (his first experience as sentry, going over his instructions)—If dny one comes along I say: *Halit!
