The Dixie Jubilee Singers that ap- peared at the Sycamore Chautauqua tive'days were one of the strongest attractions of the assembly.

It is surprising how many people there are im this world who want to inerease the discomforts of life. There is always bobbing up some professor or propagandist who informs us that everything we have ever done is wrong and that the only road to physi- cal salvation ts to follow his own scheduie. And now comes a man 1rom Chicago—where they know more things which aren’t so t in any eity in the world—and tell at we must noi eat soup, pie, pd s. pud- dings and cold meats, except ham, and apparently make our principal diet spinach, asparagus, lettuce and on- ions. Probably most persons eat more than is good for them and it is cer- tain that, generally speaking, food is But to lay down a Jaw for the human race is absurd.— Philadelphia Inquirer. Salt and Civitization. Salt has had much influence in shap- ing the civilization and exploration of the world. It is believed by many that the oldest trade routes were created for the salt traffic. This was certain- ly the case with the caravan routes in Libya and the Sahara, while the mines of North India were the center of a large trade before the time of Alex- ander. Salt, too, has played a consid- erable part in the distribution of man. He was forced to migrate to places where it could be obtained. This brought him to the seashore, where he gained his ideas of maritime com- merce. Lastly, fects of salt on flesh food made long oceanic voyages possible and thus opened up the world to commerce and civilization. Reclaiming the Sahara Desert. As a result of recent scientific in- vestigations it may be possible to re- vise our ideas of the barrenness of the Sahara desert, since it has been found by boring th there are numerous springs which: fise to the surface and make possible a system of irrigation. In the territory to the south of Algeria a government irrigation survey has been at work making a series of deep test borings, some of which are as deep as 2,000 feet. In this way con- siderable water-has been encountered and in certain oases already twice the usual amount of water has been made available for the palm groves.—Har- ver’s Weekly. _ . the preservative ef- ; | PHENOMENA OF DREAMLAND Scientists’ Explanation of the Visions of Sleep. A scientist explains some of the strange phenomena of dreams by say- ing that they are due to what he calls “hereditary memory.” He takes the “falling through space’ dream and Points out that after suffering the mental agony of falling the sleeper escapes the shock of the actual stop- ping. The explanation is that the fall- ing sensations have been transmitted from remote ancestors who were for- tunate enough to save themselves, after falling from great heights in tree tops, by clutching the branches: The molecular changes in the cere- bral cells due to the shock of stop- ping could not be transmitted, be- cause victims falling to the bottom would be killed. In a similar manner, by reverting to the habits of animals which existed centuries ago, the same investigator finds an explanation for the mental state experienced by individuals in various dreams—the rsuing monster” dream, the “rep- tile and vermin” dream, color dreams, suffocation dreams, flying dreams and the like. OLD PLACE WAS GOOD ENOUGH. Comprehensive Reason Why Citizen Came Home. “Squire” Lord, of local fame in Ef- fingham, N. H., fifty years ago, had accumulated, by all sorts of methods, a fortune for the times and _ place. Keeping the country store, being prac- tically the “bank” of those parts and increasing wealth beyond expenditures had nourished an ambition to live in a place larger and with more social opportunities than the little village af- forded. So he packed up one autumn, took a house in Portland, which was the town o’ the world to country peo- ple then, and with his family started in to cut a dash. To his chagrin, he found he was one of many in that place, and not a scrape or bow was coming his way. Christmas saw him back, bag and baggage, in Effingham, and that even- ing in his store, to the inquiry of one of the village loafers, “Why'd yo come back, squire, fore you’d calculated?” he replied: “T’ve had enough of that place. Yer see, I'd rather be a king among hogs than a hog among kings.” The Champion Mean Man. “Talkin™ about. mean men,” said the one who was expectcu to beat the first story, “I think Sile Hatcher was about the meanest man I ever knew. He Was so mean that he painted his house fresh and white every two months just because a neighbor of his that he didn’t like had weak eyes and couldn’t hardly .stand the glare. But he done a meaner thing than that one time. When his wife died the pallbearers bumped a corner of the coffin against the door as they were carryin’ it out and bracked one of the panels. Well, sir, blamed if he didn’t want them to pay for havin’ a new panel put in!” Easy Questions for Tommy. “Think,” said the teacher who was giving the lesson on nature study, “of a little creature that w about in the earth and sometimes comes to the top through a tiny hole.” A small boy in a pinafore put up his hand joy- “Well?” queried the teacher. “A worm,” said the small boy. “Yes,” said the teacher; “now think of an- other little creature that wriggles t in the earth and comes to the top through a small hole.” Up when the joyous hand again. “Well ked the teach “Another worm!” shouted Tommy in triumph. Allowed One Whack. Skipper Josh Melzard, one of the old-time éonstables in Marblehead, was called to quell a disturbance. When he arrived at the scene of the trouble, one of the parties in the dispute explained how the other fel- low had aggravated und insulted him, and said that if he could have one more whack at him he would feel sat~- isfied. Skipper Melzard, after consid. ering the matter a while, replied: “You can have just one whack at him and no more, and then you must come along with me.”—Boston Herald. Order for Hearing on Claims.
