JOHN MERRILIES, Village Clerk DIET FOR THE BRAIN-WORKER seconded by Should Be That Nourishing to the Whole Body, With Special Refer- ence to Nervous System. A great deal has been said about the value of certain articles as brain food, and one of the pet theories of popular physiology has been that fish and other substances composed large- ly of phosphorus are the most appro- priate diet for brain-workers. But modern science is emphasizing that the best food for the brain is that which nourishes the whole body, with special reference to the nervous sys- tem. Brain power is largely an expres- sion through the nerves of bodily vi- tality. 1. discussing this point in a recent treatise. Dr. George M. Beard says that the diet of brain-workers should be of large variety, delicately served, abundantly nutritious, of which fresh meat should be a prominent con stituent. In vacations, or wherever it is de- sired to rest the brain, fish may, to a certain extent, take the place of meat. He says we should select those arti- cles that are most agreeable to our individual tastes and so far as pos- sible we should take our meal amid pleasant social surroundings. In great crises that call for unusual exertion we should rest the stomach, that for the time the brain may work the harder, but the deficiency of nu- trition ought always to be supplied in the first interval of repose. Origin of the Organ. The origin of the organ is lost in the night of the past. It is generally supposed that the organ, in its sim- plest state, was a modification of the "Pipes of Pan," or simple hollow reeds of various lengths bound together and so arranged as to be rapidly swept over by the mouth of the player, each pipe graduated as near as might be to some natural "note" of music. The Woman of It. "Oh, Mildred," cried * one young lady, meeting a school friend of some two summers past, "I've heard the greatest piece of news. Can yeu keep a secret?' "1 don't know," said the friend. "I never tried. What is it?" BELL-HORSE IS A NECESSITY British Offices in Charge of Remounts Recognize the Value of the Leader. The necessary part of every army mule-train is the bell-horse, says a British contemporary. He carries no burden save a great responsibility and a clear-sounding bell, and all mules destined to serve his majesty are trained to follow him. A white animal is nearly always selected, as for some reason or other mules follow this color most faithfully, Pack-mules become very much attached to the bell-horse of their train, and refuse to move either forward or backward if he is riot leading. For this reason the death of a bell-horse is a great calamity. On one occasion in an Indian frontier war the whole mule-train came to a standstill owing to the death of the bell-horse. Nor would anything in- duce the animals to move till one of the officers substituted another white horse in the dead one's place. On seeing, as they thought, their old fa- vorite in his place once more, all the mules moved forward to greet him, and only .by driving the fraudulent bell-horse forward quicker than the mules could follow was the deception kept up.

In the presence of danger, our in- telligence, our imagination, our will, are unusually wide awake. We begin to perceive the limits of accepted forms of thought, the inadequacy of the standards by which we have been accustomed to pass judgment on life and on history, and the partial nature of truths we had regarded as final and complete. A graat disturbance, like that of an earthquake, is passing beneath our life, and the elements of that life, including those that are spir- itual, are re-arranging themselves in new perspectives. We are virtually living in another world compared with that in which we were alive a year ago..--Prof. L. P. Jacks in the Yale Review. Daily Thought. The cure of heartache is to be found in occupations which take us away from our petty self-regardings, our self-pityings, our morbid brood- ings, and which connect our life with other lives and with other affairs, or merge our individual interest in the larger whole.--C. C. Ames. Here's Another Idea. "Many a man talks 'bout the high cost of livin'," said Uncle Eben, "when. de real reason for his difficulty is de uncertainty of a craps game." Two of a Kind.
