Cause* of Insomnia.
When a person is asleep far less
blood flows through the brain than
while he is awake. Anything that
makes a large quantity of blood flow
through the brain will make the mind
active and prevent sleep. For this
reason working or playing hard just
before going to bed is often the cause
of wakefulness. Some persons do not
sleep well because their muscles are
tired, others because they eat just be
fore retiring, and then again some be
cause they sleep in rooms not properly
ventilated.
Do Not Reach for the Moon.
Psychological science apparently has
exploded the good old notion that
"babies will reach for the moon.” Dr.
John B. Watson states in the Scientific
Monthly that when actually put to the
test they will watch attentively any
thing they see moving, no matter what
its distance, but that they will not
reach for it until it is within 20 inches
of them.

THREE WAYS OF EMBALMING
Methods Followed in Ancient Egypt
Differed According to the Rank
of the Deceased.
There were three different ways of
embalming in old Egypt. The most
magnificent was bestowed only upon
persons of distinguished rank. When
a person of distinction died the body
was put into a coffin, the upper ex
terior of which represented the de
ceased, with suitable embellishment.
The coffin itself was usually made of
sycamore wood, which is said to be
almost incorruptible. Sometimes deal
was used, in which case it was brought
from abroad. The embalming of
the body occupied 40 to 70 days. It
consisted mainly of the introduction
of astringent drugs and spices into
the body, anointing It with oils of
cedar, myrrh and cinnamon, and sat
urating it with niter. It was then
washed and wrapped in linen bands
dipped in myrrh and gum—these
bands in some instances being 1,000
yards long—commencing at the head
and terminating at the feet, avoiding
the face. The body was then re
stored by the embalmers to the rela
tives, who placed it in the coffin.
A less expensive method of embalm
ing was simply to inject into the bow
els a liquid extract of cedar, and
wrapping up the body in salt and
niter; others were soaked, or as some
think, boiled in a kind of bitumen
made of mixed resinous substances.
They were then placed, without any
other covering than the bandages sat
urated with these substances, in sep
ulchres, and there deposited In rows
by thousands.
Ths Fourth Estate.
The expression "the fourth estate,"
referring to newspaper workers, is
credited to Edmund Burke, who Is
quoted in Thomas Carlyle's fifth lec
ture on “Heroes and Hfero Worship" as
saying. “There are three estates in
parliament, but In the reporters’ gal
lery yonder there sits a fourth estate,
more important far than they all.”
This was in 1839. In this country
where class distinctions are not made
politically little ever is heard of the
three estates—the nobility, the clergy
and the people—but the term "fourth
estate” is comparatively common.
PECULIAR FORM OF SEA FOOD
Ghianchetti, Offspring of the Sardine,
Greatly Relished Along Parts of
the Italian Coast.
The Italians along the Italian Ri
viera are passionately attached to a
form of sea food known as ghian
chetti. Ghianchetti, Kenneth L. Rob
erts explains in the Saturday Evening
Post, are the offspring of the sardine.
They are about one inch In length, and
their bodies are about as robust and
shapely as an ordinary piece of
string. They are transparent and
their eyes are black and dissipated
looking; and when the Italians pile
them in baskets and trays they have
the appearance of lemon jelly full of
flyspecks—the flyspecks being the
eyes. The approved method of pre
paring ghianchetti is to roll them into
a ball or a fritter, fry them in olive
oil and eat until either the ghian
chetti or the eater is exhausted.
Every good Italian, however, finds it
hard to resist them in their raw state.
A fisherwoman walking along with a
tray of ghianchetti on her head usual
ly keeps reaching up In an absent-
minded manner, removing half a hand
ful of the little fish from the tray, and
tossing them abstractedly into her
mouth, a dozen or two at a time. When
the ghianchetti season is at its height,
in February, no two ghianchetti fish
ermen can get into an argument with
each other without spraying each
other with ghianchetti fragments
whenever they begin to shriek with
emotion.
Lessons From Enemies.
Have you learned lessons only of
those who admired you, and were
tender with you, and stood aside for
you? Have, you not learned great
lessons from those who reject you,
and brace themselves against you?
Or who treat you with contempt, or
dispute the passage with you?—Walt
Whitman. .
His Justification.
In a small country school, during a
recess period, the teacher in charge
of the playground saw one of the boys
about seven yeurs old strike one of
the girls. “Norman,” said the teacher,
“no gentleman would strike a lady.”
After careful thought the boy replied:
"Well, no la«.y would tickle a gentle-
mau.”

Eleusinian Mysteries.
The Eleusinian Mysteries were an
nual secret religious ceremonies which
were instituted in Athens more than
1,000 years before Christ. It is un
known who was responsible for their
institution, but It is generally believed
that they were in honor of Demeter,
the goddess of the harvest, and that
their effect was an exceedingly good
one. Great secrecy was observed,
death being the penalty Imposed on
anyone who revealed the nature of
the rites.
They were afterward brought to
Rome where they endured for about
15 centuries, and were abolished by
Theodosius In 389 A. D. Cicero has
declared in his writings that the
Mysteries tended to promote civiliza
tion. Their laws were to honor par
ents, to honor the gods with the fruits
of the earth, and not to treat dumb
animals with cruelty.
Fighting Giraffe.
The giraffe has neither claws noi
sharp teeth with which to defend it
self or to attack its enemies, so when
it is out of temper with one of its
own kind It does not attempt to dis
embowel its adversary, as a rhinocer
os might, or tear It, as a tiger would,
But nature has given it a long and
pliable neck, which terminates in a
very solid head, and it uses the upper
part of itself like a flail, swinging its
neck round and round and bringing its
head down at ench swing with a
thump on its antagonist.
The other combatant uses precisely
the same tactics, and the two animals,
planting themselves as firmly as pos
sible by stretching out all four legs
to the utmost, stand opposite to each
other and hamme - * away with their
heads until one or the other has had
enough.

Truly, Puck Was Right.
A club this writer belongs to has
been ready for n year or more to put
up a new building—but it hasn’t.
Three friends have been for over a
year in a position to build three new
residences—but they haven’t. What’s
the trouble? The render can easily
guess. It’s a bit discouraging. God
has given us a beautiful world and we
don’t know how to run it, any more
than Adam did to run Eden—and we
have several thousand years of ex
perience over Adam, at that. We ought
to be ashamed, lunkheads that we are I

Ford Retail Sales Hit New High Mark.
According to a report just received from the Ford Motor Company, Detroit, a daily
average of 5,210 retail sales of Ford cars and trucks had been reached by the close of
?
April in the United States alone. «
Ford sales of cars and trucks for the month, including both domestic and foreign, to
taled 127,249. This establis hes a new high record, exceeding the largest previous month,
June, 1921, by 15,467. The sale of Fordson Tractors has also been steadily climbing. A
total of 11,181 Fordsons were sold during April in the United States, a daily average of
469 having been reached by the end of the month. This gives the tractor a new high
sales record, land shows 100 % increase over the best month in 1921.
The Ford Company is enjoying a banner year in all departments. Output of Ford
cars and trucks for the year, according to present estimates, will exceed 1,100,000, which
represents a ten per cent increase over 1921.
The Ford factory at Detroit is now operating at full capacity, having a force of
more than 40,000 men on the payroll. The scheduled output for May will probably
reach 135,000 .cars and trucks, which will be applied against orders approximating 165,-
000.
*
Despite the attempt of the factory and the twenty-three assembling plants in the
United States to produce a sufficient number of cars to meet the unusually heavy de
mand, it has been impossible for Ford dealers in most cases to make immediate deliv
eries.
