Psychology of Practice.
The question of Bhort versus long
periods of practice In training the hu
man muscles for any particular kind
of work is obviously one having far-
reaching application. Some interest-
ng experiments on this subject have
been carried out by Dr. K. S. Lnshley
of Johns Hopkins university. Acquisi
tion of skill in archery was selected
as the subject of observation! Twenty
untrained persons were, divided into
three groups. One group shot live
arrows with the English longbow per
day; another, twenty shots per day;
and the third, forty shots. The re
sults showed conclusively that the
group shooting only five times a day
improved in accuracy with less .ex
penditure of time in practice than wub
required by either of the other groups
for the same amount of improvement.
A report on the experiment says:
“The relatively greater efficiency of
short periods of practice continuing
for many days 1b In accordance with
the results of the study of animals
and of speech habits In man, and In
dicates that la training to muscular
feats, iu both animals and men, the
length of practice periods required is
,. usually too great for maximum effi
ciency."—Scientific American.
He Should Worry.
“How do you account for Nero fid
dllng during the burning of Rome?"
asked the professor.
“I suppose he had' the place heavily
Insured,” suggested the senior who
was specializing in finance.
His Mistake.
“JoneB is a self-made man.”
“I know. He surely made a mis
take In not consulting an expert."
INSOMNIA
Leads to Madness, if Not Remedied.
“Experiments satisfied me, some 5
years ago," writes a Topeka woman,
“that coffee was the direct cause of the
Insomnia from which 1. suffered ter
ribly, as well as extreme nervousness
and acute dyspepsia.
“I had been a coffee drinker since
childhood, and did not like to think
that the beverage was doing me all
this barm. But it was, and the time
came when I had to face the fact, and
protect myself. I therefore gave up
coffee abruptly and absolutely,' and
adopted Postum for my hot drink at
meals.
“I began to note improvement in
my condition very soon after I took
on Postum. The change proceeded
gradually, but surely, and It was a
matter of only a few weeks before I
found myself entirely relieved—the
nervousness passed ■ away, my diges
tive apparatus was restored to normal
efficiency, and I began to sleep rest-
fully and peacefully.
“These happy conditions have con
tinued during all of the 5 years, and
am safe In saying that I owe them
entirely to Postum, for when X began
to drink it I ceased to use medicines.'

Postum comes In two forms:
Postum Cereal—tho original form-

Instant Postum—a soluble powder-
dissolves quickly In a cup of hot wa

a delicious beverage instantly. 30c and

Both kinds are equally delicious and
cost about the same per cup.

IN THE PASSES OF THE CARPATHIANS
Dutch Suitor Parted by Frontier Fence
From Sweetheart on Next Farm
Has Lively Experience Get.
ting Paet Sentries.
By W. J. L. KIEHL.
(Correspondent of tile Chicago News.!
The Hague.—The course of true love
runs anything but smoothly on the
Belglan-Dutch frontier, especially
when the sweethearts reside on op
posite sides of the barbed-wire fence.
Pete Is a Netherlander, Mleke is a
Belgian; his farm stands securely .on
Dutch soil, hers, precariously In “Lit
tle Germany" (as the Germans call
Belgium). At first the lovers had not
noticed much of the war, which has
left tlielr district almost untouched;
then a Btrong wire fence was put up
and German detachments of cavalry
continually patrolled the Belgian side,
while sentries were placed at Inter
vals with loaded rifles and fixed bay
onets.
Now It was no longer possible to
hold sweet converse at eventide after
the farm work was done. All that re
mained was to walk, he oh one Bide
of the wire, she on the other, and cast
loving glances at each other, for the
Germans would allow no talk across
the border.
At laBt the, swain, spoke of his sad
plight Jo an acquaintance who for a
consideration made It hts business to
conduct Belgian refugees into Hol
land. ’Would Louis (that was the ac
quaintance's name) take him across
on Saturday night so that he could
pnsB the whole Sunday with hts Mleke?
And Louis promised to do so on the
very next Saturday, when he was due
on the other side to meet fugitives at
a certain prearranged place to take
them safely Into Holland.
That Saturday evening was damp
and misty. “Just the right sort of
weather for us,” Louis enthusiastically
put it, but his companion could not
quite agree with him, as he waded
through marshes to the dike beyond
which stretched the wire fence. He
was wearing his Sunday best and the
seeping mud did not Improve the ap
pearance of hts nether garments. But
Louis assured him this marshy land
was just the safest spot to get across.
As they approached the dike Louis
cautioned Pete not to whisper or even
breathe loudly. Cautiously they
crawled up the dike, reached the top
and raised their heads for a hasty
glance around, but at once dropped
them again. For there—though luck
ily with his back toward them—stood
sentinel.
Down the dike slid the adventurers
; noiselessly as they had come.
Louis assured him that a few hundred
yards farther along he knew of an
other sate place. This time they were
more fortunate, and, like rabbits, they
burrowed under and through the wire
and Btood on Belgian, or perhaps we
should say German, ground.
“Now just a few hundred yards of
marsh and then' we get Into'a good
hard road,” LouIb exclaimed, and they
deemed their troubles over. Then they
heard the tramp of feet along the
good hard road and distinguished the
form of a German patrol. , The men
came straight up to the gate that led
into the marshy meadow where the
frontier runners had hurriedly dropped
to the earth. - "They're only resting,"
said Louis.
And so It was. The Germans clam
bered on to the gate and sat there
talking for about a quarter of an
hour, that seemed like a century to
the two cramped and bedraggled men
Now, however, their troubles were
over. They came out into the road
and soon reached the small farm
where Louis was to meet the refugees
Fete felt somewhat better after
hearty supper and dry clothes had
been provided for him by the farm
er’s sympathetic wife and she had
promised to clean his Sunday attire
and have It ready for him to wear
next morning.
Sunday dawned fine and sunny.
Somewhat stiff from his unwonted
exercise, the strenuous suitor pro
ceeded to the farm where hts Mleke
lived. Mleke, her njother and Pete
were eating the meal when suddenly
they heard the thud of horses’ hoofs
and down the bend In the road they
saw a patrol of uhlans heading straight
for the house.
Mleke hastily pushed her gallant
into the stable, then rushed back to
remove the third plate und seat her
self at the table as if nothing had
happened. Pete hurriedly crept into a
meal bin and drew down tho ltd. He
must have been there for hours,
when toward evening Mleke came into
the stable.
•Where are you, Pete?" she whis
pered, and Pete crept out from his
biding place as white as a miller.
Mieke stopped for a laugh, then told
him to get away back into Holland
as fast as possible, as the uhlans were
not all asleep aud this might be his
only.chance, for the whole patrol had
been billeted on the farm and would
be in and out at all hours.
So the sweethearts bade each other
a hasty farewell and Pete hastened-to
return by the same arduous way he
had come. Now he fs once more do
ing his love making through a. barbed-
wire barrier.
WED ONLY FOR LOVE
Dean Virginia C. Gtldersleeve of Bar
nard college declares that there are
fewer divorces among college women
than among any other class, because
the college graduate Is apt to marry
purely for love and not for an occu
pation or a home. Motherhood, she
declares, is really a profession, and a
good cook may be a better one for a
knowledge of Greek. The greatest
value of a college educhtlon for girls,
says Dean Gtldersleeve, lies In just
this: that it gives them a better bal
ance, a more rounded outlook and
truer appreciation of life's values. The
picture Is from a specially posed pho

EPITAPH ON STEPPING STONE
Found on Under Side of Slab Just
Turned Over for First Time
In 50 Years.
Columbia, Conn.—Needing a flat
stone for repairs that he was making,
Edward Phillips pried up one which
for over fifty years had been used as
a stepping-stone near the farmhouse
back door. To his surprise he saw on
the reverse side. In fairly plain letters,,
tho Inscription:
In memory of Emily, daughter of Mr.
Joseph and Mrs. Eunice Smith, who died
April IS, 1814, aged six months and Itfteen
days.
Best, thou, sweet slumberer, in the peace
ful grave;
Short was thy life; forgotten soon shortt
Except’the few who, drowned in sorrow's
wave,
With painful pleasure still remember
thee.
Nobody knows where the stone had
been used or where It came from.
Mr. Bhillips’ father bought the house
over fifty years ago and the stone was
at the back door then for a stepping
stone. It is five feet long and nearly
two feet wide.
Many Shot, but Germans Hesitate to
Fire Over Line for Fear of Neu
trality Violation—Lacerated
In Wire Maze.
Bergen-op-Zoom, Holland. — Dutch
soldiers under arms stand at intervals
along the Dutch-Belgian frontier near
here, keen observers of the movements
of the Germans in devastated Belgium.
The Dutchmen, themselves not at war,
live through at least some of the ex
citement of actual fighting, for tn the
stillness reigning over the peaceful
agricultural districts about here they
cuu hear from time to time the roar of
cannon from the direction of Zee-
brugge. Also they are often witnesses
of the chase by German troops of
young Belgians making a dash for the
frontier In an effort to get to Holland
and thence across the channel to Flan
ders ( to join the Belgian army in
Flanders.
The Germau sentries just over the
river separating the two countries
never cease their vigilant lookout for
these young fellows and have taken
many precautions to prevent thetr
crossing the line. Bushes have been
cut down and obstacles in the way of
a clear view of the landscape have
been removed. Barbed wire entangle
ments have been erected for many
yards.
Yet the young Belgians dare every
thing. They crawl beneath the wire
-in the night and with luck manage in
many cases to get through at the ex
pense of torn clothing and fiesh. Then,
however, there is the open space be-
fore the frontier to pass. This is close
ly guarded by German landsturm
troops, but the Belgians often try to
cover It in a desperate dash under the
fire of the sentries. Many of them
succeed, for the Germans take good
care not to fire in the direction of the
frontier, as they would thus run the
risk of shooting the Dutch sentinels on
the other side of the line and tn this
way committing a breach of neutrality.
Once within Dutch territory the Bel
gian youths are free. As they are not
yet soldters. they cannot be interned
and most of them make thetr way to
a port for shipment across the channel.
The Dutch troops on other parts of
the frontier have to keep a sharp look
out for smugglers of contraband from
their own territory Into' Germany.
These smugglers, because of the rich
profits In case of success, are daring
and risky and do not hesitate to use
violence against their' own country
men. - .
Gasoline and horses are the most,
profitable to the smugglers. The for
mer brings at least treble Its former
price. Sound horses of any age' feteji
’extraordinary prices from the Ger
mans, anything up to $500 being, paid
for draft horses.
All roads leading to the frontier are
closed to traffic.' Directly on the bor
der line at wide intervals stand single
sentries with thetr loaded rifles resting
beneath their arms; About 200 yards
farther back is a second'line of senti
nels and behind ,these some distance
In the rear are pickets of a dozen men,
each with a noncommissioned officer.
The smugglers naturally keep to
side paths or go- acrosB country. In
case they should be seen by the pick
ets they are at once arrested and their
loads confiscated.
Often, however, at night they suc
ceed In passing through the gaps be
tween the pickets. Then their prog;
ress becomes more difficult and their
presence is often discovered by the
forward lines of sentries, who fire If
the smugglers, as sometimes happens,
make a dash to reach the German
lines.
