Motive Power In Norway.
The greatest single factor In the
possible Industrial development of
Norway lies undoubtedly In its cheap

The country having practically no coal
resources, the Norwegian Industries,

upon the utilisation of waterfalls as
a primary motive power source.
First Hours of Sleep the Best.
It has been proved conclusively that
the first hours of sleep are deeper
than the rest and that'with the length
the tendency to wake at any noise Increases.
From this follows the recuperative
value of the few first hours
of deep sleep and the explanation why
men of great energy like Napoleon.
Frederick the Great and Vlrchow were
completely satisfied with a sleep of
from three to four hour*.

| Soldier's Moot Trying Position.
The average soldier finds the moot
| terrifying position to be that of standing
motionless In the front rank, exposed
to the enemy's flro without being
able to reply. The order to advance
or to charge with fixed bayonets
Is then received as a release from
agony. Movement, even Into greater
peril, distracts the mind and greatly
educes the mental anguish.
Farming and Prosperity.
To conserve the soil, to raise abundant
crops and an adequate supply of
live stock; to study and ipply the
most efficient and economical methods
of production, knd to sell the stock
only when ready for market, adopting
the above as a steady, permanent policy,
will contribute more to the prosperity
of farmers themselves and to
the prgsperlty of the nation than all
other causes put together.
