STRENGTH IN EXCITEMENT.
Either Fear, Rage or Pain Starts the
Adrenal Qlande to Work.
Many a person has wondered where
be obtained the strength that enabled
blm to undergo some emergency that
called for unusual physical exertion
when under ordinary conditions be
would be unable to control a tithe of
that strength, it was from the adre
nal glands, two little glands situated
above the kidneys which secrete what
is known as adrenaline and when
stimulated discharge the same Into the
blood. The effect of this addition to
the blood Is to release sugar from stor
age In the liver and bring it Into the
blood, drive the blood from the ab
dominal regions Into the heart, lungs,
central nervous system and limbs. The
resulting effect Is to excite the muscles
to irrltubility and enable unusual effort
to be made.
Either fear, rage or pain will sup
ply the stimulus required to set the
adrenal glands Into action. When a
muscle Is fatigued without any ac
companying degree of excitement it
may take a couple of hours for It to
recover Its normal condition, but If
adrenaline is injected, or if through
excitement the adrenal glands are
stimulated to discharge and secrete,
the fatigued muscle may regain its
“irritability" in three minutes. The
sugar set free from the liver and cir
culated in the blood stimulates the
muscles, for sugar is the source of
muscular energy. Fear, rage and pain
are thus given us by nature ns agen
cies to enable us to use our physical
powers to their fullest extent In the
crisis that produces the excitement—
Los Angeles Times.
BEARDS IN BATTLE.
And Why Clean Shaven Men Became
Prized as Warriors.
The habit of shaving is not of a very
ancient origin. According to James
Stephens in "Here Are Ladies,” when
humanity lived a quiet, rural and un
ambitious life men did not shave;
their hair was their glory, and if they
had occasion to swear, which must
have been infrequent, their hardiest
and readiest oath was "By the beard
of my father,” showing clearly that
this feature was held in veneration in
early times and was probably accord
ed divine honors upon suitable occa
sions.
With the advent of war came the
habit of shaving. A beard offered too
handy a grip to a foemun who had
got to close quarters; therefore, war
riors who bad no true hardihood of
soul preferred cutting off their beards
to the honorable labor of defending
their chins.
Many ancient races effected a com
promise in order to retain a fitting
military appearance, for a barefaced
warrior has but little of terror in his
aspect. The ancient Egyptians, for
example, who had cut off or could not
cultivate or had been forcibly deprived
of their beards, were wont to go into
battle clad In heavy false whiskers,
which, when an enemy seized hold of
them, came oil’ instantly in his hand,
and the ancient Egyptian was enabled
to dispatch him while in a trance of
stupefaction and horror.
Clean shaven men became by this
cowardly stratagem very much prized
as fighting men. and thus the founda
tion of the shaving habit was laid.
Names of Nations.
The names of the great nations ot
Europe set many puzzles to the philol
ogist. There is no doubt that France
Is the country or the Franks, the free'
men. or that Austria is the eastern
empire. But one would not so easily
guess that “Russians" means rowers
or seafarers- a word of Swedish ori
gin commemorating the Scandinavian
vikings. The Britons have been sup
posed to take their name from a word
signifying variegated, in allusion to
their staining their skins with woad.
Most puzzling of all is "Germans,”
which is not the Latin "germanus.”
own brother, but of Celtic origin, and
has been variously Interpreted as
meaning "the people” or "the shoot
ers.”—London Chronicle.
Taken at Her Word.
A Bloomfield woman looked across
her lawn to where passersby were
breaking off the blossoming twigs of
her favorite quince tree.
“We might as well cut the tree down
as let it stand for people to destroy.”
said she.
Half an hour later the tree lay on the
ground beside a little hatchet, while
around behind the bouse the small buy
uf the family was getting a switching
with one of the branches.
This teaches us that we should be
sure of our audience berore we employ

A Means of Approach.
Though I am nor a smoker i like to

able to give a match is a great luxury,
it forms the basis for a momentary
friendship — Atlantic.
