THINK BEFORE BREAKFAST.
You Can Do It Sottor Bocauoo Yfur
Mind Will Bo Cloar»r.''
To say “Think before you eat”
sounds something like “Look be
fore you leap,” and there is really
just as much reason for one as for
the other, according to many au
thorities who have long studied
mankind to learn when they were
capable of their best thinking.
If a man is dependent upon his
life work by means of his thinking
it is just as important that he should
choose that time when he is best
qualified to think as it is impor
tant that ho should look before he
crosses a street.
Morning, before breakfast, is said
to be the very best time for think
ing. There are always exceptions.
Then, again, there are many who
declare they can think better at
night who perhaps never made the
experiment of giving serious thought
to anything before breakfasting.
Men who employ thousands of op
eratives, clerks and such people are
agreed that their employees produce
a great deal more work during the
hour before they go to lunch than
they do during the hour right after
lunch.
Of course the reason for this is
quite natural. The food taken into
the stomach calls upon the blood to
help do its share in the work of di
gestion, and this leaves less blood in
the braim When all the blood goes
from the brain, or nearly all, a per
son becomes unconscious—that is,
utterly unable to think at all in
any degree. Consequently it is only
logic to claim that anything that
takes the blood from the brain de
tracts just so much from one’s
thinking capacity.
Probably the majority of novelists
do the best part of their work in the
morning. Many of them take a
very light breakfast, a cup of mild
cofi'ee and some toast, and then
write four or five hours. After that
they take a hearty meal and devote
the remainder of the day to play—
that is, to idleness or exercise or
motoring or anything that amuses
them, but does not call for brain
concentration.
A great many business men have i
a habit of dictating all their letters
the first thing upon entering their
office in the morning. Other let
ters that come through the day are
unanswered except in cases of neces
sity until the next morning. In
this manner these men aro^able to
think clearly and concisely and
quickly, in the morning and dictate
much better letters—letters that
are clearer and of more value to the
business man.
After a big dinner, a specially
hearty meal, we feel dull and heavy.
Feeling like that, wc are certainly
not as brilliant mentally as we were
before eating.—New York Ameri
can.
Tibetan Teamaking.
An Englishman while in Tibet
was invited out to tea and learned
1 the art of tcamaking as practiced in
that country. It appears to be some
what as follows:
For six persons boil a teacupful of
ica in three pints of water for ten
minutes, with a heaping dessert
spoonful of soda. Put the infusion
into the churn, with one pound of
butter and a small tablespoonful of
salt. Churn until the combination
is of the consistency of cream.
The Tibetans prize butter for its
age. The best is often forty, fifty
or even sixty years old.—Harper’s.
Candle* Used as a Clock.
Various expedients for measuring
time were in use before the inven
tion of clocks. Alfred the Great
caused six tapers to be made for his
daily use. Each taper was twelve
inches long and of proportionate
diameter. The whole length was
] divided into twelve parts of one
inch each, of which three would
burn for one bouri so that each ta
per should be consumed in four
hours. The six tapers, lighted one
after another, lasted twenty-four
hours.—Indianapolis News.
The Age of Elizabeth.
The class in English history was
in session, and the professor was
telling of the impressionable age at
the time of the Elizabethan era.
\ After speaking for some minutes on
j the subject he turned to one of the
I young men and asked:
I "‘How old was Elizabeth, Mr.
Holmes ?”
The young man wore a faraway
expression.
“Eighteen on her last birthday,
sir.” came the reply.—Lippincott’s.
