in st. Louis was recently caught in q
trap. 1t was found to be of the cat
species, with a fat head, short ears,
wide mouth, and its body, which was
of a grayish yellow color, had black
stripes running from the sides like those
of tiger. It's tail was about foot
long and was also striped. The whole
length of the animal was about three

tools with their owners name, especially
II neighborhoods where communistlc
i..eas prevail upon the subject OF the
ownership of implements, and where con-

| think | can assert with truth that in
Il long practice, three have died among
my patients from over eating where

come apopleXy, paralysis, dyspepsia,

too much and too rich food taken I'M

And yet we hear of no society formed
to prevent this growing vice. A man
eats until he drops down and expires

up comes the coroner with jury Of
twelve good men and true, who pro-

ECt i'm the Sunshine.

Sleeplcss persons should court the
sun. The very worst sporific is
laudanaum, and the very best, sun
shine. Therefore it is very plain that
poor sleopers should pass as many
hours as possible in the sunshine, and
as few as possible in the shade Many
women are martyrs, and yet they do
not bnowit, They shut the sunshine
out Of their houses and their hearts ;
they wear wells they carry parasols
and everything possible to keep off
the most potent influence which is in
tended to give them strength and
beauty and cheenulness. Is it not
time to change all this and so get
color and roses on our pale cheeks,
strength i'll our weak backs, and
courage in our timid souls? The
women Of America are pale and deli
cate, but with the aid Of sunlight they
may be blooming and strong,
