In these beliefs regarding meteors and
eclipses there was littlo calculated TO do
harm by arousing that superstitious terror
which IS the worst breeding bed OF
cruelty. Far otherwise was It with the
beliefs regarding comets. During many
centuries they brought terrors which de
yeloped the direct superstition and fanati-
cism the ancient records Of every Con
tinent are full of these. One great man,
indeed, in the Roman Empire had the
scientific instinct and prophetic inspira-
ton to foresee that at some future time
the course Of sosa-ts would be found in
accordance witt. natural law. But this
thought of Seneca was soon forgotten
such an is5iatt5elii utterance could not stand
against the mass OF superstition whichup-
held the doctrine that comets are signs
and wondersn. The belief that every
comet is bali of fire, flung from the
right hand of an angry God TO warn the
groveling dwellers OF earth, was received
into the early church, transmitted through
the middle ages TO the Reformation pc
Rod, and in its transmission and reception
was made all the more precious by sup
posed textual proofs from Scripture. The
great fathers Of the church committed
themselves unreservedly to this doctrine
Tertullian declared the comets portend
revolutions of kingdoms, pestilence, war,
winds, or heat" 0rigen insisted that they
indicate catastrophies, and the downfall
of empires and worlds The Venerable
Bede,so justly dear TO the English Church
made in the Ninth century similar de
claration. ST. Thomas Aquinas, the great
light of the universal church in the Thir
teenth century, whose works the Pope now
reigning commends as the center of all
university instruction, accepted and hand
ed down the same opinion. The sainted
Albert the Great, the most noted genius
of the medieval church in natural science
received and developed this theory

Don't Wake Him Early.

A correspondent of the New-York Horn
ing Journal having asked it to give its
opinion whether a little boy six years of
age should be allowed to sleep until eight
o'clock every morning, that paper thought
lessly replies, Wake him early" If this
advice is followed by all the readers of a
widely circulated newspaper, it is liable to
do good deal of harm. If the boy sleeps
until eight o'clock because he does not go
to bed until ten or later, the remedy lies
not in waking him early, but putting him
to sleep early If he goes to bed early and
sleeps late, the fact alone is reason enough
for not waking him
A great deal of harm may be done by
applying to growing children the term of
"early to rise" rising with the SUM- etc
In old times when artificial light was
scarce and dear, and many people were
obliged to go to bed with fowls, lying abed
in the morning was sign of laziness.
This tradition has come down with so
much force that many still count it vir-
tue to cut short the sleep of young child
rem whereas, sleep may be absolutely
necessary to their health and development.
If boy who does not sit up late sleeps
until eight o'clock it is sign that he needs
more sleep than most boys; and it is too
sweeping, as it is cruel, to say, Wake him
early" A parent has no more right to
starve child of sleep than of food; not as
much, in fact, because a child is often in
danger of eating too much, but seldom in
danger of sleeping too much; certainly
not when his sleep is part of his regular
nights slumber.-Detrou Free Press.

Mr.. Nudge. Trouble;

Some years ago, when the writer was a
reporter, it devolved on him TO write for
the same edition an account OF the pre-
sentation Of gold-headed cane to the
Rev. Mr.. Nudge, the clergyman of the
place. and a description of new hog
killing machine that had Just been in
operation at the factory. Now what made
the Rev Mr. Nudge mad was this: The
inconsiderate who made up the forms got
the two accounts mixed up in a frightful
manner. and when it went to press some
thing like this was the appalling result;
Some of the Rev. Mr.. Mudges friends
called on him yesterday, and, after brief
consultation, the unsuspecting hog was
seized by the hind legs and slid along the
beam until it reached the hot-water tank.
His friends explained the object OF the
visit, and presented him with gold head
ed butcher, who grabbed him by the tail
and swung him around. and in less than
minute the carcass was in hot water
Therefore he came forward. and said there
were times when the feelings oyerpowered
one and for that reason he could not do
more than to attempt to thank those
around him for the manner in which such
an animal was cut into fragments was as
tonishing The doctor concluded his re
marks, the machine seized him, and in less
time than it takes to write it, the hog was
cut into fragments and worked into de
licious sausages. The occasion will be
remembered by the doctors friends as
one of the most pleasant of their lives.
The best pieces can be obtained for seven
cents pound, and we are sure those who
sat under his ministry will rejoice to hear
that he has been so handsomely treated. y
Madl Well, about 8 O'Clock that morn
ing the office had been abandoned by
every man but the advertising clerk. and
he assembled to the roof, SO that he could
see the clergyman tearing around down
in the street with his congregation all
wearing the panoply of war, and carrying
stout cudgels and other things. The next
day we apologized, but the doctor stopped
his paper.-T'rUc Flag.

The Foreign Mail.



A large amount of very valuable plate
was sent to Osborne from Windsor Castle
for Royal wedding. The necessity of
bringing everything from London or
Windsor was one of the most tiresome

Trouble About Cen. Grant. Book.

There is reported to be some trouble be
tween the publishers of Grants book and
their agents. In one case a large agency
has been thrown up. The delay in the
publication of the book has brought about
some serious complications, which may
considerably reduce the sum which it was
expected the estate would derive from the
work The first volume is to be out in
December, and the second in March fol
lowing. The delay is long one, and it
would be very difficult to sustain public
interest in any book for that length of
time. But it is the more difficult TO do so
in the case of Grants, since there have
been numerous cheap publications assum-
ing to tell the story of his life issued since
his death by houses which deal in sub
seription books only. These have glutted
the market
Another important factor has been the
price of the book to agents. As usual
thing the general agents of subscription
book get discount Of from 60 to 40 per
cent. generally the latter. They in turn
give individual agents about IS per cont
In the case of the Grant memoirs the gen
eral agents receive 40 per cent. and only
% per cent IS allowed individual agents.
The difference is sufficiently large to pre-
vent any active bidding by agents, and
this, combined with the delay, has made
the sale drag.-B0st0H Transcript

Worth Remembering.

1t is unwise to change to cooler cloth
ing except when you first get up in the
morning.
Never ride with your arm or elbow on
the outside of any vehicle.
The man who attempts to alight from
steam car while in motion is a fool
In stepping from any wheeled vehicle
while in motion, let il be from the rear
and not in front of the wheels; for then if
you fall, the wheels cannot run over you.
Never attempt to cross the road or street
IN front of a passing vehicle for if you
should stumble or slip, you would be run
over. Make up the half minute lost by
waiting until the vehicle has passed by
increased diligence in other directions
If you waGt TO sleep well at night, avoid
sleeping during daylight
II is miserable economy to save time by
robbing yourself of necessary sleep.
If you find yourself inclined to wake up
at regular hour in the night, and remain
awake, you can break up the habit in three
days, by getting up as soon as you wake,
and not going to sleep again until your
usual hour for retiring, or retire two
hours later and rise two hours earlier for
three days in succession, not sleeping q
moment during the daytime
II infants and young people are inclined
to be wakeful during the night, or very
early in the morning, put them to bed la
ter at night; and beside arrange that their
day nap shall always be in the forenoon.
Order is heavens first law regularity
in eating, sleeping and exercise has a
large share in securing long and health
ful life
II you are caught in drenching rain,
or fall into the water, by all means keep
in motion sufficiently vigorous 10 prevent
the slightest chilly sensation when YOU
reach the house; then change your clothes
with great rapidity before a blazing fire
and drink instantly pint of some hot
liquid. To allow wet clothes to dry upon
you, unless by keeping up a vigorous

dal
If you are in passion shut your mouth,
for words will increase it. Many a person

Fruit a. an Article Of Daily Dict.

One of the most salutary tendencies of
domestic management in our day is that
which aims at assigning to fruit favored
place in our ordinary diet. The nutrient
value Of such food. in virtue of its compo
nent starches and saccharine materials, is
generally admitted and while these sub
stances cannot be said to equal in accumu-
lated force the more solid ingredients of
meat and animal fat, they are similarly
useful in their own degree and have, more
over, the advantage of greater digestbi-
hty Their conversion within the tissues
is also attended with less friction and
pressure ON the constructive machinery
The locally stimulant action of many sub
acid fruits on the mucous membrane de
serves mention. Its control of too active
peptic secretions and its influence of at
traction exercised upon the alkaline and
aperient intestinal juice are points of
more than superficial Importance. To
this action further effects, which aid the
maintenance of pure and vigorous circu-
lation, are indirectly due. Dyspeptic
stomachs, ON the other hand are usually
benefited by a moderate allowance of this
light and stimulating fare. II must be
remembered, moreover, that every fruit is
not equally wholesome, let the digestion
be as powerful as it may be- Nuts, for
example as they do, for the
most part, of condensed albuminoid and
fatty matters compare in accept
ance, either by the palate or the stomach,
with other succulent kinds, even though
they contain in the same bulk a far
greater amount of nutriment. A little of
such fruit is enough for digestion, and
that little is best cooked. Nevertheless,
if we take fruit as a whole, ripe and sound
of course, and consider the variety, its
lightness and nourishing properties, wheth-
er eaten alone or with other food, and its
cheap abundance, we cannot hesitate to
add our voice in support of its just claims
on public attention. In former articles
we have shown why vegetable produce of
all kinds should enter largely into the
food of children. Wellchosen fruits are
consequently for chem as safe and beneti-

The annual convention of the Catholic
Total Abstinence Union of Wisconsin
will be held in this city on the 18th and
10Th of June. 1t is intended to make
this convention the largest and most
important temperance convention ever
held in the state, and it is hoped all our
citizens will lend their assistance and
help to make it a grand success. On
the evening Of the first day ofthe con-
vention mass meeting will be held in
one Of the public halls, which will be adj
dressed by several of the best speakers
in the West. On the afternoon of the
second day a grand picnic will be given
at the fair grounds, which will be follow
ed by ball at Simmons Hall in the
evening. It is intended to make the
picnic surpass anything of the kind ever
held in this city, and nothing will be
left undone to make the ball very en-
joyable affair. A soliciting committee
has been appointed to call upon our
citizens for contributions towards de-
fraying the expenses of the convention,
and it is hoped they will meet with a
generous response.
