Doctors Agree Now That That Is the Best
Thing for the Health.
WRITTEN FOR THE DrsPATcH.l
The wise doctors grow wiser with each
year. Time was when they were wise
enough to tell US that the chief of sins
against ones stomach was to give it work
to do before putting it to bed. This was de-
clared to be the fruitful source of dyspepsia
and nightmare and other unholy Affections.
They are wiser now and tell us that so far
from being wrong to ourselves to eat before
going to bed, it is wise and desirable
thing to do, especially in case of delicate
persons and growing children, or when the
food OF the previous meal has had time
thoroughly to digest before the sleeping
hour
Many person has found this out for him
self or herself by personal experiment.
Ihere are few persons so unfortunate as
TO be unable to eat even lightly before
sleeping without having a stupid headache
the next day. But the majority of people
are only the better for little food at bed
time. 1t should not be rich or OF great va
riety. A few biscuits and cup of hot bull
lon is excellent; SO is glass of beer or of
hot milk, slipped slowly, and both induce
sleep. Cheese, meats, fruits and pastries
are not good guides through dreamland
They know where the ogres dwell.
More women sin through undertaking
than through over-eating. And all women
sin in not distributing rightly the amount
of food taken through the "a hours. An
empty stomach is as bad as an empty head
Digestion is the proper function of the
stomach, and 1t can be made more nearly
continuous than people think. The COM
mon practices of putting into the stomach
three times in "A hours. just as much food as
it can hold, and then Of giving it nothing
whatever for II hours more, is about as
illogical an arrangement as anybody ever
devised. To the credit of the human race
be it said that this is habit that is not now
universal. The French eat four times
day, the English four and sometimes five,
the Germans four also. A woman who
breakfasts at 8 should eat again between
II and II. Luncheon at 1 again, and tea
and biscuit at 5, when dinner is at $50 or
Z. Before going to bed at II she should eat
a little more-a biscuit again and something
hot. This will insure quick and resting
sleep, because it takes the blood from the
head, where it doesn't belong, down to the
stomach, where it does belong.

TRICKS WITH A BIRD.

Minutes if He Knows the Secret.
THE BLONDIN TRICK IS EASY.
ALI There Is in 1t Is to Utilize the Shape

GETTING DOVES TO ALIGHT on YOU


WRITTEN FOf OlSfATCH.l
The bird that is born in captivity is al-
ways harder to train than another of the
same species which is Matched in freedom.
It is the same way with wild animals. 1t is
explained that the captive has been accus-
toned from infancy to the sight of man and
to restraint; therefore, when the. trainer
begins to exercise his authority he finds
that his pupil has an unbroken will, and
that fear of man does not enter into his
mind.

est and best bird trainer in this country.
He took from one of the cages = wild bull

sYou are going to die now," said ths
trainer, and he laid the finch on its back
upon the carpet, gently smoothing down its
wings close to its body and Strengthening
out its legs so that the claws rested between
the long tail feathera
''Now, sir, you are dead" And the bird
looked it
'The policeman is coming; look out for
yourselfP' and Mr.. Moody slapped the car
pet on each side of the dead bird with the
palms of his hands, and in the twinkling Of
an eye the dead bird had come to life, and
was perched trembling upon toy tree in
the farther corner Of the room. All Of this
was done in less than five minutes.
These tricks, as you see, are exceedingly
simple. The bird could not help doing
them. The trainer had simply taken adj
vantage of the peculiar conformation Of the
birds body. Any bird handled as the finch
was handled could NOT have helped doing
the same things, although it might have
taken longer to have roughed the fear out Of
an excessively shy bird. It is equally easy
to train birds to fly to their trainer and eas

The Regular Tricks Are Harder.
There are many amusing tricks which re-

fire off cannons, pull wagons, haul down
flags, draw wagons filled with seed up an
inclined plane to the cage, and draw water
from q miniature well in little thlmbls

until the simpler tricks are learned and the

Take it into q small and entirely empty

bird go. Don't let it perch for an instant
anywhere. Keep it constantly on the wing.

perch upon. At first, and indeed after
many trials, it will bite at your finger.
When it does that smooth it down until ID

doing this and in less than two hours you
will tame the widest Polly that ever asked

they learn that they can alight only upon

Not very long ago was witness to curl
GUS instance of practical joking between
two animals. Persia was Persian cat, and
Skye was terrier. They lived together on
good terms, there being but single point
of controversy-who should occupy the fur
rug in front of the CRATE. But about this
there was strife every day; sometimes
strategy, sometimes force.
One day 1 saw both. Persia had been
doing on the rug all the morning and Skye
thought it was his turn. He whined,
wheedled, barked, tried to crowd himself
place, but in vain. Suddenly he ran
to the window, jumped on small
stool and began to bark furiously,

Catholic Church Trial.

NEWARK, N. j., Dec. 12.-An eccleiasti-
cal trial, which will probably rival that
of Dr. McGlynn, will be called to-day in
the diocese of Newark, which is under the
supervision of Bishop Wigger. Father
Patrick Corrigan, rector of the church of
Our Lady of Grace, in Hoboken, has been
cited to appear for causing to be pub
lished over his own signature statements
which the bishop charges are false.
Father Corrigan has been making Wig
orous protest against the introduction of
foreign ideas into the management of the
church in this country and the charges
grow out of letter published on this
subject by the priest. 1t is likely that
Monsignor Satolli, who now has almost
papal power in this country, will be
called upon to decide finally between the
priest and his bishop, but the court be-
fore which he will be tried to-day will
consist of the bishop, the chancellor of
the diocese, a prosecutor and the coun.
sci for the defendent; all but the latter
are selected by the bishop. Archbishop
Corrigan and Cardinal Gibbons have not
as yet interfered in the case.

Cleveland's Conservatism.

New York, Dec. 12.-At the annual din
ner of the Reform club Saturday evening,
the principal speakers were Cleveland,
Schurz, Mills, Campbell and others. Mr..
Cleveland spoke of the recent election as
one of the grandest victories ever
achieved by right and justice. 1t af-
forded proof that the American people
can be trusted to manage the government.
He spoke also of the heavy responsibility
of those who rejoice, because it is they
who will have the shaping of the nations
destiny. He believes, however, that the
wisdom of the party will be equal thereto.
The work will be done without the least
resentment toward former opponents,
and the welfare of all the people will be
regarded.

LABOR CONGRESS.
Vital Topics Coming up To-day Be
fore the American Federation.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 12.--In indie
pendence hall to-day the twelfth annual
convention of the American Federation
of Labor begins and in many respects it
will be the most important labor gath
ering ever held in the United States.
This is due of course to the fact that it is
the first national meeting of trades union
organizations since the close of the great
strikes in 1892. President Samuel Com
pers, who will preside over all the delib-
erations, has this to say of the prospect
i've work of the convention. "We will
have with us delegates from all the or
ganizations in which strikes occurred
and will be furnished with complete re-
ports concerning them. Capt. John
O'Brien, the organizer for Oregon, will
be one of the notable characters at the
gathering. He comes armed with all the
facts in the Coeur d Alene strikes and his
report will astonish the country.
aside from this strike we will have re-
ports from Buffalo, Tennessee and Home
stead, and all these cases will be thor
oughly discussed. Pinkertonism will
receive rebuke, which it will remember
for years, and congress will of course be
memorialized to act decisively against
further reasonable action on the part of
detective agencies or employers.
"Then there are number of important
questions to come in addition to these
mentioned. Homestead day will of course
be observed on Dec. 13, tomorrow, and
collections will be taken up for the desti-
tute at Homestead, not alone in the con-
vention but in every trades union in the
county. Efforts will also be directed to
strengthing all existing labor organiza-
tions who are affiliated with the fedora
tion, and we have hopes that the great Or
ganizations of labor employees will come
into the fold this year. AS we believe in
the restriction of immigration to some
extent, that question will claim our at
tention very soon after we meet. The
reduction of the hours of labor to eight
will of course be advocated again, but
just what steps the convention will take
in the way of forcing demands of this kind
remains for the delegates to see. A de-
cided change in the conspiracy laws will
be thoroughly discussed and brought to
the attention of legislators in no equivocal
terms. The prohibition of child labor,
the convict contract system and the
question of the liability of employers for
accidents to workmen occasioned by de-
fective machinery will all receive the at
tention of the convention"
