Believes in Late suppers

DIR. w. T. Cathell has entered a
strong protest against the old-fashion-
ed idea that people should go to bed
comparatively hungry. He is of tie
opinion that fasting during the long
interval between supper and break
fast, and especially the complete
emptiness Of the stomach during sleep,
add greatly to the amount Of emacia-
ton. sleeplessness and general weak
ness so often met with.
It is we'll known that in the body
there is perpetual disintegration OF
tissues, sleeping or waking, it is, there
fore, natural to believe that the supply
of nourishment should be somewhat
continuous, especially in those in
whom the vitality is lowered.

The following lines were not writ-

noble poem of the Three Fishers.
The writer's wall was wrung from him
by circumstances over which he had
no control.
Three flies come skating all oyer my p ate
On the smooth eapanse whence the hail
has gone;
Each "biffs y my best eye in malice ant

And is Off and away 'ere my hand comes

For flies must tickle and men must slap.
Though certain to miss at every rap,
When the summer storm is brewing.

Here is a Character.


In the mountain districts of Penn
sylyania two wrens had built their
nest under the caves of ap old farm
house, and there they reared a small
and interesting family. Among the
attaches of the farmers household
was a white cat, and when the wrens
became 50 tame that they used to hop
around the piazza in search Of crumbs
the cat would lie in wait for them,
and several times came within an ace
of catching the adult birds. When
the farmer noticed this be kicked the
cat, and she finally learned that it
was dangerous to fool with the wrens.
When the baby wrens grew larger
one Of them one day fell out OF the
nest, aud, being too weak to run and
unable to fly, lay helpless on the
grass The cat saw the accident and
ran rapidly to seize to bird, but, seem-
ing to remember the lesson taught
her, when she reached the helpless
little thing she only touched it daint-
ly with her paw and then lay down
and watched it.
Presently there came black and
yellow garden snake toward the fut-
tering birding. The cat was doing
and was awakened by the futteriug
Of the bird. Instantly she rose and
struck at the reptile with her paw.
This was an enemy the snake did not
appreciate, but it was hungry, so it
darted forward and attempted to seize
the bird under the very shelter of the
cats head.
Like q fash the cat seized the snake
just back Of the head and killed it
with one bite. When the farmer hap.
pened along in the afternoon he found
the cat crouching in the grass shelter
ing the bird, and ten feet away was
the dead snake. This made it clear
that the cat had carried the bird away
from the snake, and the young ad-
venturer was soon restored to its
anxious parents. s.-Brandon Bucksaw.

A very touching but painful incident
illustrating the depth of ignorance and the
wasted powers of self abnegation which
exist among japanese women has been
brought to light The story runs that a
florist named Toyoshima Sakichi, fifty
years of age, was attacked by some disease
of the brain and has been confined to his
bed since Jan. Is. His daughter, Yone
aged sixteen. who was engaged as serv-
ant in the house of a military officer, was
deeply grieved by the illness u her father
and his apparently hopeless condition.
She went barefooted day by day to Seka-
kuji temple to pray, but all to no purpose
Her father continued as bad as before. At
last one night an old man with SNOW white
hair appeared to her and told her that il
she wished her father to get well she must
give him cupful of blood from girl six
teen years of age On awakening she de-
cided that she would carry out the old
mans instructions.
She procured sword from her masters
house and went home, telling her parents
about her dream, and that she intended to
give her father a cup of her blood. Her
father, Mortified at his daughters conduct.
took the sword from her and demonstrated
with her. She returned to her work, but
on the same night she cut her left arm in
two places and carried the cup Of blood to
her father, imploring him to drink 1t.
The Mortified parents sent for doctor
and had her wounds dressed. and did their
best to drive away her superstitious be
liefs. This is Of course only an exagger-
ated instance of the superstition and igno
rance which lead to all the other sacri-
fees made by women for their parents In
japan. -Chicago Herald.

He attracted considerable attention,
even in Chicago, where doformities and
beggars are ut every turn, for the terrible
character of his injury. Both legs had
been taken off at the thigh, leaving hardly

Side streets few days ago, leaning back
against pile of lumber that lay at the
edge of the walk Without this support
he must have lost his balance, for he used
10 crutches. and 1t appeared that his hands
were the only propelling power he could
use.

easy At last the hat was emptied and re-
turned to its other post of service on his
head. Two men came hurriedly out of the
