The Cats Ate the CrIcket,.

There is a man in Harlem who has
a much respected aunt. The aunt is
wealthy and eccentric. She came to
live with tins Harlem resident, aud
having been reared in the country and
having recently come from there she
missed the rural hum of insects and
the agricultural noises of country
residence.
Being anxious to please his rela-
tive and make her reconciled to city
life this Harlem man hired number
of boys to secure crickets for him. He
bought twenty cans of criokets and
turned them out to pasture in his
back yard For several nights the
cheerful chirping of the crickets
proved very soothing TO the aged aunt
The various cats in the neighborhood
soon became aware of the unusual
number of crickets in this back yard.
Cats are fond of crickets, and now the
Harlem man has cats and no crickets
in his back yard. He says that all the
cats in Harlem have made his yard a
trystidg place and the aunt threatens
to move back into the country, New

WISE WORDS.

Love g6ins every time it is tested.
Home is the fortress of the virtues.
The truthful man is dead; been dead
a long time.
The real ruler of the man is within
him, not without.
The man who throws stone at an
other hurts himself.
1t is time wasted to argue with a
doubt. Kick il out
It's the youngest man who thinks no
has the least time to spare.
The whisper of slanderer can be
heard farther than thunder.
There is no good quality which does
not become o vice by excess.
A woman is seldom quite so happy
as when she is thoroughly miserable.
Finding fault with another is only a
roundabout way of Dragging on your
self.
Some people are kept poor because
they will not believe it is blessed TO
give.
The man who is afraid to look his
faults squarely in the face will never
get rid of them.
No man is perfectly consistent. He
who is nearest consistency steers the
crookedest course.

TOmbs of the Danish Kings.

In the resting place of the old kings
of Denmark, the Cathedral of Rokes-
kid, a recent visitor notes that there
is a column against which number of
monarchs have been measured, and
upon which their different heights are
recorded. One of them is Peter the
Great, and We learn by this means
that the shipwright Czar measured no
less than eighty Danish inches, equiv
alent to something like six feet, ten
inches in our measurement. Only one
other of the sovereigns was taller, and
that was Christian of Denmark, who,
according to this authority, was just a
trihe over seven feet English. The
Czar, Alexander III, is about six feet
one inch, and is about a couple OF
inches taller than Christian TX of
Denmark, and about four inches taller
than King George of Greece, neither
of whom, nevertheless, is what would
be called a short man. 1t is worth
noting that in the same ancient cathe-
dral where this column is to be seen,

The Ethics of Weariness.

In a lecture at Cambridge, England,
on the subject of "Weariness, Pro-
fessor Michael Foster said undue ex-
ertion was exertion in which the mus
cles worked too fast for the rest of the
body. The hunted hare died not be-
cause he was choked for want of breath,
not because his heart stood still, its
store of energy having given out, but
because poisoned blood poisoned his
brain and his whole body. So also the
schoolboy, urged by pride to go on
running beyond the earlier symptoms
of distress, struggled on until the
heaped mp poison deadened his brain,
and he fell dazed and giddy, as in n
fit, rising again, it might be, and
stumbling on unconscious, or half un-
conscious only, by mere mechanical
inertia of his nervous system, falling
once more, poisoned by poisons of his
own making. All our knowledge went
to show that the work of the brain,
like the work of the muscles, was ac-
companied by chemical change, and
that the chemical changes were OF the
same order in the brain as in the
muscle. If an adequate stream of pure
blood were necessary for the life of the
muscle, equally true, perhaps even
more true, was this of the brain. More
over, the struggle for existence had
brought to the front n brain ever
ready to outrun its more humble help
mate, and even in the best regulated
economy the period Of most effective
work between the moment all the
complex machinery had been got into
working order and the moment when
weariness began to tell was bounded
by all too narrow limits. The sound
way to extend those limits was not SO
much to render the brain more agile
as to encourage the humber help
mates, SO that their more efficient CO.
operation might defer the onset OF

RATS OF ApvERrIslno
THE SILENT BATTLE.

Shall tell you about the battle
That was fought in the world to-day,
Where thousands went down like heroes
To death in the pitiless fray?
You may know some Of the wounded
And some Of the fallen when
Itell you this wonderful battle
Was fought in the hearts of men.
Not with the sounding Of trumpets,
Nor clashing of sabers drawn,
But, silent as twilight in autumn,
All day the fight went on.
And over against temptation
A mothers prayers were cast
That had come by silent marches
From the lullaby land Of the past.
And over the field of battle
The force Of ambition went,
Driving before IT. like arrows,
The children Of sweet content.
And memories odd and olden
Came up through the dust Of years,
And hopes that were glad and golden
Were met by host OF fears.
And the heart grew worn and weary
And said: "Oh, can it be
That am worth the struggle
You are making to-day for me2"
For the heart itself was the trophy
And prize ofthis wavering fight
And tell me, O gentle reader,
Who camps on the field tonight?
Alfred Ellison.

In his annual report Brigsdier Gen
eral Carlin, commanding the Depart
ment of the Columbia, says that the
experiment of making the Indian a
soldier is decided failure so far as his
experience goes, and he has recon-
mended the discharge of the few Indian
soldiers now in his department, less
than a company. General Carlin re-
ports that there has been n decided
increase in desertions during tine past
year, due, in great measure, to the
nnpopularity of the ten year service
law, and he recommends the repeal of
that law. He also recommends that
the small posts in his department be
abandoned and the troops concentrated
at general post at the principal rail
road center.

Gas For Cooking.

While electricity is trenehing SO
seriously upon the field of gas light
ing, any recent application of gas
which leads to an extension of its con-
sumption is of importance to gas pro-
ducers. Some foreign companies seem
to have done this quite successfully in
at least one direction. At the recent
Dundee meeting of the North British
Association of Gas Managers one mem
ber, Mr.. J. Ballantyne, of Rothesay,
stated that the company had gained
an increase of consumption of at least
foSty per cent in about six years, due
to cooking by gas among its custom
ers. The gas company furnishes the
cookers to its patrons at a rental of
ten per cent. of the list cost price per
annum, which charge also includes
putting them in, taking them away
and keeping them in order. About
eleven per cent. of the customers are
supplied. His and other companies
have not only found this profitable
part of their market, but il has the
added advantage Of being nearly day
light consumption, thus tending to
equalize the demand on the plant. -

The effect of a newspaper paragraph
may be far-reaching in its legal conse-
quences sometimes especially in
France. II. Cornet, overseer at the
West of France Engine Works, was
severely attacked in the columns of q
railroad newspaper L'Echo des Chem
list dc Fer (Enlish, "The Railway
Echo). He took these criticisms so
much to heart that he committed sui
eide, leaving widow and child. The
said widow brought suit for damages
against L'Echo, holding that her hus-
bands death was the direct result OF
the criticisms in that paper, and the
court, concurring in that view, award
ed the full amount claimed, ten thou
sand dollars, and condemned the news
paper in the entire costs of the action.

The varieties of sleigh bells this sea-
son will be larger than ever, announces
the Chicago Herald, and manufactur-
ers will cater more to luxurious tastes.
As one can now pay 500 or more for n
whip, so can he give $40 for body
strap of bells. For that he can get a
strap covered with Alaska sealskin,
with sixty silver, brass, gold or nickel
bells, the metal not being, of course,
SO precious as the names indicate.
Somewhat cheaper straps ere made of
beaver or mink, wool seal, kangaroo,
ooze calf or Persian lamb. Or if the
pleasure-seeker wishes, he can initiate
the tastes of the Russian, the Lap
lander or the Tartar. In foxtail
plumes he can find the upright, the
dropping and the hanging plumes, or
some elegant horse hair plumes, for
$50 per pair.

LITTLE A11-A1oNEY,

Little All-Aloney's feet
Pitter-patter in the hall,
And his mother runs to meet
And to kiss her toddling sweet,
Ere perchance he fall.
He is, oh, 80 weak and small
Yet what danger shall he fear
When his mother hoveth near
And he hears her cheering call
"All-AloDey2'
Little All-Aloney's face
It is all aRlow with glee,
AS around that romping place
At a terrifying pace
Lungeth, plungeth he
And that hero seems to be
All unconscious Of our cheers
Only one dear voice he hears
Calling reassuringly:
"All-Aloneyr
Though his legs bend with their load,
Though his feet they seemed SO small
That you cannot help forebode
Some disastrous episode
In that noisy hail.
Neither threatening bump nor fall
Little All-Aloney fears,
But with sweet bravado steers
Whittier comes that CHEEKY call,
"All-Aloneyr'
Ah that In the years to come,
When he shares Of Sorrows store,
When his feet are chill and numb,
When his cross is burdensome,
Nd his heart is sore
Would that he could hear once more
The gentle voice he used to hear--
Divine with mother love and cheer
Calling from yonder spirit shore;
GAN, ali alone"

A Remarkable Career.

A remarkable autography goes with
q damage suit for $4,000 filed at Wash
ington, d. @. The complaint is against
a Washington street railway. The
complainant is Henry Johnson, who
says he WAS badly cut and bruised by
the car starting while he was getting
off. Attached to the complaint is the
affidavit of Johnson that he was born
in Georgetown on Christmas day in the
year 1900 was hired out to General
Walter Smith, who comm anded the
militia at the battle of Bladensburg /;
was captured by Captain Patrick, and
was present and saw them burn the
Capitol, and when he was seventeen
years old he went with Commodore
Porter as a cabin boy on four years
cruise. In 1924 he went as footman
with his old mistress to meet General
Lafayette, and escorted him to Gen
eral Smiths in Georgetown; was with
General Macon in Florida during the
four years war with the Indians; had
waited on General Scott, Gaines and
Jessup; lived with General Totten,
and waited on Daniel Webster, Clay
and Calhoun when living with Mr..
Nicholson at Georgetown Heights.
Was with Captain Herndon on the
George Law, that was burned, and
when the women and children and
crew were off he stood close to Cap
tain Herndon at the wheelhouse, and
he said to him: ''You go and shift for
yourself, and he begged the captain
to come with him, when he replied ::
"No; must stand by my ship. Then
strapping himself to door he was
thrown into the sea and saved, and
saw the ship go down with the captain.
