They Are Apt to Run, But the Owners ... Don't Tell the Experience.
 [From the Courier-J -Journal.]
 People will never tire listening to war stories," said a veteran the other day, but you never hear any of them telling of their running experiences. It is not because they never run. for all of us have been through that school. No man ever went into battle but what he was glad when it was over. The legs of the bravest get very weak in the presence of shot and shell, and bravery, after all, is only a matter of honor; the man without honor is coward. The honora ble man has nothing to fear, and in battle he would suffer ten thousand deaths rather than have a comrade say he failed to do his whole duty. But

Is habit which should be inculoated in
the very earliest years. The child with an
allowance for its pleasures, be it ever so
small should never be suffered to exceed

should be taught To undergo self denial
rather than to borrow the money TO obtain

pendence i'm this lesson than in hundreds
of shouts or boasts Of liberty which too Of
ten only convey the idea Of casting of
duty and obligation. Such instruction,
however, will be useless while example
points the other way. The father and

incur debt for the pleasures Of the table,

down into cornfield over in Swansea.

How Rats and Cats Adapt Themselves
TO the Dversities OF Climate. .

The adaptability OF rats and cats to
all diversities OF climate IL exemplified
by their presence and activity in the
cold storagos warehouses in this city,
where the temperature Is never above
80 degrees. Strangely enough their ac-
cimation has been attended by marked
changes in their appearance. The first
rats which attempted to earn their sub
sistence in one OF these warehouses were
unable to stand the exposure and died.
However an unusually hard colony
struck IL, and their progeny are now pro-
vided with wonderfully long and
thick hair, and developed into
fat old rascals, and the cats
which were introduced to thin their
ranks have also been specially equipped
through natures bounty. The cats have
developed very close, thick fur, and their
whiskers have grown to a length of six
inches, probably because the darkness
makes the use Of their feelers much more
inlDortant.
