It Is the Place Occupied by the Protector

 'It is common enough. said Mir. Gratebar Ito sec a man sitting i'll tho aislc end of pew in church get up on the arrival of some other member of the family. step out into tho aisle to let tho late conner in, and then resume his seat at the end of the pew. It seems to me that have read that this custom Origi- mated in New England in tho early days, when the men all sat by the aisle so that they could seize their guns and get out promptly in case of attack by Indians. Wo don't have much to fear from Indians nowadays. but the seat by the aisle is still occupied by the head of the family He stands ill tho aisle while the others pass in. and then calmly takes his place in the end seat. at the head of the line, as Q sort of general protector.

Salt For Insanity.

A physician, in treating an insane pa tient, found it admirable to make use of subcutaneous injections of salt. The pa tient bad obstinately refused all nour- ishment, and the salt was given as an experiment in nutrition, this treatment having been made use of some timepre viously. To tho doctors surprise, some of the worst symptoms of insanity dis appeared. Further trials convinced the faculty of the value of this discovery, and, according to all indications, there is in this course the germ of n discovery that will entirely revolutioni2e the treatment of the insane. We are told that the human body consists of about . dozen elements. When these are present in too great quantity or arc lacking, we are i'll. Thu great ars is to decide just what slanant needs regulating. Wher this Is done, We are restored to health. New York Ledger.

He went to Waba- sha, thu chief, and said: "WabaSha, you asked me for a missionary and toacher. gave them to you. visit you, and tho first sight is this brutal scalp dance.

 The old chief smiled, drew his pipe from

 Tho Coldest storms of winter do not trouble them." ho says, flor their thick, <laggy coats are windproof. they climb tho hills, and turning their breasts to the wind defy the storm.

 'No have cXperimentod in crossing buffalo with all breeds of cattle, and the results are most satisfactory. The Polled Angus stock when crossed with the buffalo produces magnificent ani. | nal. The fur is finer and closer than that of tho buffalo. and tho meat is sweet and wholesome. We are produc, ing as many of these animals as possi ble, but will not put any on tho market for several years yet. Wo are not selling any buffalo either. for tho reason that wo need them all at present.

GRANDMOTHER.

She Does No: Keep Pace With tho Ad-
 VancC of Medical Science.
 Wo all know just what adorable crea- lures all Grandmothers are, and how they cannot do enough for the little ones belonging to their sons and daugh- ters. Now, without wishing to appear ungratCful for these attentions, there are some mothers who think themselves quite capable of caring for their own babies, and the continual and persistent contrary opinion of grandma becomes after time vexatious rather than help ful.
 Even though grandma has brought up a dozen children, and this is her daugh- tcr's very first experience ill that line, it is just as we'll not to give overliberal doses Of advice, nor is it good policy to empty out the medicine the doctor pre- Scribes for baby's cough and substitute sirup of sQuillS, because sirup of sQuills was all that tho youngsters of another generation were dosed with.
 The latter medicine may be regarded by grandma as the most perfect cough remedy i'll existence, but the prescribed NIbklS UT HtlICNS IllstN LC HN4bG as CAASNl- i've, and it is but natural that the young mother and tho physician in charge should feel bit annoyed at the assumption of superior knowledge, how ever we'll founded it may be.
 Babies need as varied treatment as plants do. What may havo answered splendidly for grandma's dozen might provo quito the reverse of beneficial for tho fin do sieclo youngstcr. and even though a baby is a novelty to tho young mother nature will be her best teacher as to its wants and cares. Grandma must remember that she had to be initi- atGl i'll her superior baby training be- fore she could pose as an oracle, and womb Sbe havo been pleased to have had her authority wrcnChcd from her hy wiser somebody who scorned her methods and ridiculed her lack of wis dom?
 When tho young mother asks for ad- vice, it is time enough to give it to her. She k certain to do so and will appre- ciato most kindly the valuable hints the more cAprri, need mother can give her, but h,r fry ylinSs will bo quito tho re verse if advice iS thrust upon her and the carc of her own precious baby taken pcrcmVtorily out of her hands.

They Come Up Readily to Take Live Min
 nows From the Attendants Hand.
 Tho blackfish in nature is shy, but in captivity, with kindness, it is easily tanned In one of the pools of the city's aquarium at Castle Garden there are a number of blackfish, including some 15 inches long and weighing two pounds, that will take food, live killies, or min nows, from the hand. The killie is held just under the top of tho water and the blackfsh comes up and takes it, somo moving a little warily as though inves- tigatinS first SO as to make sure that it was all right, and others coming up with confidence, taking tho fish from the fingers and swallowing 1t with smack.
 Sometimes q minnow escapes from the fingers or from the fish that is try ing to take 1t and darts away for safety, with two or three blaokfish, sometimes more, after it. The little minnow sticks close to the edge of the pool and to the surface of the water. It Is thus protect ed on one side by the wall of the pool, and at the surface 1t can swim faster than its pursuers, and being so much | smaller 1t can turn much quicker than the blackfish. It may go half the length of tho pool. hugging tho wall, and then dart across the pool at right angles, with the big blackflsh still after it. Sc l long as the minnow keeps to tho top il is safe, but if it goes to the bottom the chances are greatly against it. In deep CT water the bigger fish can do better than the smaller fish.
 weakfish sometimes become very lame in captivity. One has been knowr to lift its head four inches out of watel to seize live killie held in the hand New York Sun.

Smoked Cigarettes Thirty Years.

People talk about cigarettes being unhcalthful, but the fact that l am still alive is proof 10 tho contrary" said a middle aged man. II began smoking them 30 years ago. before they were made in this part of tho country and when few were imported. It is far cry to the time when thero were no Ameri- can cigarettes, and l feel old when look back to it. ought to add that l have never inhaled the smoke of Ciga- rrttrS, which perhaps accounts for their not killing ne long ago. may also add, in strict confidence, that the reason have smoked cigarettes is that cigars and pipes mako mo sick.
