There is a tender sweetness about
some of our common phrases of affec-
tionate greeting, simple and unobtru-
sive as they are, which falls like dew
upon the heart. ''Good night" the lit
tie one lisps as, gowned in white, with
shining face and hands, and prayers
said, she toddles off to bed. Sisters and
brothers exchange the wish, parents
and children, friends and friends. Ia
miliar use has robbed it Of its signifi-
canoe to some Of us; we repeat it auto
matically, without much thought But
consider. We are as voyagers, putting
off from time to time upon an mex
plored sea. Our banks of life set sail
and 90 onward into the darkness, and
we, asleep on our pillows, take no such
care as we do when awake and journey
ing by daylight. OF the perils of the
night, whatever they may be, we take
no heed. An unsleeping vigilance OF
ono stronger aud wiser than we, who Is
the eternal good Good and God spring
from the Same root, and are the same
in meaning. "Goodby" is only :" God
he with Won. - "Good night is really
"God night, or God guard the
night. " 1t would be a churlish house
\ hold in which these gentle forms Of
sueecb were ignored or did not exist
Alike, the happy and the sorrowiul
day by day, may say "Good night -

There IL nothing more to be said against
the use OF fish for food than the use OF any
other kind of animal food and since fish

vg,sb to warn our readers against two
Kinds Of cruelty which are only too COM
monty practicee among fishermen.
Live bait ought never 60 be used 10
take a living minnow, to thrust nook
through its back and then to jerk 1t % or
80 feet through the air in order that 1t
may wriggle in agony at the end of the
line until 1t attracts some other fish 70
swallow It is about as wanton piece OF
cruelty as any ons oOuld invent. There IS
nothing sportsmanlika Ia fishing Of that
sort. The skillful fisherman will use ny
or some other device by which the fish he
wishes to capture may be deceived and
caught. The live minnow Is the bait Of
the blunderer, not Of this expert.
Even experienced fishermen sometimes
commit another sort of cruelty which
onght never TO be practlced. They think
that their fish must DO kept alive rs long
as possible, and therefore run a string

TRAINED CATS.

Taaeht Them to DO.
A Snowman ia England, Clarke by
name. has succeeded in training large
nnmber Of cats to perform remarkable
TRICKS. One of these is to walk over
long line Of living rats, mice and ca
naries. stepping very carefully between
the auttering little bodies Of birds and
moe and harming none of them. An
other cat climbs by a rope to the roof
saizes the handle of a parachute and de-
scends by it to the ground from con-
siderable height
Mr.. Clarke repeats what IS wen
lnown--that the cat is the most dlfhcnle
Of animals to train to the performance
~ tricks. He has trained bears, lions,
Ieopards, tigers and other wild animals
and ands them teachable and submissive
vben compared with cats. The cat IN
daed can never be so far conquered that
her performances may be depended on.
