Saint Norah and the Potato,

st. Norah was a poor girl, says the
London Punch, who prayed st. Patrick
for a good gift that would make her not
proud but useful, and st. Patrick, out
of his w head, taught her how to boil
a potato. A sad thing and to be lament
ed, that the secret has come down to so
fewl Since the highest intellectual and
physical life is dependent upon diet
since the cook makes, while the physi.
clan only mends-should not she who
prepares our pies be as carefully trained
as he who makes our pills?
Certainly whatever may be the
knowledge or the ignorance of the serv-
ant in the kitchen, the mistress of the
house, be she young Or old, ought to be
able, like st. Patrick in the fable, out of
her own instructed head to teach Norah
how to boil a potato or broil a steak SO
that they may yield their utmost Of rel
ish and nutriment.
Until she can do that, no woman is
qualified to preside over q household,
and since few reach adult life without
being called to that position in the
household of husband, father or broth
or, the legend OF st. Norah has q wide
significance. Youths Companion.

straight democratic votes.
The silver republican vote, never hay.

Sport as a Developer of Character.

Every now and then there crops out
In this republic the notion that if our
more cultured citizens were our rulers
that we should be much better off. We
very much doubt it. II our more man
ly citizens could rule us, then no doubt
we should be better off. But there is a
freakiness and finicalness, an inability
to give and take, a general rubbing and
creaking Of machinery among men de.
veloped only on the one side of the
mind, which always everywhere makes
them Objectionable as rulers. Boxing
Is just as likely to make a man meek
as books, but if you have a bully to deal
with neither the boxing nor the books
will avail anything, and he becomes al
most moro Objectionable as an editor
than as q prizefghter. OF course sport
will fail, just as every other agency
will fail, with certain men. On the
other hand, for the great majority of
men, we'll conducted sport will teach
them fortitude. g~entleness, meekness
and fair play as no other agency yet in
vented by ma can do.-Outing.

In japanese marriages arranged be-

tkins and cheeks that are soft like the
side of the peach which is turned to the
tipening sun, and in their dark, lus-
trous eyes you read as plain as print the
story of the sorrows and the joys Of a
thousand years of living.
Now they dance about with the grace
of hours, the abandon of manads or Of
hymphs before Actson peeped, and
how, when the dance is over, the mo-
ment of madness past, they cover their
feet with shawls, that you may not see
how dainty they are, and withdraw Sc.

and sit for hours under the banana trees,
grooming softly some mournful cuplet in
the crooked gypsy tongue.

The cockatoos constitute a branch Of

exception of the species which inhabits
the Philippine islands, are peculiar TO
the Australasian region.
Leadbeater's cockatoo IL one of the

rage parrots, describes it aptly as ''rssp-

less popular as a pet than species with
more intelligence than good looks. One
point in his favor must be mentioned
he is a less determined than
the majority of cockatoos. This. how
ever, is no saying much. In his native
woods of South Australia L~eadbeater's
cockatoo is very shy and difficult to APP
proach. The birds sent to Europe, no
doubt taken as nestlings in the MAORI
ty of instances, remain usually wild
and suspicious, though they bear con
inement we'll and do not suffer from
the cold.
At home in Australia the cockatoo is
not beloved of the farmer, and it can
be well imagined that a flock of these
big birds, amounting often to thousands,
commit fearful havoc upon the crops.
Hence it is shot down as remorselessly
as the sparrow in England when it
grows too numerous to be acceptable to
the agriculturist. Like the rest of the
genus, this cockatoo usually makes It's
nest in a hollow tree, where the hen
lays two pure white eggs.-St. Louis
