A Healthy Sick Man,

An English paper says that one of
William Morris tribulations at Oxford
was the task, equally hard in either
case, of evading or accepting the invi-
tations of Dr. Henry Acland whose in
timacy with Ruskin and appreciation
of the preraphaelite schccl led him to
offer constant hospitality to the young
painter.
Once, when they were to dine with
DR. Acland, Morris invented an illness
and sent his apologies by Burne-Jones,
Unfortunately Burne-Jones arrived
with this message when there still
wanted few minutes to dinner time.
Acland, who was all kindness, in
stantly, to Burne-Jones' infinite dis
may, put on his hat and went around
to see the sick man in his lodgings. He
was found, apparently in the best of
health and spirits, sitting at dinner
with Faulkner and playing cribbage
over the meal He had to confess recov-
cry and be led off to dinner.

TIL . Witch Influence.

That witch influence, says the Paris
correspondent of the London Daily Tele.
graph. IL not yet on the wane in SONG
parts of France Is proved by the horrible
case of desecration Of n grave reported
from Pouzanges, Ia La Vendee. One
Broehard, small farmer, took a shovel,
hammer and chiScl into cemetery, in
the place mentioned, the other night,
and dug up a coffin from week old
grave. Then he piled his hammer and
chisel on the casket, which contained the
corpse OF woman, broke ii open and
with a large clasp knife cut off some
flesh from the body. The noise attracted
the attention OF the caretoker of the
cemetery, who went to the spot and, be-
licving the grave opener to be a msdman
with whom 1t would be dangerous 10 in-
terfere single handed, went for the gen
Garmes. These, on approaching Brochar5,
had to beat a temporary retreat, as he
threatened them with his shovel but, re-
turning to the charge again, they over
powered the man and carried him away.
Broehard was found to be sane enough.
He defended his ghoullike doings in the
graveyard on the ground that a witch
had told him to get as a remedy for an
nbscess in the head which the doctors
could not cure some dead mans qui-
nine" This was to be obtained from
the head, heart and one of the fingers OF
a corpse. He accordingly started for the
cemetery, intending to get part Of the
body Of an old employer who was buried
at Pouzanges. Not being able TO find the
grave of his former master, he opened
that of the lately buried woman. Bro
chard is kept prisoner by the police, who
so far believe that he is thoroughly re-
sponsible for his action

why Do Cats Hissf

Why does a cat hiss when angry ?
Take tiny kitten at play and make it
angry, and it will snarl in its baby fash
ion and hiss as best it can. Why9
Dr.. Louis Robinson says that the
Kissing and splitting of young kittens is
probably an instructive attempt to scare
away enemies f. ON the helpless tots by
initiating a snake hiss.
A great many creatures that live in
shallow holes have a like habit of hiss
ing when annoyed or angered. The tail
of a cat seen dimly in the half light Of
cave suggests snake tail and is
often marked in a way to heighten the
resemblance.
"If, says Dr. Robinson, this real

guarded against was the eagle, Eagles
