The Sponge Animal.

If the sponge as brought up fresh

When fresh, it is a fleshy-looking sub

with a gelatinous substance called

Cavalry Horses.

Cavalry Horses.
A veteran cavalry horse partakes of
the hopes and fears of battle just the
same as his rider. AS the column
swings into line and waits, the horse
grows nervous over the waiting. If the
wait is spun out, he will tremble and
sweat and grow apprehensive. If he
has been six months in service he
knows every bugle call. AS the call
comes to advance, the rider can feel him
working at the bit with his tongue to
get it between his teeth. AS he moves
than he should, or bolt. He cannot
! bolt, however. The lines will carry
him forward, and after minute he will
grip, lay back his ears, and one can feel
and have done with it as soon as posi-
BILE. man seldom cries out when hit
! in the turmoil of battle. It is the same
| with a horse. Five troopers out of six,
when struck with bullet, are out of
their saddles within minute. If hit
| in the breast or shoulder, up go their
hands and they get a heavy fall; if in
J the leg, or foot, or arm, they fall for
| ward and roll off. Even with a foot
cut off by jagged piece of SHE'LL. a
horse will not drop. 1t is only when
shot through the head or heart that he
comes down. He may be fatally wound
/ ed, but hobbies out of the fight to right
or left, and stands with dropping head
until the loss of blood brings him down
The horse that loses his rider and is
unwounded himself, will continue to run
with his set of tours until some move
ment throws him out. Then he goes
galloping here and there, neighing with
alarm, but he will not leave the field
In his racing about he may get among
the dead and wounded, but he viii

Fruits for the Aged.

Psychologists claim that the growth
from infancy to old age is a gradual
process of Justification, and that the
stiffness of old age is caused by the de-
posits of calcareous matter or earthly
salts.
Popular science suggests, therefore.
that such foods as peas, beans and meat
increases the natural tendency to ossi-
fication, as they contain large proper
ton of these earthly salts.
For this reason a diet made up large
ly of fruit, which contains minimum
amount of this calcareous matter, is sci
entifically better adapted to persons in
advancing years.
Large eaters add to the liability OF
o.,sitc deposits from overworking the
eliminating organs by an excess of nu-
tritive MARTIAL, until their healthful ac-
tivity is destroyed and the whole sys-
tenn suffers in consequence.
Old age indicates less food and
maximum amount of fruit In the diet.

Food for an Invalid.

Any one who has ever had the re-
sponsibilty of caring for an invalid
realizes the finese frequently necessary
to get him to take the nourishment re-
quird. One is prejudiced against milk
and declares he cannot and will not
take it. For such an one an oyster tea
Is recommended, which may be made al
most entirely of milk, the oysters fur
nishing the flavors and salts, which is
about all it possesses anyway. For the
patient who rebels against the sight OF
beef tea unless overlooked, which
causes it to lose It's red color, or unless
strained. which takes away the brown
flakes. which. are the best part of the
broth, buy a red wine glass and give
him his beef tea in that.
Various custards can be made with
broth, especially chickens and beef
used with eggs instead of sugar. Salt

How Easy 1t Is.

How Easy 1T IL.
How easy it is to spoil day!
The thoughtless words of cherished
friend,
The selfish work of child at play,
The strength of will that will not
bend,
The slight of comrade, the scorn of
foe,
The smile that is full of bitter things
They all can tarnish it's golden glow,
And take the grace from it's airy wings.
How easy it is to spoil day
BY the force Of thought we did not
check!
Little by little we mold the clay,
And little flaws may the vessel wreck.
The careless waste of a white-winged
hour,
That held the blessing we long had
sought,
The sudden loss of wealth and power
And 10! the day is with i'll inwrought.
How easy it is to spoil life
And many are spoiled ere well begun
In home light darkened by sin and
strife,
| Or downward course of a cherished one,
BY toll that robs the form of its grace,
And undermines till health gives way;
BY the peevish temper, the frowning
| face,
The hopes that go and the cares that
stay.
| A day is too long to be spent in vain,
Some good should come as the hours
go by,
Some tangled maze may be made more
plain,
Some lowered glance may be raised on
high.
And life is too short to spoil like this
If only prelude, it may be sweet;
Let us bind together it's thread of bliss
And nourish the flowers around oul
feet.
