orer-FeedIng of Infants.

The great principle at the bottom Of
all successful feeding, viz: That an
infant is nourished in proportion to his
power Of digesting the food with
which he is supplied and not in pro-
portion to the quantity Of nutritious
material he may be induced to swal-
low, is so obviously true that an apollo
gy might seem to be required for
stating so self-evident a fact; but exs
perience shows that this simple truth
Is one which in practice Is constantly
lost sight Of. That the infant thriyes
best who is most largely fed Is an arti.
Gle of faith 80 firmly settled in the
minds of most persons that it is very
difficult to persuade them to the con,
trary. To them, wasting in an infant
suggests the need Of larger supply Of
food; every cry means hunger, and
must be quieted with additional food.

A Nervous Horse.

Not hong ago a noble horse, named
Poindexter, was taken ill in Boston.
The animals nerves were keyed up
to n high pitch of excitement, and he
could not be induced to lie down and
go to sleep.
The veterinarians were in despair,
when Poindexter's groom went into
the stall and lay down. The horse
seemed soothed by his presence. BY
degrees he grew calmer, and finally
lying down, laid his delicate head on
the mans shoulder and went to sleep
The nervousness and apprehension
of the horse seemed very human. Pos
sibly he was afraid of death, afraid
that the end might come when he
slept, and wished to remain on his
feet. Who knows? Certain it Is that
for three nights the horse slept quietly
by his friend, and thus alone passed
safely through the critical stage of his
disease.-Our Dumb Animals.

Suicide Catcher of Express Train.

1t has become a fad recently in Italy
among persons who desire to commit
suicide TO jump in front Of express
trains. Three weeks ago the engineer
and the passengers Of the Genoa-Rome
express were really veXed because in a
short run Of eight hours four persons
used the train in this way to end their
lives, regardless Of the delay which
they were causing by their selfish
thoughlessness.
Moral suaslon appearing inadequate
to the task of turning these self-mur-
derers from the fatal error of their
ways the railroad authorities have
adopted a special suicide catcher. 1t
is placed in front of the locomotive
like the American cowcatcher, and 1t
scoops up the person who tries to use
the engine for his own unpleasant pur-
poses. Having scooped him up, it de-
posits him on a little platform, where
he gets a free trip to the nearest sta
tior, while the engineer and the fire
man enliyen the journey by making
deeply felt remarks to him.-New York

THE BEST OF LIFE.

Not til life's heat is cooled,
The headlong rush slowed to q quiet pace,
And ry purblind passion that has
ruled
Our noiser years at last
Spurs us in vain, and, weary of the race,
We care no more who loses or who wins
Ali not till all the best of life seems mast
The best of life begins.
To toll for only fame,
Handclappings and the tickle gusts Of
praise,
For place or power or gold to gild a
name
Above the grave whereto
All paths will bring us, were to lose oGr
days
We, on whose ears youths passing bell has
tolled-
In blowing bubbles, even as children do,
Forgetting we grow old.
But the world widens when
Such hopes OF trivial gain that ruled us
Broken among our childhood's toys; for
then
We win to selfcontrol!
And mail ourselves to manhood and there
rise
Upon us from the vast and MINDLESS height
Those clearer thoughts that are unto the
soul
What stars are to the night.

NO MORE Eoo GAMBLERS.
They Are Egg Testers Now and They
Have Formed a Union.


Have Formed a Union.
Egg inspectors are organized in Chi
cago, and members of the local union
are seeking to effect a national organi-
cation.
The men engaged in this business
were formerly termed gamblers. a name
given them on account of using a cam
die to ascertain the condition Of the
egg but the abandonment of that glim-
mering light and the application Of
modern appliances has made the name
not altogether applicable, and that Of
egg inspector has been adopted as more
appropriate.
Thousands OF dozens Of eggs are in
spected in Chicago daily, and a recent
visit to the warehouses Of South Water
street merchants disclosed nearly two
hundred men separating the stale from
the fresh article The inspector oper-
ates in total darkness, and is able to
ascertain the condition of the egg by
the aid of an electric light, the globe
of which is almost incased in tin, so
that only a small ray of light shines
on the egg being tested. He must work
with lightninglke rapidity, in order
to inspect the large number of eggs
regarded as a fair days turnout, and
the casual observer as they pass rapid
ly before the light and disappear as if
by the aid of a conjurer's hand, be-
comes apprehensive Of an accident that
may change the color of the inspectors
clothing to that hue not appreciated
by public performers who sometimes
appear before unappreciative audi
ences.
Accidents rarely occur, however, and
so expert do the workmen become that
thousands of eggs will pass through
their hands without a shell being
cracked. The union has already a
membership of las. and bids fair to
embrace every inspector in Chicago in
a short time. The men command fair
wages, and the organization is said to
be an advantage to the merchants,
many of whom do not keep more than
one inspector steadily engaged, but
who. when large assignments are re-
ceived, require the services of extra
help, which can be readily furnished by
the business agent of the union, who is
generally to be found in the neighbor-
hood looking after the interests Of his
constituents.
At present the merchants and the
members Of the union are on the best
of terms. but should misunderstand-
Ing arise in the future dire indeed will
be the calamity that will fall on strike
ridden Chicago, and if, perchance, the
inspectors should go on strike, the
homes of it's citizens will be threatened
with an invasion of eggs not altogether
pleasing g-Chicago Daily News.

awed her
"Will you treat Mabel, too?" she
asked.
1T won't be necessary" said Aunt
Frances, gravely, III you take the tab.
let's as prescribe. And, if were you
I wouldn't tell anybody l was being
treated"
The next morning Molly started fol
school with a temper tablet neatly
wrapped in tin-foil in her small pocket.
That day passed peacefully. So did
several others; and Molly had all but
forgotten that she was being treated
when, suddenly, one Saturday after.
noon, she felt a quarrel coming on
Mabel had made a dress for her doll
Molly didn't think it fitted very we'll
and said so. Mabel answered tartly
that she guessed Molly couldn't do az
well; and Molly had just opened hel
mouth to say something peppery when
she remembered the temper tablets.
Hastily laying her beloved Flori.
monda Isabelle face down on the floor.
she ran out of the room. The temper
tablet was at the very bottom Of her
pocket; but she picked it out, un-
wrapped the tin-fol and popped it into
her mouth. The rosy bit of sweetness
tasted very nice, and she went back
to her doll feeling better already.
Thought you'd gone home mad" re-
marked Mabel, with her small nose in
the air.
Never a word from Molly.
81 didn't care if you had" added
Mabel with a sniff.
Molly rolled the temper tablet under
her tongue, but answered nothing at
all.
well, you needn't talk if you don't
want to-" snapped Mabel; and she gave
her entire attention to putting the new
dress upon its owner, Evelyn Kathryn
olivia
Little by little the temper tablet dis
solved in Molly's mouth; and, strange
to say, her anger melted with it. 1t
was worn to wafer thinness; and Molly
was wondering just what she should
say when the treatment" was over,
when she heard faint sound of music
far down the street.
"Oh, Mabel" she cried, eXcltedly
there's q grind-organ; and maybe
there's a monkey! Let's go and see!"
"Oh, let's" answered Mabel, jump
ing up eagerly; and moment later
Florimonda Isabelle and Evelyn Kath-
ryn olivia were left to be company for
each other, while their respective
mothers raced hand in hand down the
street in search of the probable grind
organ" and the possible monkey.
That night Molly told Aunt Frances
the whole story, and that young lady
listened with genuine professional
pleasure. Her first case was doing re-
markably we'll, she said; and the pa
tient was advised to continue the use
of the invaluable temper tablets in all
similar emergencies. Molly followed
the prescription faithfully and before
spring both she and Mabel were COM
pletely cured
After a while Molly discovered the
reason why the temper tablets had
such a soothing effect in the first
stages of a quarrel. 1 wonder if you
have guessed it, too?-New York
