Resting the MuacIes.

When man is tired, he stretches his
arms and legs and yawns. Birds and
animals, so far as possible, follow his
example.
Birds spread their feathers and also
yawn, or cape. Fowls often do this.
Fish yawn; they open their mouths
slowly until they are round, the bones
of the head seem to loosen, and the
Gills open.
Dogs are inveterate yawners and
stretchers. but seldom sneeZe unless
they have n cold. Cats are always
stretching their bodies, legs and claws.
as every one knows who has a cat for
a pet
Horses stretch violently when and
after indulging in a roll, but not, as a
rule, OH all fourS.
y stag when stretching sticks out his
head, stretches his fore feet out and
hollows his back and neck as though
trying to creep under a bar.
Most ruminant animals stretch when
they rise up after lying down. Deer
10 ii regularly; so do cows. This fact
is so well known that if Il COW. when
arising from lying down. does not
stretch herself it is sign she is i'll.
The reason for this is plain-the
stretch moves every muscle of the
body. and if there be any injury any
where it hurts.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

ST. LOUIS TO GO TO LAW.
Grounds Upon Which She Will Try to
Close the Drainage Channel.

jefferson City. Mo. Jan. 6.-Attor-
ncy General Crow is preparing to in
stitute proceedings in the supreme
court of the United States to stop the
people of Chicago from the alleged
pOlluting of the waters of the Missis-
sippf river by means of the sewage Of
the Chicago canal. In stating the
grounds upon which he will proceed
Crow said in part:
The state has direct interest: first.
because the health of the citizens of
the great city of ST. Louis is directly
menaced: second. because thousands of
our citizens. outside of ST. Louis. live
upon the banks of this largest of in
land rivers and are forced to Use its
waters. Injury to the purity or quail
~ of the water of Il flowing stream. to
the detriment of riparian owners. con
stituteS nuisance. as much as per-
manent obstruction.
Our state has jurisdiction of the
water of the Mississippi river to the
middle of the main channel; and hence.
in my opinion. it is within the power of
the state of Missouri to protect these
waters from pollution in order to pre-
serve the health of our citizens. Th"
protection of the health of citizens of Il
state is perhaps one Of the highest
duties of the state government" He
will apply to the United States Su-
preme court for an Injunction.

BUSINESS WORLD QUIET.

No Decided Forward or Backward Move

says: The business world has ma rked

annual stock takings and the passing
away of the holiday influences which
usually make for quietness at this
period. Aside from the strengthening
of values of a number of staples. such
as the cereals. provisions and cotton,
which are Speculatiyely dealt in. there
has been no decided movement for
ward; but on the other hand the
strength of all other staple values
point to there having been no back
ward steps taken. Perhaps the most
notable movement among leading
staples is that developed in hogs and
hog products, better realizati ton ap-
parcntly being had of the features
making for strength in those products.
Notable among these is the reduction
in the supply of hogs. which like tn.
similar falling off in the number of
cattle has gone on for number of
years past.
In iron and steel quiet strength has
a. for many weeks past been the
notable feature. y rather more az
