At Heathteld, in England, is Il farm
on which still stand the remains of
an old stone house that is said once 10
have been the home of the notorious
Jack Cade. Whether or not Cade ever
lived there can never be accurately de
termined, but there is no disputing the
fact that he was killed in that neigh
borhood. On the main road, not far from
the ruins of the house, stands u mon
ument with this inscription: Near this
spot was slain the notorious rebel Jack
Cade by Alexander Iden, Esq, sheriff
Of Kent, A. D. 1850. His body was
carried to London and his head fixed
upon London bridge. This is the sue
cess of all rebels, and this fortune

If single beds were more numerous
than they are. a great many people
would he better off. When one is
tired, sick, cross, restless, out of sorts,
he or she ought to sleep alone and not
communicate by proximity the NAL
aides that affect him. The brute crea-
lures when sick go away by them
selves til they die or get over their
troubles, and this instinct n great
mnny human beings have. Those that
have it are best if INDUCED in it, not

The master of n Glasgow school was
presiding over the reading lesson when
the child, whose turn it was 10 read.
came across the word ''hireling."
"What is II 'hireling?'" asked the
teacher.
The boy thought for a momen or
two and then replied, II don't know"
The question was mex propounded 10
the entire class, with u like result.
The master then explained the mean
ing OF the word as lucidly as he could
and at the conclusion of his explana-
ton repeated the question.
"Please, sir" replied the boy ad-
dressed, you're a hireling; you're paid
to teach us.''-Scottish American.

A London physician of large practice
asserts that owing to his extremely
sensitive sense of smell he can foretell
the coming Of death forty-eight hours.
He says that when II patient comes
within two days of death II peculiar
earthly smell is emitted from the body.
When the fatal disease is slow in its
progress, the DIOR makes its appear
ance as much as three days before
hand, but when the disease is of the
galloping kind the doctor says he re-
ceives much shorter warning. He at
tributes the smell TO modification,
which begins within the body before
life is extinct.
Dogs are thought to have this sense,
for hunting hounds have been observed
to begin u mournful bayinE II day or
two before their masters died.

MAN-o'-WAR HAWKS.
F~eathered Highwnymen That Do
their Fishing In the Air.


The man-o.war hawk is a somewhat
large bird and an expert fisher, but he
does most of his fishing in the air.
When the BOBBY bird comes home from
abroad, he finds the man-o'-wir hawk
'layin' for him. and, however persist
emily he may seek to escape by dashtng
flight, with much screechlng n
screaming, he finds that before he can
safely set foot on the land he must dis
gorge a fish or two, which the swift
pursuer adroitIy catches in the air. 1t
seems, however. to be generally un-
derstood as n modus vivendi between
the fisher and the pirate birds that
their contentious were only on the
wing and that once on land they
should dwell peacefully in their scpa-
rate camping grounds.
The boobies are awkward and I'M
wieldy on land and may be easily cap
tured. They rarely seek to escape when
a man approaches; but. accustomed to
meet the demands Of their familiar en-
envy, the m~an-o,war hawk, by disgorg-
Ing a fish In the air. they frequently re-
sort to the same process and lay ut the
feet of the intruding stranger what
stock of fish they have available. The
man-o.war hawks turned this practice
to their own advantage by following
after any man who might appear
among the nesting birds, clrcllng in the
air just overhead. ready to pick up the
fish which the frightened boobies
might give mp as a peace Offering. The
man-o,war hawks were generally ga
ger for anything and would hover
closely. ready to take from the hand Of
a man whatever he might toss In the
air. On one occasion one of these birds
swiftly snatched a notebook which lay
for a moment on the ground and sailed
away. dropping 1t, however, on finding

people should know and value bet
ter cheese as food" said Il physician
the other day in discussing the diet
question. lit is true that freshly made
domestic cheese is hard to digest. but
nothing is so easily digcsted as any
of the imported cheeses and nothing
is more nutritious. Weight for weight
Roquefort, BrIe, Camembert and Swiss
cheeses are more nutritious than the
best beef or steak. They are more
easily digcsted, and they give the same
sort of nourishment that is derived
from fresh meat. so that in the time of
a meat famine the well cured and well
aged imported cheeses are the best sub
stitute that can be found for beef, and,
as consumed, the best Of cheese is
cheaper. y twenty-five cent Brie
cheese. for instance, will feed more
persons and nourish them better than u
dollars worth of beef. Two ounces of
these cheeses have the same food value
as a pound of the best prime beef"

The Sea pen.

I think Of all wonderful things
the sea pen is one of the most
unique. Once it was thought that
the sea pen foated about in the wa
ter, but such is not the case. When
the Irish fisherman hauls up his
nets, he finds the sea pen very often
sticking to them. He called it the
wonderful stick"
Each separate plume of the sea
pen is alive. Some people have call
ed it a street because it is row Of
cells or houses for the polyps to live
in. In these rows Of houses the
polyps live by hundreds and eat
away, as usual. What one polyp
eats helps to nourish the rest. Yet
each poiyp is quite independent of
its neighbor and pushes out his head
and draws it in Just as he pleases.
A sea pen does not seem to have
any power of turning itself over.
When it has been placed in vessel
of water, it has always remained
still. So students have come to the
conclusion that it lives with its stern
buried in the mud at the bottom Of
the sea. It is very beautiful and
contains great quantity OF phos-
porus, which it throws out when an
enemy comes near. It is curious, is
it not, that even this form of life,
which seems as inanimate as YER
liable stick, should display iEtelli
gent action when in danger? The
giving out of its blue phosphorus
light is apparently its only mode Of
frightening away an intruder.
