His Particular Want.

In a certain Sunday school the sub
ject of the lesson was the condition OF
man in Eden. On large leaf sus-
pended in the room were named GER
tain gifts with which God had blessed
man. Among these was mentioned the
giving of a wife. The pastor in some
remarks to the children tried to show
that man needed company.
"If," said he, 'you had a dog at
home or a playful kitten or beautiful
song bird, would that be all you would
WantT'
They agreed that it would not.
"What more would you wantW he
asked, expecting that they would an
swer father, mother, brothers or sis
tiers. After pause little fellow
about three years old, with thin, soft
voice, spoke up:
"a wife"
The school broke into laughter, the
pastor maintained his gravity with
difficulty, and the superintendent dis
appeared to vent his feelings where he
would not be obseryed.-New York

Single Beds For Real Rest.

If single beds were more numerous
than they are, great many people
would be 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 till they die or get over their
troubles, and this instinct great
many human beings have. Those that
have it are best if INDUCED in it, not
to the slightest degree of neglect, how
ever. Where two children in family
must share the same room In a great
many cases they would be better off to
have two single beds rather than one
wide double bed. We can share a
great many things with those we love,
but solitude clings to us from birth to
death. We come into the world alone;
we must go out of it alone, and we
live in it alone, in certain important
sense, and to get and keep our "bear-
ings" we must sometimes be left alone.
1t is good that we should be.-Family

The SnOwdrift.

When night dropped down. the fields were
dark and dun;
Storm sprites were out; we heard the
north wind blow;
Then when arose the slowly waning sun,
Morning came mantled In a robe Of
snow.
White grew the landscape; every field and
knoll
Shone forth TRANSPORTED by the snow
storms spell;
The trees and fences stood in motley droll
Half dark, half whitened by this mira
Gle.
But where the stone wall held its Parian
weight

We saw a sculpture man could not create.
Smoothed off and chiseled by some touch

Pure as the stars that sentinel the sky,
What art could improvise and fashion so
Unless some godlike power sped pro-
creant by!

Lift UP beauty to the day and sun.
Amidst the silver of the tinseled trees
That never Phidias or Canova won.

Not the Example He Expected.

The master of Il Glasgow school was
presiding over the reading lesson when
tue child, whose turn it was to read,
came across the word "hireling."
"What is 'hirelingY" asked the
teacher.
The boy thought for a moment or
two and then replied, Il don't know"
The question was next propounded to
the entire class, with 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.

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 patient comes
within two days of death a peculiar
earthly smell is emitted from the body.
When the fatal disease is slow in its
progress, the odor 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 mournful baying a day or
two before their masters died.

Iack Cade,s Monument.

At Heathfeld, in England, is a farm
on which still stand the remains Of
an old stone house that is said once to
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 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

RIGHTS OF NAVAJO WOMAN
She Alone of All Indian Squnws En-
Joys Independence.


joys independence.
The Navajo woman, who has made
her tribe the most famous of all liy-
ing Indian races by means Of her great
and excellenT invention, the Navajo
blanket, occupies a social position Of
great independence. Her property
rights are carefully respected. She
owns much of the wealth of the tribe,
and her children belong to her alone.
A woman may have hundreds Of sheep
when she marries, and not one be-
comes the property of her husband.
Descent is traced through the female
line. 1t is a survival of the primitive
matriarchate.
The Navajo woman has no perma-
nent home. The progress Of the tribe
has been greatly impeded by its dark
superstition that every death is caused
by Chinde the devil, and that evil
spirits linger about the dead body. The
house is never occupied again. The
corpse Is buried in the floor and the
house pulled down over it, and Ma
vajo would freeze before he would
make a fire upon the logs of one of
these deserted heaps. So the Navajo
"hogan" is poor, temporary affair,
mere circular hut of logs and stones,
with a hole in the roof for the smoke
and q blanket for the door. In the
summer the Navajo woman loves to
move into brush wickiup, made of
greasewood boughs. There she sets up
her loom in the shadow of the rocks
and lives in the open air all summer

MAN-O'-WAR HAWKS.
Tenthered Highwnymen That Do
Their Fishing In the Air.

Their Fishing In the Air.
The man-o'-war hawk Is somewhat
large bird and an expert fisher, but he
does most CT his fishing in the air.
When the bocby bird comes home from
abroad, he finds the man-o' war hawk
"layln' for him." and, however persist
entity he may seek TO escape by dashing
fight, with much screeching and
screaming, he finds that before he can
safely set foot OH the land he must dis
gorge a fish or two, which the swift
pursuer adroitly catches in the air. 1t
seems, however, to be generally I'M
derstood as a 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 sepa-
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
man approaches; but, accustomed to
meet the demands of their familiar en-
ing a fish in the air, they frequently re-
sort to the same process and lay at 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, circling in the
air Just overhead ready to pick up the
fish which the frightened boobies
might give up as peace offering The
man-o-war hawks were generally ca
ger for anything and would hover
closely ready to take from the hand or
q 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 it, however, on finding
1t to be neither fish nor rat.-Century

Cheese ms Food.

"People should know and value bet
ter cheese as food" said physician
the other day in discussing the diet
question. ut is true that freshly made
domestic cheese Is hard to digest, but
nothing is so easily digested 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 digested, 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. A twenty-five cent Brie
cheese. for instance, will feed more
persons and nourish them better than a
dollars worth of beef. Two ounces OF
these cheeses have the same food value
as pound of the best prime beef

There is a legend to the effect that
long ago a man named Ramsay Of
Banff, Scotland, having boiled down
white snake and accidentally swal-

which he had been warned as poison

power of seeing through the people he
met. This unusual opportunity for
diagnosis established his reputation
