PASSION AND THE HEALTH.
some Emotions Tend to Prolong Life
; While Others Have the
Opposite Eject.

1.-THE passions effect on the health
is not sufficiently regarded said a
physician, according to the Philadel-
Phia Record. "The passion which is
best for the health is avarice. It
keeps one cool, encourages regular
and industrious habits, leads to ab-
stemiousness and makes against all
excess. And hence the avaricious,
the misers, live to great age. The
misers of history were all noted for
their longevity. Rage is very bad for
one. This passion causes an irregu-
lar, intermittent beating of the heart
and the intermittency in time may
become chronic. Hatred creates
fever. If we hate we grow lean.
This hot passion eats us like "a flame.
Fear is bad for the nerves, the heart
and the brain, and, therefore, we
should never permit ourselves to be
afraid. But the strangest effects Of
all have been caused by the passion
of grief. The medical books record
cases where, coming suddenly, in a
violent shock, it has caused a loss of
blood from the lungs in one person,
paralysis of the tongue in another
and failure of sight or temporary
blindness in a third"

FELINE FRIEND OF coNvIcTs.
Big Gray Cat Is the Pet Of Prisoners
In the Michigan City (Ind.)
Penitentiary.

The pet of the prisoners at the In
diana state prison at Michigan City
is a gray cat, said to be the largest
animal of the kind in the state. It
weighs az pounds, is nine years old
and has been inside the big walls
since it was a kitten. All over the
big institution it is known as Tige,
says a local report.
Warden Reid, who values the an
imal very highly, says that <Tige has
a queer fondness for the prisoners,
one of whom claims to be it's master
and from whom it receives all kinds
of attention. The cat makes up with
a very few Of the officers, allows no
familiarities on the part of strangers
or visitors, but in every case ex-
poets the caress of the prisoner and
gets. it. @f 49,
In Its early days it was the cats
custom to visit the .cellhonse. and to
make friendly calls along the ranges,
rubbing it's fur at each grated door
and singing it's little: song as if it
wished to purr out it's sympa thy for
; the confined. But there came a time
when its place was usurped by an
other of it's kind. and this resulted in
the old haunts being abandoned.
This was brought about by the cell.
house keeper bringing to his abode
a kitten and the dislike occasioned
by the newcomer has been unrelent.
Ing. Tige may now be seen about
the yard, coming and going without
hindrance. Most of the time it stays
about the pumphouse, where it's mas.
ter holds sway and where no other
feline may intrude and get away
without fight. &

tlary and few others from Vridlo-

city elections in Copenhagen, but the
social democrats and the liberals still
have a large majority in the city
