The following story was given US
by a gentleman whose veracity we
would not doubt. About six years ago
in the fall hunter shot squirrel,
which lodged between two small twigs
the size of lead pencil. This being
near the mans house. he watched
the squirrel each week. The first
spring the twigs grew and the squirrel
remained in the position it lodged.
The second year the Lwigs, which
had grown to be the size Of a mans
fingers, died; SO did the limb die. The
third year no change, but during the
fourth year the tail OF the squirrel
dropped off, and the man noticed no
change in the fifth, but in the sixth
year he secured the limb and squirrel
and found, TO his surprise, that the
squirrel had become a white oak
bump. Under the microscope could be
seen the hairs in the wood. The places
for the eyes and ears we're perfect,
and where the chin aud forelegs had
touched the twigs 1t grew to them.
The legs we're intact, but the feet had
disappeared The body Of the squirrel
had grown to be about four inches in
diameter.
What puzzled the gentleman who
gave us this is, through what process
could the dead animal become wood?
AS proof to the story we can furnish
the name of the man who has the
freak of nature in his possession and
who watched it from the time it first
lodged. - mith's Grove (Ky) Times.

When digestion Is Perfect.

Thus we have arrived at the conclu
sion that moderation in diet has more
to do with prolonging human life than
any other one thing. and we have en-
deavored to enforce this teaching by
showing in the clearest manner of
which we are capable the reasons for
it. A proper dietetic regimen, once
attained, brings all the rest in it's
train. Sleep, exercise, cleanliness,
equanimity Of spirit, all hang upon it.
Life is not only prolonged, but is cont
stantly enjoyed, most of its minor an
noyances vanishing when digestion is
perfect. Pay no attention to fads.
They give rise to too much introspeci
ton, and that Is bad for every one

Effect Of Moral Teaching on Youth.
Two small boys stood before Judge
Stubs of the Juvenile court. They
gazed fsarfully into his earnest, yet
kindly face, and, not too badly fright
ened to understand, grasped the i'm
port Of the lecture.
my boys, tell me, now, why did you
jump off and on those cars? You
knew that you might have a leg or an
arm cut off, didn't you? You might
have been killed. Now, you haven't
got any more arms and legs than you
need, have you? Don't you see that
it's ve1y foolish of you to put your
self in danger in that manner?"
Sitting in the little waiting room Of
the court half an hour later, both boys
were silent They had evidently been
ponderihg over the words of the judge
Not SO much reverence as might have
been expected was heard in the voice
of the smaller boy as he suggested to
