ANIMALS ASLEEP.
The Young and the Aged should Not
he Weakened Ncedlessly.

The Young and the Aged should Not
he Weakened Ncedlessly.
That a baby once sound asleep must
on no account be awakened is one Of
the cast iron laws OF physicians and
nurses. But few people ever stop to
consider that the same rule holds good
with the young Of every other animal.
Hardly any one, even the professed
lover Of domestic pets. feels the slight
est compunction about snatching up
puppy curled In a tempting furry tail,
and a sleeping kitten is even more the
butt for this species of rude imposition.
Sleep is regarded as a luxury for lit
tie plaything Of this kind, whose mis-
sion in life is to amuse and divert. So
nobody makes any bones Of waking IL
up either roughly or by series Of fur
tive caresses. and the sleepy mite Of
ten tries in vain for the rest that is so
essential to its comfort and health.
Particularly is this the case where
there are small children in the family.
II is all very well TO want TO have a
puppy to bring up with baby, but the
puppy usually gets the worst OF the
bargain. Animals mature so much
more rapidly than the young Of the hui
man race that by the time the baby Is
lad OF ten the puppy that grew up
with him is an elderly dog. A dog OF
twelve is venerable, while a boy OF
twelve is in the heyday Of boisterous
animal spirits and love OF teasing
Aged animals, like very young animals
should be allowed their little snoozel
and forty winks without risk Of inter
ruptiOn.

Autumn Song.

The fields are mown and the birds have
flown
Again to their winter nest;
The barns are full of the rpened grain,
The call Of the scythe is on the plain,
But our hearts feel only the song OF
the rain
And a spirit of great unrest.
The wind blows chill around the hill
And .thro' the barley sheaves
The autumn tints are in the sky,
White with frost the roses lie,
The poppies bow their heads and die,
While slowly fall the leaves.
And from all our hearts dream de-
parts
A dream Of early years
As we think of a name that it left un-
said,
and speak of time that is long since
sped,
And mourn for the love Of one who is
dead
With grief too deep for tears.

Just For Women

stead of being placed under the pill
low. The character Of the dreams may
be less satisfactory. however, At a
small wedding it is a pretty idea to re-
turn TO the old plan. which is almost
new again now. and to let the bride cut
the cake herself. She may also throw
her bouquet to the bridesmaids as she
goes up the stairs TO change her gown
before she departs on her bridal tour.
No longer do bridal couples think
they must go on a fixed journey on
their honeymoon. Instead, Il is becom-
ing more and more the custom for
them to follow the English fashion of
going together to some quiet place
where the bride may have Il chance TO
rest after the rush of the wedding. and
where both young people may learn TO
know one another. and to become
friends as well as lovers.

A GRASSAOPPER RACE.

John w. MaCkay was an early riser.
a hard worker and, although exceed
lngly hospitable, was himself abstemi-
GUS and could seldom be Induced to
play cards for money. and then for
only nominal stakes. The only game
that seemed to attract him was the
"grasshopper races" with which the
mining superintendents on the Com
etock beguiled a portion OF the noon
hour while waiting for luncheon at the
Savage company hosting house. Boys
caught crasshoppors and sold them 10
the players at % to % cents each. Each
PLAYER paid d fixed stake, ranging from
81 to $40, into the pool. and the man
whose hopper made the longest jump
captured the pool. On the day before
Christmas 1t was agreed to celebrate
that holiday with Il pool the stakes In
which We're to be $1OO for each playcf.

day, when the professor after much
boasting about his scientific attain

tuted bottle and touched his insect with
it, the grasshopper rolled over as dead
as a salt mackerc, amid the roars OF
