HEALTHY CHILDREN.

without good heath life Is not
worth living. Sickiy, peevish chill
dren are source of endless trouble
and anxiety TO their parents. yet the
childrens condjtion is frequently due
to their parents ignorance or thought
;essness. or both
To make children healthy and to-
keep them in that condition it is nee
essary to feed them proper food and
to see that they get plenty OF exer-
else and fresh air. Meat is very bad
for children. 1t should be avoided
and food rich in phosphates. such as
Pilisbury-s yitos. should be given in
its place
This food is truly the>"meat OF the
wheat II is made by the world ,
greatest millers and II is free from
artificial coioring or ainite-ation. lt

whole family will enjoy this common

Buried in Coffin of Glass.

That glass coffin in which Tomag-
no, the great singer, was buried the
other Gay, was not the first which has
inclosed a curious character. There
was a miserly Sir Thomas Bancroft,
who in old London days heaped up
great riches. Even when his time
came to die he could not bring himself
to give his property away and SO he
left his estate to be improved until he
should rise again, which he expected
shortly to do. He had window built
in his coffin, movable from the interior
and windows and glazed door to his
tomb, and ordered that at frequent in
tervals these should be opened and
himself inspected by the trusts. But
the later had had enough of the gem
tleman- They built almshouses with
his estate.

40. X" Comes From choctaw.

There has been much discussion as,
to the origin of the term 80. k It
seems that in the Choctaw language
there is a word, ''okeh,'' which means
cit is correct" or Il agree to APP
prove" 1t is often used alone to give
assent or approval to a suggestion or
proposal. "Okeh" was in common use
among whites who had dealings with
the Choctaws more than thirty years
before the Van Buren, campaign 1t

Fishing for Sheep in Bay.

When sheep were first introduced
into Cornwall flock which had
strayed from the uplands on to
Gwithian Sands were caught there by
the tide and ultimately carried into ST.
Ives bay during the night. There the
floating flock was observed from the
ST. Ives fishing boats, whose crews.
never having seen sheep, took them
for some new kind of fish and did their
best to secure them by hooks and lines
and by netting. Those they secured
they brought home triumphantly next
morning as a catch to which even pill
chardS were as nothing.

BEARS ARE COMMON.

Bears are SO common out in our
country said Maj. Frank Foote, of
Evanston, Wyo., at the Riggs House,
that even the hunters pay but little
attention to them, and they roam the
mountain sides unmo1ested. One rea-
son of their immunity is that the State
pays no bounty on their skins, and
there is no inducement to kill them
In the past year L suppose I've en-
countered fifty big silver tips in I'M
frequented localities, not one of which
seemed at all embarrassed by the
meeting, but trotted off with dignified
deiberation."-W Post.

Will Raise Snakes for Revenue.

Probably more snakes. Imaginative
or real, are seen in Foxboro, Mass,
than in any other town in the United
States, yet Cyrus J. Brownell of Wor-
cester proposes to add to the number
by establishing there snake farm
which will be the only one of its kind
in New England.
The purpose of the novel business
is to raise the reptiles to get snake oil,
which is not only considered very
effective in curing muscular troubles.

ket Brownell appreciated this, and

snakes himself, and made arrange

Weird Funeral of Maori Chief.


Major TIE Keepa Rangipuawhe, the
last of the great chiefs of the Arawa
tribes of New Zealand. who died at
the age of so. has been accorded a
remarkably weird funeral at Rotorua.
New Zealand.
After his death the Arawa tribes as
sembled for the obsequies and held
"tangi' for three weeks-weeping and
feasting. A military funeral was ac-
corded by the government and the pro-
cession, which was strangely diverse
in character, comprised many hun
dreds of natives and Europeans.
The body, covered with the Union
Jack, was carried by native chiefs to
a grave on the summit of a conical
hill, while Maori children chanted
hymns, and part of the funeral cere
mony consisted of throwing hundreds
of loaves of bread into the air for the
sustenance of the departed chief.
