"It's All Dead.N

A physician recently related an Incl
dent which had come under his OBJ
servation showing the aversion a Ger.
tain little fellow of entertained for
dead chickens. On being seated at a
table upon which was an uncarved
chicken, he cried out in evident dis.
tress, Its all dead, mamma. l must
have hurried it," and he could scarcely
be persuaded to remain at the table
until the dead creature was carved
past recognition.
Children are naturally tender and
other, but also solicitous for the vel.
fare of the lower animals. The parents
of this child will probably congratulate
themselves when his tender nature be.
comes so calloused that the sight of a
dead animal being devoured will seem
to him entirely consistent, and will no
longer excite his pity.
Many of the boys in the stock yard
districts Of our large cities are further
advanced In education in this line, for
they consider 1t rare amusement to
torment the live stock before they are
unloaded from the stock cars. One
method is to poke them with red-hot
irons until the animals give vent to
the most piteous outcries.
The barbarous custom of college
hazing is another manifestation of
this same spirit of cruelty, which,
when implanted early enough in the
child's mind and then carefully fos.
tered and cultivated, will invariably
in due time produce a bountiful har.
vest Of undesirable fruits in various
shocking manifestations Of human
cruelty.

If Captain Jim Warren hadn't gone
cunning Tuesday morning But he
did go, he and his friend, Captain
Peter Hawkins, with infinite greater
chance of shooting each other than of
baggiug game, and they were to re-
turn early Wednesday. In the mean
time, Mr.. Crowley, the bookkeeper,
was to look after the affairs of War
rem & Co., importers of coffee.
Wednesday morning arrived with
exemplary promptness, but Captain
Warren did not accompany it. Mr..
Crowley was a good accountant but
he was good for nothing outside OF
that line and when the fact become
apparent that Captain Jim had not
arrived the executive of the firm of
Warren & Co., became so harassed
with responsibility that he lay the
case before Mrs. Warren.
Mrs. Warren was a pretty woman,
and she was also resourceful. She at
once informed her sister Janet, that
she was going down to the Office and
assume the management of the bust
ness until her husbands return.
But, my dear" objected Janet, you
don't know anything about business
Nonsense" retorted Mrs. Warren,
cts nothing like as hard as keeping
house. You come down about noon
and we'll have lunch in the office. It'll
be better than a picnic in the woods"
''Im glad it happened" murmured
Mrs. Warren, as she tripped her way
to the wharf, It'll do Janet good TO
come down, poor thing" AS a matter
of fact Janet was mopey She had
been engaged to be married to Frank
Strong, merchant in the same line as
was Captain Warren. The match was
eminently suitable from whatever
point of the compass it was viewed
and the problem of a trousseau for
Janet was troubling the brain of Mrs.
Warren, when a cloud arose on the
horizon of the pairs relations which
hurled the bark of love wreck on
lee shore. 1t is useless to go into
details Mrs. Warren loyalty upheld
her sister and stigTiatiZed Mr.. Strong
as wretch. Doubtless Mr.. Strong's
sister, if he had one, would have es-
poused as Loyalty her brothers side
and declared Miss Janet a flirt Be
the fault of the break where 1t be-
longs, Mr. Strong began assiduous at
tentions to another lady and Janet
wept copiously and moped.
Captain Warren, who viewed these
tender emotions from grossly ma
terial standpoint, declared living on
one chocolate cream day was no way
to conquer unrequited love ald sug-
gested a diet of pork and beans, a
prescription which was treated with
merited contempt by both ladies.
"Jim," said Mrs. Warren to her hus.
band, don't sell anything to THAI
wretch, Frank Strong; don't upeak to
him."
Captain Warren promised readily.
His idea of navigating the matrimo-
NAL ship was to promise whatever ne
was called upon to promise and trust
to luck that his wife wouii forget
about it.
Mrs. Warren found business unexcit-
ing. 1t was a dull day ana the few

STRAWBERRY A PERFECT FOOD
Fruit Juices Admirably Adapted to Those
Requiring Light Diet.

Rest means relaxation-not only of
the body, but of the mind also In
America, particularly, we are apt to
forget this. That is why nervous
prostration" is such a popular phrase
just now. The Germans, as a nation,
go more slowly than we do in all
things; the English and even the
French take life more easily. Perhaps
our atmosphere conduces to energy
and hurry. At any rate the popularity
of such words as strenuous, hustle"
and the like. in this country, show our
attitude as a nation.
OF course we cannot Immediately
change all this. We do not wish to-.
Enthusiasm and energy. hard work
and hard thinking, have brought us
to our present state of prosperity, and
we cannot afford to fall back now. Nor
do we need to. Hard work, whether
OF hand or brain, does not kill, but
continual work and worry do. II we
would secure the future generations
from nervous degeneration. we must
learn how and when to relax.
This is very hard for some tempera-
ments. Some people must have their
hands constantly occupied in some
way, and it is difficult, of course, to
remember that haste is often slower
than elaboration. We say that have
no time to go slowly.
A great fault in busy people is their
foi RI fhnrnnnhIxy nj MI r,t
Many go to bed and sleep, after a
fashion, but with tense nerves. The
mind should be as Invested of worries
and cares at bedtime as the body is of
clothes. The muscles must be relax
ed. II exercises are taken at night
for relaxation. Some of the most
helpful Of these relaxing exercises
may be mentioned:
l. Stand easily erect, chest raised
and abdomen in, and let the head fall
gently forward, then arms and trunk
above the waist. All this must be
done without effort, the breath being
gently expelled at the same time. Aft.
er little pause, raise the body slowly.
2. Stand erect, raise the arms
above the head and let them fall
first the fingers, then the wrists, then
| the arms.
8. Let the arms hang at the sides
then slowly and gently swing them
from side to side, gradually letting the
head and then the body swing with
| them.
Remember that your object is to re.
lax the muscles and do all these exer.
cises easily and with as little exertion
as possible.

He Squeezed His Eve.

One day a little niece OF mine, aged

her mother, and by way of diversion
started little Irritation with a brake
man on the train. The little one and

Tree Sacred to Japanese God.

A tree in Japan is sacred to the
god Ginkho, therefore our slang
phrase "by jingo,' is probably derived
from the Japanese oath by Ginkho. In
1886 the Japanese gave a site on an
artificial island in hippo for the set
Element of Portuguese merchants, and
had the space laid out in the shape Of
a fan, signifying an object agreeable
for general use.

Snails have eyes at the ends OF

RAILWAYS in Enuland,

England is so honey-combed with
railways that in spite of her relatively
small territory there are one-tenth as
many miles of track in England as in
America. While upon these tracks
there were hauled trains a distance of
400 100000 miles last year, in America
trains travelled 100000, 900 miles.

Irish Alphabet.

The Irish language has only eighteen
letters. Sometimes each letter is
written separately and not joined
together. The chief difficulty in learn
ing Irish is that there are innumer-
able abbrevations for words and
phrases. The Irish language is nom
phonetic, the words rarely being key
to the correct pronunciation.

Rest.

Few people really know how to rest
Exercise is very necessary to health
and many do not take enough of 1t;
but on the other hand, perhaps even
more people rest too little, or what
amounts to the same thing, do not
rest properly. No matter how well de-
veloped the muscles are. II they are
rigid and stiff they will not do the
best work. They must be readily re-
Taxed when not in use. Even athletes
IL they really understand the laws of
exercise, strive for relaxation as well
as for well-developed muscles.

a reputation abroad by her original
work in color and black ard white.
Miss Smiths designs, while thy show

knew Whistler was anxious to get his
opinion of them. She took .,,e port

the painter and waited anxi,y2sly as
Whistler examined them.
