Where Was the Sleek Cat:

A certain family living in one of the
suburbs of New York owned a kitten
of which they were very fond. When
they went away for the summer it was
decided after various consultations to
leave the kitten with the butcher, on
condition that he should treat it with
the greatest Kindness and give it about
a pound of meat a week, besides its
daily allotment of cream.
Some weeks after the family had
closed the house for the summer the
nominal head of the family VISITED the
suburb to attend to some business mat
tiers and decided that he might as well
drop in at the butchers to see how the
kitten was getting along.
He found the kitten curled up in a
corner asleep and apparently at peace
with the world, but, far from being
sleek and we'll fed in appearance, it
was so thin that he felt constrained to
call the attention of the butcher to the
fact
DO you mean to say you have fed
that cat pound of meat during the
last week." he asked.
Il certainly have" responded the
butcher.
Put him on the scales and see how
much he weighs"
The butcher did as requested and
gently deposited the kitten in the bal
ance. The pointer indicated exactly
one pound.
WELL" grunted the owner of the
animal, there's the pound of meat all
right, but where's the cat?"-New York

College DAYS,

There was once a Yale sophomore
who, as many college men do, found
himself in financial straits and pawned
all his good clothes. A little before
Thanksgiving he got a big check from
home.
When he got home for the holidays
the first thing his mother took out of
the trunk was an overcoat and on it
was pinned the pawnbroker's ticket he
had forgotten to remove.
Hastily grabbing the ticket, he said ::
Hello. They must have forgotten
to take this off at the Smith dance
when l left it in the cloakroom"
\ moment later his mother took out
his evening trousers. They also had
q ticket on them.
why, Reginald" she said. surely
you didn't leave these in the cloak
room, too, did you?'-Lippincott's.

ArChbisn0n Harty,

Archbishop Harry, of Manila, who
has been the Catholic head of the
church in the Philip pines for four
years, says of the natives:
English is to be the langu .ge of the
islands. Even the Spanish priests
even the most venerable, are learning
it. Popular education was fairly well
provided for before the American oc-
cupation; but the American govern
ment has greatly improved the pri-
mary school system, and has done q
vast deal of good by impressing on the
natives the dignity of labor. The peo-
pie are of good intellectual capacity,
They remain deeply religious. Paren.
tai authority is piously respected. The
home life is pure and attractive.
IT would be more than q mistake
to abandon the islands. 1t would be
nothing short of a burning disgrace
1t would be Il shame. The brightest
page in American history will be that
recording the operations Of this gov.
eminent in the Philippines. My belief
is that in time the FilipinoS may turn
Japan to Christianity. These Philip
pines are the pearl of the Orient. Just
think-siX million Christians in, we
may say, the heart of Asia. 1 believe
that the Filipinos will finally convert
the japanese, and the japanese will IL
due time convert Asia"
The only danger to the country now
is from professional revolutionists
who if not depressed would be bloody
anarchists The best element of the
Filipinos respect and admire the

Relics of PrehistOris Rome.

The excavations now going on in the
Roman forum have just resulted in the
disclosure of important relics which tend
to carry back the beginning of Roman
history and to change in some respects
the accepted story of the founding of
Rome. Below the wall, which has been
shown to date back to the fifth or sixth
century B. c., the spades have now re-
vealed evidence of pre-existing necropo-
lis on the same spot over which the wall
was built. The most commonly received
legend of Rome's foundation places that
event about twenty-six centuries ago. In
the tomb thus brought to light were
found remains of human bones and a
drinking cup, OF earthenware. This vase
may cause the ancient history of Rome
to be rewritten, and the excavations thus
far show that Rome was not built on
virgin soil, but on the remains Of an older
civilization. The famous Trajan column
has also come in for further excavation.
The foundation having been excavated,
terra Gotta jars, lamps, bones and paved
street have been disclosed, all dating over
100 years before Trajan's time.

The Bow Got Even,

An American tourist on a visit to
Glasgow, on emerging from the rail,
way station, was accosted by a lad with
a familiar shout of Garry your bag

the bag and requested to be shown
through Glasgow. Crossing George

said proudly:

They got on to a tramcar going east
and just as they alighted at the term.

DOCTORS FOOD TALK.

that the proper selection of food should
be, and is one of the most important
acts in life.
"On this subject, l may say that I
know of no food equal in digestibility,
and more powerful in point of nutri-
ment, than the modern Grape Nuts,

fieient for the cereal part Of meal,
and experience demonstrates that the
user is perfectly nourished from one
meal to another.
II am convinced that the extensive
and general use of high class foods Of
this character would increase the term

Canals of Mars IllusOry.

Prof E. A. Douglass of the University
of Arizona, in an article for the Popu-
lar Science Monthly, advances the the
DRY that some of the so-called canals on
the surface of the planet Mars have no
real existence, but are due to an optical
illusion. He does not question the reality
CT the larger markings of canals, but
doubts the existence of the network of
the smaller waterways. Prof. Douglass
theory starts with the observation of the
halo that may be seen around small
black spot when regarded from the dis
lance of six to eight feet, and which also
is often noticed around notes floating in
the field of vision. He finds that the
cause lies in the obscure reactions that
change light waves into nerve impulses.
He also calls attention to the rays that
may be seen about black spot on a light
ground similar to those about a bright
spot, such as a star, on dark ground.
These are attributable to irregular re-
fraction in the eye, and account, in his
opinion, for many faint canals radiating
from the spots on Mars called lakes or

Women Vote I'm New Zealand.

Public life is extraordinarily pure in
New Zealand, declares writer in the
Craftsman. Corruption or mismanage-
ment in public Office is almost I'M
known. The success of all the reform
measures has been due as much to
the men who have administered them
as to the measures themselves, while no
small degree Of credit belongs to the
people Of the colony, because Of their
law-abiding character and their willing
ness to give fair trial to new statutes.
Notwithstanding the fearlessness
with which the New Zealanders have
cut loose from the established economic
order one finds among them curious
strain of conservatism. For instance,
they gave the ballot to women thirteen
years ago, and the women use it and
sast almost as high a percentage of
votes as do the men. Mr.. Seldom told
me that he did not think his govern
ment could have carried a good deal Of
its social legislation without the help
of the woman voters. But they have
not yet given to the wife her joint right
in the home, and Premier Seldom was
being soundly rated when 1 was there
because he was advocating such
measure.

NERVOUS COLLAPSE
IS OFTEN PREVENTED BY Or,
WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
Taken When the First Warning Synp-
toms Are Noticed Much Needless
S.fferino May Ee Saved,

Are you troubled with pallor, loss Of
spirits, waves of heat passing over the
body, shortness of breath. after slight
exertion, peculiar skipping of the
heart beat, poor digestion, cold extremi-
ties or feeling of weight and fullness?
Do not make the mistake of thinking
that these are diseases in themselves
and be satisfied with temporary relief.
This is the way the nerves give warn
ing that they are breaking down. It
simply means that the blood has become
impure and cannot carry enough nourish-
ment to the nerves to keep them healthy
and able to do their work.
Rest, alone, will sometimes give the
needed relief The tonic treatment BY
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, however, pre-
vents the final breakdown of the nerves
and the more serious diseases which
follow, because the pills act directly
upon the impure blood, making it rich,
red and pure.
Mrs. E. G. Bradley, of 1903 Parsells
avenue, Rochester, n. Y. says:
81 was never very healthy and some
years ago, when in a rundown condi-
tlon, suffered a nervous shock, caused
by a misfortune to friend. 1t was so
great that was untitled for work.
81 was just weak, low-spirited and
nervous. could hardly walk and could
not bear the least noise. Ny appetite
was poor and did not care for food.
couldn't sleep well and once for two
weeks got scarcely an hours sleep. I
had severe headaches most of the time
and pains in the back and spine.
81 was treated by two doctors, being
under the care of one of them for six
months. I got no relief and then de-
cided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
soon began to feel better and the i'm
provement was general. Ny appetite
became hearty and my sleep better.
The headaches all left and also the pains
in my back A few more boxes entirely
cured me and I was able to go back to
work. l felt splendid and as though I
had never been sick"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are invaluable
in such diseases as rheumatism, after
effects of the grip and fevers, neuralgia,
St. Vitus' dance and even partial
paralysis and locomotor ataxia.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt of price, so cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams

Wisconsin's Industries.
The lead mines in the southwest were
an early attraction. Indians worked
them proftably. Perrot developed some
OF them, France knew of these, as well
as others, and in 1719 appointed Francis
Ronault director general of mines in
Louisiana" and early in the nineteenth
century immigrants came up from the
south to work them with slave labor.
To-day the mineral industry represents
an investment of many millions of dol
lars.
The forests that the early explorers
knew only as hiding places for Indians
| now yield a great revenue, two-ifths of
the capital of the State being invested
in lumber manufacture. 1t is said that
the pine planks cut in Wisconsin in the
past quarter of a century would lap
around the earth 2,495 times. Wisconsin
is second in the value of dairy products
among the States, fourth in the manufac-
ture of leather and fifth in that of wood
pulp. Before 1888 Milwaukee was only
the site of Solomon Juneau's cabin. To
