this drink often while trouble lasts, if
1t appears. 1t will be all right TO give
them this drink once week until five
or six weeks old Keep before them
plenty of grit and charcoal, and as far
as feeding is concerned the chicks will
grow to be healthy and happy If ev-

How He Broke Into Literature,

Frederic Harrison was n close friend
of George Eliot, and she often asked
his advice In regard to points of law
that came up in the course of her Sto-
rieS. She particularly needed legal ad-
vice in vital part of Felix Holt"
for, conscientious worker as she was
and rs all really great artists are she
was not content to make guess.
Mr.. Harrison listened as gravely to
the presentation of her problem as if it
concerned real individuals. The next
day he sent her Il carefully and con-
cisely worded opinion, which she used
In her book just as he wrote 1t. In the
story it is ascribed to 1.-The attorney
general and is referred to as final
authority" 1t is the part printed in
Italics In chapter thirty-tve.
Mr. Harrison was both surprised and
pleased to see his own words used. He
expected that the novelist would wish
TO express his legal opinion In her own
language. Thanks to George Eliot"
he said, with smile, Il have written
something that Will live forever In
English literature"- Philadelphia Press

"OlS Hundred" Scares Birds.

1t is a strange but well authenticat-
ed fact that the wild creatures OF the
woods dislike the sound of that solemn
hymn "Old Hundred" Muir, the nat
uralist, proved the truth of this by
singing 1t in the woods of the Sierras
to the birds and squirrels, which were
very tame from never having been
frightened by the report of gun or
other alarming sound. They would
come and sit near him upon the
branches of trees and listen to any
lively tune he might sing, blinking
their bright eyes as though they liked
1t, but at the first sound of "Old Hun
dred" they would beat quick retreat
to their holes or nests and never APP
pear again until he changed the tune.
This experiment was made in different
places On various occasions with eX-
actly the same result.-New York Her

~ SLEEP AND DEATH.
Neither Pain Nor Consciousness at the
Instant of Either.


The phenomenon called sleep may be
summed up in the following PROPOSE
tons, says Il writer in the CosmopCli-
tan:
First-Sleep is temporary death Of
the functions of the sensitive system,
due to exhaustion by fatigue.
Secondly-This death IS temporary
because the vital system continues to
perform its functions during SLEEP and
restores the sensitive organs to their
normal condition.
For our purpose death may be con-
sidered under the three heads-na tural
| death, sudden death and death from
disease. Natural death IS death from
old age. 1t differs from natural sleep
only in degree.
The gradual loss of sensibility by the
sensitive organs which precedes sleep
now takes place in the vital system,
and all the organs pass into permanent
sleep together There can be no pain
preceding or at the moment of such Il
death, any more than there is pain pre-
ceding or at the moment of passing
into temporary sleep.
Sudden death may be defined as
death due to sudden injury from
without or within the body sufficient
to destroy at once all irritability Of
both the sensitive and vital systems.
1t requires no argument to prove that
a person who is suddenly stricken dead
can suffer no pain. The element of
time must be present in order to suffer
physical PAIN and In the sudden death
Of Il person the element of time is alb
sent.
We come now to consider the third
and by far the most frequent form of
death-namely, death from disease.
AS soon as disease is established dy-
ing begins, which is but more rapid
than natural ceasing of all sensiblli-
ties, accompanied with more or less
suffering, according to the cause which
produces it. This dying and suffering,
called disease, must terminate either
in so called death, which Is insensibil-
lty to it, or in recovery, which Is re-
moval of the cause of it. But in any
event the suffering has been endured,
no matter whether the final termina-
ton is death or recovery.
No one is conscious of or can recall
the moment he passes from waking in
to natural or temporary sleep. Nor
shall we, by supreme agony" or in
any other way, be conscious of passing
into permanent sleep.
Being born and dying are the two
most important physiological events In
the life history of our bodies, and we
shall know no more about the latter
event at the time 1t occurs than we did
about the former

STATIONS OF THE CROSS.
Unusual Ceremony 10 Take Place at
the ApoHtolIc Mission Hnuse.

An interesting and unusual ceremony
viii take place at the Apostolic Mission
House, on the grounds of the Catholic
University, this afternoon at 4 o'clock.
It win be the time honored ceremony
of the erection Of the stations Of the
cross. Rev. Father Bede. the com
missary Of the Holy Land. viii preside
at the ceremony.
A beautifully artistic set of fourteen
stations has been presented TO the mis-
sion house by Rev. T. p. Haley in honor
Of his father and mother. The stations
are done in relief and represent the
scenes Of the fourteen chief incidents
of the Via Dolorosa. from Pilates judg-
ment seat to the death and burial Of
the RedeemeT on Calvary
From the very beginning of Chris
tianity thef places sanctifed by the
Savi0ur's suffering became dear and
venerable. Throngs Of pilgrims went
10 the Holy Land to pray at the spots
cOnsecrated by the presence Of the Re
deemer. but when the city of Ierusa-
lem fell into the hands of the Turk and
it became no longer safe to visit these
places. the Franciscan Fathers. in A. D.
1892. conceived the laudable idea Of
bringing these places into the midst Of
the faithful; so IN the Catholic Church
the way Of the cross is erected and the
highest artistic talent has been law
ished on the portraiture of the scenes
The new stations of the mission
house are done by Daprato. and each
is a vivid representation Of some par
ticular incident of the way to Calvary
At one particular station the fact is

from carrying His cross. She handed
Him a towel; the imprint of His face
remained on the cloth. AT another
station Christ falls under the weight
and is helped by the strong man com
ing IN from the country, and at ssill
another He stops to console the women
who sympathize with Him In His suf-
ferings; and so on through the fourteen
stations
The ceremony of the erection will
consist of the blessing of the cross for
each station, and placing it in its APP
prOpriate location. In the meantime,
the way of the cross viii be made by
the assembled priests and latty, the
procession will move on from station
to station, led BY the cross bearer. and
when coming to the place assigned the
celebrant viii say, I've adore Thee, o
Christ, and bless Thee" when the
audience viii respond, Because by
Thy holy cross Thou hast redeemed
the world" Then Father Bede will
give a touching description of each
scene, finishing with a prayer; and so
the ceremony viii proceed until the
whole story Of the way to Calvary has
been presented
After this a discourse will be deliv-
cred by Rev. Walter Elliott, VI no has

given At the benediction viii be used
