GOOD MEALS FOR SICK

The convalescent period In sick
ness is trying for both patient and
nurse.
1t is the season for fresh air,
sunshine, good cheer and sanity.
When the patient is fed three
points should be observed: First
of all, the patient is weak and
needs nourishment. Second, he
cannot digest, large quantities at a
time, nor heavy kinds of food.
Third, the taste should be salts
fed, within reason.
For dinner patient could
have: Chop. cooked in buttered
paper; baked potatoe, boiled onions

HE THREW HIS LANTERN WITH ALL HIS

don't believe he did. There was nc

Doctor down to Yarmouth fixed me
up all right. Jimmy offered to pay the

do that even If the doctor had charged
me cent, which he didn't.
Il was almighty glad to get out OF
that scrape with scar on my face
and I reckon it won't amount to much
after it's bleached out.
Glow is Jimmy getting on? Oh
first rate, guess. If they ever thought
of reprfmanding him for not making
sure he had matches with him when
he started olt to signal that train ]
guess they reflected that he'd shown
qualities that redeemed that fault and
that the chances were that he'd make

Tho Owl as = helper.

A family Of barn owls will number
from three to seven birds. It is hard
to believe what an amount Of vermin
a family Of owls will consume. An
old owl will capture as much or more
food than dozen cats in night. The
owlets are always hungry. They will
eat their own weight in food every
night and more if they, can get it. A
case is on record where half grown
owl was given all the mice it could
eat. It swallowed eight, one after
the other. The ninth followed, all
but the tail, which for some time hung
out Of the birds mouth. The rapid
digestion Of birds Of prey is shown
by the fact that in three hours the
little glutton was ready for second
meal and swallowed four more nice.
If this can be done by a single bird,
what effect must whole family Of
owls have on the vermin Of com
munity? It would be difficult to point
out more useful bird than the barn
owl in any farming country. Like
many other birds, it deserves the full
est protection. but man is often its
worst enemy-American Birds.

SIMPSONS PLUCK.
An inventors Weary but Successful
Fight Against Great Odds.

Charles Goodyear is not the only in
ventor who might turn his face to the
wall to die saying Of the tardy recog-
milton of his efforts. 81 die happy
others can get rich"
Goodyear's efforts to introduce the
use of vulcanized rubber were no more
tragic than the stories of a dozen other
inventors. There was a man named
Simpson in Missouri who discovered
that gutta percha was a nonconductor
OF electricity. He borrowed money of
one Amos Kendall to make his appli-
cation for patent. It was rejected
over and over, rich companies fighting
his claim. But he had ''sand;" he
never weakened. 1t was just after
the civil war that he made his last
fight. He had no money-not dollar
but he started from st. Louis for
Washington afoot
He would not beg, but made his way
half across the continent by saving
wood, hoeing corn or doing any work
that came to hand. In one place he
robbed scarecrow of pair of pants
and a hat, leaving his own more rag.
ged garments in their place. In Pitts
burg he had to work as a truck driver
till he could earn enough to repair his
shoes and take him on his way And
all the time he believed stubbornly in
himself and in his invention. His own
words were:
when I came over the tops of the
Alleghenies saw the sun rising, and
I knelt down and thanked God for my
life and asked him to let me get my
patent. He promised me on the spot.
and I never had moments doubt
after that
Arriving in Washington, he got a
living as day laborer on the stone
foundation Of the patent Office, and
from that vantage ground he fought
his claim through the Office and the
courts and got his patent. The West
ern Union Telegraph company gave
him 100000 down for the privilege of
using it.-Exchange.

Odd Cures For Rheumatism.

Cures for rheumatism are almost as
old as the complaint itself In the
midland counties of England it was
formerly considered that the right
forefoot OF a hare, worn constantly in
the pocket, was an amulet against
rheumatism, while the Dutch peas
antry still cherish a belief in the pres
ervative virtues of borrowed or
stolen potato. Stranger than these,
however, was the remedy discovered
by a servant girl at the village of
Stanton, in the Cotswolds, who con-
trived to be confirmed three times, in
the belief that confirmation was an
unfailing cure for rheumatism

It's swell affair that runs down on
the east shore of Buzzards bay.
by the hour I mentioned the Dude
should have been at Woods Hole, her
run made. But she had stopped at Mid
dleboro on account of hot box and
was way behind time She had gone
on and was flying along through the
woods between Wareham and Onset,
not more than fifteen minutes ahead of
our time, when that same box began
to smoke again, hotter than fire.
'"There was nothing for them to do
but haul up and cool her off. But they
knew that we were coming right be-
hind. The Dude had just made a
curve where the track follows the
bend of the bay, and it was bad
place. I shouldn't have seen the
Dudes rear lights around that curve
until we were right on her. OF course
they sent a man back with lantern
to signal us. The man they took for
the duty was young brakeman, not
over nineteen, by the name Of Jimmy

the road more than two years, but he
came Of very good family of folks
down to Falmouth and was a mighty
bright, gentlemanly sort of a young

who travel down to the bay like to
have on the Flying Dude.

GROUP Of delegates to the con
vention Of the Brotherhood of
X Locomotive Engineers sat in
the rotunda at the Palmer
House, in Chicago, telling stories
Among them was grizzled oldish
man from the Old Colony who had
curious red scar bending around from
his forehead across his right temple
and down his right cheek, with al
most as regular curve as if it had
been marked there with a compass.
The redness of its color indicated that
the mark had been inflicted not very
long ago.
The man who wore the scar had TAX
en- no part in the conversation. Pres
emily one Of the western delegates said
to him:
'*Come, Grandpa Hawkins, you ought
to have story to tell. How did you
get that scar, now?"
The Old Colony man colored little
and looked uneasy.
"You fellows can tell stories,'' he
said, "and I can't. But I will say
this: I was never thankful for hard
blow in the face but once, and that
was when got this scar"
Then he subsidized into silence, appar-
emily supposing that there was moth
ing more to say. OF course the engi-
neers about him raised loud demand
for the rest Of the story, which SEEM
ed to surprise the Old Colony man.
Binder this pressure he went on, lit
tie awkwardly.
II hain't had the scar more'n about
a year." he said. II was running the
1880 passenger train out Of Boston
on the Cape Cod division, as am now,
when I'm at home. We had passed
iWareham one clustering, blowing,
rainy November afternoon. It was
half past by that time, and as the
sky was thick with clouds 1t was just

tolerably crooked, crossing and lodging

story anywhere near right I've got to
get you out of my cab and on to the

lege, I can tell you, for they say it

THE SUMMIT OF. FUJI.
When Morning Breaks Over the Very
Top Of Japan.

"HeU Morning breaks over the very
Top Of Japan.
Suddenly spark, a fame and then
burst Of fire. and, 10 and behold,
the rosy morning is awake once more
on Fujfs pearly crest while Japan,
below, is yet enveloped in the filmy
mists of night
The pilgrims fall on their knees and
bow their heads to the ground in ado
ration, and with much lingering of
rosaries the plaintive cadence of their
prayers rises like a lamentation to the
heavens above.
At Benares, the sainted city Of the
Hindoos, as the sun rises each morn
ing across the holy Ganges the pray
ers Of the bathing multitude are as
the roaring of the sea. But even this,
one of the greatest and most stirring
religious spectacles of the world is
not more picturesque than that little
band of pilgrims 'twixt heaven and
earth, high up in the blue profound,
on the very top Of Japan, kneeling in
praise before the great orb which is
the emblem of their empire.
Never to have seen sunrise from the
summit Of Fuji is never to have really
seen Japan.
The kindly nature which made this
lovely land has surpassed all it's other
efforts in the lavish profusion with
which it has scattered it's favors
around the sacred mountain. Ripping
rills and roaring rivers, dancing cas-
cades and laundering waterfalls,
feathery woods and deep forests there
are on every side, but of all these
glories the most enchanting are the
lakes which lie embosomed like fash
ing jewels among the hills
OF them all Shoji and Motosu are
the most beautiful, the latter excelling
In the exquisite sapphire blue of it's
waters and its dainty, delicate beauty

ing comparison with the fairest wa
tiers of the orld.-Herbert G. Pointing
