How Sea Birds Drink.

Under the headline, Where Do They Get Water? a writer in the Young Folks Catholic Weekly says: When I was a cabin boy 1 often used to wonder, seeing birds thousands of miles out to sea, what they did for fresh water when they were thirsty. One day a squall answered that ques- tton for me. It was hot and glitter ing day In the tropics, and in the clear sky overhead a black rain cloud ap- peared all of sudden. Then out of empty space over hundred sea birds came darting from every direction. They got under the rain cloud, and waited there for about ten minutes, circling round and round, and when the rain began to fall they drank their fill. In the tropics, where the great sea birds sail thousands of miles away from shore, they get their drinking water in that way They smell out a storm long way off; they travel a hundred miles maybe to get under 1t, and they swallow enough raindrops to keep them going.-New York Trib- une.

EorestaIIed,

District Attorney J. F. Clarke of New York was talking about the re cent Kidnapping cases.
 "Kidnapers," he said, "are apt to disappear now. They have become too unpopular. Why, kidnaper is as unpopular as widower.
 Widows, now, are very attractive, but about widower there is always something uncanny, something almost clammy-I mean, of course, from the matrimonial point of view.
 T know a widower who Is thinking of marrying again. He thought he'd broach the matter delieately the other morning to his little daughter, so he said:
 "'Ah, my dear, how I did love your mother!'
 But the little girl gave him sus picious look and snapped:
 "'Say "do," not did" papa"

REASONED IT OUT And Found Change In Food Put
 Him Right.

A man does not count as wasted the time he spends in thinking over his business, but he seems 10th to give the same sort of careful attention to himself and to his health. And yet his business would be worth little without good health to care for it. A business man tells how he did him. self good by carefully thinking over his physical condition, Investigating to find out what was needed, and then changing to the right rood.
 For some years I had been bother ed great deal after meals. My food seemed to lay like lead in my stomach, producing heaviness and dullness and sometimes positive pain. Of course this rendered me more or less unfit for business, and I made up my mind that something would have to be done
 Reflection led me to the conclusion that over-eating, filling the stomach with indigestible food, was responsible for many of the ills that human flesh endures, and that I was punishing myself in that way-that was what " oo lHuhiu6 lhO oO dull, lCdfy ctiiN comfortable, and unfit for business after meals. I concluded to try Grape Nuts food to see what it could do for me.
 T have been using it for some months now, and am glad to say that do not suffer any longer after meals; my food seems to assimilate easily and perfectly, and to do the work for which it was intended
 ' have regained my normal weight, and find that business is a pleasure once moroccan take more interest in 1t, and my mind is clearer and more alert"

Mir Johnson was born in George town, Ky, July Is, 1854. In the Sos he came to Cleveland and became in terested in the street car systems here and assisted in partial consolidation of them. In 1891 he was elected to congress, serving two terms as c single taxer."
 While engaged in business in Cleveland he acquired control of tho Detroit car lines. and it was then he first proposed Sc fares. Citizens of Detroit, however, rejected his propo- sition, and he retired from Detroit. He returned to Cleveland in 1901 and was elected mayor of Cleveland on q platform which promised universal Sc street car fares. After a fight with the street car company, which lasted until 1908 and through four elections, in each of which he was triumphant, the Cleveland traction lines passed into the hands of the Municipal Trac- tion Company. After six months trial of operating at Sc, the people voted out the franchise. One more attempt was made by Mayor Johnson to se- cure the passage of the three-cent grants, but his proposals were reject ed at an election held August 3, 1909. His own defeat followed three months later, and on January 1, 1910, he sur rendered the reins of office to the present mayor. Two months later three-cent fares were re-established, the result of MT. Johnson's efforts.
 In 1903, while Mr. Johnson was mayor, he was nominated for govern or by the Democrats of Ohio, but was unsuccessful at the election.
 Crushed both in health and spirit, the eX-mayor went abroad, where he hoped to regain his health, but he came home no better.
 Besides his wife, MT Johnson is sur vived by one son and a daughter.

Unreliable Physlognomy.

am profound disbelieyer in phys iognomy. Features are false wit nesses. Stupidity frequently wears a mask of intelligence. I know busi- ness men who look like poets and poets who look like business men. Men of genius invariably look like idiots, and if you pick out the man who looks most eminent In a party you are sure to find he is nobody. always distrust men who look mag nificent. Nature is a stingy creature. She seldom gives a man the double gift of being great and looking great. She took care to lame Byron and de- form Pope and disdgure Johnson. But the crowning example of her jealous parsimony is Shakespeare. I have al- ways been disappointed with Shakes peare's face. It does not live up to his poetry. It Is dull, heavy and com monplace.-Adyentures in London.
