USE FOR HOUSEHOLD PETS
Psychologist Says Cats and Parrots
Would Keep Lonely People From
Committing Suicide.

A new use for cats, parrots and 9th
er household pets has been discovered
by DR.. Colin A. Scott, professor OF
psychology at the Boston Normal
school. He is reported to have said to
an audience of public school principals
in Chicago that one reason why peo
pie commit suicide is that they feel
their own uselessness, and that if an
unmarried woman has cat or a par
rot to care for it may give her some.
thing to live for and prevent her from
taking her own life.
Anything else that awakens and
holds interest in life would serve the
purpose equally well-a fad of any
sort, plants, garden, whist, novels
history, charitable work, crocheting
votes for women. The number of pos
sible objects to keep woman inter
ested in life is unlimited. Even for
elderly and disillusioned bachelor
maids, who find the world a lonesome
place, there are countless fascinating
subjects of interest
Perhaps cats are among the least
promising of such subjects, for cats
generally are selfish and self-centered
They take all they can get and give
as little as they can. No woman real
ly ever owned cat. The cat owns
the woman. And possibly that is why
the psychology professor suggested
cats as preventives of suicide.

Woman as Jail Governor.

Nine. Jenny Porchet, who hai
charge of the prison at Aigle, in the
Canton of Vaud, France, is now So
years of age. and 81 years ago she
married the then prison governor.
At his death the authorities adyer
tised for successor, and among the
applicants was his widow, who had
managed the prison during her hus
bands long illness. Another point in
her favor was her physique. In height
she wants only an inch of six feet,
and possesses the muscles of a wres
tier. The prison commission doubted
her fitness, but when she offered to
try her strength against the most
powerful gendarme. all doubts sub.
sided. The prison is said to be the
best managed in Switzerland.

WiIv Sexton.

Visitors to the Old North church
are shown through the historic old
building usually by an elderly man
who seems obsessed with a love fol
the church. His fund of reminis
cences is refreshing, and the most
Interesting thing he recounts Is the
story Of how the lanterns wers
placed in the belfry.
According to his version of the his
toric incident, the sexton overheard
some English officers talking in the
house he lived in, and Immediately
hung the lanterns. Returning to his
room, he saw that his shoes were
caked with mud and hid them, replac.
lng them with dry pair.
The officers, after they learned that
signal had been hung from the bel.
fry, rushed to the room of the sexton,
but, finding his shoes dry, became
convinced that some one else had
hung the lanterns and then locked all
the doors of the edifice-Boston Jour

Breeding corn today has for its OBJ
tect more than the development OF an
increase in yield. 1t has been clearly
proven that by proper selection, va
rieties of corn can be secured which
have feeding value far above the
increase In oil content and more es-
pecially an increase in protein.
1t is possible and highly probable
that in the future when corn will be
more largely used for commercial pur-
poses than at present, sales will be
made on the basis of protein content,
just as milk is sold today on the basis
Of fat content.
In fact, some of the large glucose
factories have already adopted this
plan. 1t is evidently unfair to the
man who produces corn with IL per
cent. protein to receive no more than
the man who markets an per cent.

to increase the yield as in being abso
