.lohnson Was a Mighty Eater.

5 Many men of great intellectual pow CT have been large eaters. I.usher, Goethe and Walter Scott were mighty trenchermen. Charles V. shortened his life by gluttony. It is recorded by. Boswell that on certain night at sup per Dr. Johnson discoursed of good eating with uncommon satisfaction. We know from the same authority how studiously the sage minded his stomach. When at table, :" says Bos-i well, The was totally absorbed in the business of the moment. His eyes seemed riveted to his plate, nor would he. unless when in very high company. say one word or even pay the least at tention to what was said by others till he had satisfied his appetite, which was so fierce and indulged with such intenseness that while in the act of eating the veins of his forehead swell ed and gradually a strong precipitation was visible"
 The, squeamish person who reads these unpleasant details must remem- Der that Johnson had in his days of ob- scurity known by experience what fast ing was, and once, in writing to pub fisher. had added .'impransus'' to his name. The voracity then acquired re- mained with him when his dinner was no longer daily problem.

Orders of Eagles.

The eagle is. of course. favorite decoration 2 in several countries. The premier order of Prussia is the Black Eagle, which not only confers heredi- tary nobility on the recipent. but. strange to say, the Grand Cross of the Red Eagle Order also Hereditary mo- bility is also conferred by the White Eagle of Russia, once the premier Pol ish order, but now third on the Rus sian roll. Servia also boasts a White Eagle order, created by Milan I. in 1882 to commemorate the proclaiming of the Servian kingdom. Two Eagle orders have now disappeared. The Golden Eagle of Wurttemberg was in 1918 merged in the Order of the Crown. and the Order of the Mexican Eagle. founded by the ill fated Emperor Maxi milan in 1865. lapsed at his tragic death.-Manchester Guardian

Why . Cats Eyes Glow Tn the Dark.

Why Cats Eyes Glow Tn the Dark.
 The eyes of cat shine in the dark not because they produce light, for they do not. but because they reflect all the light that may reach them. If the cat be. in a totally dark room you cannot see, it's eyes. It is only when there is at least glimmer of light that these glow The animal must be looking almost directly at you. What ever light there be must come from about behind or above you. The cats eye is powerful lens with reflector behind 1t. This gathers the rays and concentrates them in horizontal beam. It is possible that these shin
 ing eyes exercise sort of hypnotic fascination for mice and rats. It may also be that the ray they cast. slender and faint though it be. serves to light up their prey sufficiently for their keen eyes to see it.-New York World.

Aats Worn at Table.


 Seventeenth century etiquette pre- scribed that hats should be worn at table. "The Rules of Civility, or Ger tain Ways of Department y published in 1873. gives some directions on this point. Under the supposition that "a person of quality detains you to dine with him. it is laid down that when the person invited is seated he must keep himself uncovered till the. rest sit down and the person of quality has put on his hat : *,".@ If the person of honor drinks health to you, you must be sure to be uncovered. If he speaks to you. you must likewise be uncov- cred till you have answered him. If one rises from the table before the rest he must pull off his hat"
 A trace of this etiquette fingers in the house Of commons. where mem Der is always allowed to wear his hat only when seated.-London Graphic.
