HINDU JUSTICE.
The Case Of the Cat That Carried the
Fire to the Cotton.

Fire to the Cotton.
Four Hindus. partners In business.
bought some cotton bales. That the
rats might not destroy the cotton they
purchased cat They agreed that
each Of the four should own par.
ticuiar leg of the cat, and each adorn-
ed with beads and other ornaments
the leg thus appordoned to him. The
cat, BY an accident. injured one Of its
legs. The owner Of that member
wound around it rag soaked in oil.
The cat. going too near the hearth,
set this rag on fire and. being in great
pain. rushed In among the cotton bales,
where she was accustomed to hunt
rats. The cotton thereby took fire and
was burnt up.
The three other partners brought a
suit to recover the value of the cotton
against the fourth partner who owned
this particular leg Of the cat. The
native judge examined the case. and
this was his decision:
1.-The leg that had the oiled rag on it
was hurt. The cat could not use that
leg. In fact. 1t held up that leg and
ran with the other three legs. The
three unhurt legs therefore carried the
fire to the cotton and are alone cul-
pable. The injured leg is not to be
blamed. The three partners who own
ed the three legs With which the cat
ran to the cotton will pay one.quarter
of the value Of the bales to the partner
who was the proprietor Of the injured
leg."-LOndon Telegraph.

1ompostuous Jupiter.

Careful study Of the planet Jupiter
has afforded some rather interesting
figures concerning its rate. Or rather
rates. Of rotation. These do not affect
the round numbers in which the equa-
toria1 velocity Of !upiter's rotation is
usually stated-viz. about 2S.OO0 miles
per hour. But they furnish additional
proof that the motions visible on the
great planets surface are not uniform
from year to year. For about twelve
years the equatorial region appears to
have experienced an acceleration Of
velocity. Relatively to the surface
some thirty degrees north or south
Jupiter's equator PUSHES ahead with
hurricane speed. between 200 and 300
miles an hour.-Cincinnati Commercial

EYE STEAM.
First Felt Not In the Eyes, but In thu
Organ That Is Weakest.

No human organ. except possibly the
heart. is called Oh tor such hard and
continuous activity. Even the most
musical car is never taxed bc;oltl the
three or Tour hours or u WagnerHu
opera and at the worst is rested by
frequent intermlssiunS. The brain,
even III the case OF professional men.
Is called Oh tor only six to eight hours
Of work day. But we use our eyes
in business ail day and then all even
ing in our amusements. In point OF
fact. the heart itself is less severely
taxed.
The eye has, to be sure. a most mar
Vicious strength. AS long as its mech
auism remains measurably correct 1t
seldom or never gives out and its vi
tality is supreme. But when to the
strain Of near work in artificial light
are added defects in its own nlechan'
ism even tins wonderfully adaptable
and hardy servant gives symptoms OF
strain.
The brain is generally our first in
former. 1t automatically supplies the
ellt. ~ that tlogs the lens muscle to its
ceaSeIess task. and it is in the closest
possible sympathy with the retina. the
sensitive plate on which all vision is
recorded. The brain declares it's ex-
haustion in headache and vertigo. The
masterful eye. so to speak. stunts off
its suering upon the nearest neighbour
Yet in many cases even the brain
gives no direct symptom. 1t is the
central organ. the highly vital and
complex master. Of the entire system.
and it also has Il superior way OF pass

rule seems to be that eye strain de-
clares itself first in the organ which is

SCIENCE AND LIFE

The man or woman today who does
not nave some general knowledge Of
science is not able to keep up with
and enjoy modern life. In times gone
by an education did not matter so
much to the average man. IL was to ne
used by the lawyer and doctor and
minister, but If the farmer or the
laboring man had it, he looked upon
IL as he would have a silk hat or
a diamond pin, a thing TO be treasur-
ed and used upon rare occasions, but
of no account for the everyday af-
fairs of life. Then the schools gave
language, mostly the kind that had
no effect upon ones speech, history,
mathematics, chiefly, but today n
new factor has entered into educa-
tion-science has taken a high place
in the schools because 1t lies at the
bottom Of modern progress.

of Vital Statistics, lectured in the
College Chapel, Saturday evening,
taking the place of DR.. Mccormack,
who was announced but detained Ow-

court against certain violaters OF the
health laws of the state.
A good audience, both Of students
and citizens, was present and gave
unusual attention TO the lecture which
was splendidly illustrated.
DR.. Heller, being a member of the
State Board of Health and STATE
Registrar, speaks with authority. He

NOT SELLING THEIR LIBERTY

A prosperous orchardist said 10
me: II fear | must import labor or
abandon my property. Yesterday. on
my visit to my orchard, found mules
standing like statues to their plows,
hoes lying where dropped, sacks Cf
peas and fertilizer open to inipend-
ing rain. In nearby woods men shout
ed aud dogs yelped. When had
waited an hour, my hands straggled
back. AS, according to my custom, !
handed their foreman the bag con-
tanning their wages, ] said quietly:
DO you men think 1t right to quit
work for rabbit-hunting? Every
plower and hoer stood a. sullen at
tention. A stalwart youth said snap
ply: L don't care what ! am doing,
| stop when my dog jumps a rabbit
A woman, with dinner-bucket on her
arm, shouted we don't sell our
liberty A noble sentiment however
misapplied. l took off my hat to her,
and left my money in their hands.
Now | am willing to teach fruit Guilt
walton to incompetents, and pay them
to learn, for | am an orchard enthusi-
asst. But what am ] to do with unreli-
ables, with men conscientiously I'M

ability synonymous? These are strong,
fine fellows, with a rock-bottom Of
character, but they have not been
educated Alright; they have not been
educated to their. environment, to love
and reverence nature and natures
gifts, and tho work that is to their
hand. They look on hoeing and plow-
ing, sowing and reaping, as mental
toll. They should be taught that It
is sacred service to help the earth
bring forth her increase"

here would lead her flock into an

maxims were originally taken from
a leaflet issued by the National Cash
Register Company, Dayton, o.
/. Good health can't be bought at
the drug store.

and eat too much.
3. Don't take medicine for sleep
lessness, take a bath.
T. A healthy man needs at least
eight glasses of water a day.

and thinking tomorrow.
6. When you don't know what to
eat. eat nothing.
T. Don't permit your palate TO get
your stomach into trouble.
s. Fancy food is generally poor
food.
o. The tighter your house the tight
er your colds.
10. If you can't work outdoors. sleep
out doors.
IL. Halve your food, double your
drinking water, treble your exercise,
quadruple your laughter.

total assets reduced to cash were

the net assets to other creditors were

1t should be further noted that Of
