Doc kidnaps Kittens.

Muffy, tabby cat, at the home of
Carl P. Meyran, Los Angeles. made
move several days ago which re-
suited in the kidnapping of her family,
two blue-eyed kittens, by little fox
terrier dog. Muffy prefers to bring
up her family according to her own
ideas, and resents any Interference,
no matter how good ones intentions
may be. Neither does she take any
stock in those new-fangled ideas of
sanitation; SO when a neighbor deigned
to sprinkle flea powder on her offspring
she moved them to new home. This
came very near being Muffy's undoing,
for no sooner had she settled in the
new place than along came the little
fox terrier, who, having no family
took the kittens. Mrs. Muffy was
frantic until some one found and re.
stored her family to her.

LIKE "ANGEL AT THE GATE"
S~inburne In Gorgeous Array, APP
peared to Simple Villagers as
Flaming Apparition.

An amusing story Of Swlnburne is
told by Edmund Gosse. At the age of
twenty-three Swinburne was sent to
study history under Bishop Stubs,
who was then in charge of a country
parish In Essex. He arrived there on
Saturday and was excused attend
ance at Sunday morning church on the
ground that he must be tired with his
Journey.
He had breakfast in bed, but finding
< glorious morning he arrayed him
self in scarlet slippers and a light
crimson dressing gown, sauntered into
the garden and leaned pensively over
the gate, with his red hair flaming bril-
liantly in the sunlight.
The church bells were ringing and
the parishioners had all to pass the
parsonage gate to get to church. But
none of them dared to pass the fam
ing apparition, and all came to a halt.
The church bells stopped, but at the
instance of the vicar, who could not
believe that all the parishioners had
deserted him, were rung again.
At last the boldest man in the vii.
lage bolted past the gate and the rest
stampeded after him, Swinburne gaz.
ing at them in quiet wonder at their
strange method of going to church -

who, with her widowed mother, out
witted the English officers and men

were clever, cultivated and kindly wo.
men, simply aglow with patriotism;
and to read what they did and how

Harvard Scientists Assert II lie Neees.
sary to Restore the Nervous
Tone.

The refreshing influence Of the
weekly day Of rest" on a person sub
jected to the strenuous routine Of a
busy life is feature which he himself
can duly appreciate in the effects on
his feelings" and spirits" The eff
cheney OF the working man, the length
of the working day, the intersection of
pauses for rest in the schedule Of la
Dor for persons of different ages and
stations in life-questions of this sort
are constantly arising for solution on
a scientific basis. Not only in the
field of manual labor, but also in the
case of the school child, the Office boy,
the factory girl, the banker, and the
merchant, efficiency is the keynote OF
the times. Fatigue is the enemy of
efficiency; and to detect and compen-
cate for or overcome it is the duty
Of those concerned with the promo
ton of human welfare.
Harvard scientists have been max
ing a careful study of the whole ques-
ton of fatigue and efficiency from
physiological standpoint. A long Sc
ries of experiments have been made
on first year medical students who
were following a regular routine of
school work during six days of each
week.
The routine was interrupted week
ly by the Sunday recess, an lntereal
occupied variously by the students, but
in no case in precisely the manner of
the week days. The daily observations
made of these persons during several
weeks show that at the beginning Of
the week the nerve reaction tends to
be high, that from then until the end
of the week there is fairly continuous
decline, and that following the inter-
ruption of the routine by the inter-
vention of Sunday, it returns to the
original high point.
The decline is interpreted as a
cumulative result of general fatigue
incident to routine. What is, even
more significant, however, is the add
ed fact that a pronounced break In
the routine-such as the day of rest"
occasions-may bring about re-
turn of sensitiveness to high point,
or, in other words, it restores the
nervous tone.

WHAT TO DO WITH THIS BOY
Case Of Juvenile criminaIity In France
That May Well Puzzle the
Social Reformer.

Here is a little life story that more
wildly Eliminates the task Of the so
cial reformer than any number OF trear
tises. A couple Of nights ago boy OF
less than fifteen was discovered along
side the Seine by a couple of police
men. At first he refused to utter a
word. but eventually he narrated his
Odyssey. Eighteen months ago. when
he was barely thirteen, he surreptiti-
ously left his parents house in Paris,
taking with him sum of 500 francs.
With this money in his possession he
went to Brussels. where he was short
ly after arrested. The police conduct
ed him home, but be escaped again.
Taken back second time, he YVES ap-
prenticed to farmer. but promptly de-
parted on fresh adventures. Since then
he has existed by means of begging
and thieving. Two months ago he
stole couple of bicycles, and. mount
ing one and propelling the other, made
of for Rouen, where he sold one of the
mahchines, riding 70 Paris on the 9TH
er. This he sold in Paris, and lived on
the proceeds for time, until, shelter
less and without resources, he was
found by the police. What can the
sociologist, the penologist, or the phi
lanthropist do with 80 youthful and
precocious a criminal? The problem is
serious one in France, where juve-
nile crime is alaruingly on the In
crease.-Paris Correspondence London

Quality, Keynote of British Crops

Quality must always be the keynote
of British agIicultull as the area is
far too small to enable farmers to
grow the quantities Of produce that
the newer countries of the world can
yield; and in no connection is quality
of greater importance than that of the
cereal crops. Wheat, oats and barley
will occupy considerable portion of
the land, and the condition in which
they are put on the market substantial
ly affects the prices they realize.-Lon.

WAS M'COMBS' PLAN
HE URGED CONFERENCES WITH
BUSINESS LEADERS.
National chalrnNn Suggested Presl
dent Explain Hls Policy Clearly
So They Need Not Walt for
Congress to Act.

William F. McCombs, chairman Of
the national Democratic committee.
gave out statement that suggested
the reason why President Wilson con.
sented to see ]. P. Morgan and other
f1nanciers concerning the policies Of
the administration in regard to big
business.
Mr.. McCombs advised that the presi-
dent and leaders In congress decide
on their policy OF legislation and then
explain clearly to business men what
would be done, SO that the leaders in
the industrial and financial world
would be able to plan just as though
such legislation had been passed. Then
Mr.. McCombs thought, 1t would not
make much difference whether con-
gress continued In session or ad-
journed
THE congress has been in session
continuously since the inauguration OF
President Wilson with the exception
Of about one month" said Chairman
McCombs. Those who are not bitter
partisans freely will concede that the
Democratic party has made a record
Of brilliant legislative achievement.
There have been differences in the
party as to legislative measures, as
was quite natural. In each instance
the different points OF view were
proper subjects for argument. Moth
ing thus far, however, has happened
to render the party less cohesive
unit.
Much discussion has taken place as
to whether an immediate adjournment
should be had and business thereby
relieved Of the uncertainties of legisl-
ton None can doubt that continuous
discussion by congress of important
legislative matters without a well-de-
fined program may tend to disturb.
The Democratic majorities in the
house and in the senate, however, have
It thoroughly within their power to
cover the situation.
Having decided that certain gen.
eral measures are to be passed, 1t is
entirely possible to agree speedily
upon the form Of these measures.
In that event the actual time Of
passage of the bills will not be OF
much consequence because the coun-
try can adjust itself to what will hap
pen before the close of the session.
The Democrats at Washington are
thoroughly alive to the situation and
/ am sure that nothing will happen to
impede the orderly process of busi-
ness. Generally speaking, see no rea-
son why there should not be Demo
cratic victory this fall. The party has
thoroughly demonstrated its ability to
accomplish things constructive"
