witnessed the performance of a little
play in a private house in which his
hostess had taken the leading part met
the lady as she came from behind the

Relieve Liver His!

why Men eat more Gnsn Women.
That men eat five or six per cent
more than WOmen-nOt because they
are gluttons, but because they actually
require that much more nourishment
appears as result of an investiga-
tion made in the nutrition laboratory
of the Carnegie institute at Washing
ton by Francis G. Benedict and L. e.
Eames, says the Literary Digest. The
reason for the discrepancy seems to
be that women have a smaller proper
tion of active tissues than men OF
the same weight and more inactive
material, such as fat. The investiga-
ton disclosed that the average WON
an generates only 1856 heat units in
the "a hours, as against 1858 pro-
duced by the man, or about two per
cent more for the latter per pound OF
body weight. When groups we're COM
pared, after careful selection of indi-
viduals of nearly the same height and
weight, the men were found to pro
duce about IL per cent more heat than
women.

Tommy's Time OF Happiness
That Stayed With Him for
Many Days.

"Sh-s-wee; sh-s-weel" squeaked the
saw, as 1t gnawed its way slowly into
O knotty limb.
It was hot day, and the saw was
dull, and the boy was 3 mite Of fell
low.
"Sh-s-wee; sh-s-wee!" And all the
while the thoughts of the boy were
surging out to the other boys, who
we're exploding torpedoes and crackers
on the village streets, and to the big
parade at midday and the fireworks
In the evening.
AS soon as this limb and three 9TH
ers were done, he would be free to go.
He looked at them critically, and cal
culated how long 1t would take.
He would not have any torpedoes or
crackers to explode, but he could look
at those Of the other boys and listen
to the noise. And it would not matter
30 very much Il they did laugh at his
clothes. Fourth Of July didn't come
very often, and. he could stand little
jeering for the pleasure of the holi-
day.
He did not feel any pity for himself,
or think 1t hard that he must go into
the woods every morning to gather
limbs, and then spend the greater part
Of each day cutting them into convent
ent pieces for the stove; but he did
feel sorry that his mother could not
spare half day from her washing and
ironing, or even time to go out with
him to listen to the delightful snap
ping of the torpedoes and crackers.
At last there was sufficient wood for
the day, and with bounding heart but
shrinking form he stole along the side
walks, watching and listening eagerly,
though keeping himself as much as
possible in the background. Up and
down one street after another he
moved, finally pausing at yard that
was delightfully."- noisy with explosives,
The tight board fence was too high
to peep over without raising himself
On tiptoes, but the gate was several
inches lower. Here he stopped and
caught his breath at sight of boy
holding lighted match to a giant
cracker.
The boy was Roy Green, the doctors
son, and with him were Bobby and
baby Edith. He knew them all by
sight, and his eyes shone with admi
ration at the cool composure with
which Roy was doing his lighting.
He had never been spoken TO by
Roy. His heart gave sudden bound
at a cordial: Hello, there, Tommy!
Won't you come in and help US fire
these things OFF,"
Tommy fairly gasped at the idea
and his gaze stole rapturously to the
crackers lying about the ground. and
to the big box Of torpedoes.

"You Mustn't Leave Us This Way"

en- of Tommy's father as being one OF
the brave men who had died for the
country.
When the crackers and torpedoes
were exploded, and Tommy was turn
ing back toward the gate, Roy caught
him protestingly by the arm.
Look here, Tommy" he cried; you
mustn't leave us this way. We're go
ing to have a game of croquet, and
then mamma will have lunch for us in
the summer house. After that we'd
like to have you in our carriage in the
parade. l know papa will be pleased,
He said your father was in his com
pany, and that he was one of the best
men. It's right that you should be
in the parade. And we'd like to have
you go with US to the fireworks this
evening, too. Papa has charge of them,
you know, and maybe he'll let US help
a little"
So Tommy remained and played GRO
quet, and had lunch with them in the
summer house, and went with them in
the parade.
Then he hurried home and told his
mother about it, but returned in time
TO help carry the fireworks to the
square in front Of the courthouse, and
to assist in placing skyrockets and
mines and pin wheels in position for
firing, and to do many of those impor-
tant things, which so delight the heart
Of boy.
And his conspicuous position in the
proceedings of the day so impressed
the other boys that they ceased to teer
him from that time on, and took him
into their games as a comrade in
good standing.

Hunger and Thirst,

While many men OF science have
contended that the sensation of hunger
has its seat in the stomach and that of
thirst in the throat, the italian Valenti
holds the view that the seat of both
sensations is situated in the gullet. He
found that a cocaine injection in the
esophagus (the channel from the mouth
to the stomach) resulted in immediate
suppression of the sensations of both
hunger and thirst.
Savages have long known that the
chewing Of cocoa leaves renders the
gullet insensitive and destroys any de-
sire for food or drink.-New York
Tribune.
