DOES CAT THINK WITH FEET7
Ability Always to Land on Thorn
Seems to Point to Natural
Conclusions.

There Is nothing especially striking
about the feet of a cat except its abil-
ity always to land on them. Hold q
young cat by its feet short distance
from the ground for few seconds and
then let go. The cats back, being
heavier than it's feet, should strike tho
ground first. But it doesn't. Just a.
the cat is being let go it gives quick
upward thrust with it's chest and az
its feet are freed they swing under
1t so it lands on them.
In the case of the young cat that
has never experienced this before, It

COLO Fringe Trimming.

Do you remember the time when
the mere mention of fringe as trim
ming for gowns caused you to curl UT
your lips and elevate your nose? DC
not distort your features when you
read of gold fringe trimming an eve
ming gown of point d'esprit, for it is
most effective and really enables the
gown to be described at gorgeous
The fringe is used around the bottom
of the skirt, in a diagonal line across
the front of the bodice and along the
edge of the flowing sleeves of tulle.

indian Workers In the Country.

The great mass of the Indian work
ers in the United States are engaged
in a comparatively small number of
occupations. The latest official figures
show that 1874 per cent of the total
number of gainfully employed Indians
are in seven occupation groups-agri-
cultural laborers, 35.5 per cent; farm
ers and stock raisers, 1872 per cent:
lumbermen, raftsmen and woodchop-
pers, "a per cent; laborers in manu-
featuring and transportation. 6.S per
cent; launderers and laundresses, 10
per cent, and servants and walters, &c
per cent.

doesn't know that 1t Is going to be
dropped. If 1t were long drop, there
would be time to think, but in the
short drop the cat must act and act
Immediately. In fact, it Is really be-
forehanded. The natural conclusion
then Is that this faculty in the cat ID
located in its feet. 1t Is inherent in
them. It wouldn't be anything for q
cat to turn over this way after 1t 10
mature, but 1t is a different thing that
a cat does 1t without anybody ever
having shown him how.

,r,iUS|C AND HEALTH
Influence Was Recognized Even
in Biblical Times.
Through Medium Of Nervous System
Marvellous Changes, Physical and
Chemical, Are Brought About
by TonaI Vibrations.

The power of music to influence the
health of the listener has been recog-
nized from early times and became
historical in the attempts OF David to
drive out Saul's distemper. WeDbe-
lieve no one has been bold enough to
ascribe any direct influence of tonal
vibration upon the material OF the
body, but through the medium OF the
nervous system marvellous changes,
physical and chemical, come to
pass, and the effects of the art,
which, above all others, plays upon
the emotions, must certainly be
more than trifling. Even the un.
musical, those who are not es-
pecially susceptible to sweet sounds,
are affected differently by Jig or q
funeral march.
national society of musical thera-
peutics was founded last year and the
names of a number of physicians ap-
pear on the list of members. A maya
zine for the purpose of helping along
the movement to use music as a means
to health has been started, and 1t
seems as If the subject would be
looked into deeply and the place of
music as a therapeutic agency placed
in its proper pigeonhole, for reference
in suitable cases.
One wonders what is the general in
fuence of the present ragtime craze
upon the mental and physical condi-
ton of it's hearers. Being in no wise
serious, but, on the contrary, happy
go-lucky in mechanism and perform
ance, 1t certainly cannot depress vital
ity and is far better in this respect
than the popular melodies Of gen.

a few exceptions, tinged with melan.
choly. The African jingles of the
present day create an emotional at.
mosphere of restlessness and excite.
ment which is typically American, and
which is opposed to health only so far
as our national restlessness and lack
of poise tend to make us a people

Why the Stars Twinkle.

Although the twinkling of the stars
Is commonly referred to, they do not
twinkle at all. The stars are really
suns that throw out light, just as our
sun lights the earth.
When the rays Of light from the
stars strike the air which surrounds
the earth they have to pierce many
little particles which are always float
ing about in the atmosphere. 1t Is this
interference between US and the
source of light which gives the ap
pearance of twinkling.
On certain nights the light of the
stars will appear SO bright and cleai
as to attract particular attention. This
is because the air is so clear there is
less interference than usual with the
rays of light in reaching the earth.

the face by pinning locks of 1t at each
side to form what are called water
waves" One way Of doing this is to
dampen the hair and comb it back. A
band is then bound tightly about the
head and the hair pulled forward in
curves by means of the toilet comb.
The waves are then pinned with small
wire pins in the position left by the
comb.
The back hair may be arranged in a
psyche knot, as shown in the picture,
or in three fiat coils across the back
of the head. Or it may be worn in a
high coil at the top of the head. In
any case the band is not taken off
until the hairdress is finished.
Narrow velvet bands about the hair
are very fashionable, and they are
also very useful in holding the hair in
place.

There light burned. Myra gazed
about her In CONSERVATION. 1t held
half a dozen cots and as many reclin-

"Ah!" spoke a sudden brisk voice,
you come back" and Myra noticed
the speaker as a professional looking
young man, who at once called some
body from outside. Two men appeared
and bore her guide away against his
will. The young man stared strangely
at Myra.

looked serious and troubled.

the big crowded Union depot.
"Rushville," she spoke, approaching
one of the many ticket selling win

shady side of the car.
Myra let her mind drift. Then she
must have dozed. 1t was quite dusk

.z-x e A.. Cxzx1 Dbl e Hz.1xl

Hon. Sam'l. G.. Dupree, special
agent of the State Board of Health
visited St. Joseph this week to con-
fer with the several physicians and
the local registrar, Mr.. ]. S. John
ston, relative to registration of all
births and deaths in Tensas parish.
1t is the purpose of the State Health
Board to get an accurate list of all
births and deaths as they occur in
the State with known causes of the
latter, and toward that end has i'm
posed on physicians and midwives
the duty of reporting same to the
registrar, and has power to impose
a fine for noncompliance with this
law. The local registrar, Mr.. John
ston reports that the several ply
sicians of this parish are prompt in
making their reports, but the mid
wives are somewhat neglectful. 1t
is the wish of the registrar that
these reports be made promptly and
when same is not done it becomes
his duty to report delinquents.

KURDS APPRECIATED
MISSIONARIES WORK
Medical Care Brought Friend
ly Treatment at Urumia
From Fierce Raiders.

The medical work done by missionaries
among the Kurds around Urumis, Persia,
is one Of the factors which has resulted
in their being regarded in friendly light
by these reputed fieroe tribesmen when
the latter invaded the territory near
Urumia, according to a bulletin issued by
the Presbyterian Board Of Foreign Mis-
slons.
The flight Of 10000 refugees from Urumia
on the approach of Kurdish and Turkish
troops is described in a letter written
February 1 by the Rev. ]. II. Barnard,
an English missionary of the Archbishop
of Canterbury's Mission, who left In jan
uary.
"On the following morning CJanuary ~,
II was announced that Uruma was to be
evacuated and subjects of all the allied
Powers were warned to leave" he writes
| The Russian Vice Consul and troops left
that same evening, and we followed them
before daybreak. Your missionaries were
IN good spirits as far as their own posi-
tion was concerned, and in no way appre-
hensive They are favorabiy regarded
by most II not all of the neighboring
kurds, owing to the medical work they
have done for them. Moreover, when GER
tain hadjls OF Balo Cnear Urumia) were
sentenced to death after the Kurdish rid
ing in october, Doctor Shedd did what he
could TO mediate In their behalf, Il being
extremely doubtful n they were impll-
Gated in the affair. This was naturally
taken in good part by the Kurds, and II
was reported in Sui Bulak that Doctor
shedd had offered $4,000 for their release,
which probably proved a beneficial exag-
gerRtion.
Virtually tho entire Christian popula-
ton of the Urunl a plain and nelghborinE
districts were in flight aH we left. As far
as the eye could reach in both elections
there was constant stream of fugitives,
sometimes 80 dense that the road was
blocked. 1t was a dreadful sight and one
1 never want to see again. Many old peo-
pie and children died on tho way"
Hunger is facing the missionaries in
Syria, according to reports from the
American missionaries at Beirut. The
Americans and the Italians are the only
ones remaining. the British. French, Rus
sian and Danish having been forced to
leave. Commerce Is at a standstlll and
300 or 500 hungry people crowd to the
mission daily for food, which Is bccom-
ing scarce.
