HE A C()..1rut li t.Mlnnennolls.MInn Tax on Cats, It Is really difficult to understand why the cats have escaped their stiare of public responsibility. Few thinkers will dispute the statement that Buch animals are entirely too numerous. The weil-fed, well-groomed cat, that stays at home and attends to its knitting by the family hearth Is not a menace to the public wel fare, but who will defend the sad eyed tomcat with the tragic voice that sings wild dirges at dreary mid night's cheerless hour? And his name IB legion. One cat of that description Is a greater nuisance than a dozen dogs. And It may also be cald of the cat that It Is a born thief and porch climber, and It Is also a vehicle for disease germs and many other things whlrh are unpleasant. If cats were taxed, the useful ones would survive and the masterless ones would have to die the death; and there are few who will argue that such a consum mation Is not devoutly to be wished for.

To do this the right kind of food, of course, is necessary. The body manufactures poisons in the stomach and intestines from certain kinds of food stuff and unless sufficient of the right kind is used, the injurious ele ments overcome the good. "My grandmother, 71 years old," - writes a N. Y. lady, "had been an ln Yalfii for 18 years from what was called consumption of the stomach and bowels. The doctor had given hep up to die. '1 saw so much about Grape-Nuts that I persuaded grandmother to try It She could not keep anything on ber stomach for more than a few min utes. - "Sh began Grape-Nuts with only a teaspoonful. As that did not distress her and as she could retain it, she took a little more until she could take all of four teaspoonfuls at a meal. "Then she began to gain and grow strong and her trouble in the stomach was gono entirely. She got to enjoy good health for one so old, and we know Grape-Nuts saved her life. ''The doctor was astonished that Instead of dying she got well, and without a drop of medicine after she began, the Grape-Nuts." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

They had Just moved into the pretty farmhouse a few days before the things told of in this story happened. There were Papa Brown, Mamma Brown, Bulger Brown (a little boy) and Sis sy 'Brown (a little girl). Now, before I go any farther, I must tell you that Bulger's real, sure enough name was not Bulger; It was Franklyn James. And Sissy Brown's real sure-enough name was not Sissy, but was Stella May. But as Papa and Mamma Brown always called them Bulger and Sissy it is better for me to do the same. So, let them be known in this story which Is a very short one as Bulger and Sissy. Well, on the third day after the Browns had moved into their new country home Bulger and Sissy went out into the big yard to play. And after they had explored every inch of the yard they decided to investigate the barnyard. And it was such loads of fun to chase the big rooster about the barnyard, and to hear the hens cackle as it they were quarreling with them for their mischief. Then they visited the pig pen. And such a fun ny lot of little piggies there were in it, too, trotting about tails twisted into knots over their backs after a very fat mother had grunted, grunted, every minute, and who looked toward Bulger and SUsy with a distrustful glance. Then there was nothing new for Bulger and Sissy about the house, yard and barnyard. And they stood looking at each other, wondering where they should go. Bulger, being five years old, spoke first. "Let's go down yonder." And he pointed to a line of timber about a quarter of a mile from the house. Sissy, being four years old, trusted to her big brother's Judgment and said: ' "All wight, buver." Then away the two totltngs went, hand In hand, toward the dark woods. "It's very big an' dang'rouB," ex plained Bulger, pointing to the line of timber "Maybe bears are there." Sissy held tighter to Bulger's hand, not fearing even bears while safely guarded by him. "But no bears will bover us for I won't let "em," went on Bulger. And then they reached a few of the outside, straggling trees. "Oh, it isn't so very big an' dark, is it?" asked Bulger. "No, it's Just bufl-ful," said Sissy. But still she clung tightly to Bulger's hand. And so they walked about and about, going a little deeper and a little deeper into the woods. And then it became a little darker and they could not see so far about them, and Bulger decided they would better return to their home. "I dess we'd better do home, Bulver," said Sissy, seeing the uncertainty In her broth er's face. "Yes, it's mos' dinner time," said Bulger, not wishing Sissy to know that he was getting a bit afraid of the lonely woods. And so they started out to go home, but, having forgotten Just which way they had come, they went in the wrong direction. And so they walked and walked, growing so tired at last that Bulger said that he would have to sit down and rest a bit. And all the while they had been walking both Bulger and Sissy had been afraid, but neither owned it to the other. While they sat on tho mossy bank of a little brooklet Sissy fell asleep, her head in Bulger's lap. Then Bul ger's blue eyes grew heavy, and he, too, fell into slumber, forgetting where he was and that there might be bears In the woods. And there is no knowing how long the two little Browns might have Slept In the woods or whether or not they might have come to harm, or have been forever lost, or whether at night the birds might have felt pity for them and covered them with leaves; but about half an hour after they had fallen asleep their own dear mother found them, and, lifting Sissy in her arms and calling gently to Bul ger to wake, she kissed each and said: "Thank God, I found my dear little babes safe in the wood." "And Bulger and Sissy were thankful to be found, too, and promised never to go away from home again without their mamma's consent. Washington Star. DEPARTMENT. NELSON AND TUB COXSWAIN, Just before the battle o( Trafalgar a mall was sent from the English fleet, and word was passed that it might bo the last chance to write be fore the expected engagement. ' The lotters had been collected from the ships, the letter bags were on the ves sel which was to take them, and she bad gone some distance on her way, under full sail, when Lord Nelson saw a midshipman approach and speak to Pasco, the signal officer. Then Nelson showed the side ot his nature which so otten won the sail ors' hearts. Pasco uttered an exclamation of august and stamped his toot in evi dent vexation. The Admiral called him and asked hlni what was the matter. "Nothing which need trouble your lordship," was the reply. ; "You are not the man to lose your temper for nothing," rejoined. Nel son. "What was it?" "Well, if you must know, my lord, I will tell you. You see that coxs wain?" pointing to one of the most active of the petty officers. "We have not a better man on the Victory, and the message which put me out was this: I was fold that he was so busy receiving and getting off his mall bags that he forgot to put his own letter to his wife into one ot them, and he has just discovered it In his pocket." "Hoist a signal to bring her back!" was Nelson's instant command. "Who knows that he may not fall in action to-morrow? His letter shall go with the rest." That was Nelson all over. Wash ington Star. SMART GIRL3. The boys of this countrv must not get the idea that they are the only smart fhlnss in It. There is a girl In Mississippi who lost both hands three years ago, but has learned to do good typewriting with her toes. There is a girl in Ohio with a wooden foot who plays football and runs races and beats all the boys. In Wisconsin a girl of twelve years ot ago swam a horse across a river and saved a passenger train from disaster. Michigan has a girl ot fourteen who can do any sura in mathematics you give her and not be over ten seconds about it. Penn sylvania has one of eleven years who can learn and repeat any chapter in the Bible in twenty minutes. Delaware has a miss, now sixteen years old, who went Into the grocery business when she was only ten, and at the present date she is making $2000 a year, and Connecticut has one of fifteen who has traded horses and got the best of it over forty times. The American boy is pretty cute, but the American girl isn't going to be left very far behind in the race. New Haven Register. A LITTLE GIRL'S FEAT. Little Miss Evelyn Albee, of Alna Centre, may deservedly be called a heroine. A few days ago, while play ing near an open well, she accident ally stepped in. The well was eigh teen feet deep, with six feet of water. Her playmate heard the splash, but was too frightened to call for assist ance. Miss Evelyn, who is not six years old yet, was equal to the occa sion and clambered to the top, unaid ed and unharmed. "How did she do It?" Is the general question asked, but no one but the lady herself knows, and she wishes to forget it. That she wasn't hurt in some way was truly remarkable. Kennebeo Journal. A NEW GAME. The youngsters of Harlem evolved recently a game that is enjoying great popularity among them. A coin is placed on a crack in the side walk and the two players stand op posite each other and at an equal dis tance from the crack, usually upon the it one. A rubber ball is then aimed and thrown at the coin and caught on the bounce by the oppos ing player. The coin, or its equiva lent, becomes the possession of the player hitting it. It is a gambling game, of course, but that is probably what gives it the vogue it enjoys. New York Sun. THE COMPOSITION OF A ROCKET.

China's proposed new constitution has been proclaimed to the people. While it Is open to much criticism from the Western viewpoint It Is such an enormouB advance In China that its defects may be overlooked. In any event, it Is only a beginning and If brought into successful operation it will be Improved by tne most pa tient people on earth. It is remarkable that the granting of this constitution is the voluntary act of the Chinese rulers. That nine years Is given for its gradual intro duction is characteristic of the Chi nese Empire. A Nation that has en dured for so many centuries as China need not be in haste to change its governmental forms. But of one thing we may be sure. The Constitution in China Is the be ginning of a new era, In which Occi dental civilization shall have a larger part. The awakening has begun. We may not anticipate a duplication ot Japanese developments, for the Chi nese nature differs in Important par ticulars, but we may expect as wonderful metamorphosis, with more faithfulness in copying the American 'model.

Sir James Grant ot Canada, who delivered the closing address at the meeting of the British association, Is seventy-six years old, but has all the vigor of a man of fifty. It is a remarkable fact that Sir James, tor many years the most fa mous ot Canadian doctors, attributes his own recovery of youth to a sim ple and Ingenious little machine which, after forty years ot experi ment, he discovered last year. He delivered a full account of It to the psychological section. The instrument, called a neuros trone, for which the electrical force is provided by a dry cell, acts direct ly on the Inactive centers, which be come largely poisoned by noxious gases as people grow older. Clean ing them out by electricity in conse quence adds new vigor to the system, and greatly 'lengthens the span of life. . .
