Sculptor Changed Desfrtn.
While we are all sensitive to ridi
oiF'e, artists aro particularly so.
Quite recently a celebrate 1 sculptor
was modeling a statue of one of the
most noted officers of the civil war —
the horse prancing, the general with
his hat off, and tho rest of the ordi
nary conception, with the added fea
ture that a soldier was leading the
horse by the bridle and carrying in
|ils hand a branch of laurel. The
branch was first moleded as a wreath,
hut a negro messenger looking at it
asked the artist what the "life pre

BOTH FEEL
What Proper Food Does for Both
Mind and Body.
Physical health, mental health, in
deed almost everything good on this
earth depend in great measure upon
proper food.
Without health nothing is worth
while and health can be won almost
every time by proper feeding on the
scientific food Grape-Nuts.
A California trained nurse proved
this: "Three years ago I was taken
very sick, my work as a trained nurse
having worn me out both in body and
mind, and medicine failed to reliev^
me at all. After seeing a number of
physicians and specialists and getting
no relief l was very much discouraged
and felt that I would die of general
nervous and physical collapse.

RARE HONOR FOR BOY.
Vivthful Life Safer Given a Medal of
Honor.
A rare honor for one of his age lias
been conferred on Stanley M. Cox, the
12-year-old son of Arthur M, Cox of
Brooklyn, by the Humane Society of
Massachusetts, in awarding hi% a
bronze medal for bravery in sav^g
life. Tiie medals of the society aiV
anly given where unusual personal
risk is assumed in effocting a rescue,
and they are only conferred after a
thorough investigation.
The singular courage and coolness
displayed by young Cox in saving the
life of Frank Deveau. a boy of eight,
at Hast Gloucester, Mass., on Aug. 13
last, fulfilled the conditions upon
which the society gives its decora
tions. Cox was coming down Bass
lliver in his sailboat, when he heard
a cry close by and saw that Deveau
Stanley M. Cox.
had fallen Into the water. The lad
was sinking for the third time, and
Cox. without a moment’s hesitation,
jumped into the water to assist him.
The river is very deep at this point,
where it empties into the ocean, and
the current swift and treacherous.
Cox grabbed the boy. and. secdng that
it would be practically impossible to
reach the shore with his burden
against the current, devoted his
strength mainly to keeping afloat.
The watrh at the life-saving station
at the mouth of the river had wit
nessed the attempted rescue and came
to Cox’s assistance. Both boys be
came unconscious when they wore
taken from the water. Cox soon re
covered, but the Deveatt lad was be
lieved to be dead and was not re
vived for an hour.
Varied Freaks of Nature.
The season of 1903 will go on record
as bringing the experience of more
varied freaks of nature than any year
within the memory of the present gen
eration at Stafford Springs, Conn.
The same week that the first snow
storm appeared there came to the lo
cal market strawberries—open-field,
second crop productions—string beans
of fine quality from bean stalks that
had already borne their regular crop,
and sweet corn more tender and juicy
than much that came out during the
proper season.
Birds' Apartment House.
The weaving grosbeaks of Africa
build their nests on the apartment
house plan. Out of bushman’s grass
tuey weave a wide umbrella shaped
structure, impervious to rain. Around
the eaves of this they make their
nests, which touch one another, but
have separate entrances.
Old Fire-fighting Implements.
Joseph Williamson of Augusta, Me.,
has some relics of the olden times
in the shape of two tire buckets such
as were used in fighting fires before
even the primitive hand tubs came
into use. The buckets were the prop
erty of Mr. Williamson’s grandfather,
Joseph Williamson of Belfast, when
he was a member of tlie fire depart
ment of that place in 1821.

EASY METHOD OF SUICIDE.
Holding the Breath Will End Life in
Short Time.
That it is possible to commit sui
cide by simply boldine- one's breath
has been clearly proved by a despon
dent Norwegian, who recently killed
himself in th-is very unusual manner.
When he determined to die he closed
his mouth and nostrils and by mere
force of will prevented his lungs from
uolng their proper work.
This case is the more remarkable,
as there has long been a popular no
tion that no human being could by
mere wiH power stop the action of
the lungs for more than one or two |
minutes. For this reason it has at
tracted much attention, and a French
writer, commenting on it, says:
"To persons of good taste who are
weary of this life this method of
j committing suicide will certainly com
I mend itself, one reason being because
| the body is not disfigured thereby, and |
another because the act can be corn- i
mitted in any place and at any time,
it Is true that sensitive or nervous
persons will never be able to kill
themselves in this manner, for, sim
ple as it seems, the act of retaining
one's br-ath until death comes ran
only be performed by one who is eith
er unusually phlegmatic or endowed
.vith a very strong will.”—New York
Herald.
No Vowels in It.
Many places have curious names,
hut apparently there is only one place
which has a name without any vowels.
That place is the little hamlet of Ws,
near Paris. Ws being an unpro
nounceable name, the inhabitants of
the hamlet have transformed it Into
“d'Us.” but this change has not been
sanctioned legally, and on all the
official records the name Ws still ap
pears. The hamlet has 117 inhabi
ants, and its sole attractions are the
Chateau d’Osny. which has been for
many years in the possession of Ed
mond About’s family, and the Chateau
de Vigny, which Is one of the best
specimens of the Renaissance style of
architecture.
So far as is known, there is rnly
one person in Europe at present who
has a name without any vowels, and
that is M. Srb. the Mayor of Prague.

that in several instances hoys, drunk

f THE RABBIT S.IOT HIM.
TableB Turned on Hunter Reynolds
When He Laid His Gun Down.
Milton Reynold* cf Livingston
y*anor. N. Y.. took his gun the other
nay and went out after rabbits. A
big one got up. and Reynolds chased
it until it disappeared in ». hole in the
ground.
The hunter laid his gun down, got
a pole, and punched it in the hole to
route the rabbit out. The gun was
cocked all ready for Reynolds to pick
it up and shoot the rabbit the moment
it came from the hole.
The cotton-tail came out with a sud
den rush. Its first bound landed it
on the gun. Its fore feet struck the
trigger. The gun was discharged,
both barrels going off at once.
Reynolds was in a stooping position,
his dog near him. He was just far
enough out of line of the gun to es
cape the full force of the charges in
it, but, two lingers were torn from his
left hand, his left calf was badly
lacerated by shot, and his left cheek
filled with them.
One of the dog's legs was shot off.
The rabbit went on and is still at
large.—New Yrork Sun.

Trouble in the Family.
Dr. Bloomfield, who was for some
years bishop of London, became a
widower rather early in life and soon
afterward married again. By his first
wife he had several children, and his
second wife was a widow, who also
had several children by her first hits
band. In due lime other olive branches
came to the bishop and his wife, and
there now being three distinct clans
of youngsters it can readily be imag
ined that a good deal of noise and at
unies unseemly quarrels disturbed the
episcopal palace at Fulham.
One morning while the bishop wa?
engaged in studying some philosophi
cal work, his wife burst into the li
brary and exclaimed: ‘Hurry, hurry!’
“What is the matter, my dear?” he
asked anxiously.
“There's a good deal the matter,’
was the reply, “and there’s not a
moment to be lost, for your chihlrer
are after murdering mine, and now
they’re on the point of strangling ou:
children.”-—New York Herald.

there was at first only a remot*

Old-Time School Fees.
One of the old schoolmarms of Sal is

weeks ($2.40), which was a deductior
of twelve cents for absences, wai
found recently, dated 1824. It was t'n<
custom in those days for pupils tt
carry their fuel with them and it was
probably done in this case. A bill ol
“Master Walsh," dater ten years later
for tuition of the same pupil, gives th«
price as $4.33 for schooling of thirteer

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and intel
lectual needs of the charges committed to
their care, but they also minister to their
bodily needs.
With so many children to take care of

these wise and prudent Si>ters have found

Dr. Hartman receives many letters from
Catholic Sisters from all over the United

Dr. S. D. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
