KINDRED, Cashier, Why? One reason, the New York Evening Mail remarks, is that science has done comparatively lit tle against the noncommunicable dis-' eases. Then medical science has nursed along weak constitutions which in earlier periods would have succumbed in infancy or adolescence, and has carried them across the boundary of middle age. A third reason, of course, is the increasing complexity of life, which brings heavier burdens and stresses and overwhelms some persons as soon as the impetus of their youthful vitali ty is spent. A fourth reason is that people do not replenish this vitality and prepare for the problems of mid dle life. There is really nothing cheaper than the attainment and preserva tion of good health. Fresh air and sleep are nature's free gifts, and bodily activity a normal impulse of the blood, while it costs less to eat frugally than to overeat.

Test in," said Dr. Caroline Hedger, in chaise of the field nurses. "The place for a baby to rest is in a cot or a bed. It should never be rocked. There is no more reason for tossing, a baby about in order to rest than there is for swinging about a grown up."—Chicago Dispatch to New York World. WORLD'S LARGEST LOOM. At Rodewich, in Saxony, the cen ter of the German textile industry, there has been set up what is thought to be the largest weaving loom in the world. This huge crank loom is 77 feet long and 60 feet wide. It, stands 10 feet high and weighs 35: tons.

And here is a dog story which comes from the Journal's Skowhe gan correspondent. The story is of a fine young shepherd dog which has strong religious tendencies. He is the dog of Elmer Decker of Hinckley. Shep is persistent in his attempts to attend Sunday services. A late scheme of his is to get up very early Sunday morning, and call upon a neighbor who takes him to church in his carriage. On arriving Shep makes a practice of walking straight up the aisle to the platform, where he takes his place in the shodow of the pulpit. There, with his nose protruding by the corner, he can see what is going on at the sane time he is listening. The other day during the minis ter's long prayer an automobile came chugging and tooting along, much to the disturbance of Shep's Idea of the nicety of things. He rushed through the open door witU loud barking and scared the intruder away, but his manner of quieting the disturbance had a reviving effect upon the audience, and our corre spondent thinks the prayer must have been shortened.—Kennebec (Me.)

"These 'ere pigeons are to tell the people at 'ome 'ow things are goin'," he explained. "Every goal we score I'm goin' to let off a blue bird, and if the other side gets a goal a white 'un's going up. Supposin' they've scored a goal apiece at the finish, iblue 'un and a white 'un goes off to* jgether, and if there ain't no score, then the birds'!! 'ave to go 'ome with me." Unfortunately, a youth with aq .eye to fun took advantage of the fancier's attention being centered oq an exciting piece of play to liberate the whole of the birds. ".Now you've done it, young feU ler," said the old man, as he gazed i at the culprit. "It'll cost me six 'pence for a telegraft 'ome to stop 'em from 'aving the band out. All them pigeons goin' off together waa to be a sign as 'ow our chaps had laid out the referee."—Tit-Bits. ^CAPTURING" AN v -Mr One of the incidents of the last feeason in Dead Biver region that escaped press notice at the time was the fact that William Ledgyard of 'Boston and Albert Leavering of New York, then guests at Round Moun tain camps, attempted to capture an eagle and were unable to carry off the sky king alive. The furious bird made such good use of his beak and claws that the gentlemen were finally obliged to hold him under water until he was drowned, in order to demonstrate that one of them was not in reality a captive of the eagle. •From Maine Woods. u' 1? 4 'A #I-,f ^"u' :, '-,u v- s« 'f '•'.'.
