Flnilij-. he knows that- individuals have done ^ without food in any for-in for weeks ^ and have gained rather tlum hist h.y the .esdierience, says the nii!tiui(;re His love for'food is so deeply in- grained, how-cver, that when Ms mule, cpw and dog refuse to eat, Ins wits at once cease to function. He reasons ^ in this way: “When these creatures were wg M they ate heartily. Now tlmi they refuse to eat, they must be ill. if 1 ^ I am. to make them well again, I must by some ineans force them to eat.” 5 ^ So it Is wmen man himself is indis- ^ posed by reason of some indiscretion. He does not wish to eat. The very thought of food is an abomination. But his wife, Iwhose-,love is greater than her reason, saj's to him: “Roney, you simply must eat in order to keep up your strength, and I have prepared a number of dishes yoM like in order to tempt yonr appetite.” ' The little will tiiat remains'to him* after one glance at the table urges him to flee, but bis gi'eedy palate pre vails and he eats heartily. Tiis result is that his overburdened-system, striv ing with all its cunning to get hiih back to uoi-mal, must ouit its task for a while and take care of the new cargo he has shoveled aboard. .Nature i knows its business, bnt is badly Imndi- ' Gapped when those it desires to save persist in their madness.

Yet lliey are highly esteemed hi other parts of the ^ world, says tonclon Answers. In the Apennines they are used to ^ guard sheep. One man in each village , acts as shepherd to the community ,^5 and iis allowed a sheep pig to assist | liim when the animals are out at pas- • ture. The man’s taslr-rs an easy one— j - hemiay aiimse himself by playing the flute or he may even sleep for a few hours while the ing faithfully guards tiie flock. In the evening the sr.me trustw'orthy guardian sedulously sin gles out the sheep belonging to this house or that and never makes a mis take. Where truffles grow pigs are used to ' find and roof them up. If carefully (trained a pig will keep for his master ail the truffles he uproots. In Ireland, of course, the pig’s' its have always been recogniked. There he is the “giiitleman that pays the rint.’^ Pretty Medieval Legend The'story of the custom of convey ing a kiss by a cross, is tliat there was oilce a young man in the daj’s of _Jmighthood and ehivairy and glit tering ' deeds, named Sir Ronald .dii Bois, who was senr 02 a dangerous inissioii and was taken prisoner, ile had left a t home a fair and beautiful sweetheart, and it was his desire to send he^ some message. A-bribed mes senger in’omised to take some symbol to her but refused, to bear a written message for fear he would be taken prisoner and .the letter found. Thxe ImigUt therefore sen t hei* a m etal button from h is coat on which he iiad scratched four letters at the four points of an X. The letters were k, i, s, s. Since this famous message, oth er lovers have uSed the X to stand for kisses, but omit the letters at 'each point.
