Did you ever see a sickly baby with dimples? ? or a heal thy one without them?
 A thin baby is always deli cate. Nobody worries about a plump one.
 If you can get your baby plump, he is almost sure to be well. If you can get him well, he is almost sure to be plump.
 The way to do both-there is but one way-is by CARE FUL LIVING. Sometimes this depends on Scott's Emulsion of cod-liver oil.

 Some very desirable things come from China. The Chinese pheasants that were introduced into Oregon in small numbers in 1881 have multiplied to such an extent that they are now as thick as quail are in other States. They are beautiful birds, their plumage containing twentyeight different colors, and their meat is tender and palatable.

Five Women Have Treatment for COrns

Probably not one young man in hun

ever thinks of her as having corns, " said
young chiropodist the other day to a
New York Herald reporter, as he deftly

"At the same time" continued the
bedacure, lit is a fact that we have five
women who come here to have their
tootsey wootseys attended to where we
have one man who needs our services.
I have seen young girls with angel faces
come in here as often as once a week for
months. Their complexions are perfect,
and among them are some of the love
liest young girls ever saw.
1T would seem to be almost a profana-
ton to imagine for an instant that such
| lovely creatures should have corns. Yet
the feet of some of these young women
are enough to mal1ea Venus de Milo turn
over in her grave. The poor little toes
are pressed together and oftentimes dis
torted out Of shape, and by the time
have finished my work and have wound
strips of plaster about them, besides put.

A curious fact about Sarah Bernhardt
is that she has caused a most sumptuous
tomb to be prepared in Pere la Chaise for
her own obsequies. 1t is all in white
marble, with the one word Bernhard"
inscribed above the portal. Within there
is space for a single coffin only. The
great actress desires TO be alone after
death as she has been unapproachable in
her genius during her life Every year
ON her birthday she visits this tomb and
lays upon it a wreath Of immortelles.
Some one asked her why she did So.
Because, she said, i would like to
have my grave decorated with flowers
after my death, and perhaps if / accus-
tom people to see it so adorned they will
follow my example and keep up the Gus

1t was such a novelty as to attract wide
spread attention, and many newspapers
claimed that it was the frs case Of its
kind in the country. Be that as it may,
it was but the forerunner Of a half dozen
cases in ST. Louis, and the question is no
longer asked, Whoever heard Of anegro
