5000 DEATHS A DAY.
Startling Statistics in Regard to
Consumption.
Some idea Also of the Proportion Of
Cures-AnaIysis of the Dread
Disease.

Disease.
When we visit factory where there
are the most delicate and most danger
GUS machines, we are amazed to notice
how Indifferent the workmen are to
the danger about them. Saws and
knives work rapidly, and yet no one
( seems to think of danger. Long asso-
citation with danger causes indifference
to it.
If the statement were made that
there was a contagious disease abroad
in the land which was killing people
at the rate of 5000 a day in Europe,
thirty day in New York State, and
nearly 100000 in one year in the Uni
ted States, every one would be aroused
to action. Yet such condition exists
to-day. Consumption is a contagious
disease, and the above figures concern
ing it are taken from recent reports.
But we have become so familiar with
the disease in our midst, that we do
not fully understand its terrible ma
ture.
Yet it is surprising how many re-
cover from this disease. Even after
the germs of consumption cause seri-
Gus damage to the lungs, thousands
recover. AS yet, no specific is known
for the disease The treatment con-
sists in giving aid to the body in its
efforts to destroy the disease germs.
For two centuries. cod-liver oil has
occupied the first place in the list of
remedies. The next valuable remedies
are the hypophosphites. Some rely on
one alone, but as both are recognized
as of great value, we think it best to
combine them. Thus you are sure
of getting every help which the best
remedies known to medical science
can afford. In SCOTS Emulsion Of
Cod-liver Oil with Iypophosphites, the
oil is emulsifed, that is the oil is
broken up into minute globules of fat.
The oil is digested and thus saves the
weakened body from doing this work.
What will Scott's Emulsion do for
those with weak lungs?
If taken before the germs of con-
have secured a foothold in |
the lungs, it will so invigorate and |
nourish the body that the disease will |
De successfully resisted. In this way /
it prevents consumption. Even after
the lungs are diseased, the body ema-
ciated, and the health greatly affected
it viii often enable the system to come
off victorious. And even in the last
stages Of the disease, when all hope of
recovery has been abandoned, it les
sens the severity of the attack and
makes the last days more comforta-
bic. Scott's Emulsion brings hope and
health to the great majority, while it
brings comfort and relief to all.
Scott's Emulsion contains more pure
Cod-liver Oil than any other

THE PHILOSOPHY OF SAVING UP.
Hoardius Up Good Clothes Is Not Real
Economy.

Who does not know people who seem
( to take the utmost pride and pleasure in
( piously boarding up articles of all de-
/ seriptions? 1t seems to matter little
what it is that they add to the col
lection. They treasure it and take COM
fort in feeling that they have a lot of
miscellaneous property laid by against
the time Of need.
This course is cammendable within
certain elearly-defined lines. But to
hoard for the sake of boarding is one of
the most serious Of mistakes.
a great many women buy handsome
materials, have elegant dresses made,
and then, thinking they are too good
for common use, put them away until
they are out of fashion and out of date.
1t is a mistaken economy to save
articles of wearing apparel beyond GER
tain limits. 1t is much more profitable
and sensible to buy a good dress, have
it made up in conservative style and
wear it whenever occasion requires. It
is not worth while to have a large num-
Der of good dresses unless one is con.
stantly going out, and even then few
costumes will be found much more adj
vantageous. To have too many dresses
is almost as bad as too few, because one
feels that there is a large investment
and that they are speedily going out OF
style, and after awhile one has moth
ing that there is any pleasure in wear
ing.
One of the best-dressed women in the !
country never has but three good
dresses at a time. One is a street cos
tune, which is made of the best wool
fabric she can buy and is made in ele- |
gant style; then there is a dinner and /
an evening dress. These, with quanti-
ty of dressy accessories, furnish her
with an outfit that is every way salts.

come somewhat out of date, she has ten

ing dress refitted.
In the days of black silks one woman
who had more sense than money bought
one dress during the year, and that was
a good black silk. She always had a
second best, and her third was good
enough to reconstruct with some pref
y remnant III HOus0 uIcSS OF Yea gown.
For the latter a short length of bright
wool or silk was all that was required.
1t is possible for a woman to costume
herself handsomely on very small
amount of money, provided she gives
the subject sensible and intelligent
thought. To do this, however, she must
refrain from purchasing
novelties and must utilize her dresses
while they are new. Buying to put
lway is the most expensive business i'm.

as Duty Done.
The making of ones viii does not
hasten ones death; on the contrary,
it has a calming and soothing influence
upon the mind. A person who has done
it feels that he has done his duty, says
the New York Mercury, that he is so far
prepared to die.
He has no burden upon his mind, in
reference to what he shall do in sick
ness. When sickness comes he has no
regrets on this subject; he has done his
best to prepare for the inevitable hour.
If he has made his will Alright he has
attempted to do good in his death as
well as in his life.
This is not only a reminder that every
man who has property to dispose OF
should make his will. but also that those
who can do so without injury to their
natural heirs should give certain por-
ton of their property for the public
benefit. No man has got wealth with
out receiving it from society at large.

ADVANTAGES OF LIBERlA.
Prof o. F. Cook Speaks Of the African
Republic.


Republic.
Prof o. f. Cook, OF Huntington. L
l., who has spent the winter in Liberia
Africa, studying the plant and animal
life of that region, has returned to his
home. He says, according to the Repub.
lie, that the advantages of Africa as
q place of residence, even for the white
race, are but imperfectly understood
Liberia is naturally no more unhealth
full than other tropical countries, in
which civilization has taken root, such
as India and South America, and, as in
these eases, the healthfulness increases
as the forests are cleared away and bet
ter conditions of life rendered possible
through Improvements in transporta-
ton. Mr.. Cook has spent several sea.
sons in Africa in pursuing his inSesti-
CATION in the interest of the American
and the New York State Colonization
societies, with a view to ascertaining
the possibility of resuming. under new
plans, the colonization of Liberia with
negroes from the United States. He
says former movements in that direc-
ton have failed through want of proper
management rather than on account of
any insurmountable difficulties inner
ent in the idea of colonization or in the
nature of the country where settlements
of American negroes were attempted.
That something is possible, he says,
is demonstrated by the fact that many
colonists who left America Is or 20 years
ago with nothing have now coffee
farms, yielding incomes greater than
their owners can spend, while others
have achieved independence in much
less time.

Protest Against a Fashion Based on the

Protest Against Fashion Based on tn,

Those humane workers who are la.

whole birds to adorn their hats and

with equal energy against the use of the
aigrette. Nowoman, certainly no moth

use meant. In a circular sent out re.
Gently this is shown:
"These little feathers" says the cir.
cular, ''were provided by nature as the
nuptial adornment of the white heron,
or egret. Many kind-hearted women
who would not on any account do a
cruel act, are. by following this fash.
ion, causing the continuance of a very
great cruelty. The aigrette in nearly all
cases is made of the slender decomposed
feathers that grow at one time of the
year on the birds backs and drop grace
fully over their sides and tails. The
less fine plumes, with shorter and stiff
er lilaments, are from the squaeco
heron, which is not an egret. The best
time to attack them is when the young

The Egyptian AbhOrs Warfare, as DID
His Fathers Before Him.
The ordinary Egyptian is by instinct
utterly opposed to military life. The
last thing he wants to do in the world is
to fight. He hates the pomp and cir
cumstance Of glorious war, and nothing
in his nature is appealed to by the idea
OF strife and combat.
He is n good-tempered. pleasure-lov-
ing man, and for 5000 years his apces'
tors before him have loathed the clash
OF steel. Go back as far as you like in
Egyptian history and you will never
find trace Of the Viking spirit in the
Inhabitants of the Nile valley. The sue
cessful wars of the Phnraohs were
waged by mercenaries, and the pppyFi
show that the military calling was
always described as pure evil. The rec
ords show little delights in battle, but
plenty Of picturesque contrasts between
the horrible miseries endured BY the
soldier in the field and the pleasant,
snug life of the civilian tribe.
The spirit Of the old Dane who when
he felt death approaching put on his
Iarmor, because he would not die like o
COW in his house, has no echo in the
past or in the present of the true
Egyptian.
