Thin, Pale Children

One satisfaction in giving Scott's Emulsion to children is they never object to it. The fact is, they soon become fond of it. Another satisfaction is because 1t will make them plump, and give them growth and prosperity. It should be given to all children who arc too thin, or too pale. It does not make them over-tat but plump.
 It strengthens the digestive organs and the nerves, and fur- nishcs material for rich blood. We have book telling you mofs oa ths subject. Sent free for the asking.

sockaiexi-, the Indian BAN Player.

Louis SockaleXis is the name of the
full-breed Indian who plays right field
for the Clevelands. Though Sock
alexis's parentsare still living on q
reservation in Maine, where he spent
his childhood, one would hardly be-
lieve that Socks was the offspring of
half civilized parents. There is not
more gentlemanly player on the Cleve-
land team than Sockalexis. He has an
excellent education, and there is moth
ing about his actions or his talking
calculated to remind one of wild west
shows, tomahawks and all that sort of
thing. The young man is fluent con-
versationalist, who can tell many inter
estiug stories.
There is little difference in PLAYING
ball in the League and on the college
teams, so far as the game is concerned, ="

YEARLY SLAUGHTER OF BIRDS.
The Demands of Fashion Rapidly Ex-
Terminating Feathcred song-tcrs.

1he Defnanus or Fashion Rapidly Ex-
Terminating Feathcred son=stcrs.
Althoughit may SAVIOR of un9allantry
to the fair sex, it is nevertheless most
painfully true that the demands of
modern fashion, especially in the line
If female headgear, are rapidly play
ing havoc with the feathered songsters
Of our American forest.
The Audubon Society, of Massachu-
'etts, has recently made thorough
investigation of the subject for the
purpose of ascertaining with some de-
gree of exactitude how many birds arc
hlled annually TO supply the worlds
millinery establishments, aud the fig
lres collected by the society will
doubtless be interesting to some OF
our readers. Great Britain alone. il is
;ald, imports yearly over $4,000, 600
birds, which find their way into the
various fashion laboratories of the
Kingdom to be manufactures into hats
and other articles of personal wear.
The entire continent of Europe is
credited with not less than 800, 600. 200
annually.
To show the enterprise of individual
firms engaged in the bird traffic. one
establishment in London last year i'm
ported 1000 humming birds, 5000
birds of paradise and 500, 900 birds of
other descriptions. American firms.
however, are by no means backward.
One IN Chicago last year received over
$50, 900 birds during the twelve months
ending December 81, 1896, most of
which have since found owners in the
social realm. Surprisingly wonderful
is the art which preserves these birds
IN such radiant and life-like fashion,
but serious beyond measurement ia the
wholesale slaughter which is going on
from year to year in order to supply
the worlds market
Does it pay to rob nature in such
remorseless manner merely to enrich
fashion? Is it not, in measure, cruel
to sacrifice millions of songbirds yearly
for no other purpose than to decorate
the worlds headgear? These are per-
tiuent questions, especially in view of
the fact that larger purchases are being
made this year than ever before. With
out predicting the complete annihila-
ton of our songbirds, it sufIices 70
show that if the present rate of
slaughter continues it will not be long
before the only relic of these warblers
will be found on some old faded bon
net.-Auanta Constitution.

Dissection of whale h a yacrt.

striking experience while upon her way

ever, was not arrested for n moment.
Observation resulted in the discovery
that the ironclad ram had cut through
an enormous whale which had been
crossing the course, and the two halves
of the bleeding mass adhered, one to
each side of the vessel, which the high
rate of speed would not dislodge. A

by the gaping jaws Of the enormous

Renwood uttered not n word. With
white, scared look he suffered him
self to be led from the house, and
thence into conveyance. Our way
lay in the direction of the police
station.
A Coroner's inquest was held on the
body of Sir Douglas Renwood, and the
verdict of the jury, following on the
doctors post norton examination, was
''wilful murder against Mark Rem
wood"
He was accordingly committed for
trial at the next Assizes.
The incident which served to convict
him was the forged certificate. He
could assign no reason for the forgery.
and therefore the jury had no option
but to conclude that the man who had
administered to the deceased the sub
tie poison which caused his death was
his nephew, the man who stood in the
dock.
Sentence was passed accordingly.
and on the night before his execution
he sent for the chaplain and made n
full confession.
1t ran thus:
Il killed my uncle by means OF n
drug which the natives use in certain
parts of India for medical purposes.
