During the last outbreak OF cholera
I'm Korea, the American missionaries
established free hospital, where the
care of house and patients was largely
placed upon the native converts. One
aristocratic Korean came to the hos
pital recently and asked if there was
something he could do. There is
nothing now except to mop floors, -
was the gentle reply; though that is
continually needed" The native turn
ed on his heel, but at the door paused
and came back. 81 cannot go OF so, -
he laughed. II should have preferred
to carry broth, but 1 will mop floors.

Does Baby
hriVe?

If your baby is delicate
and Sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
SCOTS Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.

They are being cut in Granville, Roches-

drawing them to the banks of the streams

They are left ready to roll in next spring.
In former years this cutting was ali done

Gold Is Found In Several Streams Near
Bellows FaIIs---Copper PyrItes In the
Canal Rocks,
The work on the canal has been progress
ing steadily for the past few weeks. Several
minor blasts have been given from time to
time, the latest being yesterday afternoon.
A large rock was removed from the bed of
the canal recently which contained, in the
Quartz beds, a strain of metal that was at
first supposed to be copper with a slight
trace of gold but which eventually proved
to be copper pyrites.
About IA wears ago, when the arch was
being put in at the south end of the canal
a narrow vein of metal was discovered
which an expert assayist pronounced to be
copper ore with a trace of gold, but the
amount found was too small to warrant any
attempt of making mining profitable.
Gold has been found in this locality, and
on several occasions fair amount of the
metal secured. Commissary Brook, near
Sonth Charlestown, is said to contain a
small amount and gold has also been taken
from Scrabble Brook near Springfield.
Garnets have been found in quite large
numbers in brook near Grafton, which is
pretty sure indication that gold is not far
off. The formation of the lodges are such
as to indicate that gold can be found, and
several good-sized rocks have been removed
containing veins of gold ore.
The metal has also been taken from a
brook between here and Chester, although
in no large quantities. The nearest brook
in which gold has been found is near Black
vile, about two miles from this town, in
the direction of Saxtons River 1t is said
that enough gold can be panned there
daily to pay the prospecter at the rate of a
dollar day. Gold has been found in quite
considerable quantities near Stowe and
Bridgewater, but the best field in Vermont
is near Plymouth.
