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 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.
Ask yonr doctor If this rs not true.

Reperence In Wit.

The English, who like their jokes 10
beled, their puns explained in parenthe-
sis and dead line kept between serious
hours and play Yourselves stolid poor
relations of ours complain that we
Yankees never take anything seriously
because, forsooth, we mingle jokes with
our solemnities and have no real rever-
ence for anything. In the first place,
very few things seriously deserve that
great epithet reverend" in the second
place, it would be hard to find all argu-
ment that would prove any real incom-
patibility between reverence and good
cheer. Mark Twain was "irreverent"
when he cracked jokes at Adam S grave
and poked fun at King Arthur. But
what particular tribute to either Of those
dubious worthless would it be to repress
all profane snickering and heave few
hypocritical signs, and bow much near
or the truth would you come? If Adam
had tail and if Arthurs knights were
not all that poets have pretended, it Is
in the interests of truth that we have
our fun out of it. II a man should have
a neat epigram carved on his tombstone
instead of dolorous hyperboles and weep
ing willows, he would be benefactor,
and his grave would be all the more
sought out, celebrated and remembered.

1serns OF Table Etiquette. Brief and Clea-.
For Ready Reference-SomeA Ar
tietic Mantelpieces.

The Standard Designer evidently
thinks that there is still something to
be taught in tho line OF table manners
and does its part MS follows:
Oysters and CLAIMS, when served on
the half she'll, are eaten with small
oyster fork, the shell being held steady
with the left hand.
Soup is taken from tho side of ia
blespoop as noiselessly rs possible. Con-
trary to etiquette rules of former years,
the plate can be slightly tilted away
from the eater when the contents grow
low.
Fish is eaten with the fork alone, al
though it is not out Of the way to use
the knife to help separate the flesh from
the bones. Some ultra people use two
forks instead of knife and fork for
this purpose
Crouuettes and other entrees that are
made of minced meat are eaten with a
fork alone. Pates with creamy contents
are eaten with fork and spoon. Peas
and beans are also eaten with q fork.
Asparagus has either the tips cut OF
with knife and conveyed to the mouth
with fork OF the fingers are used to
lift the stalks to the mouth. Green corn
is cut from the cob and eaten with the
fork. If eaten from the cob the latter
should be broken i'll medium lengths.
Cheese should be broken i'll small bits
with the fork and conveyed to the
mouth on bit of bread or cracker.
Salad is eaten with Il fork and should
never be cut. If it is composed of let
tuce and the leaves are too large, they
should be torn into smaller pieces with
the fingers. Celery should be broken in
short lengths aud carried to the mouth
with the fingers Macaroni or spaghetti
should be cut with the fork, but not the
knife.
Oranges should be cut in half cross
wise and eaten with. spoon or else
peeled and divided into quarters by the
aid of fruit knife and fork. Peaches,
plums, apricots and apples should be
peeled with the fruit knife and cut i'll
small pieces, after which the fork or
fingers can be used to convey the pieces
to the mouth.
Jellies, blancmange, fancy creams,
layer cake and pies nre eaten with a
fork also ice cream. Stewed fruits and
water ices are eaten with a teaspoon.

WILAELM's DREAM.
Tho Emperor of Germany Thinks Ho Is
King of England.


It is rather curious to outsiders, writes
the London correspondent of The Times
Herald, and wholly unpleasant to the
queen to know that the German emperor
regards himself as the rightful successor
to England's throne This is matter
rarely spoken of, though perfectly we'll
realized ut court, and it IL strenuous
reason against her majesty's over abdi-
eating in favor Of tho Prince Of Wales.
So when next you hear that she med
itates such stop do not believe it. She
is safe to do nothing of the kind, though
She lives to 100 years The cratic Ger
man emperor bases his claim on the not
unnatural assumption that his mother,
born princess royal and eldest child Of
Queen Victoria, is heir to that mothers
crown, and he her Immediate successor.
1t Is said that the kaiser is wildly i'll
dignant because his mother will not
press her claim and take her rightful
place as the future sovereign Of England.
That the Prince of Wales is not the
Prince of Wales, but that the kaiser is
that as we'll as emperor Of Germany, he
has fully decided in his own mind.
When the time comes for his oonten-
tion, it is scarcely probable that he will
hold his peace. OF course it is not for
moment to be supposed TINT England
would endure William for its king.
But the case is knotty one upon which
even the constitutional lawyers cannot
agree.
While tho queen remains sovereign
this family unpleasantness is not likely
to arise, but when she abdicates or dies
there is pretty sure to he an uncomfort-
able time for all parties concerned.
Still the English are certain to reject
the kaiser, even though England has to
resolve itself into republic and then
choose Albert Edward to DO its ruler.
Quite as strange things as this have
happened in the history of the world
and mny chance ngain. In spite of ru-
mors and raillery of the press in bygone
times tho Prince of Wales is well liked
in tho United Kingdom.
Moreover, the English temper would
not bear tho German empcror's ideas of
''lezo majesty" Here one may discuss
the PRINCES debts or the queens pcnu-
robustness, and nobody interferes or
minds In the least. In Germany one
may not mention the kaiser name dis.
respectfully, because even tho walls
have spying eyes and listening ears, and
"leZe majesty is sorely punishable
German Students am told are driven
to abiding to his mightiness us Herr
Johannes Schmitt'' or Squire Memo"
in order to save themselves from punish
ment for anything that may be con-
strued as "leze majesty. " In short,
there is no such thing as freedom Of
speech in the German empire, and such
an active, inquisitive, curious man is
William that, it is said, he keeps care
fully posted on everything that goes on
in our country as well rs his own.
