Blood.

We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re.
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con-
tinual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved ; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food,
to keep the blood rich. When
it fails, take SCOTS Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil. 1t sets the
whole body going again-man
woman and child.
If YOU have not tried it, send for free sample,
its agreeable taste will surprise you.

IL Is unnecessary to describe in de-
tail the splendid system of agricu-
tural schools and
colleges our own
"' country boasts.
Nearly every state has It's own. and
the courses offered by most of them
are practical. comprehensive and thor
oughly scientific. 1t is especially APP
propriate in America, says the Phila-
delphia Saturday Evening Post. that
ample provision should be made for
the education of the farming classes,
for IL IL from them that the majority
Of educated men are drawn. Accord
Ing 70 reliable statistics, fully 40 per
pent. OF college attendance comes
fsom the rural population. James II.
Garfield, librarian of Columbia. and
Ohio, furnishes table of occupations
OF parents of students entering the
Ohio university between 1895 and 1865.
Here are the five highest numbers:
Farmers, SCI; merchants, 223; manu-
fscturers, 100; lawyers, SO; physicians.
n. Whether or not in former times
only the dull boy returned to the farm
after leaving school, it is certainly
not so now. Still less will il be so in
the future, for the agricultural col
leges all over the country are opening
their doors to the farmers daughters,
and adding to their curriculn courses
in domestic economy, and OF that part
OF farm management which falls TO
the farmers wife and daughter. At
and the girls may, IL they elect, go
into the study of agriculture as deep
ly as their brothers. Cornell, the Uni
'versities OF OHIO, Minnesota. Kansas
Nebraska, Michigan and others, east
and west, now offer TO women n com
plete training in every branch of the
science. That women are awaiting
themselves of the privilege there Is
abundant evidence. At the Minnesota
school of agriculture, in connection
with the state university, 81 out oi
the $40 students are girls. Two
thirds of the course girls and boy.
pursue together, but when the boy.
take up blacksmithing, carpentry ant
veterinary science, the girls are bus,
with home economy and domestic
branches. Quoting from Prof. II. W
Brewster, principal of the school:
"The basis OF the work throughout tn,
course is scientific. Botany and physiol
ogy are made the foundation for all tn,
technical work in plant and animal life
chemistry of the soil. fertilization and cul
.ture: while physics enters into many OF th'
processes OF farming with reference Il
animal and vegetable life cultivation, anI
the use of machinery. In the technica
lines we emphasize dairying. poultry. breed
Ing and feeding OF animals. veterinary sci
enee. field agriculture and forestry. Boti
boys and girls learn in their drawing
classes how to plan farm buildings and how
to lay out the grounds around them. Th'
general thought OF the whole course is t.
make the farm home the most att.LctN,
spot on earth"

UNUSED RAILROAD TICKETS.
Easy Matter TO Obtain a Re-
fund for Them.

Some men with unused railroad
tickets on their hands will sell them
to scalpers, while others go 10 the
railroad company that issued them
and obtain their value in money.
Most persons, however. do neither,
and accept the loss when the ticket
is worth less than n dollar. Indeed,
many persons do not realize that the
railroad companies stand ready to re-
deem unused tickets even of small
value, so that the companies must be
richer by many thousands of dollars
n year through this ignorance, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Every railroad ticket bears the
name OF the general passenger agent
and of the general manager of the
road. II is simple matter to in
close the ticket with n letter direct
ed to the general passenger agent.
asking him to refund the money paid
and explaining the reason why the
ticket is left unused in the hands
of the purchaser. II is courteous to
inclose stamped envelope in which
the money may be returned.
When all these things have been
done the company generally acknowl-
edges the receipt of the ticket-hold-
er's communication and promises to
investigate the matter. The investi-
cation consists in the proper identi-
fication of the ticket by the agent
who sold il, and n little bookkeeping
TO set the accounts right. Then the
purchaser receives check for the
amount due from tho railroad COM
pany, along with Letter requesting
acknowledgement.
