The Esquimo eats blubber. The lumbermen eat pork. These people are constantly exposed to cold and physical strain. Experience has taught them that fatty foods give warmth and nourishment.
 For those who have cold and thin bodies, or are threat ened with consumption or any wasting disease, there is no fat in so digestible and palatable a form as Scott's Emulsion. Physicians prescribe it.

 Viewing the heavenly bodies is always interesting, and Is calculated to inspire oneS with sublime admiration for the great mysterious force that has called them Into existence.

This assembling of Jupiter, Saturn and Monday, November 17 and IS. has not been known before in modern astronomy nor will it occur again until about the year A. D., 3l02.
 l. On the evening of November IT. the three most beautiful planets of our sys- tenn will appear in the southwest in the form of a grand triangle. with Venus three degrees south of Jupiter and Sat urn about one degree east and a little ways north of Jupiter.
 Venus Is much the brighter of the three, and. were it not for the moon being so close and nearing its final quarter, she would throw a distinct shadow. At this time. however, Venus is not at her brightest. nor is Jupiter or Saturn. Ve- nus is now about AOO,OO0 miles from the earth Jupiter is fully $40, ,0O0, GOO miles out. and Saturn is something over GOO OOO 900 miles away. Yet they are all seemingly like great arc lights set in the heavens with Venus nearest our viewpoint.

Up to Date,

"I have here" said the dramatist "a play that doesn't seem to meet with the favor of the managers.
 'Yes," said the dramatist. They don't want original plays now; they want dram atizations of novels and all that sort of thing"
 "Well?"
 well. this is a pretty good play. and if seems shame to waste it. Suppose YOU read it over and write a novel along the same lines and then we'll sell the pIay as a dramatization of the novel. and well both make mint of money. So long as we have the combination I don't sec that 1t makes any difference which is written first ."

there were five evening stars. all visible at once in the constellation of Scorpio. Several thousand years must pass be- fore they shall come together again in that or any other zodiacal constellation: The motions of the planets are varied that long and difficult calculations are necessary to fix an exact date, but a time will come when they will congre- gate as before. l..
 The three that appear together in Sa- gittarius on the 17th and 18th Of this month will meet again in 3lO2 A. D., but we will not be in a good position to see them from the earth. Therefore, 1t would be well for those interested to watch Venus during this week and note how slowly she approaches Jupiter from the west. Jupiter Is slowly overtaking Saturn, and will be apparently nearing conjunction with that planet the latter part of the month. The disk of the moon would about cover both planets on November 30th.
 The moon at its first quarter on the 18th will add greatly to the beauty or the celestial scene. The planets remain above the western horizon for over two hours after sunset. and thus all may have d fair opportunity of witnessing this grand conjunction of the three most Interesting and beautiful planets.
