OH for the
Children

Give them oil-cod-liver oil.
It's curious to see the result.
Give it to the peevish, fret
ful child, and he laughs. Give
it to the pale, anamic child,
and his face becomes rosy and
full of health. Take a flat
chested child, or a child that
has stopped growing, give him
the oil, and he will grow big
and strong like the rest.
This is not a new scheme.
1t has been done for years.
OF course you must use the
right oil. SCOTS Emulsion
is the one.
SCOTS Emulsion neither
looks nor tastes like oil because
we are SO careful in making it
pleasant to take.

less and alone. In several other points
itswili surpass anything the world has
ever seen.
Let me first speak of the court set
tings. By this is meant symmetrical
placing Of the principal large buildings
with reference to one another so as to
form system of connecting courts,
each with it's special features yet each
q part Of one great, beautiful picture.
The principal courts are the Court of
Fountains and Plaza, which form
north and south perpendicular and con-
meet with transverse court called the
Esplanade. Two minor courts open
into the Esplanade, known as the Court
Of Expresses and Court of Lilies. These
courts, about 33 acres in area, with the
magnificent decorations which will
complete their beauty, will give to the
eye a vista of exceptional grandeur
from whatever point they may be seen.
In sculptural and plastic decorations
this Exposition will set new pattern
for nations to contemplate and adore.
The exterior of every building will pre-
sent richness of design and delicacy
of detail unparalleled in the history of
expositions. Majestic statues and
costly modelled groups, lacking only
life to complete the ideality of their
purpose, will guard entrances and
bridges or send down their blessings
upon the enterprise from lofty domes
and towers.
Again, from all the buildings will be
diffused a radiance of color that will
vie with the brilliant gardens in it's
agreeable effect upon the eye. Such
elaborate color decoration upon the eX-
teriors of great group of buildings is
q distinct departure from the custom
observed at former expositions. To the
prismatic brilliance of the gardens and
the rich tints of the buildings will be
added water effects extraordinary in
conception and of supreme beauty. In
all the courts will be large pools rip
pling and sparkling under the fantastic
activity of numberless fountains. Many
of these fountains are to be elaborate
sculptured works, with jets of water
playing from hundreds of openings.
With all it's wonderful beauty by day
the Exposition will be, like the cereus
of tropical America, flower of the
night. Then will it blossom in exquisite
perfection. With all the fountains
playing amid floating lights upon every

lakes where there have been planted a
wonderful variety of water plants to
be ready for next years blossoming.
In that part Of the great Exposition
plot known as Delaware Park is a lake
half a mile long, surrounded by wood
ed banks that will contribute much to
the beauty of the Exposition.
So much for the uncommon beauty
of this great enterprise. Now OF the
more practical side. The exhibits to
be contained in the buildings will in
clude nearly everything of commercial
value or industrial utility. The divi-
sions, each of them considerable ex-
hibtion in itself, are as follows: Elec-
tricity and electrical appliances; fine
arts-painting, sculpture, decoration;
graphic arts-typography, lthography,
steel and copperplate printing, photo
mechanical processes, drawing, engrav-
ing and bookbinding; liberal arts-ed-
ucation, engineering, public works, con-
structive architecture, hygiene and san
itation, music and the drama; ethnol-
ogy, archaeology, progress of labor and
invention, isolated and collective ex-
hibits; agriculture, food and its acces-
sories, agricultural machinery and ap-
pliances; horticulture, viticulture, fo-
riculture: live stock-horses, cattle,
sheep, swine, pet stock; forestry and
forest products, fish, fisheries, fish
products and apparatus for fishing;
mines and metallurgy, machinery, man.
ufactures, transportation exhibits, rail-
ways, vessels, vehicles, ordnance; eX-
hibits from the Hawaiian Islands, Por-
to Rico, Tutuila, Guam, and the Phil
ippine Islands; large exhibits by the
National Government from all depart
ments, and special exhibits from Cuba,
Mexico, Brazil, Canada and from vari-
Gus states and countries of Central and
South America.
To describe properly a single one OF
the exhibit divisions would require a
large space. 1t is the aim of the super
intendents each to have the very latest
productions, so that the highest devel-
opment in the western hemisphere in
all lines of effort may be shown to
advantage and to the profit of all.
The Exposition will thus offer,
through it's exhibitors, the western
world in the latest aspect of its civi-
lization. Owing to the nearness OF Nj

charm of sweet sounds to the harmony
of color and sculpture, flowers, foliage
and fountains. the evening scenes at
this Exposition will be such as no lover
of the beautiful will permit to pass
without at least one determined effort
to witness them.

Besides this. the surv" "r's line

were fired to dislntegrate the

of our visit to that quaint and
interesting city has already been

Niagara'S Wonderland.

Can one ever tire of Niagara ::
1t seemed not to me as we
strolled along the brink of the
raging torrent, where millions
of tons of water plunge un-
ceasingly straight downward
one hundred and ninety feet to
the rocky bed below, from
whence it surges through the
rapids and whirlpool and on out
into lake Ontario. 1t is quite i'm
possible to describe the grandeur
of these majestic cateracts,
whose ceaseless roar has been
heard through countless ages.
and which have for centuries
excited the awe and wonder
ment of savage and civilized
men.
Niagara is still the mecca of
many lovers, and brides and
grooms, who may be noticed at
every turn amid the by-paths on
Goat and Three Brother Islands,
where nature has provided many
typical bridal bowers beneath
the low hanging branches, the
ground being softly carpeted by
the long pliable needles of the
pine and spruce. Here amid tie
roar of the ever rushing waters,
which completely surround
them, thousands have cut their
initials in the trunks of trees as
they plighted their troths and
repeated the old, old story which
will be ever new while humanity
exists.
The coming summer the thous-
ands who will visit the Pan
American exposition at Buffalo
will find a visit to Niagara de-
lightful side trip, for the far
famed Falls are only an hours
ride from the Exposition grounds,
and one may spend week in the
midst of this magnificent scenery
and find new pleasures each
day.
We could not help contrasting
the facilities offered for sight
seers to. day with those of few
years ago, when they were the
legitimate prey of rapacious
h a KIN en- and extortionate
guides. Now, for a charge of a
few cents, they are whisked
right along the edge of the
seething river and through
Niagara's wonderland, in a
trolley car into the very midst
of the falls, the conductor acting
as guide and calling attention tc
the places of interest. To con
struct this road d-bed taxed the
capacity of the hest engineering
talent; all along, the line was

will be developed upon the grounds.
This large volume of power for the
uses of the Exposition is sufficient
alone to drive the machinery of great
city.
Buffalo is preparing to receive hos
pitably millions of visitors next year
and the twenty-siX railways that enter
the city are making ready to meet the

business which the next year promises

AN OLD SETTLER.
\ Curiosity in the Form of n Boz
Turtle Discovered.

\ Curiosity in the Form of n Box
Turtle Discovered.
A remarkable specimen, a box tor
toise or commonly called land turtle
was found about threefourths of a
mile south of the city last Friday.
While plowing upon the Stocking
farm Wm. Floyd partially uncovered
the specimen which by its variegated
back and protruding head, indicated
to him that he had found nest of
snakes. With one spring Mr.. Floyd
cleared the pillow handles and soon re-
turned with large stone, intending
to spread havoc among the inhabit-
ants of the nest, when, to his surprise,
box turtle had crawled from its
cover. His fear at once subsidized and
he began to examine the specimen
which he considered so interesting
that he brought it TO the city and
handed it to Supt. Marvin for the
Zoology class. 1t is an excellent
specimen The shell is nearly hemis'
pherical, seven inches long, dark
brown, beautifully stellated with
lines, dashes, and connuent blotches
of yellow. 1t was not, however, the
color, size, or rareness of the turtle
that made it interesting, but the fact
that the plastron lower shell II
divided crosswise into two aparts
which are united by ligament SC
that they turn as on hinge, thus en-
abling the turtle TO shut in its heaC
and limbs, making box, from which
the turtle receives its name. But fal
more interesting than this was the
plain carving upon part of the plas
tron in letters and figures about one
inch in length-"A. |. 1881. II. G. p
This would indicate that the turtle
was at least 20 years old and perhap
much older. If any person in th'
vicinity Of Belding can give us any in
formation relative to this lettering
and the past history of the specimen
it will be thankfully received.
