IRELAND'S HANGWOMAN.
The Very Last Position for Which:
One would Expect IA Member of

of obtaining livelihood, says the Lon

which one would expect TO find the
gentle sex is that which was so re
Gently followed by Mrs. Ellington.
"Hangwoman" is an Objectionable
term, but is duly entered in the New
English Dictionary" The woman and
the word are both nineteenth century
productions. Lady Betty" as she
was called, was not ill-favored, either,
and is described in the Dublin Uni
versity Magazine for January, 1880
"as a mddle-aged, stout-made, dark
eyed, swarthy-compleX but by no
means forbidding woman" Ireland
was the scene Of her labors, and she
officiated unmasked and undisguised
as a hangwoman for a great number
of years, and often logged in and
through the streets, being extremely
severe, particularly on those of hol
own sex.

Geffift1Q
Thin

is all right, if you are too fat;
and all wrong, if too thin already.
Fat, enough for your habit, is
healthy; little more, or less, is
no great harm. Too fat, consult
a doctor; too thin, persistently
thin, no matter what cause, take
SCOTS Emulsion of Cod Liver
Oil.
There are many causes of get
ting too thin; they all come
under these two heads: over
work and under-digestion.
Stop over-work, if you can;
but, whether you can or not,
take SCOTS Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil, to balance yourself
with your work. You can't live
on it--true--but, by it, you
can. There's a limit, however;
you'll pay for it.
SCOTS Emulsion of Cod Liver
Oil is the readiest cure for
"can't eat" unless it comes of
your doing no work--you can't
long be well and strong, without
some sort of activity.

the dfctum of the supreme court is what

Mr.. Dobbyn was asked if the decision
would diminish the agitation against
vaccination. He said he did not think it
would and added: q II am justified in say
ing that the declaration from the supreme
court instead of putting a quietus on ag-
itation- will incite those Composed to vac

fought the health board did not make cur
fight upon the state or city officials and
