formed and given up his bad habits.

mighty drinker, famous for his capaci-
ity and carouses.
The priest was minlsterng to the dy-
ing man, consoling him with visions
of the paradise he would soon enter.
telling him that he would meet there
his old friends and what JOY 1t would
be to see them all again.
The dying man asked feebly, "Will
Schneider be there, your reverence|
Thinking to give him pleasure, the
priest replied, Yes; Schneider will be
there"
"Achn' said the other. Dot Is very
bad All dose dringings und eadings
und flghdings all over again, all dot

"But there will be no drinking in
heaven" said the priest.
But you said Schneider would be
dere."

Norwegian weddings are almost al
ways celebrated at the close of short
Scandinavian summer, season which
the Industrious Norsemen find too short
In which to work and from which they
would never dream OF taking the days
that are necessary for the long drawn
out festivities OF the Morse wedding.
SO the maidens who are wooed all the
year round are usually welded at the
beginning OF winter. Norwegian WOO
ings are very frank and very long ado
ing. On summer Sundays the lanes,
the highways and byways are ateem
with lovers. Each couple saunters
slowly along not In the least shy, his
arm about her shoulders, her arm about
his waist Nor do they untwine their
arms If they pause little to chat with
friends, not even II they stop to speak
with casual acquaintances. Ten or a
dozen years often elapse between the
first day of courtshlp and the day OF
marriage, while a seven years betroth-
al is considered of very moderate
lenRth.-Woman's Home Companion.

Curious Freak of Insane Persons.


A Belgian physician, speaking Of
stimulation by the insane, says that in
cases of insanity where the intellectual
faculties are not too much dlsordered
the insane may simulate another f.. N
of insanity than their own. The forms
of insanity most often simulated are,
In order of frequency, imbecility, de-
mentia and mania. The other forms
are not so frequently simulated. A
lunatic generally Stimulates insanity to
escape punishment. and an expert ply
stefan should not therefore In such
cases be satisfied with diagnosis Of
stimulation. Such diagnosis does not
exclude real insanity, and the physi-
clan should therefore endeavor to as
certain whether or not the simulator is
himself lunatic. With care, patience
and long continued observation 1t is
possible to make a complete and cor
rect diagnosis, and this Is the more i'm
portant as In these cases the serious
question of responsibility arises.-Lon-
don Family Doctor.

In 1882 Coleridge In his Table Talk
spoke Of the word talented as follows
II regret to see that vile and barba-
rous vocable talented stealing out of
the newspapers into the leading re-
views and most respectable publica-
tons of today. Why not 'shillinged,'
'farthinged.' 'tenpenced,' ETC.? The
formation of participle passive from
a noun is license which nothing but
a very peculiar felicity can excuse. If

Once upon time n fish In search of

tened to its constant babbling as he

shallower. Yet 1t kept up its babbling
just the same. Finally he reached its

Stop the
Blight

1t is sad thing to see fine
fruit trees spoiled by the blight.
You can always tell them from
the rest. They never do we'll
afterwards but stay small and
sickly.
1t is worse to see a blight
strike children. Good health
is the natural right of children.
But some of them don't get
their rights. While the rest
grow big and strong one stays
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion can stop
that blight. There is no
reason why such achild should
stay small. SCOTS Emulsion
is a medicine with lots sof
strength in 1.-THE kind of
strength that makes things
grow.
SCOTS Emulsion makes
children grow, makes them eat,
makes them sleep, makes them
play. Give the weak child a
chance. SCOTS Emulsion will
