The skipper of the Katie thrust
his hands into his pockets and
whistled. The two mutineers stood

his righteous revenge, and he felt

Without warning he burst into laugh

Y0ung Plants

s. Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
Others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because OF lack
Of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.

hat there is much improvement in

season, the first ever sold In this Sec
ton, and with very few exceptions the

ENoLAND's NEW COINAGE ACT.

Designs for the Gold and Bronze Pieces
of Money.
The proclamation by the king with
regard to the new coinage is justified
under "the coinage act, 1870" which
states that the sovereign, with the
advice Of the privy council. from time
to time can determine the design for
any coin.
Under these powers the following
designs for gold and bronze coins are
to be carried out: Every &5 piece is
to have for the diverse impression the
effigy of the king, with the inscription,
"Edwardus VII. Del Ora: Britt Omn:
Rex Fid: Def: Ind: Imp" and for the
reverse the image of Saint George
Staying the dragon. The G2 piece will
be the same. while the slight differ
ence in the sovereign is only in the
abbreviation of the title.
The half-sovereign will be exactly
the same as the sovereign. Coming
to bronze coins, the penny will, for
the diverse impression, have the effgy
of the king with the inscription, and
on the reverse the figure Of Britannia,
but without the lighthouse and the
ship, and with the date of the year
and the inscription, "One Penny" The
half-penny and farthing will be the
same in impression as the penny, eX-
cept of course, the value.-Pan Mall

superstition.

Kingship has been kin to supersti-
ton always. James First of England
was superstitious about dates and
there were remarkable condolences in
his life with certain dates of the cal
endar. The day of the month on
which he was born was strangely inter
woven with the days of birth and mar
riage of his wife and some of his chill
dren and their wives. But James was
an old fool who made love to young
buckingham, who laughed in his face
and robbed him of his jewels.
Napoleon was superstitious about
the way he put on his stockings. Fred
ericl< the Great and the Great Peter Of
Russia were superstitious about doz-
ems of things. Marlborough, both as
Jack Churchill and the duke, was su-
perstitious as we'll as a thief and a
traitor. Nearly all the Stuarts were
superstitious and double dealers in re-
ligion. Henry of Navarro was super
stitious, but that never kept him from
a thousand infidelities and adulteries.
All the children of Catherine of Me
dici were scared to death by their su-
perstitions. but they could lie, cheat
and murder just as well. If Cromwell
was victim of superstition he kept IL
to himself.

The BubOnlc Plague.

The plague of to-day is the lineal
descendant of that which was cleared
away from London by the great fire. 1t
represents one of many epidem1cs
which history teaches us devastated
Europe during past ages-pests, these,
abolished by the disappearance of dirt
which forms their soil and breeding
place. We know the germ of the
plague 1t was discovered by Kitasto
in 1894, and independently in the same
year by Yersin, whose protective serum
is used as a preventive.
The germ is a somewhat shortened
and rounded bacillus, that flourishes at
a temperature approaching that of the
blood. Apparently the germ does not
multiply by giving off spores or
seedlike bodies, but by simple division
of the parent germs into others. 1t is
easily killed. A temperature of 212
degrees Fahrenheit destroys it quickly
and acids also act efficiently in this di.
rection. Yersin found the plague germ
living in the soil in affected places. In
the earth it appears to be non-virulent,
but placed in another environment, say
the animal body, it speedily develops
it's disease producing powers. Cows,
sheep, pigs, cats and, of course rats,
are affected by it, but the dog is said
to enjoy an immunity from the atten-
tions Of this bacillus. Gaining access
| to the body, through the skin for the
| most part, and probably through some
| abrasion or wound. the bacilli make
! for the glands, and as these swell and
| enlarge, constituting what doctors call
'buboes," the disease has become
known as the 'bubonic plague"
The f1eas which infect the rat are
also credited with a share in the diff
| fusion of the ailment, for, charged with
! the microbes, these parasites will in
feet other rats, or may possibly inocu-
late man. Hence the crusade against
rats which has been ordered and ad-
! vised. 1t may be added that in one
form Of the plague the lungs are liza
BILE to be specially involved, and the
coughed-up matter in that case is high
| ly infectious.

ne KNEW ( HIS BEES.

TO Distinguish Them.
did you ever hear of man who
could recognize a bee from the other
members of it's swarm" asked Col. ].
q. Showalter while talking to group
of horsemen in the Hoffman house lob
by few evenings ago.
"Oh, you needn't give me the laugh;
it's SO. I've done it.
"Of course 1t isn't exery one who can
do it-just as there are few artists
that can catch the expression of a horse
and put it on canvas. It's on the same
principle that some shepherds know
every sheep in a flock of two or three
thousand.
when l was q young man I went
west from Kentucky to locate. I was
charmed with the beauty of southern
California and settled for year or two
at San Diego. I found that I would
starve there if l tried to practice law,
SO I turned to almost the only thing
at which one could make a living then
| in that section, and went on a bee
ranch
There you go again! Because you
never heard of anything but horses you
imagine bee ranch doesn't exist.
Well, it does. That whole section Is
practically covered with a white sage.
the bloom of which makes perhaps the
best honey in the world. Consequent
ly the country has been divided into
great bee ranches and the production
of honey became quite an industry.
Some of the best pure white honey
on the New York market to-day" said
Col. Showalter, according to the New
York Times, comes from San Diego.
In the course of the development of
the industry it was found that the
black bee. from near the River Pc, in
Italy, was the best suited for their pur-
pose. Well, 1 worked for about year
on bee ranch and became so familiar
with the bees that learned to distin-
| guish them from each other"

Terrier Nurses Lion Cubs.

An interesting sight is now to be
seen in a London zoo, where three lion
cubs, about a month old, are being
sucked and brought up by an Irish
terrier, who is as proud of her foster
children as if they were her own pup
pies. All four occupy a nearly square
box, lined to keep the cubs warm.
Nothing, it is said can exceed the af-
fection of the dog for the cubs, and
the pride she shows when they are ad-
mired is quite touching. The two lion
esses act like kittens and are as harm
less.
