SOFT COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them. strength to do
their proper work.

As To (olors.

Fashion sometimes imposes what is
false 10 true principles OF art in its
combinations of colors and its disre-
gard of graceful lines. The average
woman will be in the fashion," even
II she knows that it does not suit her
style. Style is such a potent inilu-
ence that when il is secured. some al
front to a fundamental principle of
taste is mitiga.ed. Getting accustomed
to some unbeautiful fashion will soften
the aversion to i; until one almost gets
to like il. Thus what was regarded
with rapture in one period as a stun
ming mode OF costume. excites the
r,irthfulness of later one by its fam
tas ticality. But good taste about dress
never gets to the port of being insen
sible. or resigned. to the exhibition of
lad taste N it.
White is a very beautiful color for
gowns. and quite safe. II is nearly al
ways becoming. and. as a rule. very
charming. There are numerous shades
Of white. and the quality of it in diff
ferent fabrics affords many effectively
contrasting nuances, while the trim

A toilette in white may be the perfec-
ton of elegant simplicity. exquisite
refinement. and aristocratic charac-
ter. 1t is possible to impart TO its

Clever Gard Trick.

Card tricks which are not difficult to
perform are often mystifying, never
theless. Here are directions how TO
place four kings in different parts OF
the pack and then cut them together:
Take the four kings and exhibit them
facewise. but secretly place behind the
second one two other court cards of
any description, which. being thus hid
den behind the king, will not be Wis
ible. The spectators being satisfied
that the four cards are really the four
kings. and none other. fold them to-
gether and place them at the top Of
the pack. Draw attention to. the fact.
that you are about to distribute the
four kings in different parts of the
pack Take up the top card. which.
being really king. you may exhibit
without apparent intention. and place
4 al the bottom. Take the next card.
which the spectators suppose to De
.iso king. and place it about half
Eay down the pack. and the next in
like manner little higher Take up
the fourth card, which. being actually
king. you show carelessly. and re-
place at the top of the pack. You have
now really three kings at the top ami
one at the bottom of the pack. though
the onlookers imagine they have seen
them distributed in different parts Of
the pack. and are proportionately sur
prised when the cards are cut to fird
all the kings are again together. 1t Is
best to use knaves or queens for the
two extra cards. as being less distin-
guishable from the kings. should u
spectator catch a chance glimpse of
their faces

VERMONT DAiRYMAN'S ASSO-
CATION.

North Pomfret, VT, Dec. 80, 1901.
The experience OF the most progress
sivc and successful dairy states has dem
onstrated this fact: Tnat in this day oil
close competition and low prices, cream
erymcn and dairymen, in order to be sue
cessful. must practice scientific methods
in handling their products.
In my judgment the best way to find
your standing and to keep with the pro-
ceSsion is to attend this meeting, where
the best up-to-daic speakers have been
engaged to address us; the best butter
and cheese experts available have been
engaged.
An excellent banquet program. assisted
by Wilder's Orchestra of Montpelier, for
music. Gov. W. w. Stickncy, Hon. W.
W. Grout and several other prominent
State men will give short after dbner
speeches.
We respectfully invite every creamery

butter. Send one dollar to the secretary
for membership. This entilI. Won to the
Annual Report, with the privilege OF en-.
terng Il sample of butter or cheese.

The Siberian fiber,

While the keepers in the various

care in protecting their charges

N az exterior cage Of the lion house

Siberian tiger in New Works me-
nagcrie Such is the climate of his
native land that he need not fear
anything in the way of cold that
that city can produce. The Siberian

of the cat family, and some claim
for him the added distinction OF be.
ing the most fcrocious. In the VIM
ter the exile is one of the most at
tractivc features of the mcnagerie.
The colder the weather the more
animated he becomes. lie PAGES
the cage all day long with eyes
glowing and head erect, longing, no
doubt, to feast on the rosy children
who gather in crowds before his
prison. 1t is in hot weather that
the other members of the cat FAM
lily have TIE laugh on their hand
some cousin, as the saying is. The
Siberian Tiger has no winters of dis
content. he has summers. 1t is pitt
able to sec his suffering when the
sun begins to warm things up. Al
such times the poor beast lies on the
floor of his cage from morning to
night with his tongue hanging from
his mouth.

The Bellows Falls Times, prohi-
bitionist organ, says: "Using de
tective to ferret out murder would
be all right, but spotter to enforce
the prohibitory law is different
matter. This clearly demonstrates
that popular opinion does not class
violation Of the prohibitory law
with Il law against murder or arson,
and all the preaching in Chlisten.
dom will not change the classified
ton. The selling OF intoxicating
liquor in Vermont made Il crime by
statute, but in other states considered
an evil to be regulated, cannot be
put in the same class with violations
of the great organic laws of society
like murder and theft, etc, which
are in themselves crimes and he
cause they are crimes are prohibited
by law"
