The matter Of feed IS of
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
he most milk, his pigs to get
he most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, bone food if bones
ire soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
Ire thin and weak and a blood
;ood if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.

Slow Work on q Great Church.

At the present rate of progress the
Cathedral of St. John the Divine, in
course of erection on Morningside
Heights, New York city, will be finish
ed in about the fifth generation. Scarce
ly any change has been made in the
appearance of the structure within the
last year, the gigantic arch and sac
risty being the only portions of the edi-
flee yet completed. Notwithstanding
this, however, the work is being car
ried on gradually. The reason for the
slow progress is the lack of funds and a
disinclination of trustees Of the build
ing fund to saddle themselves with anp
Indebtedness. The work of raising mon
ey to build this, the greatest church
edifice in the country is necessarily
slow. In connection with the cathe-
dral ii is not generally known that the
temporary structure used for services
at present contains the finest collec-
tion of Gobelin tapestries in this coun-
try, If not in the world. These tapes
tries, which were the gift of Mrs. Da-
vid Wolfe. are really fine specimens Of
the ancient art of Gobelin workmen
of the seventeenth century.-Pittsburg

An Atlantic Ocean Graveyard.

The most important headland in the
world is Cape Race, the southeastern
extremity of Newfoundland. 1t has
also most unenviable notoriety. Some
of the most terrible tragedies in mar
inc annals have occurred on this rug
ged, dangerous foreshore. An official
chart shows the disasters there during
the last forty years. Together with
some not inscribed thereon they rep
resent total of ninety-four complete
wrecks of ocean-going vessels-steam-
ers and saiers-involving loss of
about 1000 lives and $30,000,000 in
hulls and cargoes. Ships which strand
ed and afterward escaped are not in
cluded. Last year alone eight steam
and two sailing vessels came to grief
there, thirty-five persons perished and
a property loss of 100000 was in

Wants q Declaration.

Mr.. Proctor, of the United States ci-
vii service commission, is reported as
desiring the United States to assume
its responsibility as a world power and
preserve its markets for surplus pro-
ducts by declaring in the strongest
diplomatic language that any attempt
by European nations to "dismember
the Chinese empire is dangerous to
our peace and safety and as such an
unfriendly act" In other words Mr..
Proctor desires the United States to
make an extension of the Monroe doc
trine which will fatty repudiate its
essential principle that the United
States does not undertake to dictate
or control the destinies of non-Ameri-
can nations and therefore will repel
any attempt from outside to dictate
or control the destinies of Ameri-
lean nations. AS the sole reason for
this new example OF world power
talk is to preserve markets for surplus
products, why should not the United
States interfere with politics in Eu-
rope. which buys more American pro-
ducts In one year than China does In
twenty?-Pittsburg Dispatch.

1t is somewhat difficult to ascertain

most reliable Jewish citizens told me
in conversation that there were fewer

own printed figures in an almanac
which he published reckoned the Jews

best informed outsiders claim that
there are at least 1000 Jewish famil-
les in the city, which would support
the larger estimate. If this figure be
Correct then the Jews OF Jerusalem
are more than twice as numerous as

Mayor Tom Johnson, who has so
long been made target for injunc-
tions has turned the tables upon some
of his enemies and has assumed the
offensive. Last year his three-cent
fare project was fought by relentless
series of injunctions, which held it
in check and finally resulted in
rending the whole fabric of municipal
government in this state. Yesterday
johnson went into the courts and ask
ed a restraining order, preventing the
Cleveland City Railway company
from laying track on certain
street. The street is one upon which
Johnson had proposed to construct
his new three-cent fare line and his
contention is that the rival company
has not secured an adequate number
of consents from property owners.
The people of Cleveland, the great
majority of whom are in sympathy
with Mayor Tom and his three-cent
railway, will watch the outcome of
this fight with much interest.
