Eight cents a pound is

She was thin and weak and
paid one dollar for a bottle of
SCOTS Emulsion, and by TAX
ing regular doses had gained
twelve pounds in weight before
the bottle was finished.
Eight cents a pound is

Blizzard PASSED EAST.
All Traffic Delayed In Several
Northern States.
STOPS TELEGRAPH SERVICE.

st. Paul, Jan. e.-The blizzard,
which prevailed in the Dakotas Tues
day night passed eastward, the storm
becoming general throughout the Da-
kotas, Minnesota and into Wisconsin,
northern Nebraska and northwestern
Iowa. Throughout the storm-swept
district the telegraph service has been
disorganized, and railroad traffic has
been badly crippled, trains being
abandoned in many districts In
southern Minnesota the wind has been
unusually severe. Albert Lea, near
the Iowa line. reports business practi-
cally suspended on account of the biz
card. ManlSato reports the gale
abating somewhat in the southern part
of the state, although the temperature
is rapidly falling. The snow, which
was not extremely heavy, drifted badly.
Brownsvalley, Mimi, reports the
storm tine worst that has occurred in
the last ten years. A heavy fall of
snow and northwest wind blowing
about forty miles an hour, makes
travel of all kinds impossible. All
trains were abandoned.
Omaha.-All trains were seriously
affected by the storm. The trains from
the west were most seriously affected,
although the trains from the north
were all late. Several instances are
reported where engineers stopped their
trains entirely during certain spasms
of storm, while they were on high or
exposed ground, being afraid to run
them because there was danger of be-
ing blown off the track while round
ing curves.
Deadwood, S. D.-A hurricane swept
the Black Hills region. Trees were
blown across railroads and several
trains were wrecked.

Reapina Machines in Syria.

Reaping machines were employed
this year for the first time by native
farmers of Syria. These pioneers all
came from Chicago. Eleven were
working during the late harvest in
Coele-Syria and twenty-six in the plain
of Esdraelon. Also, for the first time
in the history of this country, the pres
ent year has witnessed the introduc
ton and operation in Syria of a steam
threshing outfit. 1t came from Rich
mond, Ind, and caused considerable
stir in Coele-Syria, where it was in
stalled. Its success was complete,
even to the bruising of the straw-a
most important item, since, in the alb
sence of hay and with the sparing use
of oats, barley and other grains,
crushed straw, in these parts, consti-
tutes the staple food for stock. Fur
thermore, for the first time in the an
nails of Syria, an oil-motor -four mill
has been successfully started in this
land; it came from Indianapolis, and
is now grinding wheat in Lebanon

TAKE CARE OF YOUR DIAMONDS.
Some of the Finest Gems Are Liable
to Explode.

10 Explode.
1t has long been known that dia-
monds, especially the class known as
rose diamonds" are likely to explode
if subjected only to what would seem
a very ordinary degree of heat. 1t is
now believed that the explosions are
the result of the rapid expansion of
certain volatile liuids Enclosed in caVi-
ties near the center of these precious
stones. A great many diamonds, even
though cut, mounted and worn as
gems of perfection, are still in an IN
finished condition-that is, the liquid
drop from which the stone is being
formed has not as yet deposited all of
its pure crystals of carbon" These
movable drops may occasionally be
seen with the naked eye.
When this is the case a strong mi
croscope will give the drop the appear
ance of a bubble in the fluid in a car
penter's level. 1t is also highly prob
able that besides the liquid mentioned
these cavities may contain gases under
great tension. This being the case,
one may readily comprehend how
very small amount of heat would
cause the liquid and gas to expand to
such a degree that the diamond would
give way with an explosion.

The evening of the ball rolled

hair sprinkled copiously with Florida
water, his mustache creased and his
chin shaved. His hat was cooked to

she said, you'd look stylisher if you'd
take that air red handkerchief from
your neck" and off came the red ban

"Stell" was in hurry. She had not
begun to dress, and here it was close
to o'clock. Once upstairs she be-
gan squeezing herself into a corset
got it fastened. She frizzed her hair,
powdered her face, put on velvet
colored dress, tied a blue belt around
her waist and then she was ready.
The ball was great social success.
To her surprise the first man to ap-
proach her when she arrived was
the Doc. But she turned him away.
There were six members of the X Y
ranch that attended and after "Stell"
had danced with each one for a set,
she gave her time wholly to Calico.

TURKEY WITH THREE BIG LEGS.
Bought by Boarding House Keeper,
~ n.ox.5 . rtes,,air+ra,+

Bought by Boarding House Keeper
II Proved Disappointment.
In coop of turkeys received by
commission man yesterday was one
which had three legs. The whole
number are visible between the Stats
OF the coop, the extra one standing at
a slight angle from the two others,
but perfect in form down to the toe
nails.
The keeper of a small boarding
house expressed a desire to purchase
the turkey on account of the extra
leg, and said he would like to have a
whole coop of them, and would like
them to have four legs, if possible.
When asked why he desired so
many. legs on turkeys. he said he al
ways liked the leg of turkey, and
he had three boarders, and when
there was turkey for dinner he al
ways asked them what part they pre-
ferred, and all three of them always
wanted a drumstick.
OF course, only two of them could
be suited, and he never got drum
stick. The last time all three of the
boarders asked for a leg off one bird
he lost his temper, and said he
guessed they must think he was carv-
ing centipede.
After buying the three-legged tur-
key he found that the extra leg grew
out of another one at the knee joint,
and would be gone when the fowl
was put on the table, and so after all
the turkey had only two legs and a
half.-Portland Oregonian.
