THE ATTRACTION OF U0LINESs. t.

There is something In human
nature to which nothing appeals
more strongly than the unusual or
bizarre; and, a. David Haru1
sagely remarks there is 40 much
human nature in one person as in
another, il not . little more. 1t
is, no doubt, the touch Of the
bizarre in all that is extremely
CHASTITY and horrible that attracts
the attention aud excites the utter
est Of the populace. 1t 10 this
morbid interest, in. many instances
amounting almost to insanity, that
makes,,n heroes...of great Grim
inals-that'".is, 'ssofi.criminals who
introduce into the commission of
crime something unusual iu means
or methods ;sssome extreme Of bru-
tally or fiendishness that does not
appear in the work Of the ordinary
law breakers.
1t is this, no doubt, that brings
to the most dastardly assassins that
ever set their seals upon the Grim
sou pages OF the history of crime,
the tender messages aud bouquets
aud baskets of flowers that are
received by SO many condemned
murderers. And it is not alone
hysterical, weak-rniuded women
who are thus affected by the story
of some horrible crime, but strong
men, of more than average mental
strength. are likewise fascinated
byl the .ghastly "details. Sight is
lost, in a measure, Of the common
place stage accessories OF heart
broken.widowslaud orphaned chill
dren ruthlsssly thrown upon the
cold charity of thei.world by the
act Of the assassin; aud the inhu-
man wretohes who are, the cause of
so much suffering and sorrow hold
the center of the stage. The fasci
mating features Of extreme repul-
sivensss are never more clearly
demonstrated. Miscarriage OF JUS
tice have herein partial explsna-
ton.
The evil is apparent but the
remedy is not 90 clear. -ErchdNQe. |

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young /;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump.
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air.
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
