proverbs

4" When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
sproverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is 50 perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat.

FOOD VALUE OF OYSTER.
Bfvalve Does Not Rank with the Cod
Haddock or Mackerel-The
Blue Point.

AS a matter Of interest there is only
one species Of oyster. ostrea virginia.
along the eastern coast Of North
America, says Good Housekeeping
The western coast has at least five
species, but only two Of these are of i'm
portance, and these do not compare with
the eastern shellfish. Thus 1t is appar.
emit that blue point, a Providence
river and a Chesapeake bay oyster are
one and the same thing, SO far as spe-
cies Is concerned. The difference Is
merely a matter of environment, diff
ference in food supply and conditions in
growth.
The noted blue point comes from the
Long Island shore, from what was once
natural bed. 1t gets it's name from
the little town Of Blue Point, off which
the beds were discovered. These oys-
tiers were of handsome shape and extra
appearance, and at once commanded
fancy prices. 1t was only matter OF
time when these and neighboring beds
would be worked out. and then 1t was
found necessary to resort to seeding
or "planting"-that is, covering the
beds with young oysters from other To-
calities.
The oyster is rich in phosphates, but is
almost entirely lacking in fatmaking.
muscle-building material and those ele-
ments which go to make up physical
force and vitality. While il is whole
some and easily assimilated, the actual
1000 value of the oyster is not suffi-
cient to rank 1t with our great food
nshes-the cod, paddock. mackerel, etc.

TREES IN CHINA.

strsctfons for Planting of Tim

Tree planting in northern China is
being strnuously enjoined by the au-
thorities, not only as a productive in
dustry for the people. but alike as a
means Of strengthening the river en-
bankments against floods and of check
ing drought or late years, says Golden
Penny. trees have been cut down by
wholesale for agricultural purposes,
while the peasants do not take the
trouble to plant fresh ones, because the
soil is so loose that they must dig down
very deep for a satisfactory foothold.
So vast tracts Of fertile land are left
barren. while In the northern provinces

Two Centaries Ago.

The earliest instance known Of penal
izing smoking in the streets is in the
court books of the mayor of Methwold in
England. There is the following en-
try on the record of the court held Octo-
Der IA, 1895: I'VE agree that any person
that is taken smoaking tobacco in the
street shall forfitt one shillinge for every
time SO taken, and it shall be lawful for
the petty constables to distraine for the
same, for to be put to the uses above
said. We present Nicholas Barber for
smoaking in the street, and doc amerce
him one shillinge."

LOSS is OVER s4.ooo.ooo
Outside Cities Are Appealed to
For Assistance In the Fight
Against the Flames.

Rochester, N. Y, Feb. ga
great fire is raging in this city, on
Main street east, between st. Paul
and North streets. The heart OF
the business district is in flames.
OUTSIDE Ass1sTANCE SUMMONED.
Buffalo and Syracuse have been
appealed to for help. Dynamite is
being used to check the spread Of
the flames. Among the buildings
already gone are the Granite build
ing, high Office structure. the
store of Sibley, Lindsay, Curr & Co.,
Beadle, Sperburn & Co., Rochester
Dry Goods Co., and the Walkover
Shoe Co.
The loss is estimated at four mil
lion dollars. The efforts OF the de-
partment are centered on the west
wall of the Granite building to pre-
vent 1T falling and spreading the
FIRE. Should the fire once spread to
the west side OF st. Paul street, the
entire business section would be
greatly endangered.

NO MORE LIGHTNING RODS.

Ont on Favor, Though Still Credited
with Slight value.
Lightning rods have fallen into deep
disfavor almost every where nova
days, but they are valued least by the
hasty people who once valued them
most, and those who really know the
most about them still credit them with
a measurable, though small, amount of
protective power-if properly con-
structed and maintained, as they hard
ly ever are. For those who consider
even slight diminution of the danger
of lighting worth securing at some ex-
pense in money and a good deal of
care, the weather bureau offers infor-
nation and advice prepared for 1t by
Professor w. s. Franklin, of Lehigh
University.
The first desideratum is what the
electricians call good ground :
that is, close and permanent connec-
ton with a large mass Of high cleo
trical conductivity, like damp soil or
an extensive system of metallic pipes.
The lightning rod itself should be a
wide band, a thin-walled tube or wire
cable, rather than solid wire, for SO
is the conductivity Of given amount
of metal largely increased And Of
extreme Importance is it that the
course of the rod to the ground should
be as short and straight as possible.
If the pathway provided for the
bolt" be devious the impatient mes
senger from-or to-the clouds will
not follow it, no matter how much is
spent for glass or. other insulators.
while if the path be straight the insu-
lators are needless for any charge the
rod can carry.
What happens when ,od light
ming rod is put to test is thus described
by a man who went through the expe-
rience at a mountain hotel in this
State: az was standing on the piazza
when the most tremendous shock or
conclusion conceivable took place.
had a sudden sun dazzle in the eyes, a
bitter taste in the mouth, a violent
singing in the ears, a pungent, sui
phurous odor in the nose and severe
headache. Then I learned that the
house had been struck by lightning;
that is to say. that the conductors had
functioned effectively and mad safely
conducted the electricity into the lake,
instead Of the discharge falling upon
the hotel and wrecking it."-New York
Times.

her own bedroom set apart for her
own special use. A coy nook, with
her favorite books within reach, a COM
Portable lounging char and perhaps a
little table-at any rate, place for
her fancy work or writing materials
all this is very delightful and not alto
gether impossible for a small outlay Of
money and brains. Where there is q
bow window or a corner turret the
rest is easily arranged.
Perhaps the most satisfactory CDR
ner may be evolved where the win
dows meet at right angles, as in the
sketch. Here the curtains hang from
a variance that follows the angles of
the corner, the low shelves are filled
with books, while the top Of the book
case is a stand for plants in quaint
Dutch or Trentham ware pots. If the
shelves are to contain anything but
books they might have small curtains
to correspond with the other draperies.
Such corner is indeed conducive to
q lazy afternoon or a pleasant hour to
be spent among ones favorite authors
and flowers.

Feminine Comment.

Every interesting woman is a spoil
ed child. The rose must know that 1t
b lovely.
There's many a woman with soul
among the stars who gets terrible
Jolt when the cook leaves.
Be pretty, youthful and happy while
you can. There's plenty Of time COM
ing for old age and cat maps.
Big, worthless ambitions often unfit
us for attending to the little noble ones
that we might easily realize.
When your dearest enemy refers tc
you as shat woman" you can know
there's nothing left for her to say.
We often wonder why some Of these
devoted followers of changing fashions
do not claim that the stars are out Of
date
It seems as If some women say snip
py things 80 that you can have the
pleasure Of remembering, while they
have the pleasure of forgetting.
You have all met those poor, unhap-
py, far-sighted souls, who never enjoy
the flowers of summer because they
are 30 busy worrying about the ice of
winter.

CHAPTER XVI.

1t may be imagined with what breath
less interest | listened to Mr.. Mont
gomery's story, for it is almost needless
to remark that in Judith Stokes and her
father L recognized the Rev. Mr.. Porter
and his daughter. The events related
could not have occurred very long before
1 was sent as little child to Taber-
nacle House. But this early connection
of Judith with Mr.. Rodwell was some
what puzzling, for l had never seen
him come to the house farther back than
about eighteen months before l left 1T.
Once, while the narration was proceed
ing, 1 debated within myself whether
should inform Mr.. Montgomery of the
identity of "Bill' Stokes with my late
master; but for various and obvious rea-
sons l decided in the negative.
But another was not SO reticent. At
the mention of the red hair and the
strange eyes Of the girl, | saw Josiah's
face assume an expression of more live
ly interest, which gradually increased as
the narrator proceeded to describe Mr..
Stokes love of open air preaching. He
dared not hazard a remark until the
story was ended, as Mr.. Montgomery's
wrath was q thing not to be disregard
ed. But the instant the last words were
spoken, Jusiah burst out:
I'm forfeit my life, Professor. ii 1
don't know where to lay my hands upon
him this momentp'
what. Bill Stokes and his daugh-
ter?'
The very same. Is he a man with
stubby black hair, large mouth, nose
twisted on one side and crooked legsY
"That's the man."
'Then it is no other than Old Snuffles
that Silas has just bolted from. l rec
ognized him in a minute-didn't you,
Silas?''
l was now compelled tcsconfess that
I did; but much against my will, as
foresaw that this discovery would bring
to light all that l so ardently desired to
keep concealed.
fTo be continuedl
