Reflections Of a Bachelor.

her own living to get married as for a

A woman has an idea that her balance

Some women seem to think that a man
ought to be able to live on the interest of

ABOUT THAT COAT

You wear a coat. Why?
To keep the cold out? No;
to keep the warmth in.
What of the body that has
no warmth-the thin, poor
body that lacks the healthy
flesh and fat it needs?
For such we say that SCOTS
Emulsion provides the right
kind of a coat. Why? Be-
cause SCOTS Emulsion builds
firm, solid flesh and sup
plies just enough fat to fill
natures requirements no
more. That means bodily

American Trade with Russia and Japan

There appears to have been very
general impression throughout this
country that the trade of the United
Statos with Russia is vastly in excess
of that with Japan. If we deal with
the question of trade balances this
woull be true. as we purchase vastly
more from the Japanese people than
we sell them. When. however. the
volume of trade alone is considered. our
commerce with Russia is vastly small
Ter than that with Japan. This fact
will be very clearly shown by reference
to the Goth number of the volumes Of

1t is question to what extent the
undue leniency exercised by the courts
is responsible for the alarming increase
of crime throughout the country. cur
rent events continue to throw some in
teresting sidelights on this question.
Judge Johnson, of Delaware county.
Pennsylvania, is noted for the stiff SEN
fences he imposes upon convicted crln-
inals. A burglar who was recently SEN
fenced by him to eight years in the PEN
itentiary, complained bitterly that he
that he had been given but eighteen
months in Baltimore for eight burgla-
ries and four larcenes, and that he had
been at liberty but two weeks when he
committed his crime in Delaware coun-
ty. He evidently felt that upon the
Baltimore basis of dealing out justice,
instead of eight years by Judge John
son. There is unquestionably call for
more iron on the bench in many parts
of the country if the interests of socie-

those who prey upon it. 1t is interest
ing to learn that as a result of Judge
Johnson's treatment of the criminal
classes they are giving Delaware cOun-

diplomacy and its influence tor cviliza-

taSonsmS have prevented a universal rec
oSnition of the American government s

While patriotism would have dictated
communication for the achievements of

instigated carping criticism and sensa-
t'onal predictions of disaster. Yet the
net result leaves room for nothing save
satisfaction. During the last few years
this country has grown UNNECESSARILY in

less reputation of being sincere in its de-

at home and studying the speech of
cats. Johnson is a man of liberia edu-
cation, having been graduated from an
Eastern college, who prefers to live the

eight cats, to mingling with the world
and dealing with more commonplace

pets caterwauling. 1t is his conten-

and more strident notes of their vocal
organs. He claims to have classified
the different calls for various kinds of
food and drink, and maintains that he
can tell by the infection of the cats
voice whether the animal wants water
or milk. When one of his pets is
hungry he locks it up in a room with a
monograph loaded with the receiving
record. When we'll fed and contentel
he places a machine by the sleeping
