Exploded Delusions

How science does destroy our pet
whims. Our ancestors long held
the delusion that the ringing of the
church bells had the effect to break
up thunder storm. 1t was sup
posed that the vibration of the air
caused the dissipation of the electric
fluid in the air.
Hence on the approach of thunder
storms somebody used to brave the
elements, rush out and ring the VII
lage bell, thus affording the neces-
sary peace of mind to the frightened
sojourners.
All is changed now. In fact, the
contrary opinion is held. The vibra,
tion caused by the sound ofa bell on
an overhanging cloud may cause it to
discharge its contents upon the ring
or of the bell in the church tower.

You may talk about the Masons
And the Odd Fellows and such;
You may call them go fraternal
AS TO fairly beat the Dutch;
You may praise them If you choose TO-
With their mystic rites and noise,
But they cannot hold a candle
To the old Grand Amy boys.
For q man that has the money
Can learn all about their craft;
He can get degrees and passwords
That would make funeral laugh,
And be loaded down with symbols
But for true fraternal joys
They cannst hold a candle
To the old Grand Army boys.
They may talk about their badges,
But the one that has the call
Is the Star and Flag and Eagle,
Which is far above them all.
II was won where cannon thundered,
Mid the battles smoke and noise;
So there's nothing holds a candle
To the old Grand Army boys.
Why, they fought and bled together
And they shared the prison pen;
They faced the foe in battle
With the elbow-touch Of men.
Then the compact was cemented
Mid the battles smoke and noise;
So there's nothing holds q candle
To the old Grand Army boys.
They fraternal9 Well, 1 reckon;
And their charity's all right
Are theyloyal? They have proved it
For they left their homes to fight
And this Nation owes them homage
For the peace it now enjoys;
So there's nothing holds a candle
To the old Grand Army boys.

Bone FOOD

Scotland crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
rickets if you want to. The
growing child must eat the
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food, blood
must have blood food and so
on through the list.
SCOTS Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
children. Littledoses every day
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter,
loose joints grow stronger and
hrmness comes to the soft
heads.
Wrong food caused the
trouble. Rightfood will cure it.
In thousands of cases SCOTS
Emulsion has proven to be the
right food for soft bones in
childhood.

comnstltion of nosf rrnat


The beef trust is to have competi-
tion from an unexpected quarter
according TO a special telegram from
New York City. 1t is said that
American citizens have joined in an
enterprise with cattle and meat men
of Argentine and that contracts
have been made for a large refrige-
rator plant and wharves in Argen-
tina, with a view to shipping large
quantities of beef and mutton to
this country by way of q line Of
refrigerator steamships to ply
between Buenos Ayres aud New
York. The dispatch says that the
beef and mutton will be offered here
at prices considerably below those
maintained by the beef trust. In
European markets beef and mutton
from the Argentine Republic have
been in keen competition with
American meats for several years
Shipped from the South American
republic in refrigerator steamers to
London, Liverpool and other ports,
beef has sold in large quantities
from 6 to cents wholesale. The
beef trust has met these prices
abroad, but invariably has attained
higher rates here. But while this
plan will hit the beef trust It Incl.
dentally will Affect an interest quite
opposed to beef trust methods-the
great live stock industry of the
country.

If any young lady wishes to know
just what a blush is she can study
tho defiaition given in Southern
Medicine which is perhaps correct,
If any one can give better beyond
saying, getting red in the face we

erythema and calerifio effulgence Of
the physiognomy, aetiologized by
one perceptiveness Of the sensorium

librity from a sense of shame, anger
or other cause, eventuating in a

The great obstacles to the substi-
tuition of electricity for steam as a
motive power upon railroads, accord
ing to President Mellen, are the
character Of the construction of the
roads themselves, the frequency of
crossings and the danger attending
the conducting of the power by
third rail. And in spite of them
all, he expects within few years to
see the steam locomotive become in
the nature of q curiosity. It has
served a useful purpose, but it will
have no mourners when it is dis
placed.
