7 want the attention for a moment of
the man who has clothed himself with
ready-made suits.
Have you ever compared your appear
ance with that of the tailor made man
and felt that you were just little be-
hind time? You see a handme down,
be it ever so carefully made, is quite
apt to, be- six months behind the fash
ion. Because the difference between a
spring suit and a fall suit is often. the
time it has laid on the clothier' 8
shelves. Left-overs are found in the
best ordered stores and you re a keen
buyer if you can tell the difference
when you buy. 1t shows tho, when the
fall styles come out.
IN not saying word about the econ
omy of Scotland Woolen Mills clothes
believing that to be past argument.
I'll say this. Select in your clothing
store the suit that has the right fabric
and then compare it with any standard
fashion picture. Does it even come
close?
On the other hand, you tell us just
what you want and we make it. We
duplicate the extreme styles for swell
dressers, we follow modest fashions for
business men, and we make conserva-
tive styles for the elderly. . 4
But the ready mades are all one and
the same.
Aren't you willing to find out for
yourself? Five minutes here is all we
require to show the goods and our facil-
tiles for tailoring.
You will thank us for calling your at
tentlon to the way you've neglected
your clothing. Yours,

CONGRATULATIONS.

John II. CullOm, editor of the Gar
land (TeNas) News. has written a let
ter of congratulations to the manu-
facturers of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as follows: Sixteen years
ago. when our child was Il baby, he
was subject to croupy spells and we
would be very uneasy about him. We
began using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in 1887. and finding it such n
reliable remedy for colds and Group,
we have never been without it in the
house since that time. We have five
children and have given it to all of
them with good results. One good
feature of this remedy is that it is
not disagreeable to take and our ba-
bies really like it. Another is that it
i not dangerous, and there is no risk
from giving an overdose. ! congratu-
late you upon the success of your
remedy" For sale by all druggists.

Longevity of Animals.

Statistics of the longevity of animals
may not be very accurate, but they are
interesting reading. Among the larger
species of cattle there is some approach
TO uniformity. Thus for the horse and
donkey the extreme limit is about 80
years and for horned cattle about 30.
For the dog it is given as %, while
sheep, goats, pigs and cats are grouped
at -. Among birds the disparities in
length of life are very remarkable.
While a goose may live to be 80 years
of age, a sparrow % and a crow 100,
ducks, hens and turkeys die of old age
at -. The palm for longevity is divid-
ed between the elephant and the par
rot, which both often pass the century.
The swan and the eagle also are very
long lived

Mrs. stanton and Bad Children.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was fond of
children, though not of bad ones.
Once in Boston she was calling on a
young woman whose little son, par
ticularly vicious urchin, played about
her while she converSed.
The child would pull his mothers
hair. kick and thump her, nor did he
hesitate to try now and then these
tricks upon Mrs. Stanton.
She said calmly, You are bad boy,
aren't yOu?"
He is a bad boy" his mother in a
sad. hurt tone confessed.
Il prefer bad children, though" said
Mrs. Stanton.
DO you?" cried the young mother.

Origin of the Tent.

An ancient Talmudic legend relates
that Adam on his expulsion from para
disc encountered n cutting north wind.
against which his Scant girdle of fig
leaves proved poor protection. AS he
wistfullv cast his eyes over the desc
late plair of Shinar he perceived at a
great L~lnce dead thorn bush.
Running thither. he crouched behind it.
and while still shivering he saw wild
ass come by. And Adam cried to the
beast 10 lie down alongside and keep
him warm. But the ass spake out
C'fOr asses sometimes spake in those
days as since" saith the commentator,
and derided him for not having Il
warm coat of fur, whereupon Adam
waXed wroth and slew the ass with a
piece of the thorn tree and, with teeth
and nails stripping off the ass coat,
wrapped it around himself. But to-
ward noon, the sun growing hot and
n scOrching wind arising, Adam con-
ceived the happy thought of hanging
the skin over the bush and repOSing in
the shade thereof. 1t was done, the
tent was invented, and civilization be-
gan.-Outing.

BABIES IN ARABIA.
The Way the Unfortunate Mites Are
Clothed and DOctOred.


They (Arabian babies are rubbed
with brown powder as soon as they are
born, and their eyelids are painted;
then instead of being dressed Inc soft
tiannels they are wrapped il calico and
tied up like bundle SO tight that they
cannot move hands or feet; then tight
hoods are put on their heads with blue
beads Sewed on the front TO keep OF
the evil eye. These babies cry good
deal, and l should think they would.
They cannot move. and flies and other
insects crawl over them and bite them,
and the sand gets in their eyes and
hurts them.
When u baby is about six weeks old
a sacrifice is offered, and the baby's
hair is cut and weighed, and the same
weight in silver is given to the poor.
If he hasn't more hair than some of
our six weeks babies its weight in
gold or even diamonds might be given
and not make the poor much richer or
the parents much poorer. The mother
puts charms on his neck and arms, and
q verse from the Koran is written and
put in a little silver or leather case and
hung about his neck to keep off evil.
If he is sick this is his medicine: 4
verse from the Koran is written with
ink on paper; then the ink is washed
of, and the inky water is given him
to drink. wish you could see the fun
ny little cradles these babies sleep in.
They are made of date sticks fitted to-
gether. The rockers are almost fat,
so when the poor thing is rocked he is
so shaken up that it is a wonder if he
is not seasick l am sure any good
American baby would rebel at such
treatment.-Record of Christian Work.

At the beginning of the last century

and drive the spectators crazy, while

greve's rockets as to trust themselves
