Struck by a Train.

Wallace Sheets, aged 20, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Geo. Sheets, met with an ac-
cident Saturday evening that came
near proving fatal. He and his broth
er Ira were walking to town on the c.
q A. track near the City Mills when
the "Plug," a local passenger train
came upon them, and the noise from
the mill prevented them from hearing
the train. When the train was almost
to them some one from the mill warn
ed them and Wallace, thinking he
was on the main track, stepped over
to what he supposed was a switch track,
bat he was mistaken, and just as be
stepped to the track the engine struck
him, knocking him down and breaking
his left arm just below the shoulder.
He fell close 10 the rail, his head being
almost against it. He Is getting along

Feeding The Dairy Cow.

Those who read the papers have
noticed brief accounts of a contest that
is now going on in st. Louis by which
it is hoped to determine once for all
the best breed OF COW for dairy pur-
poses. Every breed that has any
claims as n milk producer Is on the
ground and actually tested. So far
the Holstein- FriesianS have the best Of
the contest but Of vastly more Impor.
lance than this to average dairyman Is
something else that the test promises
to demonstrate, It's the old story that
farmers will o believe OF the impor-
lance Of properly feeding the dairy
COW. Under one set Of feed superin-
tendents these winning COWS averaged
forty-one pounds of milk a day, Then
new superintendents we're employed
and in less than a month each OF the
same COWS were giving fifty-seven
pounds of milk daily.

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest Of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and

TAKE TO TATTING.
women Of Leisure Have new oc-
cupntion In the Fancy work OF
Their Grandmothers.

Women of leisure have new occupa'
lion. They have taken to the fancy
work of their grauddames and grand
aunts Flimsy knotted tatting is to
be seen these days in the slender
hands of fair maids and young matrons.
scores of years ago 1t was the fashion,
able handiwork of women when SPEND
ing the afternoon at the homes OF thelr
friends In those far-olf days too 1t was
the favortc trimming for dainty un-
derclothes, and also the fancy aprons
in which no grandmamma or fond mann
mas daughter ever failed to appear.
And now, after all these Ions years,
some clever maid has rcsurrectcd from
some long-unused worlSboN "a tortoise
shuttle. After weaving it in and out
with the finest linen thread the trim
ming of her long-dcad ancestors APP
pears.
But one thing is sure, the maid who
undertakes TO make this fancy trim
ming for garments has delicate white
hands with perfectly cared fornails. The
girl who has not long white fingers
tipped with she'll pink nails never takes
to her grandmother's tatting foramuse-
ment. The long shiny thread needs to
be twisted about the thumb, middle
and little fingers Of the left hand, while
the old-fashioncd shuttle is taken dcl-
icately between the thumb and the
first finger of the right and slipped in
and out, over aud under, time and time
again, while the pretty hands are well
exposed to view.
In no hand work are wcll-cared for
fingers so much shown to advantage as
In the dainty handwork of the grand
danes. Knitting crocheting and sew
ing are all well enough in their way,
but fair fingers will become stained
from the dye in wool. No matter how
beautifully brilliant the reds and pinks
may he in yarn and worsted, it is am
other thing when ii is transferred to
fingers which should always be spotless.
A delicate steel needle may also look
pretty glistening in the sun, but pricks
are never comfortable and the scars
left from them are not supposed to be
becoming to the lilies who neither toll
nor spin.
But tatting is different Not only is
1t pretty work, but its simplicity rec
ommends it to those fair ones who love
to chatter. After the number of knots
in the little round meshes are once well
fixed in the fair tatters' minds it is not
necessary that the progress of the work
should be studied. Only thought need
to be given that the fingers are held in
graceful pose. Then, too, such won
ders in the way of shuttles have been
originated by goldsmiths. They alone
would turn the heads of ones grand
mammas. These poor, simple dcars
were quite content to make their tat
ting with black rubber shuttle, or tho
most envied OF their number was
sometimes presented by Reuben or Jo-
siah with tortoise shell that was
shown about the neighborhood and was
discussed for weeks to come at the tea
drinkings of sisters, cousins and aunts.

A BACK LICK
Settled the Case with Her.


Many great discoveries have been
made by accident and things better than

discovery that coffee is the real cause Of

contemporary gives the following
advice to its fair readers: For n mans
birth, look TO his linen and finger nails,
and observe the infections of his voice.
For his tastes, study the color of his
ties, the pattern and hang of his trous-
ers, his friends and his rings-if any.
For his propensities, walk round and
look carefully at the back of his head.
A symmetrical cerrebellum, with we'll
trimmed hair, is an indication of self
control and energy If you want sue
cessful man, see that he has n neat foot:
he will move quicker get over obstacles
faster, than n man who falls over his
own toes and trips up other folks with

nent TO him when he is starving and
ask him TO carry bnndbox down the

nose is little on one side and you don't
like the way his hair grows, There are
other ways which will suggest them
