STARTING IN HOUSEKEEPING.
All the Furniture of . Neigh
boring House.

A curious story concerning an easy
method Of starting in housekeeping
comes from Jefferson county, says the
Utica Journal. A WATERFOWL woman
owns a house in q small village and oc-
cupied it prior to May 80 last, but on go
ing to that city to live she locked It up,
leaving the furniture inside. A few days
ago she went to the village to see how
her property was getting along, and
greatly to her surprise she found that the
furniture had disappeared. A little later,
while looking around in the vicinity, she
saw a brand new pump, which she had
recently purchased, in the well on the
premises Of a neighbor. Following up
this clew, she called at the house, and
there found her entire outfit Of furniture,
carpets and dishes. The dwelling was
occupied by a man and his wife who had
been married only couple Of weeks, and
the former said he had found the house
Of the WatertOwn woman open, and, be-
lieving that the owner would not object,
he had borrowed the goods. He was evil
IDENTIFY repentant, readily returned the
furniture, and paid the woman SO for
its use. This seems to be an instance
where housekeeping is one thing and
furniture keeping another.

A CEREAL STORY.
AOtOr who once Made = Neal o.
Petunia, NRHtuFtium and
PanGy Seeds.

The refreshing part Of q story which
the New York Times recounts is not the
stupidity Of man in his domestic aspect
The particular man concerned is an actor
whose wife-an actress-is an earnest
advocate Of the theory that food should
at the consumer rather than the reverse.
Consequently there are periods when
milk flows necessarily through the
household menu. Again it is hot water,
and at other times nuts, fruits and grains
alone are relied upon to nourish genius
to its finest flower.
Once, in the grain age, the wife was
called away to a rehearsal that was like
ly to last well into the afternoon. She
told her husband that he would have to
get his own luncheon, and he cheerfully
consented to do it.
Il had fine meal Of your new cereal"
he said, when she returned.
What do you mean?" she inquired. Il
haven't any new cereal in the house"
why, that nutty stun you left on the
di- ,ng-room table"
The wife sat down suddenly. You've
eaten up my window-garden!" she
walled. "An my petunia, nssturtium and
pansy seeds!"

BIRD Not II An Timid.

One naturalist in trying to photo
graph the nest Of a rail stationed his
camera not more than two feet away;
but while he was in the act Of focusing
the instrument the bird fearlessly
stepped into the nest ana began to
cover herself with the lining Of soft
fiber. She was photographed several
times, and was then bodily lifted OF
the nest and carried some distance.
The naturalist fastened back to the
camera, but before a photograph could
be had the rail was calmly seated on
her nest again.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow

| it and set the matter right.

does not depend on the quahtity which is
taken into the stomach but upon the amount
of nourishment extracted from it by the or

organs are diseased they fail to extract the
nourishment in sufficient quantities to sup
