Consumption

The only kind of consump.
ton to fear is neglected
consumption"
People are learning that con-
sumption is a durable disease.
1t is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle of
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use of SCOTS Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands OF
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where SCOTS Emul-
sion is.
Prompt use of SCOTS Emul-
sion checks the disease while it
can be checked.

STUB ENDS OF THOUGHT.

Keeping up appearances breaks
more hearts than keeping down ex
penses heal.
If language is the garb of thought.
what clowns some men appear in the
full dress of their expression.
Sloppy, careless business methods
retard as much promotion as the oppo-
site system creates.
The boundaries of wit should be
drawn within the comprehension or
those against whom it is directed.
Real repentance must consist more
of intention than regret.
Small ability is often injured by
small criticism, but real genius lifts
itself in confidence above the ridicule
of ignorance.
1t is sometimes better TO hear an
existing misfortune than to anticipate
one that may not come into our lives.
Moderation in all things is a virtue
in everything.
Those who measure the wit of others
by their own, insult no intellect but the
one that they do not possess.
Early marriages are sometimes mad
visable, for the reason that the son
may be found sowing wild oats in the
same field as his father.
Many men are weak only for the
want of space. in which to display
their ability.
There is only a short distance be-
tween direct carelessness and tacit dis
honesty.
We should never permit our own
views to be crucified upon the cross OF
another's opinion.
Friendship and respect is the sweet
est consolation to the old age of love.
Prejudice, envy and ignorance hold
in check much natural and undigested
talent.
Superficial readiness in conversation
is not an indication of wit. but often
only demonstrates the lack Of il.
Those incapable or careless in the
observance of instructions to them
selves, are incompetent TO issue or.
ders TO others.
Marriages should be built upon a
foundation of friendship and respect,
upon which may be constructed with
safety the temporal palace of non-pla-
tonic love.
Men who can not measure their own
temperatures should avoid posing as
moral thermometers towards the TEN,
permanent of others.

Four Practical Suggestions.

If bucket of paint has to be left
open, stir it thoroughly, so as to dis
solve all the oil, then fill up with
water When the paint is to be used,
pour OF the water, and the paint will
be as fresh as when first opened. II
a picture has been crushed in the
mails or in any other way, dampen
the cTeases, and press with a warm
iron. Turn your plush lap-robe so that
the nap runs down. 1t viii then catch
on your clothing, and will not be
continually slipping away from yon
on q cold day. Rub roasting-pans with
newspapers before putting them away,
and they will not rust.-Woman's
Home Companion.
It has been judicially decided that
when waiter spills a glass of water
over a laIy's dress in a restaurant the
victim can recover damages from the
proprietor. Fashionable restaurateurs
can hardly forbid their patrons to
wear perishable costumes. ana the
only thing left is to furnish gosze raer
waterproofs, after the fashion liar
prevails at the cave of ne WINS al
Niagara pending the disappearance of
the cataract down the tunnels Of the
power companies.

other western communities where
frozen ears are frequent. 1t isn't that
wOmen's ears are better protected
with furs and high cape collars. for in
the numerous instances in which wO-
mems ears are not protected they
bear The cold with no signs or dis,
comfort. You never see women wear

IN the height of the storm at mid,
night on January ,, a young Italian
woman came over the Barclay street
ferry from Hoboken. Her husband
met her on the New York side. She
was Gareheaded, did not even have
a shawl over her head as she fell in
behind him and faced the driving
snow. The husbands overcOat collar
was turned up to his ears and cap
was pulled down over them. wrapped
as he was, but the hatless woman
chatted on unconcernedly.
The only explanation l have been
able to work out is this, and it doesn't
seem wholly satisfactory, either: Wo-

COREAN WISDOM.

The Cosmopolitan is indebted 10 a
citizen of COrea for a number OF
proverbs and sayings which afford an
interesting insight into Corean modes

the intellectual aptitude and power OF

A Tin WEDDING.

There are so many things about the
celebration of a tin wedding that can
be made amusing that it is rather
mistake 10 take it too seriously. The
best plan is to bring in as many droll
features as the imagination will sug-
gest, without making the provocatiOn
TO amusement too much of an effort.
1t is not feasible to have the invita-
lions sent out on sheets of tin, but to
the cards ca which the invitations are
written may be attached little strips or
tags of tin. The wording of the invi-
tation may be as simple as one chooses.
There cannot be very much done in
the line of tin decoration, although I
have heard of taking the sheets of tin
from which tinsmiths have stamped
patterns and utensils, and putting
these up as a background for flowers
The many bright, irregular points OF
the tin caught the light, and in the
openings were thrust punches of flow
ers, ferns and greenery of different de-
scriptions. The effect was odd, but
pleasing.
All the mowers that are put about
the room should be in tin receptacles
instead of in vases of glass or china.
The bouquet carried by the bride
should be placed in a tin funnel. 10
serve as a bouquet-holder. If this is
decorated with ribbons it will be very
pretty. The brightness of new tin will
contribute To the gay effect and be of
value wherever it is used.-Woman's
Home Companion.
