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
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

OPPORTUNITIES IN BRAZIL.
New Lines Of Construction That VIII
Probably Offer Openings for
Skilled Labor.

The construction of the great Rio
de Janairo harbor works, about which
| have repeatedly reported, and the
demolition and reconstruction Of a
number of streets in the city, already
commenced, ought to furnish an ex-
ceptional opportunity to American
building contractors-the American
iron and steel industry, the building
hardware trade, plumbing and other
similar trades and industries related
to architectural construction of private
and public buildings.
The new dock works will necessitate
the construction Of a large number Of
big warehouses, and along the new
avenues planned hundreds of modern
four and fVe-story houses will take
the place of the present old. low
slovenly-looking buildings.
y The reconstruction will begin i'm
mediately. Modern architectural
science, modern architectural build
ings, and the steel and iron construc-
tons are almost unknown here. There
is no reason why they should not be-
come appropriate and popular I con-
cider this great chance for American
industries and suggest that competent
agents Of the respective branches Of
industry should come down here and
Investigate the field. I hope to send
details later.

RUBBER GROWING I'M SIAM.
Thousands Of Plants Recently Set Out
Are Expected to Make
Large Yield.

The cultivation Of rubber In Siam
has only recently been started, soma
thousands of plants having been set
out as an experiment These plants OF
the Para variety (Hevea braspiensis)
are said to be doing exceedingly well.
although l believe they have had no
especial care, but have been planted
Unfortunately Ia various places and
under varying conditions Of moisture,
sun, etc. 1t is still too soon to tell
what the ultimate result of this ven
ture will be, but / am Of the opinion
that it will prove highly successful.
There is, however, one thing to fear,
namely, the new so-called disease,
which hear has developed in the Para
rubber plantations Of the Malay PENN
sula. l can learn nothing definite
about this pest, except that it attacks
the leaves and is very destructive. l
am inclined to the opinion that it is
caused by the larvae OF some insect
In this connection it may be inter-
esting to note two of the rubber-pro-
ducing plants indigenous to Siam. The
more important of these is the Ficus
elastica, so much used in the United
States for ornamental purposes and
found in large quantities in tina
Siamese Jungle and throughout India
and Indo-China generally.
Rubber is collected from these trees
by the simple process of making longi-
tudinal scarifcations in the bark, from
which the coagulated milk is taken in
long strips 1t is said that plant six
years old will yield four pounds OF
rubber annually of a quality which
could be sold in London at about 80
cents per pound, but this price APP
pears to me to be a trifle exaggerated.
The other rubber-producing plant Of
known commercial value is a creeper
OF great size, probably one Of the
Urceola (either U. esculenta or U.
elastica), although from certain de-
scriptions I am sometimes inclined to
believe it to be a Willughbeia. 1t Is
most difficult to obtain any reliable
information on the subject, from 4
botanical point of view, and 1t is quite
possible that both are Indigenous to
Siam. These creepers, whatever they
may be, yield fair quality of rubber,
produced by cutting them into sections
two or three feet long and collecting |
the juice, which is subsequently boiled |
for a moment in water and immediate
ly coagulates into a viscous mass,
which has to be dried by smolzir
over a fire before 1t can be handled,
The bark is also used, and upon being /
pounded and boiled gives about ten
per cent of rather inferior rubber.
It is said that these creepers grow
with astonishing rapidity, and that
two or three weeks after being Gu.
down they show . growth of six or
sever feet.
/ believe that both the F. elastica
and these creepers could be cultivated
with profit In the Philippine islands.

CONCERNING SUMNER SHOE
Smart Styles That Are Now Being
Worn by Fair Devotees
Of Pine Dress.

Shoes are conspicuous this year by
reason Of the short skirts, and the
woman of.the season IL INDUCING In a
variety of shoes. one pair for each
costume There are shoes for every
occasion and each pair OF shoes seems
prettier than the last, says the Brook
Ign Eagle. One Of the neatest pair
of Nes recently seen was made in q
golden brown shade, with Cuban heels.
These are little higher than the MILL
tary and little lower thax the Span
ish. They are very neat and display
the instep charmingly. Hosiery to ex.
actly match tho shoes was worn and
there were stockings with web so flmy
a. to seem more like lace than ike
stockings.
But the smartest thing of all is the
summer girls pumps. These are cut
on precisely the same lines as a mans
dancing pumps-very low-and are
worn without string or button. These
pumps come in tan leather, in Rus
STA, in patent leather and in all sorts
Of suede glazed and unglazed.
There is more and more of ten
dency to wear the very low tie and the
low shoe that is fastened with q big
buckle in the front The colonial slip
per is well known and 1t is revived
this year and is worn with and without
the tall tongue. Then there Is the low
tie with just three lace holes instead
of dozen. There is also the tie which
is cut high In the back and low in the
front, and which is extremely smart
for out-of-door wear.
For the house, as q dancing slipper.
a great variety Of ties are worn.
There are ties with strappings across
the front, and there are shoes that
have fancy fastenings of buckles and
buttons There are oddities In Jet
dancing shoes and there are dainty
pretty little things in satin with con-
trasting buckles and bows.

America as Italians See II.

The Italian people have no true con-
ception of America, though Italy is flood
ed with books of views principally OF
New York and the Pan-American exposi-
ton, and there is a brave effort mace
by the Italians in America to write home
adequate descriptions of the new land.
Once was called upon to settle most
bitter and acrimonious dispute between
two men as to what America was like.
One who had brother in Wilkes barre.
Pa, thought it was all coal mines, steel
mills and railroads, while the other
whose cousin worked in New YORK.

high buildings and railroads which run
over the housetops.-Leslie's Magazine.

New German Prndnnt

Artificial silk appears to be an
article of manufacture with a great
future. The Associated Factories of
Artificial Silk, a corporation here,
which was formed in 1900, is reported
how to manufacture five times as
much artificial silk as In 1900. The
exports Of artificial silk from Germany
to the United States, as far as l am
able to find, for the year ended June
30, 1903, amounted to $319,O6S.SS, Of
which $181, 430.11 was exported from
this district and $137, 63S.77 from that
of AK la Chapelle. l also find that
$97, 943.21 worth was shipped to the
United States during that period from
Lyons, France; $320SO from St.
Etienne, France, and S16,7O1O9 from
Brussels, Belgium-making exports TO
the United States amounting to $434,.
033.9S for that year.

Ashamed of Hairless Horse.

A farmer near Jackson raised a colt
that was as bare Of hair as a Mexican
dog. The parents of the freak were Of
the ordinary covered kind, and no the
ory is advanced as to the cause Of the
offspring's ridiculous nudity. The an
inIal grew to horsehood, but seemed so
sort of repulsive like" that tb ,wner
was ashamed to drive him r own and
kept the hairless monster at work on the
farm. A Jackson man heard OF the horse
and for $40 became his owner, and now
has an offer Of $500 for him, sum which
he has refused on the ground that the
freak is worth much more.

custom OF the state Of Indiana, says
the Star.
The state house lawn covers several
acres. And on this lawn the grass
grows luxuriantly. because Of much
watering and careful nurture. To cNt
this grass 1t takes two men with lawn
mowers, working steadily, about three
and a half days. Last summer thls
was done IA times.
The two yard men say that the grass
they cut from the lawn every time
would make a ton OF good, dry hay,
at 4 fair estimate.
When a section Of the lawn IL cut
the grass il raked into heaps and left
near the edge OF the sidewalk. That
Is to say. 1t is put there. 1t Isn't
Left very long.
Hucksters learned long ago that the
grass might be had for the asking.
Now they take, it without asking
Whenever q heap Of freshly cut grass
is left near the coping there is a
huckster ready to pile 1t into his
wagon. Sometimes he fills his wagon
with good measure, heaped up, with
extra sideboards on.
Sometimes the hucksters stand al
the curb, a hungry look in their own
eyes and those of their horses, wait
ing for the grass to be raked into
heaps. Then they almost fight for ii.
If one consults the market page for
the price of hay one will see that the
state of Indiana last year saved In
hucksters between $3.50 and
$175 that they would otherwise have
had to spend for hay. Or else the
horses might have staggered to death
under their loads.

TRAVELLER BITTEN BY FEAR.
Thought It Was Snake Bite and
with His Own Hand Applied
Burning Stick.

The agonies Of fear which follow the
site Of a venomous snake are described
by Henry Taunton In "Australind" One
afternoon, while Mr.. Taunton was herd
Ing cattle on an Australian range, the
overseer rode out to see how the new
hand was getting along. The CONVEX
sation turned on snakes, and the over
seer told Mr.. Taunton Of many instan-
ces of death from snake bites.
Il listened to so many stories that
evening that when, having ridden with
my friend part of his way home, turned
and rode slowly back to the solitary
camp, my mind was full Of snakes. 1t
was quite dusk as rode along the track,
which led through scrub and bushes.
Suddenly received sharp sting on
the thigh. A thrill of agonizing, sick
sning fear came over me that some
snake coiled in the bush had bitten me.
For moment lost all presence of mind.
The relaxing effects of fear made me
feel sick and faint. Certain death, in
most agonizing form, stared me grim
ly in the face. Overwhelming terror
nearly paralyzed me.
II was miles from any help. l could
not hack the injured limb off, as might
be possible had the sting been delivered
On the hand or foot. Only one chance
of safety presented itself to my distract
ed mind, and that was to cut away the
flesh round the bite and cauterize 1t with
The glowing end of ffe-stick, If only
could do it before the venom had been
absorbed into my system.
'Maddened with fear I galloped for
camp. flung myself from the painting
horse, rushed round like mailman, and
pitched brushwood on the fire until
brilliant blaze Illuminated the scene.
'Tn frantic haste | exposed my still
smarting thigh. Sure enough, there was
small puncture from which a minute
drop of blood exuded.
mo time could be lost, but even In
my extremity had not sufficient nerve
y at deeply into my own flesh. Max
ing two superficial slashes crosswise~
over the bite, seized one of the glow
ing embers and held it into the wound.
The torture forced me to desist before
I had sufficiently cauterized the fatal
spot, but felt it would be better to sub
NIT to my fate than to bear further self
inflicted pain.
Il was kept awake for hours by the
suffering from the burn, but finally
slept. When awoke / felt none the
worse Cor the accident. Gradually the
conviction stole over me that had been
the victim of my own fears and the prick
Of some thorny bush.
"Fhe sore place On my thigh remind
ed me for many days to come that prioks
and punctures are not we'll served by
means Of fear and flre-sticks"'

TO CURE THE HURRY HABIT
Tendency Which May Be Corrected by
Attention to Normal
Breathing.

II we want to get the habit Of hurry
out Of our brains we must cut ourselves
of, patiently and kindly, from the at
mosphere Of hurry about us, writes An
ME Payson Call, in Leslie's Monthly
The habit gets SO strong hold of the
nerves, and is impressed upon them so
forcibly. as steady tendency, that It
can be detected by close observer even
in a person who is lying on lounge in
the full belief that he is resting. II
shows itself especially in the breathing.
A wise athlete has said that our normal
breathing should consist of six breaths
to one minute. If the reader will try
this rate Of breathing, the slowness Of Il
will surprise him. Six breaths to one
minute seem to make the, breathing un-
necessarily slow, and just double that
seems about the right number for or
binary people; and the habit of breath
ing at this slower rate is great help.

the principal dish at high-class Japan
