That's what a prominent
druggist said of SCOTS
Emulsion a short time
ago. AS a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
81 milar expressions are
made so often in connec-
ton with SCOTS Emulsion
that they are worthy of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age SCOTS
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The act i o II of
SCOTS Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul-
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish-
ment-the kind of nourish-
ment that cannot be OBJ
tanned in ordinary food.
No system is too weak OF
delicate to retain SCOTS
Emulsion and gather good
from it.

1t once was the property of Captain Duval, a pri-
mingled in old tradition, wel-nigh forgotten
now, which invests the Rock of Perez with fitting
air of mystery.
From the earliest days the rock was considered
inaccessible; but time old man came to
Perez and said that he had been one of Duval's
crew, and that moonlight night the bold chief
had brought over from the island to the rock two
great chests of treasure, and two strange Indians
had lowered ropes by which Duval the narrator
and two more men were drawn up and the treasure
chests after them. They buried the treasure in
the top of the rock, and descended, leaving Duval
to follow. He remained alone top of the rock
till almost dawn, and then descended by the ropes
leaving the Indians there. When he was down, he
ordered his boat to put out three lengths from the
rock and with his bunderbuss shot and cut
the rope high up that no man could reach the
dangling ends. The old believed that the
Indians either were killed by Duval on the top
of the rock had secret way of descent else they
had cast off the ropes from the top by Duvals
orders.
None of the fishermen credited his tale would
help him in attempt to scale the rock. The next
day they found his body, crushed by falling floating
in the water at the base of the rock and it to
be spread about that supernatural forces battled
to prevent any daring climber from making the
ascent. However, two adventurous young men
found the way number of years ago; but being

Millinery Hints.

Each advancing day of spring makes the
felt hat look behind the times now. Its
place is taken by the lovely little capricious
touues in straw, erin and chiffon, which
are more adapted to the boisterous winds
of spring than the large hat, ready to be
blown awry at every gust. Toques of violets
are as sure a certainty about now as the
appearance of the sea serpent in the silly
season, but somehow we never tire of them.
This year they are thrown into relief by
clusters of dark red and aubergine roses.

RIPE OLIVES.
A Trick Which People in California
Play on Newcomers.

From the New York Sun.
Il have just returned from California"
said the traveller, land for your informa-
ton, in case you ever wander thither, let
me post you on one of the merry little jests
innocent tenderfoot.
About the first thing they'll run you up
against the California ripe olives Ever
eat them? You can hardly get them here
because they won't stand shipment. And
they're mighty good.
Most real olive eaters prefer them to
the ordinary green picked olive. The ripe
olives are picked also, you understand and
come out of the brine jet black.
After you have eaten and approved, they
will lead you on by remarking:
We'll, if you like them that way you'll
like them better fresh. Just stroll out to
the orchard with me and We'll have one
Then they lead you out to one of their
long lanes of olive trees. l pause to remark
that you don't know what olive green and
olive brown mean until you've seen those
colors in that slim, graceful little tree.
There are the fresh olives all right,
hanging among the gray leaves and looking
mighty tempting. You pick one, and bite
into it,
"Whew! Bitter? I can taste it yet. It's
all the quinine and rhubarb and worm
wood in the world combined in nasty,
haunting bitterness that hangs to you until
you have eaten two meals. 1t is an oily
bitterness that gets into the corners and
crannies of your mouth and won't be wash
ed out.
when you recover little they explain
that the brine takes out the bitterness and
that's why olives are picked"

between the bridges Is mpracticable-and
there you arei
Within the next five years. it is the hope
of the authorities that the Manhattan
bridge now in course of construction just
a few blocks above the Brooklyn bridge,
will be ready to take care of its share OF
the crowds; but none of the rapid transit
experts is optimistic enough TO prophesy
that this bridge, although it will have an
enormous carrying capacity, will materially
relieve the strain that has been put upon
the Brooklyn bridge since the day of its
dedication.
Because of it's crowds, Brooklyn bridge
has ever been source of more or less open
dread to those who use it day in and day
out; while 1t is no exaggeration to state
that to many resident of Manhattan 1t
is looked upon as a sort of modern adapta-
ton of the juggernaut, which no amount OF
victims can Satiate.
There is ample reason for these feelings.
Policemen are stationed at the Manhat-
tan end of the bridge and their reports are
sufficient confederation of the statement
that every working day of the year scores
of people receive minor injuries and bruises
in the brushes that take place about the
cars, both surface and elevated. Until the
loops for the surface cars were doubled In
number, somewhat over a year ago, the
papers not infrequently told of fatalities
life literally crushed out by the struggling
throngs of humanity fighting for foot
hold on the cars over half the dimnutlVe
area which is now the battle-ground and
which, when the rush is over is invariably
found to be strewn with shreds of clothing
and wrecked hats.
1t is not to be wondered at then, that
even strong men endeavor to escape this
crush by making for the bridge before the
worst of it has set in. And for the
man who imploreS his women folk so to
regulate their shopping and visiting that
they will be clear of the bridge by o'clock
in the afternoon at the latest, he is legion.
Not long ago group of six men was dis
cussing the crowds, of Manhattan After
five had told of their experiences in elbow
ing their fellow creatures in public places,
and being elbowed III turn, the sixth spok3
up:
''All that you have said is extremely i'm

pressive thing that can be said about our
congested streets is that nearly every man

tiers to be sure to take the surface cars, the

than at other places where the surging
thousands meet. One person is killed
every day on the streets OF the city. Some
of the victims are run down by trolley cars
at crowded crossings Others are ground
under the wheels of vehicles. The 100
wagons of a certain big express company
kill or injure one person every week of the
year. OF late the reckless chauffeur has
been responsible for many names on the
death roll. This taking and endangering OF
life in a score of various ways right before
the eyes of the city is not noticed beyond
the official reports, unless a victim happens
to be somebody of prominence. Such was
the case a few months ago when two we'll
known men were killed the same day on
Broadway, one by an automobile the other
by trolley car
the city of New York in its improvements
designed for handling the crowds cannot
keep pace with them, no matter how many
millions are spent. This circumstance holds
good also, with private enterprise
- 1t was only yesterday that the New York
Central railroad finished enlarging it's ter
minal at an expenditure of millions. Now
we'll be able to cope with the crowds, ="
said the officials in their pride. But what
has happened? Today these same boastful
officials are deep in the task of replacing
a comparatively new station with a much
larger one, which, they hope, will be roomy
enough to accommodate all corners FOR a
few years at least.
The Pennsylvania monster Improvement
was designed not simply for the purpose
of giving that road direct entrance into
Manhattan, but to provide it with facilities
that would enable it to move expeditiously
it's thousands of patrons who go into and
out of the city daily on commuters and
through trains. And because 1t cannot
build ferryboats big enough and rapidly
enough to accommodate it's passengers
without discomforting them by jamming,
the Delaware Lackawanna and Western is
also planning an entrance into Manhattan
via a tunnel under the Hudson.

FOR SPRING EVENINGS
Touch of Summer is Already
Felt in Frocks.
COSTLY SIMPLICITY
CUTEST SLEEVES ARE REALLY
NOTHING BUT PUFFs.
Toques Have Changed Styles of
Dressing the Hair

The new spring toque, it seems, is affect

spending fairness is noticeable. The hair is
drawn closer at the sides, tighter at the
back, and the full dip at the front is not
so much in evidence"
Quite as natural as life are the artificial
pieces shown by modish hairdressers. The
"transforma tions," as these pieces are
called are made on light foundation of
natural hair and in adjusting them to the
head invisible hairpins and combs in the
same color are often used. None but the eX-
pert in matters of hair can detect the ar
tificiality of the bewildering effects OBJ

piece in good order, and different arrange

for slight faces with regular features. This

ma is a crown of plaits much worn, and it

succeeds with these tyings and loopings as
easily as the milliner succeeds with ribbon.
Paintings are made in several directions, and

sorts; it is then slightly waved or left

French styles in evening hairdressing
often show an outstanding aigrette of enor-
nous height, with the hair waved and in
soft French coil with narrow fluffy dip
over the forehead. Loops of bullion or
satin ribbon may appear between the puff
ings and loops of another couture, and still

Coiffures for quite young girls are espe-
cially charming. A smallish pompadour or
parting at the front of the head and a
broad Topped braid at the back is the ar
rangement most seen. Around this braid is
placed the evening decoration-tiny wreaths
of delicate flowers or chaplets of satin rib
bon shaping half-blown buds, and ending
perhaps in some graceful fall at one or
both sides. These ribbon and satin bios
SONS are used much more for hair orna-
ments than flowers of conventional sort,
though camelias with pinkish cast, dew
dropped with rhinestones, sometimes ap-
pear. Whenever the shape of a head ad-
mits the Japanese broadening, made by
flowers placed behind each ear, the ar
rangement is charming one or a pretty
face.
Concluding this very important subject,
the evening couture which is not elaborate
and becoming will give look of neglect
to the finest toilet In truth, to great
degree it overshadows the evening gowns,
some of which are of the simplest charac-
ter But as has been shown, profuson
of hair on the head is not necessary, for the
effect of luxuriant locks is more easily OBJ
tainable through the medium of the false
pieces These it is no longer disgrace to
wear, and, as in the old days of wigs and
