How To
Gain Flesh

Persons have been known to
gain a poundd dayby takingan
ounce of SCOTS Emulsion. It.
isstrange, but it often happens.
Somehow the ounce produces
the pound; it seems to start
the digestive machinery going
properly, so that the patient is
able to digest and absorb his
ordinary food which he could
not do before, and that is the
way the gain Is made.
A certain amount of flesh is
necessary for health; if you

origin of the Elephant and the Demo-, 1 cratic TlonIkey.

Origin of the Elephant and the Demo-, 1 crntic Donkey.
 From a letter in Harper's Weekly.
 My attention has recently been called to an article in your issue of Septem- Der 19, in which Mir. Albert Bigelow Paine credits Thomas Mast with invent ing the donkey as the symbol of the Democratic Party. This statement, originally made by Mir. Paine in his book on Mast, undertakes the extent to which Mast utilized the symbols of the earlier American cartoonists. The first Democratic donkey" to use MT. Paine's phrase, is to be found in a cartoon is sued in 1897 representing Jackson as modern Balaam riding an ass. The ass stands for the Democratic- Republican Party of that day. Its progress Is stop ped by the Angel of the Lord, brandish- ing a flaming sword. and Van Bure1, sctepplng in It's tracks. Is saying that he follows in the footsteps of his illus trious predecessor. Thus the Demo- cratic donkey originated in an appli- cation of the story of Balaam. The de- sign recurs in modified form in the so- called "shinplaster" caricature. A car- toon of the campaign of 1S44, drawn by E. w Clay, represents Tyler as trying to balance himself between a Whig horse and Loco Foco," or Democratic donkey There were probably other uses of this symbol At a later day Mast revived, consciously or uncon- sciouly, the symbol used for the Demo- cratic Party by earlier cartoonists. Tn the cartcatures of Jacksons' administra- ton the United States Bank was rep resented as an elephant with Jackson twisting It's tail, The elephant Mast used for the Republican Party.

 The history of this name begins with the Levite Mattithlah of 1 Chron K si. The name Feappears as Mat tathah In Ezra \. s3 and as Mattaniah in 1T Kings xxiv 1T. In the New Testament we~ find the Graectzed form Mattathias In Luke Hi. 2s. and It's shortened forms Mattaha in Luke Ill, 3i. Matthaios In Matthew, K. 2: 3; Mark 1T.

 It Is a compound of the Hebrew rnatthan gift and Yah, the sacred name Yshveh, hence signifies ''the sit of Jehovah.
 The name became Mattbieu in French and had Mace (two syiIables' as hypocorfstic form.
 Matathau, Matthan and Matan gre found in AHglo-Saxon England as the name of a monk Matthaeus came with the Nermans and brought its hypocoristic form.

CAUSES OF DIVORCE.

 " fy and DesertiOn.

 s ty and DesertIOn.
 Golfers.
 Various opinions have been sent to us recently, on the subject of divorce. To many, of course. marriage is an indis- soluble union, a sacrament. not civil contract, and divorce in this view be- comes impossible. Among those who look upon marriage as a civil contract, the principal scandal grows from two causes. The difference in the State laws enable the rich. by residing a while in
 some such spot as South Dakota, to pro-
 cure release at will The other cause
 of scandal in this country is the readi-
 ness with which the courts and referees
 allow the laws to be evaded; unlike
 England. for instance, which has an
 officer of the Crown whose duty it is
 to prevent coIlusion. The most inter
 esting contribution which our mail has
 brough on this topic takes us far away
 from the conspicuous divorces of the
 rich and from newspaper accounts of "aff1nities," and draws a picture from
 the wide, observation of an official court reporter. The instances of mere whlm | he estimates as two or three among a thousand. The rest are much alike. While the husband now and then ap- pears as complainant, the great ma 1 jority of the actions are brought by the wife, the most usual grounds being cruelty and desertion. Two typical cases are repeated day after day. First. take a charge of cruelty. The husband
 is a man of violent temper. aggravated l by liquor. He comes home intoxicated. 1 ehokes his wife. pounds her with his l fists, and threatens to takeGher life. 1 His habitual language in the house. in the presence of the children. is made up of oaths and obscene epithets- The children and wife are in constant fear
 The other frequent case is that of the deserted wife. who is left with young children, to struggle alone. If she has no relatives to care for the children while she works she must give them l away to some institution or to strang- CTS. for 1t is seldom that woman
