The item in yesterdays Gazette,
describing the daring feat of a young
man named Allen in climbing to the
weather vane on the City Hall stecple
saturday afternoon brought up rem
lniscences of other similar perfor-
mances in that locality. Reference
was made to "Chip" Thompson fall
ing from a tight rope at King and
Royal streets. 1t WAS stated that the
accident occurred in 1869. 1t should
have been 1879, according to a note
IN Il scrap book made by the writer
at the time, and which date he had
in his mind yesterday, but he invcr-
tently wrote 1869.

rs POUNDS or BLOOD

is the average quantity in healthy
adult, but it is the quality Of the blood
that determines our strength to resist
sickness. With weak blood we find
cold hands and chilly feet; in children
an aversion TO study, and in adults
rheumatic tendencies.
In changing seasons get abundant
fresh air and take a spoonful of Scott S
Emulsion after meals, because Scott S
Emulsion is rich blood-food that will
increase both quantity and quality OF
the blood while it warns the body and
helps carry off the impurities.
When multitudes of people are to-

their children, it is careless to neglect
its benefits iool, ont for substitutes.
