SOFTCORE
Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
Scott’s Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, Scott’s
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. It not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

Australia's Miniature Volcanoes.
A curious feature of the breakup
of the protracted and devastating
drought in Australia was the num
ber of miniature volcanic explosions
in various parts of the common
wealth. The ground had become so
parched and dry that it cracked, and
the fissures thus formed became the
receptacles of heated air. When the
long prayed for downpour of rain
came at last, the water met the hot
air in these fissures, and little gey
sers and volcanoes were manufac
tured in a moment. Many farmers,
hearing the explosions and seeing
columns of steamy stuir arising from
the earth, wondered what new
plague had come to afflict them and
whether they were out of the frying
pan into the fire.

Honeymoon and Jail.

for permission to stay in one of the

that they had just been married

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Th* Boy Who Wrote a VeHuebie ftoofc
When He Wee fteventoen.
In almost any public library, m
well as in many scientific collection*,
will be found a treatise on ornithol
ogy, entitled “The Land and Game
Birds of New England.” It is a
thoroughly prepared, well written
and valuable authority upon this
subject of so much interest to both
young and old students of birds.
But perhaps the most remarkable
thing about it is the fact that it waa
written by a boy less than seventeen
years of age!
The particulars as to how it came
to be compiled are as follows: Its
young author, Henry D. Minot, was
bom in the town of Koxbury, Mas 6.
His father’s farm, comprising about
thirty acres of land, was situated on
the edge of the wooded and open
country stretching away to the town
of Dedham on the west and the
Blue hills on the 6outh. Naturally
this was a famous place for birds,
almost every variety native to east
ern Massachusetts, as well as the
only occasional visitors, being found
here.
From early childhood young Mi
not showed a great fondness for na
ture, and her influence and charm
increased with every added year of
his boyhood. He never wearied of
wandering through these woods and
fields, exercising his habit of keen
and patient observation, and uncon
sciously the lad trained himself to
be an ornithologist. Nature was his
teacher, and he proved himself an
apt pupil.
It is related of him that he wrote
with facility and soon formed the
habit of recording his observations
duily. In this way he collected a
large amount of manuscript, out of
which he prepared the text of his
hook. After much hesitation he
submitted it to his eldest brother
and asked his opinion of it. He was
astonished at its thoroughness, ac
curacy and originality and procured
its publication. The book was well
received, sold rapidly and was soon
out of print.—American Boy.
Blr Walter Bcott’s Good Dogs.
Sir Walter Scott once told a vis-
itor that two hounds which were
lying before the lire understood ev
ery word he said. The friend seem
ing incredulous, the novelist, to
prove his statement, picked up a
hook and began to read aloud, “I
have two lazy, good for nothing
dogs, who lie by the fire and sleep
and let the cattle ruin my garden.”
The dogs raised their heads, lis
tened and then ran from the room,
but, finding the garden empty, soon
returned to the hearth rug. Sir
Walter again read the story, with
like result, but once more the dogs
came hack disappointed. Instead of
rushing from the room when their
master commenced reading the third
time, both hounds came and looked
up into his face, whined and wagged
their tails, as if to say, “You have
made game of us twice, but you
can't do it again.”—Our Animal
Friends.

Tommy had been tardy at school,

was the excuse he handed in:

“Thomas,” said the teacher after
she had read it, “1 have serious
doubts about the genuineness of
this. It looks very suspicious.”
“I know it, ma’am,” he replied,
sniffing. “I told pa it’ I could write
a heap bettern he could, but he just
would do it.”

a quarter of an inch. On the night

’Twould Spoil This Story to Tell It in
the Headlines.
To use an eighteenth century phrase,
this is an “o’er true tale.” Having
happened in a small Virginia town in
the winter of 1902. It is a story very
much of the present. Up to a short
time ago Mrs. John E. Harmon, of
Nelfa Station, Va., had no personal
knowledge of the rare curative proper
ties of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
“Last January,” she says, “my baby
took a dreadful cold and at one time I
feared she would have pneumonia, but
one of my neighbors told me how this
remedy had cured her little boy and I
began giving it to my baby at once and
it soon cured her. I heartily thank the
manufacturers of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy for placing so great a cure
within my reach. I cannot recommend
it too highly or say too much in its
favor. J hope all who read this will
try it and be convinced as I was.” For
sale by J. H. Blackburn.
Why Keene worm.
The other day a friend said to
James R. Keene: “Why do you work
so hard? You have all the money
you should want, and yet you keep
on as hard as when you were col
lecting your first million.”
The veteran Wall street operator
lighted a fresh cigar and replied:
“Ever see a young dog chase a rab
bit? lie’s just as eager after his
second and third as he was after the
first. As the dog grows old he
draws all his experience to his aid,
and though he may lack speed he
makes up in finesse. He displays as
much desire to catch his hundredth
rabbit as he did his first. Catching
them only whets his appetite, but
does not glut it. Say, I’d rather
talk horse.”
Danger of Colds and Gri .
The greatest danger from colds and
grip is their resulting in pneumonia.
If reasonable care is used, however,
and Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
taken, all danger will be avoided.
Among the tens of thousands who
have used tin's remedy for these dis
eases we have yet to learn of a single
ease having resulted in pneumonia,
which shows conclusively that it is a
certain preventative of that dangerous
disease. It will cure a cold or an
attack of the grip in less time than any
other treatment. It is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by John H.

i ne Care of Silver.
To prevent silver from tarnishing
place a few lumps of camphor in the
box or drawer Containing the silver
articles. This will neutralize to
some extent the gases which turn
silver dark. If silver is to be stored
for some length of time, it should
[ be cleaned thoroughly and placed
j in cotton flannel bags that can be
| closed tightly at the top. Then
| t hose bags should be wrapped in
I paraffin paper or, still better, in
! beeswaxed paper. To make the lat
| tor (it cannot be bought) take ordi
[ nary manila paper and lay it on a
smooth surface covered by a white
cloth. Shave the beeswax thickly
over the paper and then pass a hot I
iron over the paper, when the wax !
will be melted right into the paper.
Washing Glassware.
Glassware should be washed ir.
hot soapsuds and well rinsed in i
j clear water, then wiped with a fine j
\ linen towel. In washing cut glass j
lay three or four thicknesses of a
towel on the bottom of the pan.
which will make a soft support for j
[ the glass and render it less liable to

Ia brush to remove particles of dust

! bluing added to the water in which
i the glass is rinsed will enhance the

PINGPONG IN CHINA.
“Chinamen *re not devoid of hu
mor, aa is usually supposed,” said a
young Yale man. “I must admit
that one got the better of me and
left me uncertain as to whether he
was poking fun at me or not. One
night one of our pingpong balls was
knocked out of the clubroom win
dow and lay all night by the curb,
where I found it the next morning
and put it in my pocket.
“ bJohn, did you ever see a little
egg like this ?’ I asked him.
“ ‘No egg,’ he answered, with an
indifferent glance.
“‘What is it, then?’ I inquired,
wondering what he would say.
“ ‘Pingpong,’ he replied quick as
a wink.
“ ‘How do you know ?’ I asked.
“ ‘Read all about pingpong in
book,’ he said; ‘in old Chinee book.
Chinee play pingpong very long—
thousand thousand years. Pingpong
in China first, before Columbus, be
fore Greek men. Chinee stop ping
pong, write about pingpong, then
forget pingpong.’ ” —New York Her

The Forest of Vallombrosa.

forest of Vallombrosa, best known
through Milton’s famous lines in
“Paradise Lost”—
Thick as autumnal leaves that strow the

was recently partly destroyed by
fire. The forest is fifteen miles east
of Florence and consists of splendid
fir, beech and chestnut trees. In
the forest is what was formerly a
Benedictine abbey, founded about
1038 bv John Gaulbert. The pres
ent magnificent conventual build
ings were erected in 1673. The ab
bey was suppressed in 1869, and the
buildings are now used for a school
of forestry, supported by the Italian
government. Vallombrosa was vis
ited by Dante and is mentioned in
Ariosto’s “Orlando Furioso.” In
modern times it has been a favorite
resort of artists and tourists. —Ar-
