Hub well with ADour colds Don't think you iirc justi- fied in being laid up with a cold lialf the winter merely because it'.s the season when everybody i.s suj)posed to have colds. At fir.st a cold may not amount to much but it is likely to hang on long enough to give you trouble if it is not stopped with Scott's Emulsion. 'Ihese colds that hang on weaken the throat and lungs and make the way ca.sy for pneumonia and perhaps con- sumption. It is just as well to reduce the chance as much as po.ssible, Scott's Emulsion soothes, heals and cures /i cold and does it quickly â€" that's a good point to re- member.

SHIRT WAIST FASTENINOS. No hooks and c.vcs on wa.sh waists, should be the motto of the amateur dreSBmaker. Buttons wherever pos- sible, for, under any circuiuntances, the,v are far preferable to hooks. In the dre.ssy waists, buttons and but- tonholes can be hid uii-der a fold. In the Wash waists, handsome buttons may be fa.stened on with a tiny split ring and readily reinove<l when the Waist has to go to the tub. In the waists which fasten at the back, but- tons are niucli more reliable than hooks aixl eyes, or hooks and loops. So few people make good button- holes that the temptation to use hooks and eyes a-if being less trouble, is very great. Hut It is a mistake. Just as is the using of strings, in lieu of buttons on undergarments. The best fitting jfarments, whether those that are visible or those that are hidden, but none the less require smoothness in order to make the garment set properly above them, are those securely fastened with plenty of buttons which will not break in the wash. The nev-d of plenty of button.i shotild be empha- Bi/ed, be.'ause the ten-diuicy seem.s to be toward fastening a .shirt-waist in the back with aboutflive buttons, and this means iinsightl.v and untid.v gaps.

Stirring Incident of the Franco- Prussian War. The little village of Josnes is situ- ated on the route covered by the Prus-s-ians in the France-Prussian War of 1871. The peasants of the neighborhood never weary of relat- ing their experiences with the soldi- ers from over the border. The Prussian soldiers had a little way of carrying oil with theni any good horsof? th»>v came across. Mon- sieur Leiriaire owned ihe linesl iiorsNj in the village, and was detcrim]»e<l not to give the animal up if he could help it. A company of soldiers pass- ed through the town, picking up aev- eral hordes as they went , much to the chagrin of their owners. After the raid was over the neighbors were surprised to learn that Monsieur Le- maire's horse had not been among those soi/.ed. The quick-witted Frenchauan had lied a piece of twine about the horse's hind leg, almost stoppini;: the flow of blood. The leg .swelled, and the animal became so lame that the officers who saw him in the pa.sture did not even make an attempt to take him. After the passing of the soldiery, the string was i"cmoved anti the member care- fully bandaged. In a week the horse Was as well as ever. At various times the peasants were compelled to quarter the soldiers. Not onl.v were they forced to supply food an.l lodging, but anything of value in the hou.se was pretty likely to be seized by the unwelcome visi- tors. The pride of one little home Was a clock that had been owned by the family for nearly a centur.v. When it was learned that the soldi- ers were conung, at the suggestion of Ihe inater fainilias the clock was taken to pieces and the parts hid- den in different places about the house. The soldiers arrived. Alter they had Ijeon there a couple of days tho pea.sant returned from his work at night to find the clock staivding on tho shelf, ticking awa.v as usual. One of the PniBKians, being of a mccliani- cal turn, had diwovcred the ruse. He had accordingly hunte<l up all the pieces of the clock niKt put them to- gether. The soldiers were ordered el.sewhere a day or two later, but the clock Was left behind. All through that section of the countrv, known as the "granary of Franco." ther,^ ore windmlll.s.

Imring the war these mills did good service in indicntinjr to the French' ofTicers the whereabouts »>f the Prussian army. The fans of the Hiills were arranged so that the.v faced the spot where the forces of the enem.v were the thickest, the mills thus serviuK as signals that, could be .'O'en a long distance aWa.v. The Pru.s.-iians never learned tlie trick, which was employed all through tho war. TEACHIXa HENRY. 1-ittle Henry had run away, lleioro he was ca|>tured mother had pa.ssed some anxious moments. Now that he was .safe at home again, .she took him on her knee and saifl, "Ilenr.v, mother wants to tell you a little story." Ho noddc<l his head in grace approval. "One time mother was far away In a little town. One night when she was fast asleep, a bell begiAi to ring lou<l, right dose to her house. Ding- dong! ding-dong! ding-tlong! Mother Woke up. She was frightened, and ran to open the window. A man was calling loud and ringing tho bell. -Child lost!' Hing-dong! 'Child lost!' ning-<long! 'Child lost!' Ding- dong! "Mother's heart beat fast, and she stood by the window and listened â€" listenedâ€" listene<lâ€" until she could not hear it any more. lUit she couldn't go to sleep again, because she was BO sorry atiout the little child's mother. Ill the morning she went <iut on thi' street and asked a man. 'Is the child found?' He shook his head. Pretty soon she went out again. an<l asked another man. "Is the little child found'.>' No, not found.' he said. In the nl'leriioon. | when it was getting dark, she asked a lad.\ . llnve they found the child?' And the lady said. 'Yes, he is found. Poor little boj'! He was drowned i' the lake!' " Mother stopped. For n inlnnto Henry lookeel at her soleiniily with ivide-open eves. Then his lips parted, and a fright ein-d little voice said: "Tell me bout it again." She hesitated, divided l>etwet>n the longing to make a lasting iniliiessiin> nnil the fear <»l shocking bis tender sensibilities. But he was waiting, and again she told the story, 8;)ar- ing no touch of dramatic elTect io the calling and the ringing of the bellâ€" and herself thrilling with tho memory of that sad night. When it was finished he leaned closer and closer. Looking steadily up into her face, he spoke at last in a husky half-whisper; "You don't know any stories 'bout bears, do you?" The elephant in his prime .sleeps only five hours a night, and the old- er he grows the les.s sleep he needs. Comfortable Living WITH A Chatham Incubator Poultry raising^ with a Chatham Incubator is a very profitable and easily managed occupation. Unless you want to go into it extensively it need take but very little of your time. Government reports show that the demand for chickens in Canada is greatly in excess of the supply and Great Britain is always clamoring for more. That means a steady market and good prices for chickens. You cannot raise chickens success- fully with a .setting hen. She is wa.st- iiig time setting when she should be laying. While she is hatching and brooding a few chickens she could be laying five or six dozen eggs. The percentage of chickens she h.itches is much less than that produced by the Chatham Incubator, It will pay you to own a Chatham Incubator. Chatham Incubators contain every improvement of importance in Incu- bator construction that has been pro- duced. They are made of thoroughly .reasoned wood, with two walls, case within case. Between these walls mineral wool is packed forming the very best insulation. Each piece of the case is mortised and grooved and screwed, making the whole as solid as a rock. Chatham Incubators are equipped with scientifically perfect regulators which are an infallible means of regulating the temperature. No cash to pay until October, 1905. We will start you raising poultry for profit with a Chatham Incubator without one cent of money from you until next Kail. That means that you can take otf seven or eight hatches and make considerable money out of the Incubator before the first payment becomes due. We couldn't make this offer if we were not certain that if you accept it you will get complete satisfaction, if wc were not positive that the Chatham Incubator will pay you a handsome yearly income. This is a straightforward offer. We make it to show our supreme confi- dence in the Chatham Incubator. We w.int you to accept this offer as we arc .sure of the satisfaction our Incu- bator will give. Everj' machine we have put out .so far has made other .sales in the same neightxirhood Dur offer it to tend nou a Chatham Incubator at onct, freight prtpaid by ut without ont etnt of cath from you. You make your first payment in October. 1906. The balance to be paid In October, 1908, or if a Cath Buyer you get it cheaper. Could any offer be fairer or more generout ? Smith Pahs, otr .
