Baby's Second Summer is the time that tries all the care of the mother and all the skill of maternal management. Baby comfort comes from fat; fat babies have nothing to do but to sleep andfgrow. If your reiby does not seem to prosper, if he does not gain in weight, you must get more fat there. A few drops of each day will put on plump­ ness; fat outside, life inside, baby and mother both happy. Your baby can take and rel­ ish Scott's Emulsion'as much in summer as in any other season.

Bat Their Services Were Not Appreciated by the Star. They were barnstormers and were playing "Richard Til." The advance agent, manager, general director, stage manager, scenic artist and prompter took the part in the king,and was depend­ ent for his "supes" on such Devonshire yokels as he could engage in the vil­ lage they stormed. On this occasion he secured two, and instructed them about as follows (he loved art and high art, too, for art's sake, of course): "Now, understand, you two come in at tie end of my long speech in the third act and say: 'My lord, we've cap­ tured the jukes of Rochester and Buck­ ingham!' But mind you don't show your bloomin' faces before then, and don't open your mouths except to pay that--you understand?" The varlets vowed they did. Daring the second act our friend., now Richard 'III., had oc­ casion to make a somewhat lengthy harangue. He did it to his best,.and was lost in the sound of his own elo­ quence and splendor of his dramatic ef­ fect, when he was aware of a princely pair, or rather the two yokels, shuffling across the stage (?) toward him, pulling at their forelocks and signifying re­ spect as they came--they were dressed as best they could clothe them. He sig­ naled them furiously to go back; in vain--they took no heed. A painful pause, then: "My lord," they muttered together, "we've captured the juices of Bucking­ ham and Rochester." "Oh, you 'ave, 'ave you?" was the crushing reply. "Then you've gone and spoilt the 'ole bloomin' play."--Chi cago Post.

Hundreds of thousands have been in­ duced to try Chamberlain's Cough Rem­ edy, by reading what it has done for others, and having tested its merits for themselves are to-day its warmest friends. For Bale by Julia A. Story, uruggist. The Battons of the Bay. Many of the new bu/ttons are square in form, with a center stone and the square of other stones, the four corners being sapphires or rubies and the oth ers brilliants. Again, the center may be mosaic, with a painting of some tiny flower, such as a rose, a heart's-ease, R violet, or a forget-me-not. Such cen tor paintings also appear in the large- sized round buttons. The flowers, al though small, are charmingly realistic Large metal buttons, frequently quite gigantic, sport jeweled centers, and those of celluloid have gold centers. The colorings of the celluloid are especially good and in great variety. A Warning from Webster. He who tampers with the currency *obs labor of its bread. He panders in. deed to greedy capital, which is keen sighted and may shift for itself, but he beggars labor, which is honest, unsus pecting and too busy with the present to calculate for the future. The pros perity of the working classes lives moves and has its being in established credit and a steady medium of payment All sudden changes destroy it. Honest, industry never comes in for any part of the spoils in that scramble which takes place when the currency of a country is disordered. Did wild schemes and projects ever benefit the industrious? Did violent fluctuations ever do good to him who depends on his daily labor for his daily bread? Certainly never. All these things may gratify greediness for sudden gain or the rashness of daring speculation, but they can bring nothing but injury and distress to the homes of patient industry and honest labor. Daniel Webster, Speech at New York, 1837. .... As long as gold, either from its in trinsic superiority as a metal, from its rarity or from the prejudices of man kind, retains so considerable a pre­ eminence in value over silver as it has hitherto had, a natural consequence of this seems to be that its condition will be more stationary. The revolutions, therefore, which may take place in the comparative value of gold and silver will be changes in the state of the lat ter rather than in that of tlie former.-- Alexander Hamilton. ... .If the fact that some farmers are poor is used to justify the confiscation of the property of creditors, would not the poverty of the Coxey armies of tramps and unemployed workers justify them in demanding a share of the prop­ erty owned by the farmers? Like the Arm, th» One That Is Most Used Is Strongest You are either left-eyed or right-eyed, unless you are the on3 person out of every 15 who has eyes of equal strength. You also belong to the small minority of one out of every ten persons if-your left eye is stronger than your right. As a rule, just as people are right-hand­ ed, they are right-eyed. This is probably due to the generally greater use of the organs of the right side of the body, as, for example, a sportsman, using his right arm and shoulder, uses his right eye to sight his gun, thereby strengthening it with ex­ ercise. Old sea captains, after long use of the telescope, find their right eye much stronger than the left. The law is con­ firmed by the experience of aurists. If-a person who has ears of equal hear­ ing has cause to use one ear more than the other for a long period, the ear brought into requisition is found to be much strengthened, and the ear which is not used loses its hearing in a cor­ responding degree. Transparent Umbrellas. Umbrella making is among the most interesting of industries. Something1 like 1,000 patents have been taken out during the last 20 years. The most re­ cent inventor, who, if successful, will eclipse all rivals, is a maker who claims to have contrived a transparent um­ brella,which,wlule being equally water­ proof with silks and alpacas, will have the great advantage of allowing the •vayfarer in a rainstorm to avoid colli­ sion with lamp posts and other obsta­ cles alone the way.

There stiU remains to be considered what mpst be regarded as the main problem in dealing with aU famines, and that is the conveyance of the neces­ sary amount of supplies to the districts where they are required. Hitherto it has been the impossibility of bringing food within reach of the starving mul­ titudes that has caused so much destruc­ tion to human life during previous fam­ ines, for it is evident that animal trans­ port can only convey the necessary pro­ visions a very short distance from the centers of supply, inasmuch as the beasts of burden, after a certain amount Of travel, will themselves have con­ sumed their entire load. -The great stand by under such circumstances is railway communication, for without it the mdst strenuous efforts of human en­ ergy and human ingenuity will prove of no avail when, as is now the case? the desolated area comprises a belt ex­ tending 1,000 miles in one direction and 500 in the other. Thanks, to the prescience of the Indian government and to the sagacious recommendations of General Strachey's commission, dur-' ing the last 20 years a number of what are called "famine railways" have been completed. These railways are known in India as "famiue railways" because they have purposely been laid down not where there was a prospect of opening the country to remunerative traffic or where a paying dividend could be ex­ pected, but through those districts where previous experience and meteor­ ological observations have indicated that the rainfall is most frequently scanty and capricious. Already 5,000 miles of these special lines are in full working order, and more are in course of construction. As a consequence there are now no considerable districts in In­ dia liable to the visitations of famine where communications by rail have not been fairly provided.--Marquis of Duf- ferin and Ava in North 'American He- view. Queer Color Names. People wear vesuvius red now, and elephant's breath, london smoke, tabae, crushed raspberry and strawberry and robin's egg blue and other shades, but fashionable folks of old wore colors with names more odd sounding stilL Innocent infant was once a favorite col­ or, and captain's glory, also a sad drab color known as penitent hermit. A gown of caterpillar brown might be adorned with trimmings of canary tail. A strong gray, blended with purple, was dubbed lively flea, and, whereas there is now break of day pinks, milli­ ners of a century ago trimmed poke bonnets with ruchings of thought of the beloved one and quillings of doe's belly. A court beauty in the time Henry IV of France affected a color known as mortal sin, and it came to be the rage forthwith, and common harm was an­ other popular fancy for stomachers and petticoats. One subtle, barely hinted at shade was christened stifled sigh. Dead alive was another anomalous color greatly in favor in Marie Antoinette's time, most of these out of the way and rather un­ decided shades being chosen by women whose dainty coloring needed only an unobtrusive background to bring it into relief.--New York Sun. Ants as Guests of Plants. The ants which are really protective to plants are not those which obtain their food (indirectly for the'most part through the aphides) from the vegeta­ ble kingdom, but those which are real­ ly carnivorous. The- are numerous in temperate climate.s vud their useful­ ness to agriculture a ud sylviculture is incontestable. Thus the field ant is a great insect destroyer. A nest of tfiis species is capable of destroying as many as 28 caterpillars and grasshoppers a minute, or 1,000 an hour, and such a colony is at work day and night during the pleasant seasoik In the arid plains of America the beneficent work of ants is revealed in the isles of verdure around their hills. ^ There are plants hospitable to ants^ which furnish them shelter and often food, within the cavities of which the instincts of the auts prompt them to take their abode. This is the case with several ferns, among them the Polypo- dium nectariferum, the sterile fronds of which bear nectaries on their lower face and are, moreover, of a shape favorable to sheltering the insect.--Professor M. Heim in Popular Science Monthly. Free Medical Advice. A good story has been told by a family doctor regarding a little ruse adopted by one of his patients who wished to save the expense of consult* ing him. The patient was a woman of good means, but of frugal disposition. One day she began to fcel some alarm re­ garding her health, arid, wishing to avoid a costly procedure, made an ap­ plication to a life insurance company for a policy of large amount--so large,' indeed, that they delegated three med­ ical men to make an exhaustive exami­ nation of her before they could accept hear as a risk. rSSh In due time she was informed that her life had been accepted. She was thus in a position to assume that she was quite well, whereupon she replied to the company that she had changed her mind, and did not intend to take but a policy just then.--Pearson's Weekly.
