It is sold in almost all the civilized coun­ tries of the globe. If the cod fish beeame extinct it would be a world-wide calam­ ity, because the oil that comes from its liver surpasses all other fats in nourishing and life-giving properties. Thirty years ago the proprietors of Scott's Emul­ sion found a way of preparing cod liver oil so that everyone can take it and get the full value of the oil without the objectionable taste. Scott's Emulsion is the liest thing in the world for weak, backward children, thin, delicate people, and all conditions of wasting and lost strength. 8»ad for trm jtamph. SCOTT A ^WNE, CHKMWT8 •AMI.

He was an abbot and named St Nicholas. He afterward became archbishop of Myra. At the latter place he died and was duly buried. In May, 1087, his remains were carried by some pious Italians to Bari, on the Adriatic coast. They are now at rest in a splendid church which bears his name. The people around about make a pilgrimage to his shrine every year. No one seeking food on that occasion is refused it by the priests, while ac­ commodation Is given to as many pil­ grims as the edifice will hold. On St. Nicholas' day, Dec. 6, a great celebra­ tion takes place in his honor. Early in the morning the populace take his im­ age from the priests and carry it through the town.

Scientifically humming birds are Mtro- chllldae," and those who make a spe­ cial study of them are "trochilidists," although the birds are not Identical with the old Greek "trochilus," or "run­ ner," bird, which, according to Herod­ otus, entered the jaws of the sleep­ ing crocodile and obliged its big friend by picking leeches from his throat. The Spanish name for the humming bird is "tominejo," meaning a third of a dram and referring, of course, to the bird's minuteness. But the prettiest names are those, such as the French "frou­ frou," which refer to the humming noise sometimes produced by the al­ most incredibly rapid vibration of the wings. "Purring with her wings" Is the expression of Thomas Morton (1332), the first English writer to men- ^ Jpjpming bird. „ , 4%,: /.;ji PcrfM^ Lenf. *4 Tile teffcher of a large class tff tffiia 6f the New York schools once said to the pupils who were leaving for the sum­ mer: "I want each of you to search for a perfect leaf and bring it to me when school reopens.
