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 and grow. If your baby does not seem to prosper, if he does not gain in weight, you must get more fat there. A few drops of SUKinuKii each day will put on plumpness; fat outside, life inside, baby and mother both happy. Your baby can take and relish Scott’s Emulsion as much in summer as in any other season.

It’s sc strange that such simple things are overlooked by those who want health. Food makes health. It makes strength—and strength wards off sickness. The man who had never been sick was strong because he always digested his food, and you could become the same by helping your stomach to work as well as his.

CHARLES DAXTTiEAD NEW YORK SUN’S GREAT EDITOR PASSES AWAY. Associate Justice Field Resigns From the Supreme Court Bench I‘resi tent MeKinley Appoints a Reciprocity Commissioner to Look After Tariff Act. New York, Oct. 18.—Charles A. Dana, editor of the New York Sun, died at his home in Glencove, L. 1., at 1:20 yesterday afternoon. Mr. Dana’s death had been expected for several hours, and his family and physicians were at his bedside when the end came. His condition has been such for several months that the members of his family had kept themselves in constant readiness to go to his bedside at any r moment.

CHARLES A. DANA. had a relapse, and it was apparent that recovery was impossible. Several times, however, he rallied, but toward night began to sink. During the night there were feeble ralies, but they did not last long. Yesterday morning it was seen that the end was but a few hours off and his attendants remained almost constantly -0 his bedside. The end came quietly. On Saturday Mr. Dana was able to take only the lightest nourishment, and this condition continued. Paul Dana and his sisters, Mrs. Draper, Mrs. Underhill and Mrs. Branau, were at his home on Saturday morning and were warned to remain there. They were at the bedside when death came, The cause of Mr. Dana'* death was cirrhosis of the liver. On June 9 he was at his office apparently strong anil healthy. The next day lie Was taken ill and he never afterward visited NewYork. He was 78 years old. FIELD'S lIKTI Rte WENT. Pre.iJeut McKinley Accepts the Aged Justice'S liesignation. WasHiw'YOn, Oct. 15.—As announced in the American Press association dispatches of Wednesday, Associate Justice Field will retire from the U nited States supreme court bench on Dec. 1. Yesterday the announcement was made to the supreme court iu a letter from Mr. Field, and after adjournment the court called in a body on their associate to pay their respects. The aged justice notified President McKinley as early as last April of his desire to be relieved from duty under the act allowing him to retire at the age of 70, but it was only on the 19th inst that President McKinley accepted his resignation. The president, apparently, has not decided upon the appointments that Justice Field’s retirement will occasion, save that Attorney General McKenna will be nominated for the supreme bench, unless some cause intervenes between now and December to prevent it. Mr. McKinley has made some inquiries of political callers which have led them to believe that his mind is pretty well made up on Mr. McKenna as the next justice of the supreme court, but to none of them, so far as can be learned, did he mention the matter of a new attorney general. reciprocity commission.

John A. Kasson Given Tlennty Power j Regarding the Tariff" Act. Washington, Oct. president has decided to appoint a special commissioner, with {denary powers to carry I into effect the reciprocity provisions of sections 3 and 4 of the tariff act approved July 24, 1897. It was found upon making an investigation of the matter that the regular force of the depart- j ment of state is at present so overcrowded with pressing business that j serious delay in carrying out the ex- j pressed wish of congress would inevitably follow if the department officers I were required to perform the special work essential to carry out the will of congress. In view of these facts the president has designated Hou. John A. Kasson of lowa as such special commissioner, with Chapman Coleman of Kentucky as sec- - retary, and John Ball Osborne of Scranton, Pa., as assistant secretary. The commissioner is charged particularly to look after the agricultural interests, both north and south, not forgetting the large and constantly increasing , manufacturing interests east of the Alleghenies. Mr. Kasson has represented this country at the courts of Austria and Germany. ADMIRAL WORDEN. Deal a of the Famous Commander of the Monitor. Washington, Oct. 19.—Admiral John L. Worden, retired, died in this city yesterday. He commanded the Monitor during its engagement with the Merrimac in Hampton Roads during the late war. In 1886 he was retired, with the full rank and pay of an admiral, the only instance of the kind. Pneumonia was the immediate cause of Admiral Worden’s death. He was 80 years of age, and up to last Saturday was in very good health. E. B. Reynold’s for Indian Agent. W ashington, Oct. 15.—The secretary of the Interior has appointed E. B.

THE HOUSEHOLD. An Excellent Idea For Bookshelves. Some Favorite Embroideries—A Useful Kitchen Table. It is always a difficult matter to know what to do with our books, especially when we are not lucky enough to possess a room which can be turned into a library and dedicated to their special use. Bookshelves are easily made, as the amateur carpenter knows only too well, but different ideas for their manufacture are rare, and there is apt to be a dreary sameness in the rows of shelves he turns out with so much patience and care. An excellent idea for bookshelves in a room which boasts of several doors, one of which may be closed without inconvenience, is suggested in The Decorator and Furnisher by a contributor who thus disposed of a door which was never by any cbauce opened and through which a cheerful draft whistled and blew. To obviate this and to hide the woodwork, which was by no means a thing of beauty, shelves were fixed at equal distances apart to the framework of the door, the breadth of the shelves fitting into the depth between the wall and the door Os course this plan could not be carried out on the side of the door which comes fiat against the wall. That side, in case of necessity, can always be hidden by a curtain. The edge of each shelf was finished off and made to look quite smart by a piece of dark green leather about four inches deep cutout at the edge in a pattern and fastened to the shelf with ornamental brass nails. The bottom shelf • was fixed about six or seven inches ■ above the wi'inscot, and from this a curtain, run cj a brass rod, was hung, ' forming a convenient spot iu which to - stow away guidebooks and time tables and those magazines and newspapers which must fiud a place somewhere waiting to be bound. The height of an ordinary door is seven feet, so that the ; shelves could be sevait in number, with a distance of nine inches between each shelf, the spice between the bottom shelf and the floor being 21 inches, winch would leave plenty of room for odds and ends and shabby volumes.

Favorite Embroideries. The new cross stitbfii Well shaded anil rich In design, figures prominently in the holiday work of those who like to take their embroidery out of doors in summer weather, as it neither soils nor fades readily. Perhaps this is the outcome of the rage for everything pertaining to the early part of the Victorian era that has been the fashion of late, but in any case it is extremely effective and will prove welcome to many workers. It is questionable whether our present state of artistic culture will incline our admiration in the direction of moss rosebuds carried out in cross stitch, but it is quite certain that the conventional designs, with their black outlines, will prove acceptable These black outlines on teacloths, sideboard slips and many another knickknack f<r the house need only to be filled in with soft shades of brown, red, gold and blue, which are the favorite colors for this work. The effect from a little distance is splendid and will be all the more appreciated when it is found how little labor is needed to produce it. A Useful Kitchen Table. A small table supplied with strong Casters is of great convenience in a kitchen. It can be roiled everywhere, and it saves many steps When a person is frying crullers or cooking gridaie cakes, the table can be put near the range, holding all the articles required. During the preserving season alich A table will be invaluable.

Quick Icing For Cake. Three minutes is said to suffice for making this icing, and it will dry on the cake in about 10 or 15. Allow one , cupful of sugar to one egg. which will j frost an ordinary sized cake. Beat the white slightly till it begins to froth, then stir in the sugar and spread the icing on the cake while warm or cold, as is most convenient. Worth Knowing. A novelty in curtains are lace ones, decorated with ribbon work. For cracked ice come cut and frosted glass bowls with silver rims. China sugar baskets, decorated in floral designs, are finished with silver bands and handles.

Dainty table accessories are sugar bowls and cream jugs in decorated china, set in silver standards. To weigh the baby come scales surmounted by a willow basket. The basket can be detached and the scale used for other purposes. Canned fruit, as soon as it is cool, should be put in a cool, dry, dark place. Light has a tendency to make the fruit spoil and at any rate impairs its color. The newest bath seat is suspended in the tub from nickle plated hangers, resting on the edge of the tub and having adjustable attachments by means of which the seat can be fixed at any height to suit the convenience of the user. Australian Geld Discoverer. The first man who dcovered gold in Australia was hanged 4>r his pains. He was one of the first aenvicts transported to Botany Bay, and when be learned the great secret he brought a sample to show his success and was promptly han: ,ed by Governor Phillips for attempt- -j escape and to keep the demoralizing discovery unknown.

A Fearful Experience A POSTMASTER LOSES THE USE OF HIS LEGS AND AHUS. Edwin R. Tripp, of Middlefield Center, Meets with a Hazardous Encounter Which Renders Him Helpless. From Otsego Republican, Cooperstown, N. Y.

Mr. Edwin B. Tripp, the postmaster at Middlefield Center, N. Y-. recently had u dangerous experience which left hull in a helpless stale. His system was so much shattered that it was feared he might ne\er recover. . , „ In an interview with a reporter or (he ; Republican, regarding this exp.-ri.iiee which had attracted considerable- attention, Mr, Tripp stated: “In March, 1892, I was taken with what I afterward learned was locomotor ataxia, and . was unable to walk, and I kept getting worse until 1 lost the use of my arms. I doctored with two skillful doctors but received no benefit, and also used 11 galvanic batterv but kept gettiwr worse and the doctors told me they could do no more. This was in May and June, 1892. I gave up all hope of ever having the use of my limbs again, and did not expect to live very long. | I was unable to dress or undress mysejf, and could not get around the house unless 1 was moved in a chair. “ I think it was in June that I read of the case of a man in Saratoga Co., N. Y., who 1 was taken very much as myself. He had taken Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People which contained, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves, and had been cured by their use. { “ I learned that th* pills were prepared by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Sche-; nectadv, N. Y., and only cost 50 cents a box I

Some Plain Facts. Grave errors, injustice, wrongs of greater or less degree, arise from lack of knowledge of the truth, and more frequently from deception. The most infamous case on record of deception and injustice is the attempt to demonetize silver as a money of final redemption in the United States. There is no learned judge, skilled lawyer, or court of justice that is capable of reconciling the effort with the constitutional laws that govern the issue of money in this country. The people have been deceived, officials in power, chosen to administer justice under the laws, have ignored their sworn duty, and given aid to the scheme that has paralyzed | industry, reduced property values one-half, and beggared millions. There is no authority of law’, either specific or by inference, by which gold alone is made the only money with which to discharge debts, either public or private. The effort to make it so is unconstitutional and a national calamity. Plain and ample information, facts, and truth, concerning this almost successful scheme to corner the wealth of the people, is now being printed in the Cincinnati Enquirer, a newspaper which the combined power of money has failed to muzzle or buy. The Weekly Enquirer is only 75c. a year. The address is j Enquirer Company, Cincinnati, O. | — Educate Your Bowels W ith Cawcaretw. Cathartic, cure constipation forever. 10c, 25c. If C. C.
