1 here is more than one food which will cause the body

to increase in weight. A free supply of sugar will do this ; so will the starchy foods; cream, and some other fats. Hut to become fleshy, and yet remain in poor health, is not what you want. Cod-liver oil increases the weight because it is a fat-producing food. But it does far more than this. It alters, or changes, the processes of nutrition, restoring the

normal 1 unctions of the various organs and tissues. ocStCb Smulsicru

of Cod-liver Oil with hypophosphites, is pure cod liver in a digested condition. So that when a person gains in weight from taking Scott’s Emulsion, it is because of two things: hirst, the oil has acted as a fat-produeing food; and, second, it has restored to the body a healthy condition. Such an

improvement is permanert • it covics to stay.

SCOTT & EOWXE, Chemist*, New York. A Red Man’s Cold-IJlooded Villainy Meet*

with Speedy Punishment.

A sergeant in the Secoml cavalry recalls an incident in his life in the Milk river country, Montana. He was then a private, and was carrying the mail between the camp and Fort Assiniboine. One day Ire met an Indian, and, ridinfr alon#- together, the soldier proffered him a pipe, which the red mnu smoked peacefully. After traveling thus all the morning, they came to a errt-k, and the Indian reined up, saying that he was going down the stream, whereas the mail route led upward. So they separated, and, when the soldier had gone about 50 yards, he turned in his saddle to wave another farewell. To his horror, he saw the Indian In the act of drawing a bead on him. Quick ns a flash lie tumbled'off his horse, unslung his carbine, and returned the fire of the treacherous savage. The Indian then fled, with the soldier in pursuit, when suddenly the Indian and his horse disappeared from sight. The soldier followed up carefuly, until he stood on the brink of a precipice, 200 feet in depth. At the bottom lay the Indkrti and his pony, l>oth dead. The faithless Indian, in his hurried attack forgot about this cliff, and in his flight

went to destruction. Not the Right Prescription.

Dr. Liddell’s m jrninff levees were crowded beyond description. It was his pride and bond that he could feel his patient's pulse, look at ins tongue, sound him with a stethoscope, write nis prescription and pocket his fee in a space of time varying from two to five minutes. One day an army man was shown into the consulting-room and underwent what might be termed the instantaneous process. When it was completed the patient thook hands with the doctor and said: “1 am especially glad t/i meet you, as I have often heard my father. Col. Forester, speak of his old friend. Dr. Liddell.” “What!" exclaimed the doctor. “Are you Dick Foresters son?” "I am, sir.” “My dear feliow," exclaimed the doctor, “fling that prescription in the lire, please, and sit down and tell me what is

the matter wifh you!”

"There is a surprising amount of British capital sunk in this country every year in attempts to put foreign commodities on the market,” said u man who makes a business of floating new schemes, recently. "I am what is known as a promoter, and I've luid unusual opportunities for lieedruing familiar with the inner workings of these

enterprises.

"There are just enough British staples with a large sale in this country to induce other manufacturers to try to place their goods on the market. Many of these commodities arc of such excellent quality that they would succeed anywhere on their merits alone if properly pushed, but the wealthy manufacturers on the other side seldom go the right way about placing their goods. “Because an article sells well in England is no reason why it would succeed in this country, nor will the methods that brought it into notice there iliake it known among us. The characteristics of the people of the two countries are entirely different, and to the failure to recognize this important fact may be attributed the ill success of nine out of ten of these enterprises. “The first mistake is generally in the kind of man sent out there to lioom things. He l>ears the high-flown title of commissioner, and is known to the firm as a faithful servant in whom they have the utmost confidence. This means that he is a plodding old fellow,

GAME BIRDS GOING.

Western lovers of that beautiful sport, hunting wild game birds, must Iw well satisfied with the vigilance of the Illinois game warden, Mr. Blow, aided by those gentlemen who hold similar positions in adjacent states. Energetic as their efforts are, however, it is to be feared they come too late to save the prairie chickens (pinnated grouse.) No measures, it is certain, can ever make them as plentiful on our prairies as they were a quarter of a century ago. Even if their slaughter were forbidden for a term of years, the utmost vigilance on the part of Mr. Blow and his assistants could not prevent the annual destruction of large numbers. Quail are becoming equally scarce, and unless the different hunting clubs take some Reps to replenish the stock, game of the grouse family will soon become

extremely rare.

England has always been a great game preserving country, but even there, where the game laws are very stringent, it has been found necessary to import large numbers of birds from

foreign countries.

The dark-necked pheasant (phasiamis colebicus) has long reigned as the king of English gamebirds. This pheasant was tirst brought from Asia, but has been indigenous in England for centuries. They are polygamus in their habits, and as the brilliant plumage of the male bird is in contrast to the • i.T-nx, „ 0 f tin: hen, good sports-

Here*’* Economy. There is a man living near Maben, Miss., who prides himself on his economy, and the other day, when discussing his favorite topic, he remarked that he had saved several dollars in matches. “Why,” he said, “when I came to Mississippi, nearly 40 years ago, 1 brought my Are with me, ajul I have kept the same fire ever since, never allowing it to die out, and during all this time have never spent one cent foj matches.” The Golden Opportunity.

“Large sums of money set. aside for the purjiose in hand are expended in frequent trips across the Atlantic and cabling over petty details that a Hv • American would never bother his head about. As much caution is exercised in renting a temporary oflice. or hiring a ixirter as if a fortune was at stake. Not more than one method of advertising is tried at onee. A great deal of time and money are thus expended without producing any result, and in a year or so the commissioner is recalled atid the soheme abandoned. “The success of American promoters abroad in floating schemes more or less visionary should teach our British cousins that the Yankee boomer is unapproachable in his special line of business. More than onee he has taken hold of one of these abandoned enterprises and turned failure into success. The points in which lie differs from the British commissioner are the ones that are absolutely essential in this business. He is familiar with the country and the characteristics of the people he is npi>ealing to; he has that audacity which is such a great means of ultimate • access in promoting, and he possesses the wonderful knack, which distinguishes him from every other nationality, of being able to catch on. “A pecular feature of the promoting business is that a boomer will start in t 1m* west and work his way east. Long experience lias proved to him that the western people like novelty and arealways ready to give a new thing a trial.

BLACK DIAMONDS.

Most of Them rrmtuee.l In ltrii/11 ami Seut to A fries. Alt hough the greatestdiamond mines in the world tire in South Africa, Brazil exports more diamonds to that part than anywhere else on earth. The explanation is easy. They are black diamonds, and are not of the kind used in jewelry. The place of their greatest utility Ts underground in mines. South Africa does not produce them, but it could not well get along without them. Black diamond is the hardest substance known. Its utility has only lieen realized for about 20 years, and improvements are constantly being made in it. The rough stones are taken and splitby inuchinery in a way that was unknown until recently. The split mir t follow the grain. If it does net naif of the stone will be wasted. Each stone is split into cubes of different sizes. The cubes are then welded into mining drills ii they are to be used for boring. The steel is cast about the diamond so that it cannot get loose. In the same way nearly all the diamond saws are made. They are circular saws. Every tooth is a black diamond cube. It is fastened on when the steel portion is in a molten state. The attempt to make these stones artificially lias proved a failure in every instance. The cost is greater than the market price of the Brazil last diamond. Black diamonds weigh ordinarily less than 100 karats, ranging all the way down to half a karat. The largest in existence was found only a short time ago, its weight being 320 karats. The diamond was sold to a museum for £8,000. —Cincinnati Enquirer.

They invariably let the females pass unscathed, so that the supply is fairly well maintained. It is impossible, however, when a covey of partridges gets up, to distinguish the different sexes, so that botli male and female have to fall alike to the unerring aim of the English country gentleman. Consequently they would become very scarce could not eggs and birds be obtained from abroad. The tirst, imported were the French, or redlegged variety (caccabis urfa), but they proved very unsatisfactory, as when disturbed they prepared to run rather than fly. In addition, they did not interbreed with the native variety, but being larger and more pugnacious threatened to exterminate them. A few years ago it was discovered that the Hungarian partridges not only very nearly resembled the English species, but would interbreed, and dwell in harmony with it. This discovery has led to the importation of myriads of these birds; indeed, the business has grown to such proportions that over a dozen linns are engaged in it, ami last season over 100,000 brace were shipped from I'uinie on the Adriatic, the only port for the large extent of country over w hich these birds tire trapped. Most of them are taken on the broad plains and low foothills of the Carpathians, and in the valleys of the Bohemian Alps. In the dense woods that clothe the lower spurs of the latter, pheasants tire also very plentiful and large numbers are trapjied and imported. Ui England live Hungarian partridges bring about $1 to $1.25 a brace (male and female), pheasants $2.25 to$2.50; partridges’eggs, $8 to$10 a hundred, and pheasants’ about $7, a pretty high price considering that only about 80 per cent, of these eggs are fertile. They are usually hatched by bantams. or common barnyard fowls. Both partridges and pheasants are prolific egg producers, their nests containing from 13 to 17 eggs, olive-brown in color, much rounded atone end, but pointed at the other. Their nests, however. are always on the ground, and the owners make but slight attempts to conceal them, so that the contents fail an easy prey to their many enemies. The English variety lay measurably well in confinement, but their eggs are frequently infertile. This, however, is not the case with the Hungarian birds, who, if not too closely confined, Jay large numbers of eggs, a surprising percentage of which will hatch out. The young birds are much hardier and easier to raise than those of the English

variety.

Their hardiness would enable them to withstand the rigors of this climate. So if some of our gun clubs, who have large territories at their command, were to obtain a consignment, their preserves would soon be stocked with this very desirable game bird. They never fly high, so that the exi>ense of inclosing a few acres of land suitable for them to breed on would be trifling. Another bird which has attracted the attention of game preservers in Ireland and Scotland, who coutrol large areas of waste land, is the guinea fowl (gallina numidica). They are occasionally met with in this country in a domesticated state, but those who have shot them in the African jungles will readily acknowledge that few game birds surpass them, either in the excellence of the sport they furnish or their edible qualities. This bird has lieen strangely neglected by epicures in t his country, though he is really better eating than any oi lier of the domesticated fowls. In consequence hunting clubs could obtain large numbers at a nominal price. If these were turned out on some wide expanse they j would become as wild as hawks m the | second generation, and would increase very rapidly, as they surpass all other game birds in the number of eggs they lay, and the cunning with which they conceal their nests. — Chicago Inter
