BLOOD We live by our blood, and on It. We thrive or starve, as our blood Is rich or poor. There is nothing else to live on or by. When strength is full and spirits high we are being re-freshed-bone, muscle and brain, in body and mind—with continual flow of rich blood. This is health. When weak, in low spirits, no cheer, no spring, when rest is not rest ana sleep is not sleep, we are starved; our blood is poor; there is little nutriment in it. Back of the blood is food, to keep the blood rich. When it fails, take SCOTT’S EMULSION It sets the whole body going again—man, woman and child. S«a<! this advcrtbemmt. together with name of paper in which it appear*, your address and tar cent* to cover pocUge, and wc will tend yen a “Complete Handy Atlas of the World."

Golf Stories Outshine “Fish Talas."

Holing in one is so common that the feat is apt to pass without comment. To arouse our enthusiasm a golfer must kill something. A big fish was killed on the Sonth Herts course at Totterldge. but not with a golf ball. About a year ago at Newark, however, a golf ball, driven into the river, killed a trout of two pounds in weight. This Is not a fishing story, but a golf story, and I should be the last to throw suspicion on its truth. During a tournament at Hawick a gull and a weasel were killed. It only required a brace or two of grouse and some ground game to complete a sporting bag.—London M. A. Pi

Probably.

A Lover’s Complaint.

My sweetheart’s shtaln? golden locks I used to much admire When sitting side by side with her Before a blazing fire.

But now since fashion has decreed Each lady fair must pile Her head with' purchased puffs and curls And colls to be in style To drop a kiss upon her head, Alas, I do not dare, ' Vor I may be caressing then Another woman's hair! . „ _—Upplncott’s Magazine.
