If this action be comes irregular the whole body suffers. Poor i health follows poor blood ; Scott's Emulsion makes the blood pure. One reason why SCOTT'S EMULSION is such a great aid is because it passes so quickly into the blood. It is partly di gested before it enters the. stomach ; a double advan tage in this. Less work for the stomach; quicker and more direct benefits. To get the greatest amount of good with the least pos sible effort is the desire of everyone in poor health.

'.. ; First among the trail signs that are used by Indians and white hunters and most likely to be of use to the traveler, says a writer in Country Life In America, are ax blazes on tree trunks. These may vary greatly with locality, but there is one everywhere in use with scarcely any . variation. This Is simply the white spot nicked off by knife or ax and meaning, "Here la the trail." The Ojibways and other woodland tribes use twigs for a great many signs. The hanging broken twig, like the simple blaze, means, This Is the trail." The twig clean broken off ana laid on the ground across the line ef march means, "Break from your straight course and go in the line of the butt end," and when an especial warn ing Is meant the butt is pointed toward the one following the trail and raised somewhat in a forked twig. If the butt of the twig were raised and pointing to the left it would mean, "Look out, camp," or "Ourselves or the enemy or the game we have killed la out that way." The old buffalo hunters had an estab lished signal that is yet used by moun tain guides. It is as follows: Two shots in rapid succession, an in terval of five seconds by the -watch, then one shot, means, "Where are you?") The answer, given at once and exactly1 the same, means: "Here I am. What do you want?" The reply to this may be one shot, which means, "All right; 1 only wanted to know where you were." But if the reply repeats the first It means: "I am in serious trouble. Corns as fast as you can." ' PROUD OF HIS WORK. Jofca McCnllouKn BIsute 3b.ai.rs Be fore He Beeasoe mm Aeter. Of the thousands who admired the acting of John McCnllough feva. wer aware that at sixteen he could read, but could not write, and that at eight een he knew absolutely nothing of lit erature, perhaps not even the name of the great poet of Avon, whose in terpreter he afterward became. In after life McCullough used to speak gratefully of an old chairmaker, under whom he worked, for teaching him two things "chairmaking and Shakespeare." In his periods of con viviality the old chairmaker was ac customed to spout Shakespeare to young McCullough, giving a somewhat Imperfect Imitation of Forrest's acting. It was this that turned McCullough's thought from chairmaking to the stage. Yet in all his after years McCullough waa proudest of his early craft. On one occasion, at the height of his popu larity, he was the guest of a wealthy Phifadelphlan. In the midst of the talk after dinner the tragedian glanced at a chair in the room, went over to it and, turning it bottom up, said to hia amazed host: "I thought sol That's one of my chairs r ' And he seemed prouder of the fact that the chair had lasted so long, be cause it was so well made, than he was of his histrionic success. Saturday Evening Post. Castoms Red Tape. Several tins of paint were found among the luggage of an Englishman who was traveling to Monaco. He was in charge of a racing craft and intended to use the pigment to touch up the vessel after its long railway journey. The French customs officials, however, took exception to the paint on the ground that it contained dutiable spirit, whereupon the traveler argued that he intended bringing it back on leaving the country. Asked how he was going to bring it back, he replied, "On the sides of the boat." Even this plea did not suffice, the authorities ar guing that the spirit would have evap orated. The Gresit Aissm Karthqnake. After the great Assam earthquake which occurred on June 12, 1897, the earth tremor went on continuously for several days. It was . estimated that there were 200 shocks a day for a few days after June 12, and, though these had diminished to twenty or thirty a day by the middle of July, the people were accustomed for at least two years after the earthquake to a daily shock. These after shocks were the residual effects of the first big disturbance and had nothing dangerous in their charac ter. ; Left the World. The beautiful Mme.
