on Scott's Emulsion, because fat foods make fat children. They are thin, and remain thin just in proportion to their inability to assimilate food rich in fat.

Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is especially adaptable to those of weak digestion—it is partly digested already. Astonishing how quickly a thin person gains solid flesh by its use!

Almost as palatable as milk!

The following from an exchange illustrates a pig's intelligence.

We call pigs stupid creatures. This is not fair. They are really as intelligent as the majority of domestic animals, but the lives we allow them are too short and their opportunities too few for them to show their opportunities too few for them ot show their abilities to advantage. The pig of which I have more particularly to tell was by no means a handsome specimen, but what she wanted in beauty she made up in intelligence.

As a baby pig she belonged to a person named Toomer, and she was raised with a family of young pointer puppies. She took kindly to her playfellows, and when they became old enough to follow the keeper in his walks, she, too, would come trotting and grunting after. When Mr. Toomer began to train his young charges for their work of finding and pointing out the game there was danger that piggy might make mischief. But the keeper would not leave her shut up at home. He had, he said, broken many dogs as obstinate as pigs and could surely break a pig that was so much more tractable than the rest of her kind.

So he taught her to "back"—that is to stand perfectly still whenever a dog had found game and was pointing at it. To teach her this he used both rewards and punishments; when she did wrong he pelted her with tiny stones, for he could not catch her and chastise her as he did naughty puppies, and when she behaved herself well he had always barley meal pudding in his pocket for her. But this was not all. He discovered that piggy, like many other pigs, and a keen sense of smell. She learned to scent the game and point at it for herself but not quite like a dog. A pointer dog when he has found game stand s generally with one of his forepaws held up until his master comes to him. Piggy, as soon as she was sure that she had found a partridge or hare or a rabbit, would drop on her knees and so remain for five minutes if necessary.

Unfortunately, before her schoolmaster had time to teach her any further accomplishments he died. His widow sent piggy to a man with whom she lived for three years. But, alas! piggy did not escape the common doom of pigs. In the end she was hut in a sty fattened and made into bacon, as all her ancestors had been before her.—New York Advertiser

Much has been and will be written on the care of the teeth because so many persons do not appreciate these valuable organs of mastication. If teeth are well cared for and regularly inspected by the dentist, decay will hardly have an opportunity to great harm before it is stopped. Decay often has its beginning in bits of food sticking between the teeth and forming the starting point of a diseased tooth.

The toothpick should be used regularly after each meal and after eating. It need not necessarily be employed during a meal or be carried like a cigar in the mouth after eating, but in the privacy of one's room the quill toothpick should search out each corner and angle between the teeth, and all foreign matter should be removed; then the toothbrush should be used, and, as the spaces between the teeth are vertical in a standing person, so the toothbrush should be used, up and down rather than across, so that fresh water may be scrubbed between each tooth.

The toothbrushes that shed bristles are not desirable articles of the toilet, for not only are the loose bristles a great annoyance, but they may even work in between the teeth and in the gums and cause painful points. Such loose bristles usually come from cheap brushes or those used for too long a time.

These injunctions about the care of the teeth have to be repeated gain and gain, because it is such a matter of everyday observance that persons careful in other matters are careless about their teeth. As the teeth are not only very visible, and when in a bad state very prominent, but are aids to digestion, and if imperfect may lead to dyspepsia and kindred troubles, they should be scrupulously cared for.—Popular Health Magazine

Princeton, Ky., Nov. 1.—News has reached here of the lynching of Eddy Martin in Crittenedon county yesterday morning by a mob variously estimated at from 50 to 100 men. The scene of the lynching is a remote part of the county and the details of the crime are hard to get. The best obtainable information is that Martin was called upon at his home after midnight and asked to get up and help put out a fire that was raging in the neighborhood. Opening the door he was seized by a dozen or more men who asked for information of Bill Goode, the lawless pauper commissioner of Crittenedon county. He was also asked about the latter's crime, especially that of horse stealing. The mob told him that they had come to hang him, but if he would turn state's evidence upon Bill Goode he would be spared.

"If these are the only terms, gentlemen," said he, "let the hanging proceed. Bill Goode has been my friend, and I will shield him."

The mob quickly did its work and left the body swaying from a limb upon a lone country road. The hanging is the result of the Goode-Rich gang in Crittenedon county and their lawlessness committed here. Goode, the leader, has been visited three times s by a mob, but escaped each time. Berry Rich was hung about two weeks ago and the mob made a raid again last week but failed to find their man.
