If aome one makes a baioh f plos, or flings a soulful n. "the files are pretty fierce," we say, "the omg is on the bHnk;" it U e,ir cheerful ttttle way; It's graceful - I don't think. The housewife work about .t week to tWly up tlie Cat; then hub by comes and starts to Mhrlok: 'Where have you hild my hat?" The windows have boon nttcaly washed, the rugs are bright and dean; a found tbe kitchen wife ha downed with soap and gasoline. The hus tsund dortu't nwtke that, but glares upon bia frau; ho cannot tieul his darned old hat, and eo kicks up a row. "You ought to hare some sys tem, Jane," be says, "you should, by Jinga; -fat alwaya gives log a pain to hunt tor miming thine;- Wboa mother lived" so he dockiroa, and talks tor forty miles, and Jane sits on the cellar stairs and weeps to thirteen styles, why not Improve our carping ways, and cauae toss sighs and tears? Why not took round tor things to praise, nay once once in seven years? Walt Mason.

The railiug on Poor Blood is Responsible for much sickness and suffer ing because its tjuality deter mines our resistive power. with poor blood wc arc Ian guid, susceptible to colds, lack natural energy and ambition, and the gradual decline of strength makes prompt and careful treatment necessary. Drugs or alcohol cannot make blood and must Ix.' avoided. Scott's Emclsion is nature's grandest blood-maker because of its wholesome medical nourishment, so carefully prctligeMetl lliat itassimi latcs without taxing digestion and quickly increases the red corpuscles of the blood, strengthens the organs and tissues and upbuilds the whole system. Absolutely nothing compares with Scott's Emulsion to purify and en rich the blood to overcome or avoid anaemia.
