W Soil
Impoverished soil like impov
erished blood
needs a proper
fertilizer A chemist by analyz
ing the soil can tell you what
fertilizer to use for different
products
If your blood is impoverished
your doctor will tell you what
you need to fertilize it and give
it the rich red corpuscles that
are lacking in it It may be you
need a tonic but more likely you
need a concentrated fat food
and fat is the element lacking
in your system
There is no fat food that is
so easily digested and assimi
lated as
Scotts Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil
It will nourish and strengthen
the body when milk and cream
fail to do it Scotts Emulsion
is always the same always
palatable and always beneficial
where the bodv is wasting from
any cause either in children
or adults

FERQCIOUS FRIENDSHIP
An Incident In the Life of the Tra
gedian Mncrcaily
Between Macready and my brother
Charles existed a kind of ferocious
friendship Macready whatever bo
may have been In private life bad at
the theater a simply horrible temper
and he was In the habit of using at
rehearsals and even In an undertone
when acting the most abusive lan
guagelanguage which my brother
sometimes passed by with a smile but
which he occasionally hotly resented
lie did not mind Macready constantly
addressing him as beast but he ob
jected to having his eyes his limbs
and his internal organs coupled with
Invective terms Yet oddly enough
the great tragedian with whom he
was constantly quarreling had a grim
respect and liking for him He knew
him to be a gentleman and a scholar
and one who was a competent judge
of picturesque effect and an acute dra
matic critic On one occasion Ma
cready having to play Othello and
my brother not being included in the
cast the tragedian thus addressed him
Beast I want you to go in front to
night and give me afterward a full and
candid opinion as to the merits of my
acting Omit nothing Tell me how I
played and how I looked I have an
Idea that I shall surpass myself this
evening Now the great actor used
to go through a tremendous amount of
realistic effort In the part of Othello
and toward the close of the tragedy
would get into such a disorganized
physical condition that he was all per
spiration and foaming at the mouth
and presented a somewhat shocking
spectacle
My brother duly occupied a seat In
the front row of the dress circle and
narrowly watched the performance
from beginning to end Then he went
behind the scenes and repaired to
Macreadys dressing room The artist
was being disrobed by his dresser and
was panting with excitement in an
armchair
Well beast what was It like
My brother told him that he had de
rived the highest gratification from
the performance and he had never seen
him play Othello more superbly He
was magnificent in bis speech to the
Venetian senate the jealousy scenes
with Iago were splendid the murder
of Desdemona was superb and he died
j inimitably Macreadys face lighted up
more and more as my brother answer
ed his many queries
Tis well beast he observed at
last Tis well very well and now
what was my appearance how did I
look beast
My brother cogitated for a moment
and then with perfect candor replied
Like a sweep sir G A Salas
Recollections
Unloaded on the Editor
Soon after arriving in London Justin
McCarthy obtained an introduction to
an editor who had started what was
then the novel feature of publishing
short stories in newspapers Mr Mc
Carthy wrote a story for him and sent
it in A few days later he called at the
office to learn its fate
I hope you can see your way to ac
cept it he said timidly
Yes and sixty more like it replied
the editor
Nothing more was heard of Mr Mc
Carthy for several months When he
eventually put in an appearance at the
office he had a large parcel with him
What have you got there asked
the editor seeing him untie the cord
These are the sixty stories you
asked me to write answered his vis
itor The editor gasped for breath
But I didnt ask you to write any
thing like that number he said
You expressed your willingness to
accept sixty stories like the one I wrote
on approval and here they are I
merely took you at your word quoth
the young Irishman The stories were
not refused
The Salamander
In Andrews Anecdotes Ancient and
Modern 17S9 one reads Should a
glass house fire be kept up without ex
tinction for a longer term than seven
years there is no doubt but that sala
mander would be generated in the
cinders This probably accounts for
the popular idea that a salamander
lives in the fire a fallacy so far re
moved from the truth that the curious
lizard like beast so called cannot en
dure even the heat of the sun but
skulks away under stones to avoid it
It will never lose Its reputation for
fire eating though which lingers still
in the heating utensil that is named
after it
Dickens and Thackeray
I once missed meeting Dickens at
Chatsworth He left the day of my
arrival writes Leveson Gower in his
memoirs Thackeray came that same
afternoon and was anxious to hear
about Dickens visit He wondered
whether he had toadied the duke very
much My impression Is that though
professing to be friends these two
great novelists did not care much for
one another

THE OLD POE COTTAGE
Reminder of Sad Scene In tbe
Life of u Foct
Many admirers of Edgar Allan Poe
have made pilgrimages to the cottage
in which the poet spent some of the
most melancholy hours of a most mel
ancholy life This cottage Is at Ford
ham once a Dutch village and In Poea
time quite a distance from the city of
New York but now well within the
limits of the Greater New York and a
part of the borough of Bronx The
cottage Is near the old KIngsbrldge
road and Is not far from Bronx park
where a famous zoological collection
attracts thousands of visitors on pleas-

THE POE COTTAGE AT FORDHAM
ant Sunday afternoons It is but one
story and a half in height and on the
first floor are three rooms one of them
a kitchen The second story is scarce
ly more than an attic but in one of
the small rooms that in the southwest
corner the poets beautiful wife Vir
ginia Clemm Poe wasted away with
consumption and died at last in the
midst of extreme privation She mar
ried Poe when hardly more than a
child and though ho was devoted to
his young and frail partner her short
life was full of hardships for the gen
ius of Poe was not recognized then as
it has been since and the rewards of
his literary labors were small There
is a story that she was wrapped up in
her husbands overcoat in her last sick
ness because the family did not have
enough bedclothing to keep her warm
Whether this is true or not it is certain
that they were very poor and a neigh
bor who laid Mrs Poes body out for
burial has said that she and other
women who lived near by furnished
the burial clothes It was fn 1845 just
before coming to live in this cottage
that Poe wrote The Raven His wife
died in 1847 and in the two following
years while still living at Fordham
Poe produced some of his best works
but they were years of extreme mel
ancholy and the poets frame of mind
was reflected in the sad but beautiful
Ulalume and Annabel Lee which
he composed in the study of the Ford
ham cottage or while pacing the little
veranda in front and gazing at the
stars

laeepin and the Cosaaclfs
The Turd cossack means robber and
the name Cossacks was given by the
Turks to a race in manners appear
ance and language like the Russians
but who are said not to be really akin
to thun The Cossacks of Little Rus
sia and the Don Cossacks are said to
be the most unscrupulous robbers in
the world They excel In horsemanship
and form a large part of the Russian
imperial cavalry Styled sometimes
the spies of the czar they keep tho
nihilists in greater check than any
other power and number many more
than a million men Mazeppa a Don

when condemned to be bound upon a
wild horse and borne away to his fate
was carried toward the Ukraine on

Violet For MonruliifC
It was not by accident that violet
was chosen by many nations as the ex
clusive color for mourning and by ua
also for half mourning Painters Buf
fering from hysteria and neurasthenia
will be inclined to cover their pictures
uniformly with the color most In ac
cordance with their condition of lassi
tude and exhaustion Thus originate
the violet pictures of Manet and his
school which spring from no actually
observable aspect of nature but from
a subjective view due to conditions of
the nerves When the entire surfaco
of walls in salons and art exhibitions
of the day appears veiled in uniform
half mourning this predilection for vio
let is simply an expression of the nerv
ous debility of the painter Nordaus
Degeneration
A Broad Hint
Sir Andrew Agnew of Lucknow a
well known Scotch baronet was long
pestered by an impudent sort of per
son who insisted on being constantly
underfoot Finally however he
dropped off and Sir Andrew was ask
ed how he got rid of him
Oh said he I gave him a broad
bint
A broad bint repeated the in
quirer I thought he was one of thoso
who never could be induced to tako
one
By ma saul said Sir Andrew ho
was obieeged to tak it For as the
chiel wadua gang oot at the door I
just threw him oot of the window
Air Pressure
At the level of the sea tbe pressure
of the atmosphere on tho piston of an
engine is about fifteen pounds to tho
square inch but decreases at higher
altitudes As this atmospheric pres
sure must be overcome by the steam
pressure before any work can be done
it is evident that at the diminished air
pressure of high altitudes more work
can be obtained from a given pressure
of steam than at the sea level or in
other words an equally effective pres
sure of steam can bo obtained with
the expenditure of less fuel The dif
ference however Is not great enough
to be of any practical Importance
Bounty For Scalps
During the French Indian war of
1754 the French offered a bounty for
British scalps In tho same year a
bounty of 100 each was offered by the
authorities of the several colonies In
1755 Massachusetts granted a bounty
of 40 for every scalp of a male Indian
over twelve years of ago and 20 each
for the scalps of women and children
In 17G4 John Penn grandson of Wil
liam Penn and governor of Pennsyl
vania offered a bounty of 150 for
every Indian buck killed and scalped

While on a secret mission to Paris
In 1583 Rosny had fallen In love with
the daughter of the president St Mes
mln The young lady was handsomo
and kind but while paying her his ad
dresses he heard of a Mile de Courte
nay who was reported to be beautiful
well born and wealthy besides Pru
dence suggested that he should inaku
her the Baroness de Rosny but he was
already half committed to the other
While he was pondering the subject
he arrived one day at an Inn In Nogent
and found to his dismay that by an
unlucky chance both ladies were lodged
in it Mile de St Mesmin in the left
wing and Mile de Courtenay in tho
right Both were ready to marry him
and he was ready to marry one of
them but could not decide which It
wa3 a very awkward position for tho
wavering lover and at first he thought
of saving himself by instant flight
While he hesitated Mile de St Mes
mlns younger sister saw him and ex
pressed her surprise that he had been
half an hour In the house without vis
iting them The decisive moment had
evidently come Turn to the right

him He did so and Anne de Courte

away Dont you eee that you have
caused this attack
I replied the astonished lady
Yes of course it is the perfume of
the rosebud in your hair
Really if It is so I will sacrifice the
guilty flower but judge before you

The flower detached from the head
