You may have heard
about SCOTT'S EMULSION
and have a vague notion
that it is cod-liver oil with
its bad taste and smell and
all its other repulsive fea-
tures. It is cod-liver oil, the
purest and the best in the
world, but made so palata-
ble that almost everybody
can take it. Nearly all
children like it and ask for
more.

EMULSION
looks like cream; it nour-
ishes the wasted body of
the baby, child or, adult
better than cream or any
other food in existence. It
bears about the same rela-
tion to other emulsions that
cream does to milk, If you
have had any experience
with other so-called ,ajust as
good" preparations, you
will find that this is a fact.
The hypophosphites that are

News Notes.
-Fifty miners were entombed by a ter-
rific explosion in the Brazoell ooal works,
on Redstone -creek ,Pennsylvania, Saturday
morning, and only fourteen are known 'to
have escaped with their lives- Twenty
bodies have been recovered. The number
missing is not definitely known, estimates
varying from fifteen to thirty.
-Six little girls were burned to death,
four probahly fatally burned and eight other
persons bedly injured during the rehearsal
of Christmas exercises of one of the elcusses
at St. Francis echool, Quincy,Illinoi, on
Friday. There were 14 litele girls in the
class and they represented different char-
aotere. Two of them appeared as lambs
and wore white fleece on their germents.
The fleece of one caught fire from an open
gas jet and in an instant the whole ring of
little cites was in flemes. Sisters - of the
school ran to the rescue and were also bad-
ly burned. Six died almost instantly from
burns, and four of the survivors will die.

Her Mistake.
The train atopped at a small local station,
and an old lady, burdened with luggage,
was hurled into an empty compartment by
the patient guard. •
"Don't you forget to put me out at
Brighton," she gasped.
"All right, misses," cried the grtard,
impatiently, as he whistled "Right away."
The stout lady did not cone( al her ident-
ity ea -it was expressed in large capitals on
each -article of her baggage, "Mrs. Bal.
come, passenger to Brighton."
At, each station she popped out her head
and shoulders as far as they would go, and
cried -" Be this Brighton, master guard ?"
to which the guard would reply, testily-
" No, no, minus; I'll let you know whep
you get there,"
Pretiently the train stopped at a little
rural station, and the porter came running
along the platform shouting, "Balcombe !
Balcombe !"
" Hero I be," ci ied Mrs. Balcombo, in
great eicitement. "Only you might be a
bit more civil ! Be 1 to get out ?"
" Yes, if you're Balcombe," cried the
porter; "look alive ;" and he jumped Mrs.
Balcombe on the platform, and jumped her,
parcels after her, as if he had to do with so
many bags of wheat.
Right here," cried the porter ; but just
at that moment, as he was starting kthe
train, the guard caught sight of the agitated
Mre. Balcombe.
" What are you doing here, misses ?"
shouted.
"Why, ain't this Brighton, sir?" quivered
Mrs. Balcome.
" Brighton be jiggered I" roared the
guard ; "'tie Balcombe station," and he
shot back Mrs. Balcombe into the carriage,
and. shot her bundles after her, in a time
that was ever after.a record on that partic-
ular line.

erfortnanee.
"Some years ago," said the musician
who dee ared that snakes loved DlIIIC
and who was telling the story to prove
his asser ion, "1 was the organist in a
little coui try chur di near the Blue moun-
tains in Schtdyki I county, The moun-
tains web e fell o1 snakes. I used often
to go out in the e owls and -take my cor-
net along, jUst to have a little music and
practice by mysel . One day I was sit-
ting on a log by a -spring, playing softly
and hard y thinktg about what I was
doing, w 1 s hen ddenly saw a giaut
black snake eery close to rare, coiled up
and swaying his l ead to the rhytlun of
t he LI u ne. I an] not afraid of enak es and
knew this one to be as harmless as a kit-
ten, So I was mote 'amused than fright-
ened and contipue to play a variety of
ales for him to s ,e the effect. He ap-
peared to enjoy it immensely, and when
I played somethis g lively he seemed to
hoc:oast' almost del rions in his 'gyrations.
I conchal el that i he had legs he would
surely da ice, and as it was his motions
\rere exc edingly raceful and his ideas
of time eecellente His eyes shone with
t he pleasere it was giviug him, and his
forked torigue fai ay seemed to blaze in
the eestaSy of his enjoyment. Suddenly
I stopeetel and he seemed a very picture
of. sadness and disappointment. He
crawled 0 ose upto me .and asked me to
iclnisie just as pil hey as if he knew ev-
ere word n the E tglish language. ,
'It -suddenly o curved to me that it
\valid be an int resting experiment to
.see if he would f How the music. So I
get up end playing softly began to walk
0 way:, Ile followed at once, and I ' led
him 81(»g down tb the church. When I
unlocked the door, he followed tue in
without hesitation and came right after
me up into the organ loft. 1 then tried
hint with the organ, and he was even
more d eiechted tbrUl NVitil U1C COMA.
1
Fiatling that he would never get enaugh
of the niusic, I wos obliged at length to
drive hit 1 away la main. force..
"The lext (ley 1 went into the church
,.
to lu.net ce and had not been long at it
NVIIVD 1 ivied it rustle on the carpet, and,
looking down, there was his snakeship
taking i io, and when 1 finished 1 had to
d ri NT h in a way again. By the next
Sunday, had almost forgotten about the
incident, \ellen, just as we were in the
midet o the second hymn, 1 suddenly
heard a screamieg and screeching among
the fem ile members of the choir, as if
some On ' were scalping them all at once.
I looked up just in time to see- my friend,
the suck , disappearing with. a shower of
hyinnho ks and stools hurled by the
einle ne tubers of the choir flying after
him. However, he escaped, and I said
nothiug ibout my previous acquaintance
Ayith the reptile. You may imagine that
it broke up the service for awhile, but
finally e .erything quieted down and went
on as us ial. .
' "After that the snake came again for
many w eks every time I practiced, but
it seems - that he liad become convinced
that it Nyas dangerous when others wer.e
preseet, 'so he never again entered the
church curing service, though doubtless
he was I stening at a safe point outside.
'Soon afterward members of the
church eported that they had heard
3 •
mysterm is breathings of the organ at
night in passing the church and inquired
Idiether 1 was practicing. I assured
them that I was not. This occurred sev-
eral times, and as it could• not be satis-
factorily explained it aroused a deal of
commeua and some of the more supersti-
tious began to whisper that the church
was haunted and that the spirit of a
former oi•ganist was at the bottom of it.
As the Mystery was beginning to tell on
themerves of the neighborhood 'as well as
on my on 1 determined to ferret it out.
The mueic would generally sound as if
Fame one were- touching the keys with
one tinge, though sometimes a number of
keys wot Id be depressed simultaneously,
but wheoever I would enter the church. I
would find no one there. The organ,
however, would be open, though I had
left it closed when I lase used it.
"One evening I determined to :make a
night of it and solve the mystery if it
was poseible. 1 accordingly took up a
concealed, position in the church shortly
after dusk, I was assisted somewhat by
the fact ehat the moon shone into the
building land illuminated a small space
a Sound ti c organ. It WAS no sooner fully
dark tha 1 I heard a slight rustle and a
moment ater .saw none other than my
old frien I, the black snake, wriggle his
}
way up .on the music stool. He was not
nlone, ,b4 was followed by half a dozen
or more of bis companions, who,formed
a shiny black mass eon the stook You
cab ima,g ne that I was amazed as I had
never been before, but I resolved to
await developments. The next move I
noticed was that all the snakes, appar-
ently under the direction of my old ac-
nunintanee, put their heads against the
lid, and, pushing all together, it went up
as easily as if 1 had lifted it myself.
Then all he other snakes got down. His
musical enakeship then let down a coil
and graseed a lever that started the wa-
ter motor' that did the pumping, and ev-
