AN UNKIND KINDNESS.
Respect for Foreigner’s Feelings Led
Him to Make Ludicrous
Blunder.
Politeness has never been counted
the national virtue; but an Italian no
bleman attached to his country’s em
bassy in Washington would make one
of its manifestations a national fault.
The count lias been in America long
enough to have lost, with some of his
accent, all sensitiveness about his
early dilliculties with the language.
He tells this story of mistaken Amer
ican kindness on himself:
“One of my greatest difficulties in
•learning English,’’ he said., "was the
politeness of my American friends in
ignoring my what you call breaks. At
first my words were not always to
eay, on the spot; yet I was allowed
•to say many words that were wrong
‘till the time came when a laugh could
not be stopped.
“Once at Newport my hostess took
•me to drive. Bellevue avenue was
crowded, and the horses were magnifi
cent. I wanted to tell my admiration
of the high-stepping horses, but could
not think of the word. ’Madam,’ 1
said, ‘what should 1 call this,’ and 1
laid my hand on my knee. ‘Trousers,’
she replied.
“‘Ah, now I can say my thought,’
said I. 'The American horses swing
their trousers magnificently high.’
Madam did not move an eyelash. ‘I
will remember,’ 1 said to myself—
‘trousers, trousers.
“Next day the guests of madam
were taken to a picnic on the rocks by
the sea; the hostess was carving a
small fowl. ‘What part may I cut for
you’ she said. All l could remember
of the body was the word 1 had learned
on the drive the day before. ‘The
trousers, if you please, madam,’ I said
with promptness. For a moment
there was silence, then one of the
young ladies burst out to laugh, then
everybody, and there were afterward
many apologies, to my embarrassment.
“Now, would it not have been a
kindness if madam had corrected my
*irst mistake?”
Mnts ana tne uvernow.
Dr. Arthur J. Hayes, who recently
visited Abyssinia with a surveying
party sent out to set up marks for
gauging the rise of the ISlue Nile, the
branch of the “river of Egypt,” which
contributes most to its annual over
flow and to the fertilization of the
Nile delta, declares that the wonder
ful productiveness of the mud spread
over the cultivated parts of Egypt
every year is due to the white ants, or
’ termites, which abound in Abyssinia
and have always been considered a de
structive pest..
Killed on Wedding Eve.
A well-known doctor in Plaunen,
Germany, who was to have been mar
ried, was found shot in his bed, with
a revolver at his side. The doctor,
who was just 30 years old, was one
of the rising medical men of the day,
but he had become entangled with
a woman, who had taken a solemn
oath that if he married anyone else
but her she would shoot the bride
at the altar.
Bread Still the Staple Food.
In time of scarcity a man could sub
sist upon two pounds of bread a day
without lack of energy, is the state
ment made by Dr. Robert Hutchinson,
of the London Hospital, who supplied
evidence degarding food supply to a
royal commission; also that bread is.
t.he most important of all the common
foods of the people.
Great Man's Humility.
Pope Adrian VI. 11522) was the son
of a barge builder at Utrecht. After
occupying the papal chair for the
short space of two years, he desired
tlie following inscription i he placed
on his tomb: "Here !>s A-Man VT„
who esteemed no m.s.. • v. ...eh
happened to him in life , > great n*
his being called to govern.”
CHILD’S SIMPLE FAITH.
Was Told God Would Take Care of
Kim and Was Not
Afraid.
A friend told this story from real
life the other day, writes Rev. C. If.
Mitchell, in the New York Observer.
"A wild storm was raging around a
prairie home one night. The windows
were blown in and no lights could be
kept burning. It was only with diffi
culty that the doors could be braced
against the blast, the father was ab
sent from home, and the mother,
grandmother and three children sat in
the darkness in a room on the shel
tered sme of the house, fearing that
at any moment the house might be
swept from the foundations by the
force of the wind.
"Suddenly 11-year-old Walter was
missed. He had been holding a whis
pered conversation with his grand
mather only a few moments before.
Frantic with fear, the mother called
him at the top of her voice, and, re
ceiving no reply, started to grope her
way through the darkness and confu
sion of the house, to iiml. if possible,
the missing boy.
“She found him in his room—sound
asleep! And when she asked how he
could go to sleep when they were ali
in danger, he simply replied:
“ ‘Why, mamma, grandma told me
God would take tare of us, and 1
thought 1 might as well go to bed
again.’ ”
A COW WITH A RECORD.
Noted Member of the Guernsey Fam
ily Which Has Numerous Progeny.
Glenwood Girl VI. belongs to one
of the noted Guernsey families. Her
mother, Glenwood Girl, was imported
in her dam in 1883 and has given birth
to seven daughters and four bulls. All
of Glenwood Girl's daughters are alive
except Glenwood Girl II., which had
to be killed on account of an injury.
In every dairy herd there is usually
some cow that is a great deal better
Guernsey Cow, Glenwood Girl VI.
than all the rest, one that is capable
of producing large yields of milk and
fat, and at the same time gives birth
to many strong and large producing
animals. The science of breeding lies
in the judicious use that is made of
the best blood in the herd. In order
to obtain the best results, records
must be kept of not only the amount j
of product yielded, but a breeding rec
ord, which should show the strong
characteristics of the animal, as well
as the weak.
Glenwood Girl VI. is considered one
of the best individuals of this family
and her heifers are making good rec
ords and her bulls are producing some
very fine stock. These facts till show
that Glenwood Girl was a very pre
potent animal and that she has trans
mitted to her daughters and bulls the
same good trait.
Glenwood Girl VI. has a yearly rec
ord of 12,184 pounds of milk; average
test, 4.69 per cent., and 572 pounds of
fat, equivalent to 6S7 pounds of but
ter.

Most people know that if they have
been sick they need Scott s Emul
.S'ion to bring back health and strength.
But the strongest point about Scott's
Emulsion is that you don’t have to be
sick to get results from it.
It keeps up the athlete’s strength, puts fat
on thin people, makes a fretful baby happy,
brings color to a pale girl’s cheeks, and pre
vents coughs, colds and consumption.
Food in concentrated form for sick and
well, young and old, rich and poor.
