NURSING MOTHERS
u A richer milk than milk "
is good food for nursing
mothers. Scott's Emulsion is
the rich cream of cod liver
oil, and contains ten times as
much cream as milk does.
The nursing mother must
eat with the purpose of pro
ducing good, nourishing milk
for her baby. A little Scott's
Emulsion is often a very wise
addition to her daily diet. If
through nervousness or weak
ness her milk is a failure,
Scott's Emulsion will help
make it a success.
The baby gets the benefit,
too, when the mother takes
Scott's Emulsion. The same
remedy brings new strength
and nourishment to both.
We'll send yon a sample free upon request.

A stranger lost in a large city would j

than the guidance of another stranger
like himself. This is a natural conse

servatism and understatement it would injure California if Eastern
people were frightened away by exaggerated reports of el temblor and
a similar censorship was exercised over the press dispatches sent out
from San Francisco at that time. This greatly amused Bret Harte, who
had been overlooked in this supervision of local intelligence. In his
"Etc." in the November number of the Overland, he treated the topic
jocularly, saying that, according to the daily papers, the earthquake
would have suffered serious damage if the people had only known it
was coming. Harte's lightsome pleasantry excited the wrath of some
of the solid men of San Francisco, and when, not long after that, it
was proposed to establish a chair of recent literature in the University
of California, and invite Bret Harte to occupy it, one of the board of
regents, whose word was a power in the land, temporarily defeated the
scheme by swearing roundly that a man who had derided the dispute
between the earthquake and the newspapers should never have his sup
port for a professorship. Subsequently, however, this difficulty was
overcome, and Harte received his appointment.

MRS. TAYLOR'S
The Honolulu Florist,
heard a rustline in the cornfield on the side of the road. I supposed
at first that it was just a gang of Jersey postomce thieves on their
way to work, and didn't think anything more about it till nail a minuit
later, when the rustling stopped and a big black bear loped out of the
cornfield and stood right before me on the sidewalk.
"I dodged round him and started to run for mv house, tie came
after me full tilt. A bear looks slow when he's in a cage, but he isn't. I
knew the bear was gaining on me at every jump. Pretty soon I felt him
breathe. It was like one of those southwest winds in the dog days.
"Finally I felt a paw on my leg, and then I knew I was done for
unless I turned around and made a fight. The minute I turned the bear
went up on his hind legs and grabbed me around the waist.
"I didn't have anv weapon, but my arms were free, and, in a lucky
instant, I thought of mv crabs in my big bag over my shoulder. They
were all alive. I pulled out one and put it around on the bear's back,
but it didn't get a good hold. I heard the shell click when it fell on
the sidewalk. In sort of wrestling 'round to get a firmer grip on me
the bear stepped on the crab and squashed it.
"But those crabs were my only hope, so I took out another, and
reaching around the bear's body I found a place where the hair was
kind of thin, and planted the crab right there, it got a good nip and
hung on.
"The bear growled
him let ?o of me and he
mind with me and calculated that I could stand the hugging for about
five minutes more.
"I knew 'I had only a dozen crabs left, so I worked carefully and
took out one crab at a time so as not to drop any. I distributed 'em
all over the bear's back and held on to each one till I felt sure he had
nipped.
"Out of the dozen I guess ten got a bite into that crittur's hide
and hung on and kept nipping together. About the time I got the
sixth crab located the bear began to weaken his strangle hold on me ana
to waste his breath howling. I hardly had time to plant the last crab
before the bear quit dropping down on all fours and streaked for the
cornfield again. I guess the crabs stayed with him. for I heard him
growl all the way across the cornfield and into the w oods.
"If 1 had those crabs back I'd let 'em go alive into the Rah way
again. I feel so grateful."
" - John Shreve is one of the well-known citizens of Lorraine, and
there isn't a soul here who doesn't believe the bear story or who would
dare hint that Shreve invented it just as an excuse tor coming home
without any crabs. Lorraine, (X. J.) Cor. New York Sun.

When Bret Harte was connected with the Overland Monthly, an
unusually destructive earthquake visited San Francisco and its im
mediate vicinity in October. 1868. Five persons were killed by fall
ing cornices and chimneys, and much destruction was wrought in many
parts of the citv. As soon as the first panic at this disturbance had
subsided, and while lesser shocks were still quaking the earth, some of
the leading business men of San Francisco organized themselves into
a sort of vigilance committee, and visiting all the newspaper offices
strictly enjoined that the story of the earthquake be treated with con-
oruinarv men said that he was a romancer
him aside and spoke to him delicately upon the subject.
"Well," the American said, "it would hurt me to offend any of
your insular prejudices; but the fact is that when I commnece to bluff
my tongue sort of runs away with me. I'd take it kindly if you'd give
me a nudge, or a kick, or something, when you think I'm spreading
it too thick."
The son of the house said he would. That night the American
took an Fnglish heiress in to dinner, and she happened to refer to con
servatories. It started the American.
"I had a cousin in Virginia who built himself a greenhouse that
was thought remarkable. It was 413 feet long, 90 feet high,and"
Here his shins were barked tinder the table and the son of the house
caught his eye. He rubbed the dent and added, with a sigh: "And
about an inch wide."

THE JOURNALIST.
(Conclusion of Hon. Whitelaw Reid's Yale Lecture on "The Journalist
and Public Affairs.")
The Journalist's opportunity is beyond estimate. To him are given
the kevs of every study, the entry to every family, the ear of every
citizen when at ease and in his most receptive moods powers of ap-
rotestant pastor or the
but, reverently be it
said, he is a voice in the wilderness preparing a way. He is by no
means a priest, but his words carry wider and further than the priest's,
and he preaches the gospel of humanity. He is not a king, but he nur
tures and trains the king, and the land is ruled by the public opinion
he evokes and shapes. If you value this good land the Lord has given
u. if you would have a soul in this marvellous civilization and a lifting
i power for humanity, look well to the nurture and training of your king.

ELECTRICAL RAILWAYS IN ITALY.
Americans must not think that they are in all departments at the
head of electrical progress. To say nothing of Marconi's achievements
Italy is far in advance of the United States in the introduction of elec
trical traction, in place of steam, upon long sections of important rail
wav lines. The line of the Adraiatic Company between Lecco, on Lake
Como, and Sondrio, 67 miles in length, is operated by electricity, and
passenger trains traverse it at the rate of more than 40 miles an hour.
A different system is in use on the line of the Mediteranean Company,
from Milan to Puerto Ccresio, on Lake Lugano, 45 miles, where a speed
of 50 miles an hour is attained by trains consisting of a motor car and
three passenger carriages.
