At a period when newspaper discus dons were rather vapid, despite tbe ac credited appearance of the sea serpen! and the arrival of the large potato. Max Nordaa In an Austrian Journal propounded a problem that should lead to useful Inquiry: Why was It that the Inhabitants ol Pomp,.! did not return to their home* afte** the destruction of the city? Of the 30 000 inhabitants a few bun dreds at most seem to hare lost their (lives. The eruption of Vesuvius lasted only a few days. The deposit of lava and ushev was not very thick. Th« bouses might have been easily repaired. Many of them stand to this day. They were beautiful bouses, many of them, richly appointed and containing valu ables of great price. Had tbe Pom peiians no love of home, or were they too superstitious, or did their terror at the eruption make them bolieve Lb* disaster might come again?

CALL They Dislike the Wet Weather aa« Seek a Place of Safety. Both wild and tame animals, four footed or with wings, have a deep seat ed aversion to wet weather. Even wa ter fowl will seek a dry hiding place when it raius. Did you ever watch the actions of cattle before a big storm? If so, you Dust have seen them grow more and more uneasy as tbe clouds gathered. You also saw them run up and down the field’, as If seeking to escape some Impending danger. Finally, when the storm breaks, they draw close together and with lowered heads present a pic ture of despair. Domestic animals wben It rains will always keep indoors, or, failing that they will seek shelter by the barn oi under trees or beneath the hedges aiu? thickets—In shtrt. in any convenient place where they may not be entirely exposed to the downpour. It Is the same with fowls. They -JU like the rain, which souks their fcatb crs. They seek sheltered places ant! crt*p under wagons or behind boxe» ami boards. Chickens do not mind get ting tbelr feet w£t, for they will Acrertirb fat »fche the ground soon after a shower in search of worms irad^jcytlcg. Wild birds do their best to keep oui of tbe rain. Some of them build a rotx over their nests; others choose a bom* ander the eaves or under a projecting cliff, where they may be safe from tin discomfort that the rain brings. But most of them are without sheltet frorided in advance by their own fore thought These take refuge in any place that they happen to tind at bum) If you watch them before tbe storm you will see them Looking for such a place. If the storm comes suddenly the small and helpless ones seem be wildeied, flying from tree to tree and from limb to limb, quite unable to make □p tbeir minds exactly where to bidi themselves.—Pittsburg Dispatch.

If your baby is scrawny, Scott’s Emulsion is what he wants. The healthy baby stores as fat what it does not need immediately for bone and muscle. Fat babies are happy ; they do uot cry ; they are rich ; their fat is laid up for time of need. They are happy because they are comfortable. The fat sur rounds their little nerves and cushions them. When they are scrawny those nerves are hurt at every ungentle touch. They delight in Scott’s Emul sion. It is as sweet as wholesome to them.

DON’T FORGET THIS The law requires you to value your property at its true value and swear to it. It is less work for me to take you return than to add the 50 per cent, penalty. Taxes are high enough with out paying penalty, so make you re turn. I make every effort to get your re turns, Mid if you incur the 50 per cent, penalty by non-return it will be you fault and you must abide the consequences. All returns must be sworn to that the valuation is the true valu'fc if not they will be subject to 50 per cent penalty. This is the law as lately con strued by the Attorney General and is 1 according to instructions received at) this office from the Comptroller Gen-., eral.
