Jacob.

I simply cannot endure the thought that any of my girls are to be
ignorant of the charm of the Old Testament. I want them to feel as I do
about the "mountains of Gilboa," and the "dew of Hermon," and the
fastnesses of Moab; I want them to know Edom and Philistia and Salem and
Tyre and Sidon and the cedars of Lebanon. And I _don't_ want them ever
to go fumbling and stumbling around through the Bible, not knowing where
to find their places, peering about after Second Kings in Deuteronomy,
and looking for the Psalms and the Proverbs away over in Malachi. Learn
the order of the books, my dears, and fix it in your minds by often
reading the Bible, just as you would read any other book, only with the
feeling that it will give you an amount of pleasure and profit that no
other book can. There are, of course, many books based upon the Bible,
and among them are such volumes as _Bible Stories for the Young_,
published by Harper & Brothers, a very attractive little book to lie
beside your Bible.

A GOOD CHILD

is usually healthy, and both conditions are developed by use of proper
food. The Gail Borden Eagle Brand Condensed Milk is the best infant's
food; so easily prepared that improper feeding is inexcusable and
unnecessary.--[_Adv._]

ADVERTISEMENTS.

No Secret About It.

Physicians have had the formula of Scott's Emulsion for 20 years and
know they can always depend upon it as being exactly the same. It
contains the purest Norway Cod-liver Oil, the best Hypophosphites and
chemically pure Glycerine, made into a perfect Emulsion that does not
separate or grow rancid like other so-called Emulsions. There have been
many things presented as substitutes, but there is nothing that can take
its place in Consumption and all wasting diseases.

_Don't be persuaded to accept a substitute!_
