As a rule we don't use or refer to testimonials in addressing the public, but the above remark and similar expressions are made so often in connec- tion with Scott's Emulsion that they are worthy of occasional note. From infancy to old age Scott's Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying im- proper and weak develop ment, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The action of Scott's Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emul- sion itself.

Successful and happy home-making has been and will continue to be an in- teresting problem. A writer gives forth the following suggestions: l.eai'n to govern yourself and le gentle and pultenl. Guard your tempers, especially in .sea.sons of ill-health, irritation, and trouble, and soften Ihem by prayer an 1 a .sense of your own shortcomings and eri'ors. Remember thai, valuable as is ttic gift of speech, silence is often more valuable. Do not expect too much from othnrs, but remember that we should forbear and forgive as we often desire forbear- ance and ft.rgiveness ourselves. Never retort a sharp or angry word. II is the second word thut niali'es the quarrel. Beware of the first disagreement. I.earn to speak in a gentle lone rf voice, I.earn lo say kind and pleasant things whenever oppoilunity offers. .Study the characlers of (;ach, nnd sympathize wilh all in their troubles, however small. Avoid moods and pets and flt.s of sulkiness. I.earn lo deny yourself and prefer others. Beware of meddlers and lale-benrers. Never conceive a had motive if a good one is conceivable.. Re gentle nnd firm with children. Do not allow your children lo I e nway from home iil night without knowing' where Itiey ore. Do not .sny anything in their hearing whicti you do not wish them lo repeat. Beware of correcling them in a pe- tulant or angry manner. THE i;\FOIll L'NATK EL'GEME.

There is to-day living in Paris, bereft of luisband, son and empire, nnd fur many years an exile, the aged woman who was once Ihe beautiful und brilliant Ivinpress Dugenie. France, now more than thirty years a republic, no longer forbids its former sovereign to pn.ss her clo.'^ing days amid llio scenes of tier triumphs und her dii- illusionineiit.

She was staying at Deauville, and her husband brought Ins disguised charge lo her there, on the way lo the coast to suii for Englan I. Tile empress hnd wilh her only a lillle reticule; on the journey slia had washed out her own two liandkerchiefs, and ironed tliem liy pre.ssing them between Ihc leaves of her prayer-book. Her ho.-.less provided her wilh fresh linen, and afterwards, fearing recognition by the servants, wailed upon her at table herself. "Ah, liow much trouble 1 am givingl' the grateful guest murmured again and again.

"The thing I would have liked lo bring away with me above all others," she moiuiu^d, "was ttie liny brush with which I used to brusli my boy's hair when he was a baby."

In the strict definition of the word there are very few mammals which hibernate, bocominjf so lo.it in steep as to bo oljlivious of what is going on around them, .says the Hangor News, Our raccoons and skunks and lienrs crawl away to hiding places and siTiu to he torpid, though they awaken and beconio active us soou as their apartmcnUs aro invaded ly human foes. Twice wo have .seen bears uncover- ed from under fallen trees durln;; very cold weather in midwinter, and in both cases the animals were awake and on the defensivo as soon as the choppers could get at thcui. Rac- coons do not hibernate in the senwo of l)(>coming unconscious, 'llicy den up in hollow trees and logs, but let some one coino along and strike for- cibly Hbove their secluded dens, and tho.v aro up and dressud and ready to (leo us quickly as a family is when the lire ularm is sounded at the front door. During nearly every winter thaw, tiuurs, hkuiik.1 und raccoona come out and walk about on the snow, at times goieg miles away' from their winter quarters.

The old notion that tlio father nnd mother chipmunk took their children into winter quarters and gave thent lc.s.son.s in stealing grain and gnawing holoa in corn bins is a fabrication, j Wo have talked with scores of men who havo been close ob.sorvers of chipmunks lor years. .\m\ as yet we have found none who ever saw two chipmunks dwolling in the samo com- partment. Skunks, however, n'-o very social in their winter habits One winter when a barn in Waldo j county burned down tho charred bod- I icH of eight skunks were taken from tho ashes and rubbish leit from the blaze, Itaccuons havo small objco tions to receiving sleeping partners in hollow trws, though bears scfin to bo moro.se and solitary brulos. which huvo no liking (or their kind, Hut tho woodchuck slcopa Houndly enough to make up for -ill tho wa>;e- ful und hall'-wakcfuV croaluri's. lioys Xvho havo stored tame woodchucks in barr.'ls In tho collar to i>n.ss the win-i tor have taken tho torpid aniulaU and carried Ihem miU« in tlieir arms , without breaking in upon their sb e!>.
