Soup lu France.

It is rumored that the French, after having taught the world the merits of soup, are themselves falling off in their love for the traditional national dish. Until the Franco-Prussian war soup was regularly taken at luncheon as well as at dinner and the older cus- tom included breakfast No. 1 as well, but it is now coming to be the fashion to restrict its use to dinner. In this country the soup hahit has increased prodigiously within the past ten yeara, though less importance is attached to it than in Europe.

How To Gain Flesh

Persons have been known to gain a pound a day by taking an ounce of SCOTT'S EMUL- SION. It is strange, but it often happens.

Somehow the ounce produces the pound; it seems to start the digestive machinery going prop- erly, so that the patient is able to digest and absorb his ordinary food, which he could not do be- fore, and that is the way the gain is made.

A certain amount of flesh is necessary for health; if you have not got it you can get it by taking

Scour's Emulsion

You will find it just as useful in summer as in winter, and if you are thriving upen it don't stop because the weather is warm.

How General Rutherford B. Hayes Got luto a Tleklish Situation aud Ont Again.

An interesting war story was told re cently by o man who took part in s meeting on hoord the steamer Sylvis coming from Porto Rico to New York. The chief speaker in the party was Maj. Webb C. Hayes, son of the late presi- dent, who has been recently made lieu. tenant colonel of the Thirty-first in- fantry. Beside him sat Capt. P'nget, the British military attache, and a third was a western newspaper man. They had been speaking of luck in war, and the major remarked:

"I don't know whether I'm lucky or unlucky. I've been in a number of hat- tles and in every one I've been wound- ed or had my horse wounded. None of my wounds, however, has been grave enough to disable me permanently." Capt. Paget, who has witnessed or taken part in 20 wars, said: "I suppose that I'm rather lucky, because I've had very much the same experience and am alive to-day, while most of my old col. leagues have passed away."

The western editor spoke up: "In the major's case I think it's heredity. I

bereit and probably outmaneuvered, and were falling back, pursued by the con- federates, Hayes was ordered to hold the enemy in cheek in n narrow valley until the artillery and supply wagons were safe. He promptly intrenched himself and erected barricades of logs and stone fences. Ile had Gen. Hast- ings to hold one side of the gorge and Maj. William McKinley, now president, to hold the center. The night wore or and soon the firing hegan.

"Suddenly Gen. Hayes saw men wounded and staggering in front of one of his barricades, and in the darkness took them for his own soldiers. He or- dered the firing to cease, and ran him- self out of the line to save them as far as he could. A few feet from a cannon he heard a man moaning. He picked him up and carried him within the lines and said gently in the dark:

""My boy, what regiment do you he- long to?'

"The man gasped: 'I'm one of Ear ly's hrigade.'
