They cannot digest it.
It upsets the stomach.
Knowing these things, we have digested the oil in Scott’s Emulsion of Cod- liver Oil with Hypophos- phites; that is, we have broken it up into little glob- ules, or droplets.
We use machinery to do the work of the digestive organs, and you obtain the good effects of the digested oil at once. That is why you

Is the churn to be done away along with other time honored domestic ap- purtenances? In France a process has been patented for chemically taking butter out of cream. A certain Je-- tac ferment is put inéo the cream. This coats the fat globules with an albumi- nous covering. Then the cream is heat- ed, aerated and put through another fermentation, alcoholic, which causes the fat globules to rise to the surface, after which they are gathered and washed. What advantage all this riga- marole has over just plain churning does not appear.

DOOLITTLE’S LITTLE JOKE.
How He Conferred an Honor Upon His Friend, Senator Fessenden,
The old senator was a great story teller and related many interesting and humorous accounts of what he had seen in public life. One of his favorite sto- ries was at the expense of Senator Fes- senden, @ warm personal friend. The judge snd Senator Fessenden had been appointed cu acommission, with sever others, to treat with the various chiefs of the Sioux Nation on an important In- dian question of the day. It was long before railways had been introduced into the far west, and the members of the commission had to travel on horse- back. Judge Doolittle was chairman of the commission, but at the conference shifted that duty to the shoulders of Senator Fessenden. The latter was high- ly pleased at the honor conferred on him and much ‘‘puffed up’’ in consequence, The judge had method in his madness, howeverfor he had heard of the pe- culiar reception tendered by the Indians to the spokesman of any party of visit- ing whites.
At the appointed time the two parties to the conference congregated. There were probably 200 Indian chiefs present, with their wives. Senator Fessenden advanced to do the honors for the com- missioners, when, to his dismay, the whole body ot Indians, squaws and al, advanced and, after embracing the chairman, gave him, according to their custom, a welcoming kiss. Judge Doo- little often said he thought that Fessen- den never forgave him for the trick. — Boston Herald.

“SILVER STATUE STORED.
The Figure Which Montana Sent to the
World’s Fair Causes a Syndicate Trouble. The Ada Rehan statue of Justice,
about which there has been and is like- ly to be much expensive litigation, car- ries an interesting story. Romance and fact are most strangely woven in its history, and the end is not yet.
The expensive piece of statuary is
now put away in the storeof S. Barnum & Co., awaiting the final action of the court as to its disposition. The statue ia the working out of an idea advanced by a wealthy Montana man, Judge Bick- ford of Helena. This gentleman was the chief promoter of the enterprise and is the president of the company.
As is well known, the statue was
shown at the World’s fair as a Montana_
exhibit. The figure is considered as near the ideal representation of the fig- ure of Justice as it is possible to make.
It is popularly supposed that Ada Re- han posed for the figure, but this story is open to all sorts of argument. One version, Which finds many believers, is to the effect that an Illinois girl posed for the figure. Whether or not the
praises she received for her entrancing’
beauty and superb figure had the effecs of turning her head is not entirely clear. At any rate, the story goes that the mis- guided girl strayed from the path of rectitude and forsook all her friends un- til such a time as she was forsaken by them. No matter whether this story is true or not, it sounds well and lends an added if unhealthy charm to a discus- sion of the famous work of art.
The statue is owned by the Montana Silver Statue company. It stands nine feet high, and its weight approximates two tons. It is made almost entirely of Montana silver, with as much alloy added as will insure lasting qualities. The cast was madein Chicago. The first experiment was a lamentable failure, the surface of the figure being fuil of little holes and not at allsmooth. Then an expert was brought all the way from Paris, and he was successful with the casting. The figure stood out a perfect likeness of its beautiful model.
It is impossible to place even a con-
servative estimate upon the value om bhe
statue. The amount of silver it contains, reckoned at bullion rates, is considera- ble, of course, but its chief value is as a work of art. A representative of the stockholders of the company declares that $60,000 is not by any meaus too
high an estimate of its worth.
When the World’s fair had closed, the owners of the statue cast about for
some plan to make it a paying invest- ment. They decided, after due delibera- tion, to display it in show windows of large stores over the country for a prop- er consideration. great success, and but for the unfortu- nate fact that the stockholders quarreling among themselves wo followed today
The plan proved a
ot to d be
There were two factions among the
stockholders. One, led by F. D. Higby,
had charge of the exhibits. The other faction claimed, whether justly or not is a matter for the courts to determine,. that Mr. Higby was not acting in good’ faith and did not make proper returns of business done. reached a climax in December, 1896, at the time the statue was being exhibited: in the show window of Crosby Bros. of this city.
Ths controversy
The secretary of the company, who.
represented the faction opposed to Hig- by, arrived in Topeka the evening be- fore the statue was to be moved to the next advertised point. That evening he went to work quietly and took the nec- essary legal steps for the detention of the statue. next morning to proceed with the busi- ness of moving it, he was confronted by Samuel Barnum of this city, who had been appointed as receiver and who im- mediately took possession of the statue in the name of the law.
When Mr. Higby appeared
This, in brief, is the history of the
famous work of art. What the final out- come of it all will be is merely conjec- tural. difficulty will be settled soon. It is stat-
