BRAlNY GUESTS
Frequently Have Trouble With What Is Foun nd
on Fashionable Tables

1t has been discovered by some of the
society ladies in some of the larger cities
that number of the most esteemed
guests at their functions" are more or
less disagreeably affected by coffee, this
fact being particularly observable
among the brilliant and brainy ones.
To meet the want of coffee fanciers with
whom the subtle beverage does not
agree, Postum, the health coffee, has
been quite largely introduced in fashion,
able quarters. This is a singularly ap-
petizing drink made from cereals,
(wheat, etc., by the Postum
Cereal Co., Limited, Battle Creek,
Mich, which incidentally looks and
smells like fine coffee, but instead
of producing the unpleasant disturban-
ces with the digestive organs, as coffee
does in numberlees cases, it agrees per.
fectly with the weakest stomach and is
nourishing and fattening, being made
wholly from pure grains. 1t can be
served strong as an after dinner coffee
with perfect success as to looks, taste
and effect upon the guests.

The latest fad is the rainbow party,
which derives its name from the fact
that the girls wear pretty aprons of ey-
cry shade and hue which their good or
bad taste may suggest, all OF which are
left unh,mmcd. Every girl has num-
Der, and two of them take charge of a
box containing duplicates, which is
placed near the cloakroom and from
which the men, having previously
bought tickets, draw Il number, armed
with which they set forth on voyage
of discovery to find the young lady
wearing the corresponding one ON her
apron.
When all have found their partners,
the master of the ceremonies proclaims
the conditions-namely, that the young
men are to set about hemming the
appnns, the one acquitting himself the
best gaining the prize. The girls supply
the cavaliers with needles and thread,
and at the call of "Timel' the fun be-
gins with the efforts of the poor fellows
to thread their needles. At the second
call of "Time" the work is handed in to
the committee, which passes Judgment
upon it and awards the prizes, which
sometimes are of great value, to the VIC
tors, after which the aprons are ratified
for, and the party winds up with q
dainty little supper.

A well known Portland man, who is
the owner Of a fine young horse, has IA
pet hobby, and that is telling II horse S
age with the nd of IL long hair from the
animals tail, gold ring and glass OF
water
His idea is to take the ring, place it
in the center of the hair, and holding
both ends, put the ring in a glass. He
claims that the ring thus suspended will
strike against the glass, giving the cor
rect age of the horse To prove this as
sertion he invited veterinary surgeon
and several friends one day the past
week to see the trick done. The doctor
was to examine the horse and tell if the
test was correct
The young man pulled a long hair
from the animals tail, put it through q
ring and gave it to friend to hold in
the glass of water. At first it did not
seem to work, and there was a look of
anxiety on the young mans face, but in
few seconds there was click, and the
ring began to strike against the glass sc
fast that it was hard to keep count. The
man who was holding the hair asserted
that the ring tapped 80 times, the cor
rect age of the horse, but the doctor
claimed that there must be some mis-
take either in the test or the horse,
for the animal had every appearance OF
being only Il few years old, and a good
horse at that -Kennebec Journal

: OF Iut htPOTVtT.
A Concert,

1t must be well known to the people
have had large and flourishing musical
association this past few months under
the direction of Prof. Marshall of Ban
gor. The association has been doing
some fine work the past winter, as is
we'll attested by the concert recently
given at Coburn hall. Probably no one
who stops to consider the matter will
doubt the necessity of higher standard
of music in our community,
The music practiced by the assoei; :
ton has been of a high order, partly
sacred and pa thy secular; and the i'm
provement in reading music has been
very marked 1t must seem therefore
that the churches are, Cor should be-
more interested in this matter of music
than any other class in the community.
The bills of this association have b en-
pared down to the very lowest point !;
and still they are large. The bills for
conductor, hall and music amount
to something over 5000 per night.
Another thing, the association voted to
join the Maine Festival chorus; this
means more money; and to help pay
expenses of rehearsals, it is proposed to
give concert 10 Coburn hall, March, 10,
1897, when this chorus will be out in
full force.
To make the entertainment more at
tractive and to ensure full house,
Mr.. j. c. Bartlett, Bostop's favorite
tenor, whom Skowhegan people always
delight to hear has been engaged to as
sist.
In view Of the fact that church wor-
ship is so much dependent on, and in
debted to music for its interest and
effect upon those whose object it should
be, and Is, to reach, cannot the members
of the various churches afford to fall
into line with all others, and give the
singers rousing benefit? They will
confidently expect 1t, and can guarantee
an enjoyable concert.

Mr.. Spoonamore for some time had
had sore feeling in the upper part of
his throat
He went to an emmett specialist and
stated his case.
The eminent specialist examined his
throat by means of a costly electric ap-
paratus and told Mr.. Spoonamore he
had organic throat trouble, complicated
by symptoms of tonsilitis.
He wrote Il prescription and handed
1t to him.
The bill was $25.
Mr. Spoonamore paid it and went to
drug store to have the prescription
filled.
This cost him s. more
On his way home he passed dentist 5
office.
Obeying a hasty impulse, he went in.
Il wish You would see if there IS any
thing the matter with my mouth, = he
said to the dentist.
The dentist made an examination
"You have bad wisdom TOOTH" he
said.

The expense was 80 cents.
When Mr. Spoonamore got home, he
found that his throat trouble was en-

But he still has his $40 hottie of med

really has organic throat trouble
