Falcon Islands Sudden End.

The latest budget of news from the
native kingdom of Tonga mentions the
disappearance of an Island in the Pacific
under circumstances that seem to lend
some color to popular superstition. On
October 10, 1885, the inhabitants of the
Tongan capital witnessed one of the
grandest natural pyrotechnical displays
of the century. Some thirty miles to the
northwest a submarine volcano suddenly
started operations, throwing columns of
steam and feathers of fire to an estimated
height of 1900 feet. When the perform
enough to approach it was found that a
new island, 10 six miles lies long two miles

settle on 1t. People who promenaded its
surface had a sensation akin to walking

Swarzschild he packed his baggage and

carefully, and for a time 1t was un-
known to Mrs. Swarzschild and her at
torneys, J. J. Greeley and ]. D. Sullivan
The latter trio were surprised early last
week when they were presented with
summons and copy of a complaint filed
by Ferdinand Swarzschild in the latter
part of last month in the District Court
Of North Dakota, charging Mrs. Swarzs-
child with extreme cruelty and desertion,
and praying for separation on those
grounds. AS Mrs. Swarzschilds suit is
still pending in the local courts a pretty
legal puzzle will probably result from
Swarzschild's efforts to get a divorce
from his wife and at the same time es-
cape paying alimony and counsel fees

this city and In Fruitvale, where they
made their home shortly after they were
married, some four years ago Ferdinand
wealthy, and to be the holder of vast In
terests in the Tesla coal mines.
The couples troubles began early in
their married life, but they succeeded in
hiding their sorrows from the social cir
cles In which they moved. The first open
outbreak of hostilities occurred on June
10, when SwarZschild, so his wife alleges,
refused to give her sufficient money to
buy wearing apparel, which she claimed
she was sadly In need of. Burning words
were exchanged by husband and WIFE and
Mrs. Swarzschild asserts that at the cli-
max of the quarrel her husband struck
her. She left the house, and came to this
city and stayed for a time with her
mother.

Is a parallel to the man who uses cof-
fee when in training.
The great trainers insist that their
men leave off coffee.
Why?
Experience teaches that the hearts
action is weakened by coffee. even
when taken in small doses, and short
ness of wind is due to a failure of the
heart to furnish fresh blood to the
lungs fast enough.
Naturally the man who refuses to
throw off habits of this kind that Grip
ple his powers must stand aside for
the nervy ones that strip off the i'm
nediments and train to win.
why do trainers advise their men to
use Postum Cereal Food Coffee?
because, while it looks like rich,
black Mocha and creams to the rich
golden brown of Java, it contains none
of the alkaloids of coffee; on the other
hand. 1t is made of the selected parts
of cereals (grains) that yield the albu-
men and phosphates needed by the hu-
man body to replenish the gray matter
