HIGH STRUNG AMERI'
CANS.
A Brooklyn Teacher Makes a Dis
cOVery.

cOVery.
I am a teacher in one of the city high
schools here and have what might be call
ed a typical American temperamentrthat
high strung, nervous make up which is
partly Unborn and partly due to the con-
slant demands for quick and concentrated
effort of our rapid modern life.
Such a temperament demands nourish-
ment and reserve force, rather than stimu-
lation and its sure reaction-exhaustion
Ny observation teaches that people with
such temperameuts are very seriously eff
fected by coffee. even in small quantities.
l had become gradually more and more ir-
ritable and extremely unhappy and mel
ancholy, while the flesh became thin and
flabby, with sallow bilious appearance.
Being of an analytical mind, l have OBJ
served these symptoms, not only in myself
but in other coffee users and during the
past few years have been casting about to
find a suitable beverage for breakfast In
place of coffee or tea. One day my wife
brought home a box of Postum Cereal
Food Coffee from the grocer's, and the re-
suit of the experiment was very satisfac-
tory-quite beyond our hopes. We discov-
cred that there are two ways to make
Postum, underboiled it is fiat and taste
less, but when properly boiled, it is per-
feet in its coffee taste, fully as pleasant,
but effects vastly different. Instead of in
creasng rritability. il alayed il. giving
that satisfied feeling which only comes
from food which digests and assimilates
at once. II is a very common occurrence
for visiting friends to use the Postum
right along the meals complimenting
the excellence of our coffee and not being
aware they are using Postum Food Coffee

for us and several of our friends. We use

An Englisbman Seeks Information.

"Returning to this country on a
steamer recently" says the Chicago
News, "an American found himself
besieged by young Englishman, who
was determined to find out as much
as possible about the New World be-
fore the steamer landed. He had
been warned to keep a sharp lookout
for hostile Indians, who sneaked about
the streets looking for a chance to
pounce upon and kill unsuspecting
foreigners, and then make their es-
cape by running around corner and
posing quietly before cigar store
until the crowd rushes on. He then
asked about crocodiles, and if they
could be found in large numbers. The
unsophisticated Britisher was solemn
ly assured that they were not so num-
erous in the Hudson River as they
were some time ago, and that the most
OF them are found at Niagara Falls,
where the water falls 175 feet. 1t is
a very interesting sight, he was told,
to stand on the high rocks above and
watch the powerful animals swim up
over the falls.

A Good Cleaning Oil.

An excellent cleaner and polisher for
furniture with very high finish Is
recommended by an experienced dealer
in rare woods. To one Tablespoonful
of linseed oil add an equal portion OF
turpentine, together with a piece OF
any pure soap the size OF a walnut
Pour this into vessel containing one
quart Of boiling water, and let the
whole boil for about 10 minutes, STIR
ring it occasionally, so that it may be
well mixed. This liquid can be used
either warm or cold, but experience
teaches that it Is more effective when
warm; it can be heated several times
before it will need renewing. Apply
with soft flannel cloth, we'll wrung
out, to small portion of the surface
to be cleaned After the dirt has been
well wiped off, take a fresh flannel
to polish with, and few minutes
vigorous rubbing will soon restore the
wood to its original brilliancy. Crude
oil Is the polisher used in most of the
furniture shops. But 1t is well to re-
member that in the stores there is
scarcely a day when each piece of fur
niture is not carefully wiped off with
a soft cloth, keeping the surfaces per-
fectly clean, so that the aid of the oil

cronstadt Blue and Automobile.


Cronstadt blue is one of the most
beautiful tones in which cloth dresses
are being made. 1t is the tint of the
sea when the sky is blue and the sun
brilliant. A sapphire sometimes
achieves this glorious color, but is
more often too sombre or too pale. A
ribbed cloth In cronstadt blue is
trimmed with bands of velvet in a
slightly deeper tone. The triple cape
is in velvet, and the high, faring COL
lar is guipure over cronstadt blue
satin, with deep hem of sable all
round. Periwinkle holds its own
among all the new shades. 1t suits
the fashionable hair, as no other color
could, and almost invariably one finds
that with marigold hair the floral
trimming of hat or toque is shaded
hydrangea, periwinkle, pale mauve
and softest rhododendron pink, deftly
shading into each other. Automobile
red is shown in many woolen goods,
and sometimes it is dotted over with
pea-spots, sometimes with irregular
squares in velvet of the same shade,
and occasionally the velvet pattern is
in black or brown on ground of the
automobile cloth.

The material is the heavy weight of
serge known as the storm serge, and
is very well sponged and pressed, so
that it cannot be injured by wind or
weather The smartest of these cos
tunes are made up with the tight-ft-
ting skirt with the seam in the back,
but are not exaggerated in style, hav-
ing some tulness put in at the back
The coat is either short basque coat
or an Eton jacket, fits closely to the
figure when it is fastened, and has
square revers, and collar that can be
either turned up or turned down, and
that is faced with dark blue silk. A
very odd and dainty touch is given to
the garment by inside revers of blue
velvet, trimmed with fascinating
braid of blue and silver. With this
costume is worn silk shirt waist of
very dark blue with polka dots of
white, or heliotrope satin with white
polka dots also. These costumes are
supposed to be worn on mild days
during the winter, and will undoubt-
edly be the smart thing for next spring.

AS to why Ponce de Leon gave the
name Florida to the territory now
known by that name, the Florida
Farmer and Fruit Grower quotes from
a book published in 1853: "Gave it the
name of Florida because it was first
seen in Easter, called Pasqua de flores
in the language of his country, as
Herrera alleges, because it was GOV.

in every possible manner. Those
made of French flannel seem to be the
most popular.
The flannel jacket calls for some
very complicated neck dressing,
creamy lace, chiffon, mousseline and
Liberty satin holding first favor among
fashions votaries.
The most up to date of all the fan
mel jackets this winter will be those OF
a creamy white, very fine French fan
mel, the quality which sells for 81 to
$1,50 yard. These fannels are sc
fine and soft as to resemble cashmere

Facts About the Twelfth Century.

The nineteenth century closes with
the year 1900. Immediately after mid
night, therefore, of Dec. 81, 1900, is
when the twentieth century begins. In
other words, it begins with the first
second of the first hour of the first day
Of January, 1901. The twentieth CEN
tury will open on Tuesday and closes
on Sunday. 1t will have the greatest
number Of leap years possible for a
century-twenty-four. The year 1904
will be the first one, then every fourth
year after that to and including the
year 1000. February will three times
have five Sundays-in 1920, 1948 and
1876 The twentieth century will con-
tain 36,525 days, which lacks but one
day of being exactly 5,21S weeks. The
middle day of the century will be Jan.
l, 1851. Several announcements are
made Of changes to be inaugurated
with the opening of the new century
The first of Importance is that Russia
will adopt the Gregorian calendar
This will be done by omitting thirteen
days, the amount of error that will
have accumulated after the close OF
February, 1900, The Russians will
then write Jan. l. 1901, instead OF
Dec. 10, 1900, or rather, instead of both
according to the dual system now in
vogue in that country and in Greece.
The other important announcement is
that 1t is not at all unlikely that the
astronomical day, which now begins at
noon of the civil days, will begin with
the civil day. at midnight The pres
ent method of having the astronomical
day to begin twelve hours after the
beginning of the civil day is apt to be
confusing. On the other hand, to have
the former begin at midnight, just
when astronomers are often busiest,
will be to them somewhat inconven-
tent:
