Wounded by Spear Thrust.

washington, Nov. 14-Admiral Van
Reypan. surgeon general of the navy
has received a report concerning the
wounding of Captain Myers, the rank
ing marine officer at Pelxin. The wound
proves to have been most novel, being
made by a Chinese spear and is one OF
the few wounds from such weapon that
American surgeons have been called up
on to treat. 1t also evidences the close
quarters at which the American com
mander at Pekin was engaged with the
Chinese speaImen. The wound had
healed to some extent and Capt Myers
is convalescent, although it has been
deemed advisable to remove him to the
naval hospital at Yokohama

+" CHILDREN AND FOOLS"
Judge of a Thing Half Done"

This is particularly applicable in cases
where persons seriously troubled from
the effects of coffee drinking and who
take up Postum Food Coffee in its place,
attempt to make the new beverage with
q little hot water and two or three min
utes' boiling. That sort of a lick and a,
promise produces a drink that is si1np-
ly exasperating. 1t is fiat and tasteless.
Postum full fifteen minutes after the
actual bubbling and boiling begins, will
have a beverage that is something.
There is point between twelve and
fifteen minutes Of boiling, when the
character of Postum is changed, the
food value is extracted and the delicious
favor which much resembles the Tnilder
and more expensive grades of Java
A lady in Salem, Ore says: when
ever I drank coffee at night, I always

state that my dyspepsia took the form of
spasms and heart weakness
Il suffered intensely, and when a
physician was called. he inquired,
among other things, if I drank coffee
and insisted that I leave it off. I did
so and took up tea which 7 found al
most as bad. Finally husband brought
home a package of Postum. and we tried
it (strictly according to directions, for
we believe in the adage that Children
and fools judge Of a thing half done ,
The new coffee was delicious and
from that day until now (Which is a
Year, it has been our only drink at
meals. My dyspepsia, spasms, etc, are
a thing of the past My husband had
suffered some years with bilious head
aches and indigestion, but during the

has entirely recovered his health and
gained much in weight. Our friends

BRITISH LION RoARs.

LONDON. Dec. 6-Lord Salisbury,
speaking In the house OF lords today,
said that the Transvaalers. Free Stat
ers and world understood that there
could be no deviation from the policy
Of the government already outlined.
Anything resembling independence new
er could be granted.
The war must proceed to the inevita-
bic issue. England must let it be felt
that no one by the issue OF an insolent
aud audaclous ultimatum could force
the British government TO humble it.
self and abandon its rights. He could
never allow that a shred Of indeDsnd-
ence could be left.
How soon the Free staters and
Transyaalers would have anything like
self-government depended on them
selves II might be years. and it might
be generations.
The feature OF the session was Lord
Rosebery's spirited attack on the gov
ernment. He was dnsparing in his
criticism of the dissolution of parlia-
ment. the conduct OF the war. the
policy Of the government toward China
and everything handled by the eabi-
net.

The English press is displaying signs
OF increased excitement over General
Mercier's speech representing a French
invasion. and is thereby strengthening
his hand and enabling him to regain
the prestige lost during the Dreyfus
trial The journals can well afford
to laugh at It. instead Of taking Il
seriously, since the British government
has not shown uneasinesS over the var
ious missions Of French officers in Eng
lish ports during the last year.
Officers OF the French army and navy
are constantly talking about the pos
sibility Of effeeting landing in Eng
land. It is their most interesting tech
nical problem. They have precise in
formation about the defenses OF Eng
lish towns like Dover. Portsmouth and
Plymouth. also about the military r.
sources OF ports like Liverpool. French
officers were secretly occupied for weeks
last spring in preparing detailed draw
ings Of Notifications Of Dover and the
OF Liverpool and other ports
and these plans were filed with the
proper departments in Parts. The Brit
ish government was aware Of these
but considered it a mat
ter OF no Importance.
