A "KNOCKER"
Found on Many Tables.

People will Slug themselves with cof-
fee and then hunt around for medicine to
cure them of the trouble coffee produces,
but they keep on drinking coffee and
making new diseases right along. That
Is, some people do. There are thoughtful
people, however, and their number is
growing greatly every month, who prefer
good, sturdy health to sickness, and they
leave off coffee because 1t Is a drug that
produces disease.
Many people have to learn that this Is
true by hard knocks, and that they get
the knocks all right II they stick to cof-
fee.
Mrs. Ida NJ. Nowyce of Anderson. S. c.,

had never heard of that horror to every
housekeeper, the uncanny insect. But in
spite of the neat little iron bedstead in
Bridget's room, a few wooden stats had
been found to be occupied by guests left
by a careless predecessor. The mistress
and Bridget went to work to get rid of
their unwelcome visitors, and the former
made her first acquaintance with them
and was much impressed. Bridget hated
all crawling things. Knowing this, the
small boy of the family had mind to
give her a surprise. He secured small

come until the following morning, when

There was heard a joyous cry preceded

Few songs of semi-religious character,
says the Montreal Star have ever
achieved such worldwide popularity as
1.-The Holy CITY" Yet perhaps not l per
cent. of the people who sing it or those
who enjoy hearing 1t sung know that it
was the voice of the famous Mrs. Flor
ence Maybrick that first uttered the sweet
sequence of sounds which go to make the
most popular song of to-day; that she 1t
was who first read them from the manu-
script copy of the composer, while he him
self accompanied her upon the piano.
The song was composed by Michael
Maybrick, a well-known English baritone
singer, who was brother to the Liverpool
merchant for whose murder Florence, his
American wife was sentenced to death
more than ten years ago, reprieved and
condemned to a life of prison labor.
Maybrick wrote over the nom de plume
Stephen Adams, and is the author of
many other widely popular songs. He
owned a yacht, on which he spent many
weeks of each year. and it was on board
this yacht that he composed THE Holy
City," and Mrs. Maybrick, who was sail
ing with him at the time, first gave voice
to its melodious strains.
During the trial of Mrs. Maybr1ck for
the murder of her husband Michael May
brick was on the stand more than half
the time, and 1t was mainly his testimony
which convicted her.

of her guests somewhat injudiciously

you not only that my language is musical,
but that it is peculiarly adapted to the
recitation of the highest class of verse"
She thought a minute, and added: II
shall not tell you the name or the nature
of the poem 1 am about to recite, but
shall leave it TO your penetration to de-
eide"
MmA Modjeska began, with all the elo-
cutionary art and grace which have given
her such worldwide reputation. When
she had finished the guests speculated as
to the nature of the poem. One thought
that 1t must be patriotic ode. Another
was inclined to believe that 1t was poem
Of martial endeavor. Still a third assert
ed that 1t might be a love song of the
more stirring type. All agreed that it was
heroic verse
The lady listened complacently to the
varying opinions and when the hast judg
ment had been rendered she said, with
little touch of malicious triumph in her
voice: The fact is my dear friends, we
are all wrong. l was wrong in preparing
you for a poem; you are wrong in accept
ing my word for it. You see that l know
the beauties and possibilities of my Ian

A dear little New Orleans woman, says
the Times Democrat of New Orlenas went
to hear the lectures of the visiting vitoso-
phist last week and learned that tea
spoonful of sand is the most effectual
cure for dyspepsia known. She is a faddy
creature and the reasons given by the
lecturer seemed perfectly plausible. she
was a sufferer from that malady and i'm
medlately took heaping spoonful of
sand, washing it down with four glasses
of lithia water. That seems to be the
most apparent benefit of the dose, for one
becomes thirsty and may take in guam
tity of water; and none of US drink
enough. Despite avfull feeling in the re-
gion of her craw the little faddist thinks
she feels wonderfully better and she Is
recommending the remedy to her friends
from the housetop. OF course the sand
must be very fine and have no sharp
points; it must be remembered that an
indiscriminate use of the mineral would
be dangerous as glass is made from it,
and the common variety might bring on
a case of peritonitis. A person has 20
