u. s. Consul Pike of Port Louis,
Mauritius, has written a charming
book upon this gem of the ocean, the
home of Paul and Virginia.
Col. Pike whose New York address
is 43 Exchange Place, had n curious
experience with coffee and the bever-
age almost destroyed his eyesight.
He says speaking of coffee, my
first warning against it's use was in
somnia followed by depression. and
Gespondency The nervous system was
in such n condition that could not at
tend to business, and to my distress
discovered that my eyesight was be-
coming more and more imperfect
every day From my knowledge of
the symptoms of coffee poisoning
concluded to leave off the coffee and
take M Postum Food Coffee in its
place.
The results were astonishing. Gradu-
any my eyesight recovered. and the
nervous condition and depressed feel
ing disappeared. l have now been us
ing Postum in place of coffee for sew
eral years and am in perfect health.

To the Members of Traokmens' Union:
We. the undersigned members of the

and Il. of l.. f.. was going to appoint
a committee, Sunday, and as members
Of the above orders, we will say that

for Mr.. X. p. Neil and other leaders Of
Trackmen's Association to confer with
the division committee of the q. X. G..
division and y. of l.. T.. and find out If
a committee has been appointed before
making such statement.
The article also states that men are
all out and standing firm. | beg to
differ; as we pass over the road be
tween Bangor and Portland We find
that nearly, if not all, sections cover
ed by full set of men. many that did
not go out and many of the old and
better class of men returning, and by
asking any member of the .. II. G.. or
b. Of l.. F.. you viii get a truthful
answer to any question you may ask
them in regard to sections being Gov
cred. And they will glad tell You who
covers each and every section on their
division.
My friends. don't be afraid to ask
questions of men that you have known
for years that have no axes to grind.
My friends, let us say before closing.
that the Il. of l.. f. and the q. II. G.
do all their business on the square.

Something Appalling.

Huntington. w. Va, June 24-The
tremendous high water in the Tug
river caused by cloudburst along the
is a thing unprecedented in the history
of that section, and the destruction of
property along the Elkhorn and Dry
Fork and down the Tug river to it's
mouth is something appalling.
The clOudburst occurred near the
headwaters of the E,lkhorn and Dry
Fork rivers, whose confluence near
Welch form the main Tug river.
Though both of these streams were
swollen far beyond any proportions
which they We're ever before known to
assume. the former one. which is ira

road for n distance of about 90 miles,

coal regions of the ElkhOrn and the
numerous big lumber plants lower
down. box cars were swept away in
the flood and are lodged along the
and in few instances We're carried
down the Tug river, even as far as be-
low the falls. Many of these cars We're
loaded ready to be moved. and with
their cargo they are practically total
loss. All the lumber plants are great
losers to an extent that many who
have witnessed the passing wreckage
conservatively estimate at s1.5O0OO0.
At JAEGER station the river rose to the
immense height of 81 feet inside of 3
hours from the time it began. deluging
every house in the little town and
washing away many buildings. and. in
some instances, dwellings We're swept
from their foundations but lodged
against large and more substantial
ones. and We're thus saved from de-
struction.
Higher up the river the destruction is
said to be even greater. At Vivian
