my husband has been unable to drink

flavor, we have been highly pleased with
it. 1t is one of the finest things for nursing
mothers that 1 have ever seen. 1t keeps
up the mothers strength and increases
the supply of nourishment for the child If
partaken of freely. I drank 1t between
meals instead of water and found 1t most
beneficial.

give him Postum freely and you would be
surprised at the change. When any person
remarks about the great Improvement,
we never fail to tell them that we attrib-
ute his gain in strength and general
health to the free use of Postum Food
Coffee, and this has led many friends to
use it for themselves and children.
81 have always cautioned friends to
whom have spoken about Postum, to fol-
low directions in making it, for unless it
is boiled Is or 20 minutes, it is quite taste
less. On the other hand, when properly
made, 1t is very delicious, want to thank
you for the benefits we have derived from

EXPLOSION AT THE "7Oo."
GEORGE ANDERSON, OF DOUGLAS CITY, IN
 STANTLY KILLED.

About half past ten o'clock this morning Geo. Anderson, an employe at the "70O' mine, left his fellow workmen and went to the magazine to secure powder for the holes they had been drilling. After he had been gone for some time a terrific explosion shook the mine, and the miners were pros- trated by the concussion.
 They were brought to the surface and their injuries were found to consist of a few cuts about the head and face. There were four men working togeth- CT in this part of the mine. Three of them are safe and sound with the ex- ception of the injuries mentioned above. At this writing the workmen have been unable to reach the scene of the explosion on account of the dense powder smoke. One man, when within 200 feet of the location of the magazine, was so overcome with the smoke and gas that he was carried to the surface in an unconscious condition.
 Foreman Jay is doing everything pos sible to reach this part of the mine, but he has DO hopes of finding Anderson alive.
 The only plausible theory of the cause of the explosion is that the powder ignited from the candle carried by Anderson. There were about four boxes of powder in the magazine.

Voices of the Breeze.

had toiled since morn up the mountain side Till the lofty summit was mine; And breathless and weary, I lay me down Meath the shade of a lofty pine. Like a draught of wine drank the breeze Coming up from the hazy West: And barred my brow to its soft caress. As to her love the best Down in the valley. eerie and dim Were the glades and the forests then: And somehow thought had left the world And did not belong to men, For the zephyr that wandered across the hills Was lettering in the tree; And singing a song to the waving boughs Of its careless life and free: Of its home far over the purple cliffs Lying low in Occident: of blue waves breaking on shell-strewn shores, As the summers came and went. I heard 1t murmering overhead.- Now loud like the oceans roar Now soft and low a summer sea, Or like surf on distant shore heard it telling of coral isles; of caves where the sea-weed grew; Of palm trees crowning a snow white beach And shading some shipwrecked crew. Of fragrant flowers and golden fruit In the fair Pacific Isles. Of happy. idle. Halcyon days Mid beauty and love and smiles. And my boyhood's days came back to me With the sound of the ocean waves. And thoughts of the past. that had long been
 dead.
 Arose from forgotten graves A wizards spell was on me. I think; And cried to the signing breeze aaohi zephyr that fans with downy wings The shores of those n-kissed seas" '.I would fly with thee to thine ocean home To seek for the joys lack-"- But the breeze had passed. and me-thought
 heard
 This answer come floating back. ''To mortAis the distance is fairer sfll, Whatever their lot may be; On ocean they pine for the mountain air: In the mountains they pine for the sea-

Services at the Grand Canyon.

One of the most ideal spots in the universe at which to bow the head and bend the knee in rever- ence to the Creator of All is at the Grand Canyon of Arizona Here one feels his insignificance and utter nothingness when he glances around at the works of his Maker and realizes what an infinitesimal part he plays in the great drama.
 On last Sunday divine services were held at the Bright Angel ho- tel, on the very brink of the great gorge, and a more fitting place it would be hard to find.
 Rev. Reese F. Alsop, rector of St. Ann's church, Brooklyn, who was on his way to the general conven- ton of the Episcopal church, at San Francisco, as deputy from the diocese of Long Island, being pres ent at the hotel, it took but a few minutes to organize congregation IOll dlnOllk lllc lOuIlclc dIlu TcSl- dents Rev. Alsop made an elegant address to the memory of our mar tyred president, and those present, assisted by Miss Harriet Wells as musician, joined in singing the songs now famous as those among our dead presidents favorites: Jesus Loves Me-" "Lead, Kindly Light" and Nearer, My God, to Thee"
 All were greatly Impfessed by the services and at the close a movement was started to secure for the hotel a number of song books, that future parties may be able to praise, in like manner, by song, the Great Ruler.
 Among those present, besides Mir Buggeln's family and a num- Der of tourists, were MT. and Mrs. Geo. Hammond, of Flagstaff; Mrs. F. R. Nellis and Rube Adams, of shis city, and Miss Harriet Wells, ,pf Los Angeles.

Less than full car lots of cards are
sh pped through the post office at Pied
mont, and all are registered. This is
also the case with shipments for the
insular possessions The full car lots
are shipped to the larger post Offices
and to the subagences previously mem
toned, 100000 cards to the car, and
they are valued at $4,000 per car.
Every car is sealed with special seal
by Inspector Shook. The paper from
which the cards are manufactured must
contain 90 per cent. of sulDhite spruce
fiber, ~ per cent. of soda chemical pop
lar bleached and 9 per cent of English
clay; and all must be clean and free
from imperfections, calendered to a uni
form thickness and weight, finished on
both sides, suitable for writing on with
ink and pencil, and uniform buff The
tensile strength is also tested and the
cards are finished in all other respects
up to the government standard. A
water finish to the stock used in the
manufacture of postal cards is not per-
mtted. The quality of ink and its
color (black) must also be up to the
government standard.

! So it was that Della Post went into
the presence of the dying girl without
knowing that she had tripped on the
cellar stairs with a lighted lamp in
her hand and that she was burned be,
yond recognition.
1t was an awful sight that the mex
perienced girl saw when she entered
the garret where the drudge was per-
mltted to sleep. There were good
rooms in the house; but although the
innkeeper's wife had no wish to be
unkind to the injured girl, it had not
occurred to her to have her carried in
to one Of them
"Oh, Homer" exclaimed the minis
ters wife, clinging in desperation to
the mans strong arm.
Then there came a moaning cry from
the shapeless figure upon the bed:
Bring Mrs. Post. Oh, bring my
teacher. l love her So"
Without another moments hesita-
tion Della went forward and gathered
the poor disfgured head in her hands.
She had shrunk from touching Katie's
hand before; now she stopped and
kissed the bit of forehead which was
not covered with bandages
Il am here, Katie, and l am going
to stay with you," she said.
In spite of her husbands protest,
Della remained in that dimly lighted
room all night. The pain which poor
Katie suffered was indescribable, and
her means were SO piteous that Mrs.
Ryan retired to the kitchen, where
she could not hear them, leaving the
minister's wife alone
Mr. Post waited down stairs, and
his brave wife sat by the sick girls
bedside, holding one bandaged hand
in hers, while she murmured comfort
ing words or sang in a low, sweet
voice. Her husband heard 1t in the
middle of the night and thanked God
He had given him such a wife.
1t was not until the next evening
that Katies weary feet slipped over
the brink Of time into eternity. AS
her sufferings grew worse, she clung
more tightly to the soft white hand
and listened to the loving words which
the minister's wife spoke. Mr.. Post
hardly recognized Della in this wom-
an whose tender ministries helped the
wounded, stricken, homely girl to die
in peace.
Mrs. Mcpherson and some other Ia
dies of the church came in during the
next day, and they were amazed at the
bearing Of the woman whom they had
criticized for having four silk dresses
and sealskin cloak. These things
seemed SO insignificant in this cham

An Idea of Sibevja's Size,

In discussing Siberia, statements OF
dimension and distance confuse and be-
wilder rather than enlighten. 1t is of
Snail advantage to dwell upon its area
OF over 100000 square miles. If the
forty-fve states which compose the
American Union were taken up and
planted bodily in the midst of Siberia
they would be enclosed in every direc-
ton by wide border of land. In this
border territory all the countries of
Europe except Russia could likewise
be planted bodily, and there would re-
main still unoccupied 10000 square
miles, an area twice the size of imperial
