 The brain is composed of thousands of little cells and these contain vital substance which is used up during ac- tive work and can only be relpaced by the right kind of food and drink
 With many people, coffee drinking excites the brain and prevents it from getting the necessary rest, and breaks down and destroys the cells and the soft, gray matter therein, nor does cof- fee supply the food to replace these cells and this naturally leads to mental exhaustion, and nervous prostration.
 Some two years ago. I was laid low with a very severe attack of ner- vous prostration, and had to resign my position with Q large mercantile house of this city" writes a gentleman from Brooklyn.
 "The doctors said my complaint was due to over-work, long hours and in- sufficient exercise, and recommended a trip to Europe. More dead than alive, I followed their advice, and went to England for a short visit, but came back very little improved, and unable to work, sick and disheartened.
 "On my return, my wife and I went to boarding and a gentleman living in the house told me of the beneficial re- suits he had experienced by leaving off coffee and using POstum Food Coffee
 "I at once stopped drinking tea or coffee and used Postum, drinking it three times a day, and in a short time found a decided improvement in my condition, and now, I am glad to say, am following my profession again. do not feel the slightest effects of my old complaint, and I am confident that I owe my present good health to the use of Postum.

INC Enemies Of wiId sheen.

Wild sheep depend for greatest pro-
lection on their climbing capabilities.
They travel where no man can follow,
and often in climbing use their knees
instead OF their fore hoofs. Their first
instinct at the approach of an enemy
is to start for the mountain top, aiming
if possible to get above and keep above
the enemy.
Wolves, wolverines and eagles are
their most common enemies, and the
lambs suffer extensively from these.
Wolves are capable of taking down
grown animals, but in summer hunger
seldom induces them to make the
struggle, and in winter they prefer
lower attitudes. There are many stories
told OF the lordly ram doing battle
with wolves, which are on a par with
the story Of loaping from dizzy heights
Tho old rams are cunning, and in this
lies their greatest safety. They arc
perfectly at home on rocky ledgcs,
where the wolf is not, and If they can
gain such n position they win, with
one charge, hurl the wolf to the rocks
below.-A. j. Stone in Outing.

Slam Million priests

According to a lecture on Siam deliv-
cred recently in London by John Bart
lett, that country has more than its
share of priests. The population Of
Siam, he said, amounted to about
GOO0O00, AMI a curious feature was
the large preponderancc of Chinese,
more especially in Bangkok The Chi
nese practically controlled all the trade
and commerce Of the place. There
were hardly any Siamese merchants.
One million Of the people were in the
priesthood. He had travelled up river
through the main territory of Siam for
a distance Of $50 miles, and during the
Journey it had been absolutely lmpos-
sible to get out Of sight Of n temple.
In each temple there were from 10 to
800 priests. supported entirely by the
people. OF the 100000 priests only
100000 were actively engaged. The re-
naming 100000 were passing through
the priesthood.

bar of Delaware by his successful con.
duct Of what every well known lawyer
In the little State had looked upon al
a hopeless case for the defense
A farmer had taken q load of hi
products to Wilmington. and Will
there got drunk. When he retune,
home he was frenzied with liquor an,
while I'M this state killed his wife. III
was caught red-handed, and no on
dreamed that any defense for the dee
could or would be put up.
But when the farmers trial was call
led George Gray came forward as law
yer for the defendant. and placed wit
ness after witness on the stand to prov
that his client was drunk when he kill
ed his wife; that no one had eve
heard him make threats against hel
and that. so far as they knew, the cou
pie had lived peacefully together.
Then Mr. Cray made a deductio
that startled the older lawyers. Tn
defendant was crazy when he killed hi
wife, and the drink had made hil
crazy.
Because he was crazy at the time, h
was incapable of premeditating th
deed which was not and could n,
have been the result OF any i'll feelin
between the couple. because they ha
lived happily together Therefore, th
defendant had killed his wife while nc
in the possession of his reason, AM
therefore, was not guilty of murder.
The jury held the young lawyer
logic to be- good law and acquitted th
/ defendant
After the trial Lawyer Gray did nC
, have to wait long between clients. an
he at once became a leading membl
