Miss Jennie Terry, of Duluth, Mimi, al

suddenly stricken down with appendi-

danger. He telegraphed to his fiance
to come to see him, and possibly bid
him good-by She hurried to his bed

would not take place for half an hour
she insisted on being married to him.

Coffee Drinkers Require Proof.

When persons insist on taking some
kind of food or drink that causes dis
ease it is not fair to blame a Doctor
for not curing them.
Coffee keeps thousands of people sick
in spite of all the Doctor can do ia
cure them. There is but one way to
get we'll. That is to quit coffee alb
solutely: a great help will be to shift
over to Postum Food Coffee.

Artificial Calves.
From the london Truth

From the London Truth.
I see it announced in the papers that
the French manufacturers of sham
calves for human legs are receiving
large orders from England in view of
the coronation. Probably this is not
correct, for the number of the breeched
will be limited, and there are many ex-
cellent manufacturers of aids to SYM
metrical legs in London. l once knew
one of them. His main customers were
ladies who have to show their legs at
theaters. His manner of procedure
was this: He put on the legs to be
treated a set oftights. Then he marked
on the outside the changes needed.
These were woven into the stuff itself,
and thus defied detection. Calves. he
told me. are often in the wrong place.
Either they are too high or too low.
1 also learned from this specialist that
a common failing is thick ankles, and
that this is remedied by increasing the
girth of the leg above the ankle.
But theatrical ladies were by no
means this artists only customers.
Among them were many fine ladies
and fine gentlemen. why should a
fine lady want to have her legs put
right, for she does not show them?"
1 asked. well. she does sometimes"
he replied. "In getting out of her car
riage her petticoats get caught up
sometimes. When have improved her
legs, the petticoats are caught up al
most always" The fine gentlemen Or
dered tights for their arms and busts.
Thus a poor, weedy-looking creature
appeared, when walking in the park, a
well set-up man with an expansive
breast and arms that were not spin
dies. / proposed to my friend to take
me as his partner. but he declined. 1t
was not so much that 1 wanted the
money as that / thought that it would
amuse me to know the names of the
customers among smart people, and
this he never would tell me.

In nearly every city in China women
are TO be found sitting in the streets
busily plying their trade as members of
clothing. Their knowledge OF needle
craft is generally limited to what is
called running" aud therefore they
are not much patronized by English or
American travellers. They are, how
ever. never without patrons among Chi
nese tradesmen, who are often natives
OF other districts and have no one else
in the city to mend n rent for them,
their wives and children being left at
