ANY ONE CAN
Prove the Value of Scientific Food.

Prove the Value of Scientific Food.
 A good straightforward test of food is worth much to humanity. The follow ing is interesting:
 MT. T. K. Durboraw of Greenfield, O., says: After 3 months sickness with grip I found had lost AZ pounds, with little appetite and almost no digestion. Wife finally put me on Grape-Nuts and actually lived on this food, taking it three times day, and a cup of Postum Coffee at each meal for about four weeks.
 When I began I was so nervous and weak that my strength was exhausted even hy dressing, and of course, I was unable to do the work loaded upon my desk but I hammered away without any tonice or medicines, only my diet of Crane Nuts and Postum three times a day. I found at the end of g days my nervousness gone, strength greatly in- creased and that l had gained 16 pounds.
 Finally, after getting back to good health again T of course took on differ ent kinds of food, and, as change, be- gan using-for breakfast. After while some peculiar spells began to ap- near in the morning with deathly sick ness and nervous lassitude. l took treatment for biliousness but that did not avail.
 About month ago I gave up the - for breakfast and took on Grape-Nuts again. These morning attacks left me entirely in a day or two and feel that I have had sufficient evidence of the scientific value of Grape-Nuts as 6. vitalizing, perfect food, that does not require the heavy work of the stomach occasioned by the use of starchy foods we use so much nowadays"

Sleeping His Life AWAY.

There goes the happiest man in the
borough" said Norrstown barber,
pointing out of the window to little,
elderly man. dressed gayly, who walked
with his eyes fixed complacently on his
new but old fashioned yellow shoes.
''That fellow" continued the barber,
became rich suddenly, after life of
hard, uninterrupted work. Now that he
has money, he knows of nothing better
to do than sleep. He sleeps all the time,
and it is running his health. In the morn
ing he comes down to breakfast at his
boarding house, messes with the food a
little, and then, as soon as his bed is
made, skates up stairs for snooze. At
dinner he tries hard to eat, but his appe-
tite is bad. He plays with his food and
blows to the other boarders about the
fine maps he takes while they are work
ing hard. and if they pretend to be en-
vious he shows that he is delighted. OF
course he sleeps all the afternoon, but at
night although he denies this, it is well
known that he rests poorly.
81 suppose it is better if you are rich
to ruin your health by sleeping too much
rather than by drinking or dissipating in
the other ways, but just to sleep seems
to me foolish thing to do, because when
you sleep all the time you might as well
be dead. Philadelphia Record.

Gordon's Way.

Lord Wolseley used to tell of three
Subalterns who were in the trenches
before the Redan = Wolseley, Gerald
Graham and Charles Gordon. When
they were relieved at night, the gigan-
tic Graham, the perfect type of the
sworderc used to pick himself out of
the trench and walk straight to his
tent, careless of the fact that he was
making himself a cock shot for the
Russian marksmen. Evening after
evening the Russian soldiers used to
gather more and more thickly, but
Graham would take no advice He
wasn't going "to bother about those
fellows"
Garnet Wolseley, with ambition even
then to be one day the commander in
chief, used to crawl through the very
slush of the trench on his hands and
knees for hundred yards or so before
he got up and made bee line for his
tent. He did not mean to be shot if he
could help it.
''And Gordon" the listener asked.
"Oh, Gordon" said Wolseley; Gordon
was funny. Sometimes he would crawl
with me and the very next evening get
up, hook arms with Graham and go off
talking eagerly. "-Candid Friend.

AN ANaCDOTE OF WHITMAN.

him." When asked where he replied:

new edition. There was scarcity Of
chairs, and Whitman, rising to receive
us, offered me his, but we all remained
standing except the sickly looking lad,
who kept his seat until Whitman turn
ed to him and said: You'd better go
now. I'll see you this evening" After
he had gone out Whitman explained:
"He is a friendless boy found at my
boarding place. | am trying to cheer
him up and strengthen him with my
magnetism" practical but curiously
prosaic illustration of these powerful
lines in the early poems:

stewed Lettuce,

Stewed lettuce is rather an original
notion which some one may want to
try. Trim off the outside leaves and
blanch the lettuce thoroughly in sailed
boiling water; then drain and rinse
well in cold water, dry carefully in a
clean cloth and mince it. Now place
the lettuce in pan with few spoon
fuls Of new milk and let it cook very
gently, adding as it dries about a gill
of cream or new milk lightly thickened
with arrowroot and let it all cook very
slowly till perfectly tender; then add
small pat of butter, dust of white
pepper, grain of sugar and spoonful
or so Of thick cream and serve very
hot with garnish of fried croutons.

A Bad Drink.

"The foreigners up in the coal re-
gions," says writer in the Philadel-
phia Record, drink polinsky, and
that's why so many stories of horrible
crimes come from there. Polinsky is
at the bottom of every riot and much
murder. 1t is simply mixture of beer
and bad whisky, usually blended in a
washtub and seasoned with spices. At
every wedding, christening. wake or
other gathering of social nature there
is always tub of polinsky. In one
hour all hands will be drunk, in two
hours there will be free fight, and,
unless the police interfere, in three
hours there will be murder. In the
more thickly populated communities
the police try to break up these polinsky
parties in their incipient stages, but
they don't always succeed"

Tennyson and n Critic.

Tennyson was exceedingly chary
throughout his life of replying to criti-
cism or clearing up obscurities in his
works, but letter of the poet shows that
on occasion he departed from his custom
airy rule. The letter in question was ad-
dressed to Mr.. Edward Campbell Tainsh
In acknowledgment of copy of his
"Study of the Works of Alfred Tenny-
son." the following lines having been
cited by Mr.. Tainsh as an instance of
mechanical supernaturalism:"
Though family merrily, far and far away,
He heard the pealing of his parish BELLS
Tennyson replied: "a friend of mine told
me that he had heard his own parish bells
In the midst of an eastern desert-not
knowing at the time it was Sunday. He ac-
counted for it to me by stating that there
was a ringing in his ears which his old
associations nodded unconsciously into
the sound he heard. There is nothing
really supernatural, mechanically or 9TH
erwise, in e. AS hearing bells, though
the author most probably did intend the
passage to tell upon the reader mystic
ally"

however, was far greater than the

liable in horses of every description.
The head should be proportionately
large and well set on. The lower jaw
bones should be sufficiently far apart
to enable the head to form an angle
with the neck, which gives it free mo-
ton and graceful carriage and pre-
vents it bearing too heavily on the
hand The eye should be large, little
prominent and the eyelid fine and thin.
The ear should be small and erect and
quick in motion. The lop ear indicates
dullness and stubbornness. When too
far back, there is disposition to mis-

Janet's Way of Growing Young.

AS a matter of fact Janet was born
exactly two years before her brother
Fred; therefore in the natural course
of things when he was ten she was
twelve and gloried in it. When Fred
was known to be fourteen, she still
confessed to sixteen. When Fred
boosted eighteen years, she timidly ac-
knowledged herself just over nineteen.
When Fred came home from college
and had party in honor of his twen-
ty-first birthday, Janet said to her
friends: What a boyish fellow Fred
is Who would think he is only year
younger than IW When Fred declared
himself twenty-five and old enough to
get married, Janet said to a gentleman
friend: "Do you know, | feel very
Jealous of Fred getting married But
then, suppose twins always are more
attached to one another" And two
years later at Fred's wedding she said
with girlish shipper to the guests:
"Dear old Fred! To see him married
today, and to think when he was only
five years old they brought him to see
me, his baby sister! l wonder if he
thinks of it now?"

won an immortal reputation owing to

with rudder, sails, mast and all other
necessary appurtenances. Moreover,
