THE LIFE OF
The Man Behind the Desk.

Coffee soaked me hard for about
three years and I was troubled with in
digestion, headaches and drowsiness;
had no appetite and could not sleep and
l was steadily losing flesh all the time.
Il had spent a small fortune on med-
cine and doctors bills; l consulted sew
eral doctors. one told me that I had
liver trouble, another told me that
had kidney trouble. others prescribed
remedies for numerous complaints, but
none helped me and I finally looked
upon my bad stomach as a part of my
miserable existence, giving UP all hope
of ever being myself again.
Il knew that the cause of it was all
due to office work. which precluded suf-
ficient bodily exercise and the eating
of non-nourishing and non-digestive
food, and the drinking of tea and cof-
fee. had to quit my work as I lost my
mental and physical strength.
"A friend of mine, who weighs about
$40 pounds and who looks the picture of
health advised me to use Grape-Nuts as
food and drink Postum Cereal Coffee.
He said that his perfect health was due
to the use of these two pure cereals; he
! said that they would build up the dell
cate cells Of the brain and body and re-
store me to health.
L acted on his advice and have no
cause to regretsit. I have now been
using Grape Nuts and Postum Coffee
for some time and am in perfect health
and weigh 10 pounds more than I ever
did.
Grape Nuts Food is the erystallized
essence of all cereals. I eat it four
times a day, prepared with cream, and
also by pouring some of it out of the
box into my hand and then eating it.

How she Made a PROFIT.

In Paris gentleman who is very
fond of fine paintings bought for 10000
francs work entitled 1.-THE Bride OF
Abydos" and was congratulating him.
self on becoming it's possessor when he
suddenly remembered that his wife
disliked very much to see him spend
his money in this manner.
"How can I avoid a scene?' he asked
himself IF say that the painting
cost 1900 "'".pcs. iH're will be an
awful time and SO IL. litter say 1000.
No; I'll say 4,000."
By this time he hao reached home,
and when he saw his wife he told her
unblushingly that he had just secured
q beautiful work Of art for the nomi-
nal sum of 5000 francs. At this good
news she seemed more disconnected
than pleased, but said nothing, and
the painting was hung up.
Next day the gentleman was obliged
to go to the south Of France, and when
he returned after a weeks absence
his wife met him with beaming coun-
tenance and said: 1--WE done good
stroke of business while you were
away. You know that painting you
bought for 5000 francs? Well, l sold
it yesterday for 4.500. clear profit of

African Snakes.

The African cobra is regarded some
what reverently by the natives of that
country, who once year kill a cobra
de capello and hang it's skin to the
branch of tree, tail downward. Then
all the children born during the last
year, are brought out and made to
touch the skin. This the parents think
puts them under the serpent's protec-
ton. The cobra de capello divides with
the horned viper of Africa the ques-
tionable honor of being the worm Of
the Nile" to whose venomous tooth
CIeopatra's death was due.
The kaffirs use the venom Of this
snakes cousin, the puff adder, to poi
son their arrows, and when they have
any small quantity left they swallow
it, having a theory that it will protect
them from the bad effects Of future
bites. The Snake tribe Of the Punjab
say that the bites Of snakes do not hurt
them, and if they find dead serpent
they dress it in clothes and give it a
superb funeral.

Hard Lessons In Good Manners.

School chaff is wholesome in most
cases, but it may cramp what should
not be cramped. AS to the chaff which
a man gives and gets at a university,
however, we do not think there can be
two opinions. 1t must do good, and it
has not the opportunity of doing harm.
Only those receive it who lay them
selves open to receive it. The quiet
man who wishes to read or to think
apart need hardly ever come into con-
tact with his fellows unless he so
chooses. The staggering or bump
tious man, the opinionated man, the
offensive man-these are certain to be
chaffed, and the chaff usually goes
home; not at once perhaps, but it usu-
ally gets there in the end with salts.
factory consequences. The personal
remark may be rude, but rudeness is
often very salutary weapon. 1t is
certainly one Of the most valuable in
struments Of English education. In
deed it may seem a strange thing to
say, but it is surely true that contin-
ued experience of calculated, formu
larized and well intentioned rudeness
teaches people to be polite.-London

Continue doing this for fifteen or

water run out and plug the ear with

he visited the different villages. On
one occasion he came to bridge where
a toll was levied.
He found to his disappointment
had not enough money to pay it.
A bright thought struck him. He un,
harnessed the donkey and put it into
the cart. Then, getting between the
shafts himself, he pulled the cart with
the donkey standing in it on to the
bridge.
In due course he was hailed by the
toll collector.
"Hey, manv' cried the latter
"Whaur's your toll?"
