AND so
She Found How the Coffee Habit Could
Be Easily Left OFF.
AND so

My husband had coffee dyspepsia
for q number of years" writes a lady
from Dundee. N. Y. Coffee did not
agree with him as it soured on his
stomach. and he decided to stop it.
We felt the need of some warm
drink and tried several things but were
soon tired of them. Finally friend
told me of the good Postum Food
Coffee had done her family, and I or
dered a package from the grocer
We have used it for three years
with splendid result. 1t agrees per-
fectly with his stomach and dyspepsia
has entirely left him. / find in talking
to people who have used Postum and
not liked it that the reason is that they
do not let it boil long enough. When
prepared according ito directions, it
makes beautiful, clear, golden brown
beverage like the highest grade of
coffee in color
1--WE let the children have Postum
every morning and it agrees with them
nicely and they thrive on it. I am sure
that if everyone using coffee would
change to Postum that the percentage
of invalids would be far less than it is

1t is easy to change from coffee to
Postum and the benefit is sure and
quick. for Postum is composed only Of
the grains intended by Nature for
mans subsistence and il goes to work
in Natures way TO correct the disor-
ders caused by coffee and rebuild the
broken down blood and nerve cells A
ten days trial of Postum will prove
this to the most skeptical.

Funny Game of Hn-roo,

A game popular among the Tlinkits,
q tribe of Indians in southern Alaska,
is called ha-goo.
The children range themselves in two
parallel lines. In the center of one line
is player who holds aloft pole with
brightly colored piece of cloth floating
from it. Then from the opposite line
advances a little girl who holds out her
hand for the decorated stick, while all
her companions make faces, say funny
things and "cut capers" to make her
laugh.
If she smiles ever so lightly she Is
out of the game, but If she can keep a
solemn face she takes the stick and
goes back to her own line, while one Of
the opposing players moves across the
open space and tries in turn to keep
straight face.
This goes on until there remains only
one player who has not smiled, and this
one wins the game for the side.

A traveller in Tartary tells the follow
ing story of a corpulent Greek servant
who accompanied him: "At the end of
the third day the well seasoned kavass
in attendance, whose whole life had
been passed in the saddle, came, with
a smile, to report that Gurgis was un-
able to proceed from ABRASION as the
doctors called 1t, of the epidermis. He
can't be left behind, sir, in the desert,
added the old beirakdar, so, with your
leave, we will give him the Tartar
bath A tub Of the strongest brine was
accordingly prepared, in which the un-
fortunate Gurgis was forthwith i'm
mersed, uttering the most appalling
howls at the first plunge, but subsiding
shortly afterward and eventually after
half an hours tanning coming out so
effectively case hardened that he rode
farther thousand miles to the Black
sea in the course of the next week
without showing a symptom of dis
tress."

AN AID TO MOTHER.
Ways In Which the Daughter of the
Home May be n Help.


There are many ways besides usurp-
ing the role of housekeeper in which
the daughter Of the home may relieve
her busy mother and imprint her per-
sonality upon the family life. One way
is to study the matter of arranging fur
niture in the rooms. With much occu-
patton the mother may easily have lost
the artistic nicely of care in detail with
which she began her housekeeping
twenty-five years ago, or perhaps she
has lost the ambition to keep up with
the constant development in taste and
knowledge of values that mark life at
the moment. The daughter will have
plenty of time to study and investigate
the subject and will surely find some
thing to change. She will learn that to
put a statuette in window recess
shut off from inside view by hanging
draperies and to be seen, therefore, on
ly from the street shows very poor
taste. 1t Is n frank confession that the
beauty of the piece is for outsiders and
not for family enjoyment. Any artist
friend will tell her, too, that potted
plants, palms, etc, do not belong, as
they too often are seen, around the fire
place in a room. This should focus the
family companionship and also its hos
pitality. Chairs and sofas, tea table
perhaps, table with a reading lamp,
may be included in the semicircular
sweep that radiates from the hearth
stone, but plants do not belong there.
Study the other furnishings of the
room from the same practical point of
view. Use and comfort come first, it
being always possible to associate with
these the full degree of beauty and ef
feet of which they are capable Don't
put the piano or the writing desk off in
n dark corner where no light is avail

UnmusicaI Wolves.

An incident just reported from Sivas,
Turkey, seems TO prove that the feel
ing which music awakens in wolves Is
fright. Two musicians-a drummer
and piper-returning to their village
from wedding party were overtaken
by a snowstorm and sought refuge in
u deserted mill, They lit Il fire with
some wood they found in the place
and were warming themselves when
they saw wolf emerge from a dark
corner of the building. They jumped
up on shelf and, to their dismay,
saw several more wolves join the first.
The animals rushed in their direction,
and the drummer, at loss for mode
of defense, set to beating his drum,
whereupon his companion instinctlvely
played his pipe. The effect was mar
velous. The music so terrified the
wolves that they attempted to run
away and as the door was closed, they
began fighting, and several of them
were torn to pieces, the survivors
eventually escaping through a hole in
the wall. This incident is vouched for
by the Government Gazette of Sivas.

For EmerUencfes.

If a housekeeper lives at remote
distance from the market and stores
it would be well for her to equip her.
self with an emergency closet. Again
and again she is surprised by the sud
den appearance of relative or friend
who has come to "stay for tea" and of
course the larder is always destitute
on that day. The emergency closet
would need nothing more than can of
tomatoes, peas and salmon, bottle of
good salad dressing, box of bread OF
cracker crumbs, a can of grated cheese
and an Edam or pineapple cheese,
some canned fruit or preserves and a
fruit cake whose good qualities have
been previously tested. This last arti-
Gle, with the addition of hard or soft
sauce, is an excellent substitute for
plum pudding.

Where Workers own Mills.

The city of Oldham, England, is the
seat of an immense cotton spinning in
dustry, and most of the mills, strange
as it may seem, are owned by the
working class. Many years ago the
workers thought out the problem and
resolved to cooperate for their mutual
advantage. The result is that there are
seventy-tive cooperative spinning mills
In that one city, and the capital invest
ed in these mills is $25,oo0,O0o. They
are not only owned by the workers,
but entirely managed by them. The
shares are divided into S25 each, and
workers are allowed to pay for one or
more shares on the installmeut plan.
These mills have been successful-in
fact, the most successful cotton mills
In England. They lave paid as high as
% per cent dividends in one year,
though this, of course, was an eXcep-
ton. There are 1000 operatives in
these mills who are worth from $1,000
to $4,000 each, and there are many
more worth from $1,000 up to $4,000.
But this Is not all. In this same city
there are many cooperative stores,
both retail and wholesale, and several
building societies, with a total capital
of about $1S,0O000O so that the work
ers in this one city have nearly $45,-
100000 invested in productive industry.
Besides this, Oldham Is one of the lar
gest home owning towns in England,
due no doubt to the good sense the
workers had to cooperate for their mu-
tual advantage. Oldham is, too, one of
the best trade union centers of Eng
land. 1t is pretty safe to say that the
workers in that city have won more
success by cooperation than they could
possibly have won by politics.

The Latin Quarter of To-day.

The Latin quarter of today is as full
of individual character as the same
ground in the middle ages. One writer
says Paris only possesses two really
marked individualities, the student
and the grisette Not but that student
life is always changing its outward
semblance, just as the university
structures themselves are changing
theirs.
Since the days of Abelard Paris has
grown from a town of 10000 inhab-
itants clustering around little island
to one of 100000, covering almost a
whole province, but the students are
still the soul of the city. When Paris
makes merry or mourns, the students
lead the way. 1t is the Latin quarter
which sets the fashion in ideas, as the
Champs Elysees in dress.-Scribner's
Magazine.

The SpOrtive Pig.

All boys know that a dog is great
aid to the sportsman, but not many of
them would think pig could be of
much use in hunting. Yet in France
pigs are used in hunting trufiles, del
icacy for the table which is found at
the roots of oak trees
When farmer decides to go hunting
for truffles he takes his pig, and piggie
goes smiling about with his nose to the
ground just as a dog when he follows
the scent. When he finds truflle he
begins to burrow in the loose soil with
his snout. Before he can take the truf-
fle, however, the farmer pulls him
away, but gives him few acorns by
way of compensation. AS soon as he
has eaten the acorns Mr.. Pig goes to
work hunting more truftles. Some
times he will find several pounds of
them beneath tree.
