The Differences in Races.

The late r. II. Stoddard was fond
Of contrasting the English and the
French workingman, to the great ad-
vantage of the former. One OF his
comparisons deal with the death Of
Dickens.
"A shoot time after Dickens died"
he would say, "a friend of mine visited
the scene OF his last hours, and. in
search Of Dickensiana, stopped in a
neighboring inn. He spoke of the
novelist's demise to the waiter. A
great loss he said
"a great loss indeed to us, sir.

ART OF REST.
May Be Acquired and Used With
Great Benefit.

May Be Acquired and Used With
Great Benefit.
Complete and restful poise of the
body and mind is an art not easily
gained.
Perhaps nothing brings one as
much content, comfort. happiness
and pleasure as those conditions Of
easy restful, resourceful and well
balanced mind and body, that make Of
work a pleasure and the daily life
happy and peaceful.
The nervous housewife busy with a
hundred duties and harrassed by child
rem; the business man, worried with
the press Of daily affairs, debts, ETC.,
cannot enjoy the peace and restful
repose and healthful nervous balance
unless they know how.
There is way. First and foremost
the stomach must be consulted. That
means leaving off coffee absolutely,
for the temporary stimulant and the
resulting depression is a sure ruin to
the nervous system, and the whole
condition Of health and happiness
rests upon stomach, nerves and mind.
Start with the stomach, that is the
keystone to the whole arch. Stop
using things that break down its
power, upset its nervous energy and
prevent the proper digestion Of the
food and the consequent manufacture
OF healthful blood and nerves, brain
and tissues.
When you quit coffee take on Pos
tum Food Coffee. That is like stop
ping the payment OF interest and
starting on career where you are
loaning money aud receiving interest.
The good results are double. You
stop poisoning the system with coffee
and start building up the broken down
nerve cells by powerful elements con-
tanned in Postum. These are pure
food elements ably. selected by ex-
perts for the purpose Of supplying
just the THUS required by Nature to
perform this rebuilding.
These are solid substantial facts
and can be proven clearly to the sat
isfaction OF anyone. by personal ex-
perience. Try the change yourself
and note how the old condition OF
shattered nerves and worried mind
changes to that feeling of restful poise
Of well balanced nervous system.
The managing physician Of a hygi-
enic sanitarium in Indiana says that
for five years in his practice he has
always insisted upon the patients
leaving OF coffee and taking Postum
Food Coffee with the most positive,
we'll defined results and with satisfac-
ton to the most confirmed coffee
topper.

startled gaze, then, dropping into
chair, she laid her head on the table.
The man looked down at the bowed
head. Then, moved by sudden i'm.
pulse, he pressed his lips on her wav.
ing hair and her white neck. The
touch Of his lips accomplished what
his words could not; for, as she lift.
ed her head, her eyes shone with a
look which seemed to open the gates
of Paradise for him. With an inarticu.
late cry he clasped her in his arms
just as footsteps sounded on the walk
outside.
Dick Haskins looked ruefully at
Edith's flushed face, but he said
gaily, NOW, Edith we'll go, if Mr..
Strong will excuse u.s."
Strong started forward, but before
he could speak, Edith laid her hand
on his arm, as she said, "Will you ex.
cuse me tonight, Dick? Mr.. Strong
is leaving in the morning, and"
"And as | am to be her husband.
Dick, naturally want her to myself
this evening" Mr., Strong interposed.
Dick though surprised and chag
rined, was no coward. Hiding his own
emotion as best he could, he con.
graduated Mr.. Strong and Edith heart
lily, and speedily left the room.
Mrs. Wentworth was very happy as
she kissed her daughter and gave her
hand to Mr.. Strong.

DANGEROUS PIECE OF SURGERY
Abscess in Mouth Of Cobra Success.
fully Treated.

IuIlJ lTCdlCu'
A remarkable feat of snake surgery
took place recently in the New York
Geological Park under Curator Dit
mars. Magma, splendid 10-foot
king cobra had developed an abscess
next to one of her poison fangs, and
unless this was removed she would
die. To capture the dangerous reptile,
to force her jaws apart and to cut
the abscess, was the problem.
The curator had plan and he
called for an extra fat snake pill.
When the stuffed snake appeared it
was distended to the bursting point.
In more than a month the cobra had
not touched food. Mr.. Ditmars sum-
moned five keepers, armed himself
with a surgeons pinchers and pro-
ceeded to the attack. Through a cir
cular aperture, protected with a slide,
the snake pill was threaded. The
hungry snake took hold of it at once.
Frequently she stopped, in evident
paiA, but each time she resumed until
the long black thing was half way
down her throat.
This was the moment to act. The
door was thrown open and before the
cobra could disgorge herself to fight,
she was seized by the head and throat,
while other hands grasped her body
and tail. Then the mouth was forced
wide apart while the pincers did their
work, and the finest specimen of cobra
In captivity was thus saved to the col
lection.

ELIJAH'S CONQUEST.
by NELLIE NJ. GILLESPIE.
copyrighted 1903 By The authors Publishing Company

Where, oh! where is the good Eli
jah?"
Where, OH where" Edlths gay
young voice broke off In the midst of
its lifting song at the warning finger
from the doorway. Before the girl
could ask the meaning of the warning,
the Rev. Elijah Strong appeared in
the doorway behind Mrs. Wentworth,
gravely polite, a little hooking smile
about his lips, merry twinkle In his
dark gray eyes.
Here | am, Miss Edith. am glad
you find me good"
Edith had been in the habit of hum
ming this song of her childhood ever
since she had known the Rev. Elijah
Strong, partly in ridicule of the old
fashioned name, partly to tease her
mother. Now, caught at her nonsense,
she blushed scarlet
"Oh, then, he hasn't gone up in

worth, while she, excusing herself to
her guest, went out to attend to their
tea.
When Edith came into the room
again in a dainty white muslin, her
cheeks flushed, her eyes bright, she
found Mr. Strong alone in the room.
You are not sorry that begged
your mother to invite me to stay to
tea, are you, Miss Edith?" he asked
gaily, and yet a little wistfully.
