TO SEARCH FOR TREASURE

stroyed by ages of rust and rot. but
there must be a great deal not yet
found by occasional seekers.
The quest for gold and jewels at
the bottom of the Lake of Guatavita
in Colombia is at once more romantic
and surer to be profitable. The lake
lies ten thousand feet above the sea,
and was held sacred by the tribes Of
natives that lived near it when the
Spaniards came. Every year the say
ages, headed by their king, visited
the lake. The king, covered with gold
dust, plunged into the waters, and his
subjects threw after him gold and
silver and emeralds. When Quesada
and his Spaniards made their way up
the Andes to the lake, the natives
threw their treasures to the god Of
the lake for safe-keeping. Enough
riches have been found in The lake to
warrant several attempts to cut a
depression in the side of it. All such
attempts have lowered the water only
a few feet. Now N English company
is to drain the lake by meal of a
tunnel, and rake The bottom.

LIGHT HEARTS AND HEAVY

er would he tolerate any appearance
of heaviness in his followers. He
rebuked a brother to whom a defect
ed manner had become habitual, say
ing: MY brother, repeat thy sins in
private and do not appear before the
community thus downcast."
We are inclined to think that those
who make their living-provided it is
a fairly good one-in the sweat of their
brow have lighter hearts than those
who make it in the sweat of their
brain. The high spirits which seem
to be enjoyed by domestic servants
to judge by the sounds which come
upstairs-are a case in point. Dust
ing, scrubbing and plate cleaning
seem to weigh on the heart far less
than d%octoring, journalism or the
study of law or theology. Too often
spirits are broken by overwork or by
disappointment in the wild struggle
to succeed which goes on among pro-
fessional people. Certainly in the lit
erary world light hearts are general
ly lost early, yet the light-hearted
man of letters, though he is rare, is
the most attractive of all light-heart-
ed men.

CHANGE
Quit Coffee and Get Well.

& woman's coffee experience is in
teresting. For two weeks at a time
l have taken no food but skim milk,
for solid food would ferment and
cause such a pressure of gas and such
distress that l could hardly breathe at
times, also excruciating pain and
heart palpitation and all the time I
was SO nervous and restless.
From chilhCod up l had been a
coffee and tea drinker and for the
past 20 years l have been trying diff
ferent physicians but, could get only
temporary relief. Then l read an ar
ticfe telling how some one had been
cured by leaving off coffee and drink
ing Postum, and it seemed SO pleasant
just to read about good health 1 de-
cided to try Postum in place of coffee.
Il made the change from coffee to
Postum and such a change there is in
me that | don't feel like the same per
son. We all found Postum delicious
and like it better than coffee. My
health now is wonderfully good.
LAS soon as i made the shift from
coffee to Postum l got better and now
all of my troubles are gone. 1 am
1eshy, my food assimilates, the pres
sure in the chest and palpitation are
all gone, my bowels are regular, have
no more stomach trouble and my
headaches are gone. Remember l did
not use medicines at adjust left on
coffee and drank Postum steadily"

TALE OF BUTTERBY'S KID


Old man Butterfly hated Bob,
And Bob, he equally hated him,
And as each was oEto his shooting
job,
It seemed that some ones show was
slim.
For from Butterby's ranch to Bob's
home place
Was a mile or so, and that was all;
So the boys all said, as they viewed

Well, Bob and Butterfly met one day
Twas a thing, of course, they were
bound to do
And each of them put a tree in his
way,
And then, you bet, the bullets few.
Bob's arm stuck out, and he got a
balf
Right where its passage was bound
to hurt,
And cid man Butterfly had a call
From a bullet that injured the side
of his shirt.
But they stuck to their trees as if
they were glued,
And they hurled some names that
that are not in the books.
Gone Quit" said Bob, and his tone
was rude,
you d~assent," said Butterfly; "dern
your looks!"
And the air was full Of bullets and
filings,
And adjectives dire CT a red-hct
brand,
And they knew that Death on his
misty wings
Was waiting about to take a hand.
Come out" cried Bob, you cow

AUGUST ST, Nicholas,

Among the prize offers in the Au-
gust ST. Nicholas departments are
two especially intended to train young
readers powe<5 of observation and
discrimination. The editor of Nature
and Science asks the giyls and boys to
send him letters and photographs or
drawings Of what they find on the
beach in August. The Books and
Reading Department invites brief ar
ticles from it's readers on Some Re
cent Books for Young People" The
object Of this contest, aside from the
training of the contestants, is to learn
what books published in the last two
or three years have been enjoyed by
young readers. The girls and boys
are requested not to name books that
every one knows. but those that should
be better known.

Why Russell SAGE Moves.

Russell Sage is going to move from
the modest little house in Fifth avenue
New York, where he has lived for
forty-two years. He can no longer
stand for his neighbors. First some
n put a candy store next door to
him. Then another store was estab-
lished on the other side. At the rear
of the candy store is an immense fan
designed to cool the ice cream parlor.
This fan is right next to three of the
windows Of his dining room. The
noise it makes is d~eafening. On the
F~orty-second street side there is a
smoking parlor, and as Mrs. Sage de
tests the smell of tobacco she is COM
PEELED to keep her windows closed. So
they are going to move to the now de-
serted mansion of the late Charles
Broadway Rouss. On one side lives
Henry Clews, on the other D. Ogden
Mills.

insomnia, would be the feet. Lying
on the right side, with the knees to-
gether, and considerably fleXed, the
victim of insomnia should begin to
pedal both his feet slowly up and
down, with the movement entirely in
the ankles. The pedaling should keep
time with the natural rhythm of res
piration and be continued until it is
followed by deep and spontaneous
breathing. Several people who have
tried this remedy report that invol-
Untary deep breathing invariably be-
gins before they have pedaled up and
down a dozen tines. In obstinate
cases of insomnia the patient may
need to keep up the pedaling two or
three minutes, or even more, with in
termissions, if necessary. The treat
ment may also be varied by moving
the feet alternately, instead of stimuli
taneously. though the latter method
has proved the more speedily effica-
cious in the cases known to the
writer. The explanation of the result
obtained is probably simple. The
blood is pumped from the head, and
with the removal of brain tension, a
general relaxation follows, with a Sc
quent deep respiration and it's result
iLg sleep.
