IT PAYS
IT PAYS To Know Facts About Coffee.

When man takes properly selected food and drink Nature will most all ways assert herself and rebuild the structure properly.
 From my earliest remembrance I was a confirmed coffee drinker," writes gentleman from Marshallville, Ga, taking two cups at nearly every meal. While at college l became very nerv- ous, dyspeptic, irritable and unfit for study and attributed it largely to coffee, but did not stop its use.
 When l was married I found my wife was troubled the same way, and we decided to try Postum Food Coffee. My wife made the Postum according to directions and we found it superb. We used it exclusively for the morning bev- craze, and the taste of ordinary coffee became distasteful to both of us
 We have found a distinct gain in health. Any amount of Postum does not cause a feeling of either dyspepsia or nervousness, while the return to cof- effects upon my nerves. My dyspepsia has entirely left me, and both my wife and self are we'll and strong and feel that it is all due to the Postum." Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich
 It is easy to replace coffee with Pos tum which has, when properly made, a 1ich flavor and the color of coffee with none of it's injurious after-effects.

IN A CHINESE SCHOOL.

To learn to read and write in China means about
as much work for the youngster who undertakes
1t as mastering five or six languages such as
English, French and German To begin with, the
Chinese language has no alphabet. Every char
acter used stands for a word There is not even
any way Of telling the sound OF a word except by
hearing ii pronounced by the teacher To learn to
read means that the small student must be abIe
to understand thousands of these different char
acters at sight. and pronounce them according to
the local dialect.
AS a rule Chinese school is not divided into
classes Each scholar has his separate lesson
consisting of a rumber of lines be learned ''by
heart" He has to study aloud and, in conse-
quence. the noise In Chinese schoolroom would
drive the average American teacher frantic. At
hrst the pupil does not understand any of the
words he learns by rote. The meanings are ali
explained to him later This is the kind Of
schooI that in China keeps seven days in the week
with very few holidays throughout the year

Academy Of Music.

The authors of 1.-The Village Postmaster"
which comes to the Academy next week
have selected episodes in the old days back
in the fifties, when in New England the
law compelled every able-bodied citizen to
assemble once each year in the autumn
and drill in the manual of arms. This form
ed the militia Of the small villages The
event was always observed as holiday
and looked forward to with much interest
by the people of the various towns. 1t was
called general training day. A dance usu-
ally took place. and the festivities were al
ways enlivened by the village band. The
first act opens in the country store; the
scene changes to the village green on train
Ing day and ends in wonderfully realistic
shower of rain which drives the merry
makers to shelter The second act Is the
minister's donation party, where the plain
but homelike sitting room is seen with its
ample and cheerful fireplace. the singing of
the village choir to the accompaniment of
the melodeon. The Offering of gifts to the
minister seems true to life. and will awaken
memories of similar scenes in more recent
years. The third act shows realistic farm
scene with an old fashioned threshing ma
chine, threshing wheat and propelled by
horse power. The last act shows the viii
lage church at night.

Columbia Theater.

One of the greatest hits of recent years,
one which set all Washington laughing last
season. is "Are You Mason?" which Is to
be presented at the Columbia Theater be-
ginning Monday evening. January 10. 1t
will have a production first class in every
particular. and it, will be played by one of
the finest organizations Of players ever
seen In this city, known as Rich & Harris
comedians and headed by John c. Rice
and Thos. A. Wise. whose regulations as
players able to produce a laugh a minute
is widespread.
The story Of "Are You a Mason?' con-
sists in the efforts Of young husband to
comply with the wishes of his wife to be-
come Mason. Failing to do so he de-
ceives the conf1dng woman. His father
in-law and mother-in-law appearing on the
scene. 1t Is discovered that the old man has
been working the same game upon his wife
that the sOn-in-laW is practicing, his OBJ
ject being to get away from home nights,
not to attend lodge, but to take part in
poker game. Neither of the men knows
that the other Is not really Mason, and
their efforts to conceal the lack Of knowl-
edge of the workings of the order, the one
from the other. and both from their re-
spective wives. causes the laughter The
father-in-law has before been married, and
tunity to remind him Of the fact. He is
the first to find out the deception of his
son-in-law regarding Masonry, and pro-
ceeds to make the most of his knowledge,
still claiming that he, himself, is a Mason,
until the young husband calls in the assist

Of ten weeks In Chicago and eight weeks

Klaw & Erlanger imported this gigantic
English spectacle In Its entirety as done at
Drury Lane Theater, London, to this coun-
try. 1t is the first spectacle. from the IA
nous playhouse to be shown on this side of
the Atlantic, and so great has been its sue
cess that others are shortly to be brought
out.
1.-THE Sleeping Beauty and the Beast is a
combination Of two nursery stories, "The
Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the
Beast" In the first scene. THE Fairy Par
lament" the Fairy Queen determines to
bestow a baby girl on a childless King and
Queen, but the EVIL Witch threatens the
child with death on her sixteenth birthday.
which the Fairy Queen says she will amend
to sleep, lasting one hundred years, from
which a prince shall wake her with a kiss.
At the Hydro. at "Aix-and Palms." the ac-
quaintance of the comical old King and
Queen is made. They are sojourning at the
health resort taking mud baths. Being re-
minded that it is Beautys birthday, they
hasten back to the palace. In vision the
Witch tempts Beauty with a golden spin
ming wheel, with which she wounds her
hands and falls into a swoon, the King
Queen and all the court following suit. A
hundred years elapse and Prince Charming
Is on the edge of the Tangled Forest, until
love sets him the task and he wins his way
through. Then comes "Beauty's Awaken
ing" an exquisite scene, upon which
neither pain nor expense has been spared.
In ballet called 1.-The Four Seasons
Beautys dream is shown. Each of the sea-
sons is symbolized by the flowers proper to
them. Toward the end comes a splendid
dash of poppy red. a magnificent display,
which is softened for the eye when the sue
ceeding bevy of girls appear in snow-white
raiment, relieved only by holly leaves and
red berries. This serves to introduce the
