Sleep It Out.

Joseph jefferson has "in his time played
many parts,' yet SO closely is he ldentl-
ned with RIP Van Wrinkle" that the
public never lost sight of it when it had
the privilege of seeing him. While he was
playing in Missouri once he boarded
VIGOROUSLY slow train for st. Joseph.
He went into the sleeping car, but not
to go to bed, as the train was que at St.
Joseph late in the evening. 1t dawdled
along, however, says the Philadelphia
Press and finding that it could hardly ar
rive before morning, he ordered his berth
made up.
As the porter finished his task Mr.. JEFF
ferson said: This is the worst road ever
travelled on; fancy I'm in for a full
night of it."
Deed, reckon you is, sah," replied
the porter.
Positively the slowest road! TIN be
morning before we are there. Do you
think you'll get in before Pm awake"
SLOW road sab! Bound to be plumb

sab, was tellin' me that you's the gen le-

How Italian Cheese Is Made.

This variety of cheese Is manufac-
tured from milk which has been de-
prived of about half its cream. 1t is
not pressed, like American cheese. but
is worked and nodded with the hands.
After molding the cheese is put into
brine for three or four days, and when
thus sailed, is taken out and hung up
to season or cure. The finished prod
uct resembles summer squash in
shape, being provided with q knob on
one end. The taste is something like
that of Switzer cheese, and the tex
ture is rather dry. The manufacture
Of Italian cheese is rather expensive,
and consequently. it brings a very

No Hunting in Palestine.

The late Bishop Beckwith, of Georgia,
was fond of his gun, and spent much of
his time hunting, says representative
from that state. One day the bishop was
out with dog and gun, and met member
of his parish whom he reproved for mat
tention to his religious duties.
"You should attend church and read
your Bible" said the bishop.
81 do read my Bible, bishop" was the
answer, "and 1 don't find any mention
of the apostles going a-shooting."

HAPPY CHILDHOOD.
Right Food Makes Happy Children
Because They Are
Healthy.

Sometimes milk does not agree with
children or adults. The same thing Is
true of other articles of food. What
agrees with one sometimes does not
agree with others.
But food can be SO prepared that 1t
will agree with the weakest stomach
AS an Observation-Disclosures, no matter
how weak the stomach, can eat, relish
and digest nice hot cup of Postum cof-
fee with spoonful or two Of Grape
Nuts poured in, and such q combination
contains nourishment to carry one a
number Of hours, for almost every
particle of 1t will be digested and taken
up by the system and be made use Of.
A lady writes from the land of the
Magnolia and the hooking bird way
down In Alabama and says: II was led
to drink Postum because coffee gave me
sour stomach and made me nervous.
Again Postum was recommended by
two well-known physicians for my chill
dren, and feel especially grateful for
the benefit derived.
Milk does not agree with either
child. so to the eldest, aged four and
one-half years. gave Postum with
plenty Of sweet cream. It agrees with
her splendidly, regulating her bowels
perfectly although she Is Of q cousti-
pated habit.
. For the youngest, aged two and one
half years, use one-half Postum and
one-half SKINNED milk. I have not
given any medicine since the children
began using Postum, and they enjoy
every drop Of 1t.
"a neighbor of mine is giving Postum
to her baby lately weaned, with splen-
did results. The little fellow is thriv-
ing famously." Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum agrees perfectly with children

Dairy Cows Should Be curried.

The brush and currycomb are far
less used on cows than they are on
horses, yet they are quite as necessary
to the animals comfort. Who has not
seen cattle rubbing their sides against
a fence or tree, or their backs under
some overhanging limbs? 1t not only
adds to their comfort to rub them
down, but it draws the blood nearer
the surface, so that the animal is bet
ter protected in winter. With the same
feeding well-groomed COW will keep
In good condition when she would be
scrawny and rawboned If not regularly
curried or brushed.

Anyone looking at this barn cannot

Mr.. Keller planned it himself and con-

Certain it is that the doing away with

that the plan is worthy of consideration

total cost of this one, including mate
rial, track. labor. etc. was but $500.
No Srain is kept in the barn, although
a few bins could easily be provided il
