Electricity in South America.

In proportion to the very limited
population. wealth and general indus
trial development of South America
that grand division of the earth has
been making remarkable progress in
the application of electricity to light
ing cities and towns and operating
many kinds of power plants. There
are two great factors in bringing
about this free use of one of the most
interesting forces of applied science.
One is the high cost of coal, which
has been imported from England, as
rule, and has been made very ex-
pensive by freight charges, especially
in the interior of the continent. The
other is the uneven surface of most
of the country, with great number
of deep valleys, mountain chains, and
swift streams from the size of great
rivers down to small torrents in the
Andes. Much of the water which falls
as rain seeks the sea in ways that
make the use of the power of streams
to generate electricity very easy.

An Old Garden: A Memory.

Tall grasses hide the door
In Ivy covered wall.
Near dull gray steps of stone which bore
The marks of Tim-a hidden store
OF memories sweet which evermore
Across the years will call
The child who loved to stray
With book of fairy lore
In quiet paths, the boy at play.
The huntsman at the dawn of day,
The lovers in the time of May,
Will keep their tryst no more.
There down the old stone flight
OF steps. with moss o'ergrown,
Once passed the bride with roses white,
The soldier eager for the fight,
The dead who. diving. made our light,
And. dying. left US lone
The sunsets fiery gold
Makes radiant the sky;
1t shines upon the garden old
And visions come like tales retold.
To vanish as the night wind cold
Breaths out gentle sigh

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 Neutrality-suspicious., no matter
how weak the stomach, can eat, relish
and digest nice hot cup of Postum
coffee with spoonful or two Of
Grape-Nuts poured in, and such COM
bination contains nourishment to car
~ one a number of hours, for almost
every particle of it 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 mocking bird way
down in Alabama and says: 81 was
led to drink Postum because coffee
gave me sour stomach and made me
nervous. Again Postum was recon-
mended by two we'll known physicians
for my children, 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, 1 give Postum with
plenty of sweet cream. 1t agrees with
her splendidly, regulating her bowels
perfectly although she is Of a consti-
pated habit
For the youngest, aged two and
one-half years, / use one-half Postum
and one-half skinned milk l have
not given any medicine since the
children began using Postum, and
they enjoy every drop of it.
"a neighbor il mine is giving Pos
tum to her baby lately weaned. with
splendid results. The little fellow is
thriving famously." Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich
Postum agrees perfectly with child
rem and supplies adults with the hot
invigorating beverage in place of cof
fee. Literally thousands of Americans
have been helped out of stomach and
nervous diseases by leaving on cof
fee and using Postum Food Coffee.

BAVARIA'S MAD KING
PECULIAR REcREATIoNS OF DE-
MENTED MONARCH.
Clad in the Silver Armour of Lol1en-
grin, He Would Spend Nights on
the Water Listening to Music Made
by Concealed Performers.

King Ludwig II. of Bavaria, the
mad king" was a patron of Wagner
and a hater of all women. Fitzgerald
Molloy, in his Romance of Royalty"
tells an amusing story of Ludwig's
peculiarities: AT times the king
summoned opera singers to the pal
bee. These it was his pleasure to
listen to as he glided noiselessly over
the lake in the winter garden which
he had constructed on the top of the
royal residence in Munich. This gar
den was SO large that it extended
along the whole length of the west
wing of the palace. Its splendor and
its perfume made it seem an en-
chanted place Countless roses hung
from it's high-arched roof; thousands
of lights glowed softly from under the
leaves of palms, plantains and other
tropical trees. From its poisoning
strawberries rose the slender nina
rets and glittering cupolas of kiosks.
Paroquets flew from branch to
branch; waterfalls splashed musical
1y; on the walls views of the Hima-
laya mountains were painted so skill
fully as to give an impression of
space and distance. The waters of
the lake were colored blue and scent
ed with violets, while it's banks were
covered with hyacinths and orchids.
Here, in a golden boat, shaped like
that in which Lohengrin appears, and
propelled by a mechanical swan, his
majesty, clad in silver armor, like an
enchanted knight, spent the hours
when the world slept, listening to
stringed instruments or to singers
concealed behind foliage. He was
silent, solitary. dreaming. like the
pale dwellers in lotus land. Here
Wagner was occasionally permitted to
bear his majesty company, a favor
once extended to Fraulein Schefszky,
an opera singer, whose superb voice
had won his enthusiastic admiration.
Unwilling that this should be limited
to her voice, the lady sent him verses
limiting of her ardent love, and made
him presents that he accepted on con-
dition that he paid for them-an ar
rangement that allowed her to reap
considerable profit, as she charged
him three times their cost, until an
exorbitant demand for some gift
awoke his secretary's suspicion and
led to the discovery and the dismissal
of the fraulein from royal favor.
"One evening she was invited to
SIT with MIN ana wagner IN the boat.
1t seemed to her that she had reached
the highest place in his favor. There
fore, in a moment of silence succeed
| ing her song, while the swan noise
| lessly drew them through the blue
tinted perfumed water, and his ma
| jesty, lost in reverie, stared into
space, the lady leaned forward and
gently passed her fingers through his
hair. Shocked and disguised by such
| familiarity, he pushed her away so
roughly that the boat upset and flung
| all three into the lake. The king
clambered up the bank and strobe
away without turning to see what be-
came of his companions, and the
prima donna, drenched and disillu-
stoned, was rescued by the composer
with the assistance of a bOathOok''

Cairo can boast of the possession of
the oldest herbarium in the world. 1t
is in the museum, and consists of
collection of dried plants or portions
of plants taken from the wreaths and
garlands found in mummy-cases and
from the edible plants which were set
in earthenware vessels on the floor of
the sepulchre. Many of these floral
remains are so well preserved that,
after being treated with warm water,
they can be handled as if they were
modern specimens, while their colors
are also remarkably well preserved.

Fixed His Own Reward.

There is one finder of other peoples
property who, if only half honest, has
saving sense of humor. In an ele-

book containing $50 a few days ago.

book and $25 were returned to him
with this note:

amount to pay an urgent creditor. l

Weakened Senator from Dream.

once startled out of a dream while he
was a member of the United States
senate. Senator Thurman rose to

ing his nose loudly a couple of times.
Mr.. Davis was thinking of the days
of long ago when he was a brakeman

Poison ivy.

Poison Ivy has three leaflets and vir-
ginia creeper has five. The former has
white berries, the latter purple. The
leaves of poison ivy often change to
beautiful tones of yellow and red in
the fall and are sources of great temp
tation to any one who is out hunting
autumn leaves for decoration. 1t IS
better, however, not to run the risk
which one incurs by handling this
plant, unless one is positive he is i'm
mune from it's effects.
