BAD DREAMS
Indicate Improper Diet, Usually Due to
Coffee.

One of the common symptoms OF cof-
fee poisoning is the bad dreams that
spoil what should be restful sleep. A
man who found the reason says:
Formerly 1 was a slave to coffee. I
was like a morphine fiend, could not
sleep at night, would roll and toss in
my bed and when did get to sleep was
disturbed by dreams and hobgoblins,
would wake up with headaches and
feel bad all day, so nervous I could not
attend to business. My writing looked
like bird tracks, 1 had sour belchings
from the stomach, indigestion, heart
burn and palpitation Of the heart,
constipation, irregularity Of the kid
neys, etc.
Indeed, 1 began to feel had all the
troubles that human flesh could suffer
but when a friend advised me to leave
off coffee 1 felt as if he had insulted
me. I could not bear the idea, it had
such hold on me that I refused to be-
lieve it the cause.
But it turned out that no advice
was ever given at a more needed time
for l finally consented to try Postum
| ana with the going of coffee and the
coming OF Postum all my troubles have
gone and health has returned. l eat
| and Sleep we'll now, nerves steadicd
| down and 1 write fair hand Gas you
can seq, can attend to business again
and rejoice that I am free from the

Ten days trial of Postum In place of
coffee will bring sound, restful, refresh

Mrs. Gertrude Athcrton thinks that
contemporary American literature is a
tame and Improbable product. She
says so i'll the May number of the North
American Review, and sets herself to
explain why it is SO bad. She charges
ii with mlsrcpreSenting its country, and
contrasts the bOldneSS and dynamic
energy of the American race with a
literature the most timid, the most
anemic. the most lacking in in
dividualities, the most bourgeois
that any country has ever known"
| 1t might. she declares, be the
product of a great village censored by
| the village gossip. She names Mark
| Twain and Bret Harte as the two
American authors who first showed the
shaping influences of new nation.
They could have been born and nour-
| ished nowhere else on the planet but
| here, and she wonders why they did
not found permanent and important
| schools, or at least by their brilliant
success remind others that originality
| is the final and supreme touch which
| secures an artist a permanent position
on the heights" She has hopes for the
| future. Our public seems to her to be
| disentangling itself from leading
| strings, and there are signs that in
another generation we shall have dis
| carded our Puritanism and grown into
Il broad. tolerant. and no less virtuous
| race.-Harper's Weekly.

The mistake tnat people HdNc iI'uc
in recommending reading as a means
to culture is very like that which they
have made in urging it as Il means TO
the development of character. If gust
any kind of literature and any manner
of reading won't make men wise or
cultured, it seems much less likely to
make them good There can be no question
that the better classes of literature give
an uplift to the character. by this is not
meant all books that are well written.
There arc many books which from the
mere standpoint of literary art are among
the finest, but which have dcteTioratinS
effect upon the mind and character Of
everyone who reads them. This is true
of Chcsterficlds Letters" 1t is true OF
much of Rosseaus writings. especially
his Confessions" On the other hand.
| no man can read Addisons writings with
out being made better both mentally and
morally. They made picty and morality
| fashionable in Queen Anne's time. His
tory has been called gigantic fiction and
the Ncwgate's calendar OF the human
race; but there is 4 great mass of his
torcal and biographical literature from
Xcncphon and PIutarch to Macaulay and
| Washington Irving which cannot b.
Tread by any man without giving him ar
elevated opinion of human nature and a
lmore or less lasting ambition to lead a life
OF goodness and greatness. We car
imagine nothing which would have q
more stimulating effect upon both the in
tellect and character of the average
young man than a reading of John Nor.
ley's fascinating life Of the great ant
pure Gladstone.
Books are the food of the mind. Like
the body. the mind will profit by its foot

If it has not enough and proper food; ant

The EpIcurean Badger.

The badger is a great epicure in eggA and much of the hostility of game keepers to this animal lies undoubtedly in the fact that 1t will, when 1t gets the chance, devOur a whole nest of par fridge or pheasant eggs. Badgers are said also to be fond of honey, and, knowing the extraordinary craving of their South African cousin, the ratel, for this delicacy, l should say 1t Is not improbable that they may occasionally partake of It. It is certain that these animals have a particular liking for the nest and larvae of wasps and wild bees, digging down with strong feet and infinite perseverance till they at tain their object. These animals are said by keepers 70 kill and devOur free ly young rabbits. That they do partake of this fare at times Is, think, certain, but that they destroy any very consid- erable number Is more thar doubtful Still. the badger is carnivorOus in his tastes and is not, even by his kindliest friends. to be absOlved from deyouring at times tender rabbits and even the young of game birds when he can get hold Jf fthem.-Longman's
