Coffee Has Curious Way Of Finally

Ais that come from coffee are
cumulative, that is, unless the coffee
is taken away new troubles are con-
tinually appearing and the old ones
get worse.
ITO begin with" says a Kansan, II

sands Of others to-day; thought
could not live without drinking strong
coffee every morning for breakfast
and l had sick headaches that kept
me in bed several days every month.

pumpkin My doctor said it was heart
disease and rheumatism and my
ne!ghbors said had Brlght's disease
and was going to die.
We'll, did not know what on
earth was the matter and every morn
ing would drag myself out Of bed and
go to breakfast, not to eat anything.
but to force down some more coffee.
Then in a little while would be so
nervous, my heart would beat like
everything.
Finally one morning told my hus-
band / believed coffee was the cause
OF this trouble and that / thought
would try Postum which had seen

Name ls Mlsleadlnn.

The western branch Of the Kenne.
bee has been given tho name Dead
river, because in ITS 1t was full Of
drowned soldiers So one may read,
but there is not syllable Of truth in
It; and the next picture coniured up
by the name, doleful styx, turbid
and miasmatic, is equally false, says
the Century. The plain fact is that
the river flows for a long distance
through meadows, and unless the wat.
err is high, It scarcely seems to move
at all. That IS why 1t has been called
dead. Nothing gloomy belongs to the
name. A delectable and captivating

George BrRndes, the Danish critic,
is appalled, at the worlds literary
delugo. He has been compiling some
figures and finds that about 10000
novels appear every year. Germany
publishes 1000, Great Britain 1900,
Russia 1000, America rather more,
France GOO, Italy and Spain about 500
each, Japan $50, India 200, Egypt a
dosOn, etc. In twenty years the United
States and most European countries
have doubled their output Of books,
and DR.. Brandes says that no library
is large enough to contain oil the
books that appear in the course Of
ten years. It will be seen that the
problem of the librarian Is becoming

Doctors don't seem to think of this,

for women are skipping, battledore.

first is excellent for the tendency to
abdominal obesity to which they are
so liable; the second and third are
good generally, because they put in
action all parts Of the body. Walking
up and down stairs will also keep
down fat-and so will scrubbing. For
men, baseball, cricket, football and
golf are good exercises. Indeed, all
the exercises mentioned are beneficial
TO both sexes, when dropped short Of

dumbell or Indian club exercise will
do good, and nothing is better as {

about 100 feet high. The two latter
are perforated and occur respectively,
one in Loeb Bracadale and the other
near Loeb Eynort. They are called
"Maidens" because ct a distance they
are very like gigantic women dressed

refers to them, and compares them to

There are two ways" said a bird

One way is to put him in darkened

over and over again the word you
want him to acquire. A clever parrot
will learn a word or a phrase after
some four hundred or Eve hundred
repetitions, while for some It takes a
week or more. You must keep still in
the room. No sounds from within or
without the house save your voice
monotonously repeating the phrase TO
be acquired must reach the parrots
ear. Some people teach their birds in
a well-llghted room, speaking from a

Where Fake Shows Thrive.

THE city people are the greatest
farmers said Allie Hall. the show
man at the OEItel Pefister, I'VE are run
ming a fake show at fairs-it's a good
fake all right and worth the money
and ever since we were out at the state
fair grounds a few weeks ago 1 have
learned a lot about people. 1t is the
city folks who like to be buncoed; they
like to be humbugged, just as Barnum
said. The countryman gets sore un-
less he is given just what he expects.
but the city folk don't care; they like
it Not that they want to be actually
swindled out of their money, but if the
fake is half way good, if there is a
laugh or two thrown at them or a clev-
er trick. they are satisfied and even
come again. People talk about the
farmer who comes to town to see the
sights, but it is the city people who
want to see the sights not the country
people, not when it costs anything,
anyway. 1t is in the big towns where
the fake shows make their money!
