The Worlds Oldest Coin.

That money, in the form Of coin,
should be a comparatively recent in.
vention, IL we may use the word,
seems too odd to be true. But we are
reminded of the fact by the news sent
from Turkey in Asia that a German
archaeologist has Just obtained The
Oldest coin in existence. which only
dates from the ninth century before
the Christian era.
II was from the mint, IL the expres.
sion may be used Of such an early
cate, of an Aramean king of Schamo;.
This Oldest known coin is, we believe
about twelve centuries older than The
Oldest existing book But coins. being
made of precious metal, are enormous.
ly durable. Some of the earliest and
best coins of the Mediterranean basin
are those of the old Greek colony of
Czyzicus. on the Hellespont, and prob.
ably the oldest existing piece of metal
work of which the date is known is
the tripod. made to celebrate the vic.
tory of Plataea by the Greeks over
the Persians. The golden ball which
1t supported is gone But the tripod
itself, designed to initiate twisted ser.
pents, is still kept in the mosque Of
st. Sophia at Constantinople.

Polite Children Of East Bolivia.

Capt. Jermann of Rio de Janelro,
who recently returned from a journey
into the rubber districts OF East Bo-
livia, almost In the heart of Central
America, visited town in the very
interior. SO far from civilization that
1t required horseback ride Of three
days to get to 1t. There he found two
schools for boys and one for the girls
of the place, but only one teacher,
who was an old half-breed. This old
man was drunk when the traveller ar.
rived. and remained drunk for two
days.
But" says Capt. Jermann, "the chill
dren were just as good and well.ce-
haved as If they were enjoying the
best educational chances in the world.
Ihey were as polite as the most cul-
tured people in the outside world, and
were eager to show me attentions,
without, however, pressing them upon
me.
They never entered a house, not
even a shop, without knocking at the
door or the side and obtaining permis.
sion to come in. After this permission
was given they always took off their
shoes, which they left outside"

Turbans Very Popular.

Whatever may be the character OF
the fashioning, the smaller hats now

HAPPY CHILDHOOD.
Right Food Makes Happy Children Be-
cause 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 II
will agree with the weakest stomach.
AS an Observation-Disclosures no matter
how weak the stomach, can eat, relish
and digest a nice hot cup of Postum
coffee with spoonful or two Of Grape
Nuts poured in, and such a combna-
tion contains nourishment to carry one
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 mocking bird way
down in Alabama and says: IL was
led to drink Postum because coffee
gave me sour stomach and made me
nervous. Again Postum was recon-
mended by two well 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, give Postum with
plenty OF sweet cream. II agrees with
her splendidly, regulating her bowels
perfectly. although she is OF constl.
pated habit.
'For the youngest. aged two and one
half years. use one half Postum and
one-half SKINNED milk. have not
given any medicine since the children
began using Postum. and they enjoy
every drop OF II.
"A neghbor OF 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 Greek. Mich.
Postum agrees perfectly with chill
dren and supplies adults with the hot.
invigorating beverage In place OF
coffee. Literally thousands of Amer
leans have been helped out of stom-
ach and nervous diseases by leaving
on coffee and using Postum Food Cof-
fee. Look In package for the little

Pockets In Dresses.

"There is one. thing that envy man
for" said woman recently, "and that
is pocket. I would give almost any

"Women will be seen walking along
the streets on rainy day trying to
hold up their skirts, holding ON to an
umbrella and earnestly wishing for a
third hand to carry the money. 1t is
predicted, however, that Dame Fash

silken underskirt. where 1t will not
interfere with the set, and will be
roomy and secure. There it will be

How Chinese Cure Sick.

The Chinese have a curious way OF
curing their sick. When a man sui.
fers with a serious illness, one of his
friends, usually the dearest, performs
strange ceremony to effect cure
For this he procures a light branch
of a tree, strips off all the leaves,
with the exception Of few at the end
and to this he fastens a small mirror
of polished steel, and under this he
attaches one Of the garments of tho
sufferer. Thus strangely equipped he
takes short walk in the country,
throwing the branch across his shoul.
der, while the garment is waving In
the wind.
During the time he is walking a
priest in the nearest church offers
prayers for the cure of the one who is
i'll.
The Chinese think that the garment
of the sick person will attract the II.
ness of its master, and so will relieve
him. This is regarded as an infallib!s
means to cure those they love-
