er in Anatgonistic Identity.
perfect pun makes good sense
both ways; the edges meet with a
click like the blades of sharp pair
Of shears. Sometimes the very
thoughts fit tight together in antago-
nistic identity, as when the man said
of the temperance exhorter that he
would be a good fellow If he would
only let drink alone; or when Disraeli
Cf it was he) wrote to the youth who
had sent him first novel: 81 thank
you very much; | shall lose no time In
reading it," or as when a man seeing
poor piece of carpentry said: THAT
chicken coop looks as If some man had
made it himself" Exquisite perverse
literalness of thought! And the same
absolute punning, the very self-de-
struction Of proposition, was the old
death thrust at poor poet by the
friend who said: "His poetry will be
read when Shakespeare and Homer
are forgotten" 1t was fine, double
edged blade Of speech until some crude
fellow, Heine, think, sharpened 1t to
wire edge by adding, 'and not till
then" banality that dulled it's per-
lection forever.-Atlantic Monthly.

Are You Tired, Nervous
and SleepleSS ?

Nervousness and sleeplessness are US
.,oIlv due to the fact that the nerves are
ua t fed on properly nOurishing blood;
n 1hev are starred nerves. Dr.. Pierce's
GGnIden Medical Discovery makes pure,
';ob blood and thereby the nerves are
properly nourlshed ana al Cne organIs Oh

feel clean, strong and strenuous-you are
toned up and inyigorated, ana you are
Good for a whole lot Of physical or mental
SeSorix Best of all, the strength and in
orease in vitality and health are lasting.
The trouble with most tonics and med
tor q short time, is that they are largely
composed of alcohol holding the drugs In
SOinfion. This alcohol shrinks up the red
blood corpuscles, and In the long run run
ssxhilarated and better for the time being,
vet in the end weakened and with vitality
decreased. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery contains no alcohol. Every
hottie of it bears upon its wrapper The
Rnd0e of HOnesty in full list of all its
several ingredients. For the druggist to
offer YOU something he claims is "juSt as
GOOD is to insult your intelligence.
Every ingredient entering into the
world-famed Golden Medical Discovery
has the unanimous approval and endorse
ment of the leading medical authorities
of all the several schools of practice. No
other medicine sold through druggists for
like purposes has any such endorsement.
The uGolden Medical Discovery" not
only produces all the good effects to be
obtained from the use of Golden Seal

troubles, as in dyspepsia, biliousness, con-

THE "COFFEE HEART"
1t Is as Dangerous as the Tobacco or
Whisky Heart.

Coffee heart is common to many
coffee users and is liable to send the
owner to his or her long home if the
drug is persisted in. You can run 80
or 40 yards and find out If your heart
is troubled. A lady who was once
victim Of the coffee heart" writes
from Oregon:
81 have been habitual user of cof-
fee all my life and have suffered very
much in recent years from ailments
which | became satisfied were directly
due to the poison in the beverage, such
as torpid liver and Indigestion, which
in turn made my complexion blotchy
and muddy.
"Then my heart became affected. 1t
would beat most rapidly just after l
drank my coffee, and go below normal
as the coffee effect wore off. Some
times my pulse would go as high as
1877 beats to the minute. My family
were greatly alarmed at my condition
and at last mother persuaded me to
begin the use of Postum Food Coffee.
81 gave up the old coffee entirely
and absolutely, and made Postum my
sole table beverage. This was six
months ago, and all my ills, the indi-
gestion, inactive liver and rickety
heart action, have passed away, and
my complexion has become clear and
natural. The improvement set in
very soon after l made the change,
just as soon as the coffee poison had
time to work out of my system.
my husband has also been greatly
benefited by the use of Postum, and
we find that a simple breakfast with
! Postum is as satisfying and more
strengthening than the old heavier
meal we used to have with the other
| kind of coffee" Name given by Postum

LIFE ONLY ON EARTH
REST OF UNIVERSE uNINHAR-
TIED, SAY SCIENTISTS.
with Modern Telescopes Millions of
Stars Are Easily Discovered, But
Conditions Seem to Preclude Pos
sibility of Living Organisms There.

Astronomers can see with a great
modern telescope at least 100 1000 900 |
stars in the entire universe The
question arises: How many other
bodies like the earth exist in space?"
Prof. T. ]. j. See of the United States
navy claims that the study of the
double stars tends to support the con
tention of DR.. Alfred Russell Wallace
that the universe is not inhabited ex-
cept the earth alone. In 1896 DR.. See
published a work on the orbits of all
the double stars which could be de-
termined at that time, and he found
the double stars SO different from the
solar system that he says no other
system like that to which the earth
belongs is known to exist in the hea-
venS. The double stars revolve in or
bits of high eccentricity, and the two
members Of system are usually
equal or comparable in mass, while
the planets of the solar system move
in very circular orbits and have
masses which are infinitely small com
| pared to that Of the sun, about which
| they revolve. The result is that the
solar system affords equable cOndi-
| tons of heat and light, such as or
| ganic life requires, while the system
| of the double stars would furnish
such great changes of light and heat
that life could not survive on a planet
attached to a member of double,
such as Sirius or Procyon.
The sun has a mass 746 times great
er than all the planets combined, and
this makes it an autocrat over the
planets, whose motions it dominates
absolutely. The double stars are in
reality systems of double suns, and
mathematician claim that a planet
could not move safely and quietly in
such a system-that it would sooner
or later come into collision with one
of the stars, or be driven from the
system never to return in either case
destroying the chances of organic
life. The number of dark bodies in
the heavens is immense and, OF
course it is possible that some OF
these may afford conditions suitable
for organic life, but up to this time
astronomers are unable to point tt
a single body of this kind outside o.
the solar system.
