Coffee Acts the Jonah and Will
Come Up.

A clergyman who pursues his noble
calling in country parish in Iowa
tells of his coffee experience:
My wife and l used coffee regu.
larry for breakfast, frequently for din.
ner, and occasionally for supper-al
ways the very best quality package
coffee never could find a place on ouI
table.
In the spring of 1896 my wife was
taken with violent vomiting which we
had great difficulty in stopping.
ut seemed to come from coffee drink
ing. but we could not decide.
I'm the following July, however, she
was attacked a second time by the
vomiting. | was away from home
filling an appointment at the time, and
ON my return found her very low;
she had literally vomited herself al
most to. death, and it took some days
to quiet the trouble and restore her
stomach.
Il had also experienced the same
trouble but not so violently, and had
relieved it, each time, by resort to
medicine.
But my wife's second attack salts
fed me that the use of coffee was at
the bottom of our troubles, and so we
stopped it forthwith and took on
Postum Food Coffee. The old symp-
toms of disease disappeared, and dur
ing the 9 years that we have been
using Postum instead of coffee we
have never had a recurrence of the
vomiting. We never weary of Pos
tum. to which we know We owe our
good health. This is SIMPLE state

Sister Marv,s Wisdom,

Mary had little lamb, its fleece was
white as snow; it strayed away one sum-
mer day where lambs should never go.
Then Mary sat her down and tears
streamed slowly from her eyes; she never
found the lamb because she did not adj
vertise. And Mary had brother John,
and smoked his pipe and watched the open
do3r. And as the people passed along and
die not stop to buy, John still sat down
aud smoked his pipe and blinked his sleepy
eye.
And so the brokers seized his stock, but
still he fingered near, and Mary came to
drop with him a sympathetic tear.
''How is it, sister. can you tell why other
shopmen here sell all their goods so quick.

Remembering now her own bad luck, the
little maid replies: "These other fellows

NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How n Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life Wretched for
Many, Years.


The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In an@mia the blood
is scanty or thin the nerves are inper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. Iii rheu-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
in the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
, OH the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women i'll particular have found
/ these pills an unfailing relief in head
aches caused by anemia.
Miss Stella Blocker recently said: CDR.

, of good. had headache nearly all the

these pills became entirely well.'

fected as well as my head"
How did you come to take the REM
edy that cured you?'
81 saw in a southern newspaper a
statement of some person who was cured
of like trouble by Dr. Williams Pink
Pills. My physician hadn't done me any
good, SO bought a box of these pills.

DEFINITIONS AND DERIVATION

The petrifcation agate was named for
the river Achates, in Sicily, where it was
first found.
A brochure is a small book. stitched,
not bound, so named from the French
''brocher," to stitch.
Bylaw" owes the first part of itself
to the word bye" the old Danish word
for town, burg or burgh.
The word amateur" originally
French. from the Latin "amator," a
lover, means lover of any particular
art, but not a professional follower of it
The American word BOSS" for mas
ter, is the modern form of the Dutch
"baas,' of the same meaning. 1t is de-
scended from the original Dutch settlers
Of New York
The word billion" in England and
the colonies means a million millions.
in France and on the continent, as we'll
as in the United States, it means thou
sand millions.
The name ''calomel'' means beautiful
black and was originally given to
black sulphuret of mercury. AS calomel
is white powder, the name is merely a
ocular misnomer now.
The word ''Boer," applied to the Dutch
Inhabitants of the country districts of
the Cape of Good Hope, is the German
for farmer and agriculturist. The Eng
lish word ''boor" had the same origin.
The word beverage has had many
changes in photography. 1t is found
spelled "biberedge," beverage" and
'beyeridge." 1t comes from the Italian
-'beyere," to drink, but more remotely
from the Latin.

outside wood. which will be cut away.
and thus avoid marring the pieces with
nail holes.
Patterns.
When several pieces are to be sawed
to the same shape a pattern is first cut
from thin piece of soft board, or some
times of cardboard or very heavy draw
ing paper. This pattern can be used to
mark out any number of pieces of the
same kind. and saves mucR time and
labor. besides giving greater uniformity.
After the sides are sawed to shape the
edges must be carefully filed and sand
papered smooth, holding the paper on
sandpaper stick. such as is shown at
E in Fig 81, and lastly sandpaper the
sides and all the other parts of the
rack. The three front strips may have
their two front corners rounded as
shown in the cross section at c in Fig.
81. and while this is not necessary it
will add greatly to the appearance Of
the front of the rack. At B is shown
side view. illustrating the method of
construction and of connecting the sew
eral parts.
When assembling the pieces. the two
sides must first be screwed to the shelf
piece of the rack For this purpose four
round head brass screws one and one
half-inch No Swill be needed, and for thu
three front strips six round-head brass
screws three-fourths inch No G. The
screws used for the back strips are thu
common fiat-head, three-fourths inch
No. 6, the heads of which must be coun-
tersunk into the strips so as to be flush
or just little below the surface of the
back
When boring the two side pieces for
the larger screws, and also the ends of
the strips for their screws do not fail
to bore the holes through them slightly
larger than the diameter of the stem
of the screw, just below the head. or of
such size that the screws will pass
through easily and without binding in
any way.
Then, after placing the piece in posi-
ton, carefully mark, with any pointed
instrument, through these larger holes
for the smaller holes, which must in all
cases be bored in the second piece for
the threaded part of the screw. In this
way only can strong and firm connec-
lions be made. These directions regard.
ing screws must be applied to all our
future work. but will not be repeated
If the wood is hard use beeswax on the
screw threads.
This rack is hung on the wall by two
brass screw eyes, such as is shown al ID
in Fig. 81. These screw eyes are
screwed into the edge of the upper strip
near to its ends as shown in Fig. sc.

USED ENTRENcHINC TOOLS
Their Value Was Practically Demon
strated by the japanese
in Battle.

American military attaches with the
Japanese and Russian armies are
much impressed by the Importance
which entrenching tools have had in
the far-eastern war. In a recent report
to the war department Capt. P. G.
March writes: "On October Is. 1904,
during the battle of the Shabo, | wit
messed practical exhibition of the
Japanese use of the entrenching tools
carried by the men. The Fortieth
regiment of the tenth division, Fourth
Japanese army, took a position along
the crest of a hill near the River Sha,
which marked the farthest position Of
the Japanese advance at that time and
on the front of the Fourth army. The
Russians were visible in force imme-
diately in front of us and an attack
was expected. The companies detailed
to construct the trenches came up
without arms and squatted on their
launches under cover on the reverse
slope of the hill Noncommissioned
officers stepped forward from the COM
panies and threw themselves on their
faces on the crest of the hill. They
then worked themselves forward by
their hands and feet until they ar
rived at point where they could see
all the ground in the immediate front
no dead space-and put peg in the
ground at that point. The pegs thus
established were joined by marking a
line on the ground with the point of a
pick.
"Then the men came forward. work
ing parties alternating with pick and
entrenching spade, the files taking in
tervals from each other by extending
hands at full length, each man cover
ing that much of the line Of the trench
While one relief was working the 9TH
er men of the company remained be-
low the rest, squatting on their
launches. and after the first batch had
worked about five minutes, relieved
them. The soil had not been under
cultivation. and apparently was virgin
and hard. Phe trench was finished in
20 minutes
To Capt. March's testimony Of the
value of entrenching tools Capt. Carl
Reichmann, military attache with the
with the Russian army. gives his I'M
qualified support, saying: 1 certainly
was powerfully Impressed by the mo-
bility of the Japanese and by the Rus

rible power given an army by mobility.

mote mobility in our infantry, and the
adoption of spade that is a spade"

paper will give the necessary finish to
the surface, provided the plane is sharp
and if, when the surface is nearly COM
pleted, it is set so as to cut only very
thin shavings. II quartered oak or
other hard wood is used the grain is
often torn out and roughened by the
plane, owing to the cross grained and
curly character of nearly all these
woods. This crossing and interlocking
of the fibers adds greatly to the beauty
as well as to the value of the wood for
furniture or decorative purposes.
When planning such woods the planning
bit must be kept very sharp - much
sharper than for softer woods-and the
cap iron must be set down to within Il
hair line of the cutting edge to break off
the gnarled fibers and prevent them
from tearing out below the surface be-
ing planed. But even with this precau-
ton the plane will tear and slightly
roughen up all the fibers which lie at an
angle, contrary to the direction in
which the plane is moving.
Take careful notice of the fact that
no amount of sandpapering will ever
smooth torn surface, and before using
it finer cutting tool is necessary-the
cabinet scraper This tool is made OF
thin saw-plate steel and should be about
to 5 inches long and to 31z inches
wide
To sharpen the scraper, the two long
edges are first filed fiat and square, or
at right angles to the sides. This is best
accomplished by placing the scraper
edge up in the bench wise, and, while
holding the file squarely across the
scraper push and draw it steadily side
wise from end to end of the edge. This
motion will produce a drawing cut
which will give very smooth square
edge After filing the edge true and
slightly rounding from end to end to
prevent the corners from tearing, rub
the edge smooth with an oil stone. not
only on the edge, but also on both sides.
until perfectly smooth angle is pro-
duced. Then with "scraper FURNISH
er''-shown at A. in Fig So, or any very
hard smooth steel implement, held fiat
on the side of the scraper-as shown at
B, force the edge down until it looks as
shown at C. Return the scraper to the
wise, and. holding the burnisher as at
D by both hands Zone end of the bur-
nisher in each hand). turn this edge
back until it can be felt and appears as
shown at E.
How to Use the Scraper.
To use the scraper hold it up at an an
gle of about thirty degrees from
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1905-08-04

vertical, and while pushing it forward
press hard and firmly to the surface of
the wood. Never run the scraper lightly
over the wood, for this will destroy the
keen, sharp edge. but press firmly and
compel it to cut like plane If 1t has
been well sharpened it will cut perfectly
smooth and in no way tear or roughen
the cross fibers of the surface. When
dull, resharpen with the burnisher by
first turning the cutting edges forward
again as at c, and then as before turn
ing them back, as at e.
If the burnisher is always used with
care, so as not to cut or break offthese
cutting edges, the scraper may be re-
sharpened in this manner several times.
