GUST THE DEMON.
A TussIe with Coffee.

There is something fairly demoni-
acal in the way coffee sometimes
wreaks its fendish malice on those
who use it.
A lady writing from California says:
MY husband and I, both lovers Of
coffee, suffered for some time from a
very annoying form Of nervousness, ac-
compared by most frightful head
aches. In my own case there was
eventually developed some sort OF af-
lection of the nerves leading from the
spine to the head.
II was unable to hold my head up
straight, the tension Of the nerves
drew it to one side, causing me the
most intense pain. We got no relief
from medicine, and were puzzled as TO
what caused the trouble, till friend
suggested that possibly the coffee we
drank had something to do with It,
and advised that we quit 1t and try
Postum Coffee.
"We followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve. and In a
very short time both Of us were entire
ly relieved. The nerves became steady
once more, the headaches ceased, the
muscles in the back Of my neck relax
ed, my head Strengthened up and the
dreadful pain that had SO punished me
while 1 used the old kind Of coffee
vanished.
1--WE have never resumed the use OF
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
every day as we'll as we did the former
beverage. And we are delighted to
find that we can give it freely TO our
children also, something we never
dared to do with the old kind Of cot
fee." Name given by Postum Co., Bat
tie Greek, Mich.
Postum Coffee contains absolutely
no drugs Of any kind, but relieves the
coffee drinker from the cid drug pol
son.
There's q reason.

The Mater Mill.


Oh! listen to the water-mill through the
lvelong day,
AS the clicking of the wheels wears the
hours away;
How languidly the autumn wind doth
stir the withered leaves,
AS on the fields the reapers sing, while
binding up their sheaves!
A solemn proverb strikes my mind, and
as a spell is cast,
The mill will never grind again with
water that is past"
The summer winds revive no more
leaves strewn DER earth and main,
The sickle never more will reap the yell
low garnered grain;
The ripping stream flows ever on, aye
tranquil, deep and still,
But never glideth back again to busy
water-mill.
The solemn proverb speaks to all, with
meaning deep and vast,
"The mill will never grind again with
water that is past"
Oh! clasp the proverb to thy soul, dear
loving heart and true,
For golden years are feeting by, and
youth is passing, too;
All! learn to make the most Of life, nor
lose one happy day,
For time will ne'er return sweet joys
neglected. thrown away;
Nor leave one tender word unsaid, thy
kindness SOW broadcast
"The mill will never grind again with
water that is past"
Oh! the wasted hours Of life, that have
swiftly drifted by,
Alas! the good we might have done, all
gone without a sigh,
Love that we might once have saved by
a single kindly word,
Thoughts conceived but ne'er expressed,
perishing unpenned, unheard.
Oh! take the lesson. to thy soul, forever
clasp it fast,
"The mill will never grind again with
water that is past"
Work on while yet the sun doth shine,
thou man of strength and will,
The streamlet ne'er doth useless glide by
clicking water-mill;
Nor wait until to-morrow's light beams
brightly on thy way.
For all that thou canst call thine own,
lies in the phrase to-day"
Possession, power and blooming health,
must all be lost at last
"The mill will never grind again with
water that is past"
Oh! love thy God and fellow man, thy
self consider last;
For come it will when thou must scan
dark errors of the past;
Soon will this fight of life be Ger and
earth recede from view,
And heaven in all it's glory shine where
all is pure and true,
All! then thoult see more clearly still
the proverb deep and vast,
"The mill will never grind again with
water that is past"

MINING SALT IN KANSAS.

Stuff Handled and Sold Like Anthra-
cite Coal at the Mines.
IL 1887 a party Of Ohio people, led
by j. S. Crowell of Cleveland, settled
on the Kansas and Pacific land grant
and founded the town Of Kanopolis,
on the exact spot where they supposed
the geographical center Of the uni
verse to be, writes VIM. e. Curtis i'll
the Chicago Record-Herald. While
they were mistaken in their latitude
and longitude, they hit it off in great
shape in other directions, discovering
an enormous deposit Of rock salt,
which lies like anthracite coal in bed
$50 miles long and six miles wide,
nearly across the state. Crowell, with
e. H. Phelps and S. e. Baker, organ
lied the Royal Salt Company and
have been mining it like coal. They
have a shaft 900 feet deep at Kan
opolis and send the miners down, who
dislodge the salt rock with dynamite,
shovel it into cars just as they would
handle coal in Pennsylvania, hoist it
to the surface and ship it by car load
lots to every part Of the country. 1t
costs about as much to mine it as it
does coal, and sells for about the same
price as nthracite-that is, an aver
age of So ton on cars at the mines.
An opposition company has been
formed by James Cowie of Columbus,
Kan, and his associates. Cowie was
formerly general superintendent Of the
Royal Salt Company and had failing
out with his employers. The opposi-
ton company has been unable to buy
salt lands, hence they secured permits
sion from the authorities at Kanopolis
to sink shafts in the streets and alleys,
and are getting ready to undermine
the town. This, as you will imagine,
involves some perplexing questions.
1t is not settled whether the author
tiles have right to grant such a con-
cession, even to mine the streets and
alleys, and their right to grant author
ity to mine salt under the residence
property is strongly disputed. The
town lies on top Of an enormous de-
post of salt. Every lot owner claims
ownership to everything under as well
as above the surface Of his land. If
he wishes to sink a shaft in his back
yard down to the salt bed no one can
prevent him from doing so, but the
majority of the people do not admit
the right of the city authorities to
dispose of anything within the bowels
Of the earth.
The salt comes out in chunks, very
much like anthracite coal, and is grad
ed in the same way. 1t is shipped in
sacks ana barrels for use in packing
meats, curing hides and for other puF-
poses. Very little table salt is made
there, but at Ellsworth, a neighboring
town, three or four hundred carloads
of table salt are shipped every year.

Tombstone Wit.

Mary Ann Reilly and Patrick Reilly,
of County Cork, were devoted couple.
Mary, dying, pledged her husband to
have the following carved on her tomb
stone:
Here lies Mary Ann Reilly, good
wife, waiting for her husband"
Twenty-one years later, Patrick, be-
ing himself about to die, ordered that
the following addition be cut upon the
stone:
Here is Patrick at last"
Pats graceless son was not satisfied.

lance. He had carved below the two
previous inscriptions this:

FEVER'S after EFFECTS

Was Renewed by Dr.. Williams
Pink Pills.

Typhoid fever is sometimes called ner
vous fever. During the course Of the
fever the nerves are always profoundly
disturbed, and when it is over they are
left SO sensitive that the patient has to
be guarded against all excitement. In the
tonic treatment then demanded, regard
must be paid not only to building up flesh
but also to strengthening the nerves. A
remedy that will do both, make sound
flesh to repair waste and give new vigor
to feeble nerves, is the most convenient
and economical. Such remedy is DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.

Special to The Herald.
GOLDFIELD, New, March H.-
Twenty-three sacks of ore, each
weighing something under 100 pounds
and each valued at $500. were shipped
from the property of the Simmerone
here today.
The Wells Fargo company sent two
men out with the consignment, and
these two men will stay with it until
it is delivered to the smelter in Salt
Lake.
This is the richest shipment sack by
sack that ever went out of this camp.
The expense of expressing this valua-
BILE ore out under guard is about $1,000.
The guards are heavily armed, and do
not take their eyes from the ore, one
of them watching while the other
sleeps.
The Simmerone is one of the most
valuable mines in the camp, and has
previously made several rich ship
ments. The property is so valuable
that the owners have inclosed 1t with a

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The
Secretary of War: have received your
report of March II. 1t appears that
DR.. Reeds report, which, of course.
should under no circumstances have
been given to the public until you
chose so to give it and until the an
swer thereto had been made by the
commission, was without your knowl-
edge printed in the Medical Journal
1t further appears that the statements
which he thus published were in many
instances unsupported by proof.
''Dr. Reed has not displayed in this
report the qualities of temperament or
the power of accurate judicial observa-
tion.
when he assumed to make report
on sanitary conditions at your request
as secretary of war he was under obli-
cation to speak with justice on so i'm
portant subject and to observe the
proprieties as to its publication.
Judging from your report it appears
that the chief difficulties that have
arisen have come from the inherent
faultiness of the law under which the
commission was appointed. 1t further
appears, however that in view of our
experience with the workings of the
commission Encouragement of duties
and change of personnel in view of this
rearrangement should be made.
