PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

You do not lift another's burden by
treating it lightly.
The only love that is wasted is that
which is paid out.
Meekness does not buy mastery at
the cost OF manliness.
Learning the duty of happiness, we
discover the happiness of duty.
No heart is more hungry than the
one that follows for the loaves alone.
Sisterliness is easily mistaken for
anctiiication-by the man who has it.
The man with millions can never
understand why men with jobs should
go out on strike.
In the photographers negative all
that is to be light is dark, and vice
versa. This world is only the mega
tive Of the world to come, and what
is dark here will be light hereafter

THIS "coFFEE HEART.

"Coffee heart" is common to many
coffee users and is liable to send the
owner to his or her long home IL the
drug is persisted in. You can run thir-
ty or forty yards and find out il your
heart is troubled A lady who was
once q victim of the coffee heart"
writes from oregon:
II have been habitual user OF cof-
fee all my life and have suffered very
much in recent years from ailments
which l became satisfied were directly
due TO the poison in the beverage, such
as torpid liver and Indigestion, which
in turn made my complexion b!otchy
and muddy.
"Then my heart became affected. II
would beat most rapidly Just after I
drank my coffee. and go below normal
rs the coffee effect wore off. Some
times my pulse would go as high as
13T 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.
II 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 indigestion,
inactive liver and rickety heart action
have passed away. and my complexion
has become clear and natural. The
Improvement set in very soon after I
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 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 Pos

Payinn the Parson.

There was a wedding party in East
Washington the other evening at
which the bridegroom is said to have
"queered" himself, to the mortifica-
ton of his new wife and her relatives.
The marriage ceremony was perform
ed in the parlors of the minister, as
the young man declared he was averse
to public displays in such matters. Af-
ter the preacher had pronounced the
twain husband and wife the bride
groom handed him s. bill and then
remained in an attitude of waiting.
Come on, David said the new
wife, impatiently, as the young man
continued to follow the minister
about the apartment. What in the
world are you waiting for?"
Waiting for my change, of course, y
was the reply.
How much did you hand the
preacher" asked the wife.
Five dollars"
Then there will be no change" re-
piled the wife. Five dollars is little
enough for a marriage fee"
Il don't think So" rejoined the hus-
band. Five long green is too much
of a fee to pay a preacher for saying
a few words and wishing you happy
life and prosperity. But then, do
not know anything about such things.

Grand Old Man,

If despatch from Richmond, Va,
telling of one of Cupids latest mir.
acles in the Old Dominion, is not a
bit of fiction, the fountain of perpet-
ual youth is located in Virginia, and
not in Florida. According to this cap
tivating chronicle, Jacob Kinney, 80
years old, six times married, the ia.
ther of forty-four children, secured a
license at the Henrico County Clerks
Office on Tuesday to wed Ann Green,
who is 60 years old and no novice in
matrimony." Mr.. Kinney, when asked
why he intended to marry the seventh
time, replied: II need a helpmeet."
All the world loves lover, so here's
happiness and prosperity to the Vir-
ginian who. after embarking six times
on the sea Of matrimony, gets ready
for seventh voyage without fear or
trembling. To be young enough at
80 to wed widow of 60 is boon
granted to few mortals. - Baltimore
