1t is the purely autumn constella-
tons which may be seen covering the
face of the sky during the evenings of
September. A last glimpse of the
striking summer group Scorpio may
still be had, but this constellation is
rapidly sinking low down in the south
west and will soon disappear for an
other year. At the close of the month
the Pleiades and the Hyades, the first
OF the winter stars, may be seen just
above the ground in the east, telling
us that summer is indeed over and
that winter is at hand. Meanwhile it
is the less striking but no less beauti-
full faint autumn groups which are
with US.
Directly overhead will be seen the

In the catechism

The late Rev Walpole Warren was
hearing the Sunday school repeat the
catechism one Sunday preceding con-
firmation, when boy from the class
of small children ventured to ask a
question of the minister
''Mr. Warren" he inquired in an
anxious tone why does the multi
plication table make people wicked ?''
why do you ask that question,
John? I never knew it to do so,'' he
said.
John turned to his catechism and
read from it the question:
Did man grow worse as he be-
gan to multiply And the accompany
ing answer, He did.i"-New. York

DUST THE DEMON.
A TussIe with Coffee.

- tuSSte WITH Gomez.
There is something fairly demoni-
acal in the way coffee sometimes
wreaks its fendish malice on those
who use it.
lady writing from Calf. says
My husband and 1, both lovers OF
coffee, suffered for some time from a
very annoying form of nervousness,
accompanied 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.
Il was unable to hold my head mp
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, until a
friend suggested that possibly the cof-
fee we drank had something to do
with it, and advised that we quit it
and try Postum Coffee
1--WE followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve. and in
very short time both of us were
entirely relieved. The nerves became
steady once more, the headaches
ceased. the musclessin the back of my
neck relaxed, my head Strengthened
up and the dreadful pain that had so
punished me while used the old kind
of coffee vanished.
I'VE have never resumed the use of
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
every day as well as we did the
former beverage. And we are de-
lighted to find that we can give it
freely to our children also, something

THIS STRIKES US.

The publishers of the state are in
terested In the investigation of the
General Paper Co. now going on in
Milwaukee under government super
vision. This company was organized
to control the output and price of
paper in the west and for the past
two years it has been successful.
A similar organization exists in
east, and the two territories are not
permitted to come in competition.
This monopoly does not affect the
general public but it does affect the
publishers of the country. They
are obliged to pay any price de-
manded and in case of advance to
pocket the loss. Papers like the
Herald are paying $2.S5 for print
and furnishing the paper to patrons
at the same rate as when they paid
$1.S5.
The larger papers which use from
one to three cars a day, pay
about &c in the west, and 1ac in the
eastern market.
There is just cause for complaint
on the part of the small publishers
and if the present investigation is
successful they may find some re.
