killed. The body was inferred with
cause of death A policeman and a
physician were dispatched to the Koo
lau district, where the murdered man
had been buried, to ascertain the
cause of death. The body had been
buried for several days. Efforts were
made to induce some of the natives
to help disinter the remains, but all
refused.
The superstition attending the
touching of bodv that had once been
buried was too strong. Finally one
of the men, Ku, was given coptous
drinks of liquor and induced to help
disinter and handle the body during
the post norton.
The natives gazed in horror on theii
former companion and neighbor All
ter the officials had left and the body
had been reinterred, Ku discovered
that he had done an awful thing. HI

hkSlT'S CHAIN.
Certain Habits Unconsciously Formed and
Hard to Break.

An ingenious philosopher estimates
that the amount of will power neces-
sarv to break lifelong habit would
if it could be transformed, lift weight
of many tons.
It sometimes requires higher degree
of heroism to break the chains OF per-
nicious habit than to lead forlorh
hope in bloody battle. A lady writes
from an Indiana town:
"From my earliest childhood was a
lover of coffee. Before was out OF my
teens [ was miserable dyspeptic, suf-
fering terribly at times with my
stomach.
81 was convinced that it was coffee
that was causing the trouble and yet L
could not deny myself cup for break
fast. At the age of SO was in very
moor health, indeed. My Sister told me
| was in danger of becoming a cofee
drunkard.
"But I never could give up drinking
coffee for breakfast although it Kept

I learned to make it properly according
TO directions, and now we can hardiy
do without Postum for breakfast, and
care nothing at all for coffee.

pepsia, do not have spells of suffering

me so when. 1 drank coffee" Name
