OVER SEA HABIT.

Difference ON This Side the Water.
The persistent effect upon the heart
Of caffeine IL coffee cannot but result
In the gravest conditions, in time.
Each attack of the drug (and that
organ a little more, and the II is al
most a matter Of mathematical demon
stration. A lady writes from a West
ern State:
Il am Of German descent, and 1t
vas natural that l should learn at a
very early age to drink coffee. Until
I-was % years old 1 drank scarcely
anything else ~ my meals.
"A few years ago 1 began to be az
fected by a steadily increasing ner-
vousness, which eventually developed
into a distressing heart trouble that
L made me very weak and miserable.
Then, some three years ago, was add
ed asthma il it's worst form. My suf-
ferings from these things can be bet
ter imagined than described.
During all this time my husband
realized more fully than I did that cof-
fee was injurious to me, and made
every effort to make me stop.
Finally it was decided a few
months ago, to quit the use of coffee
absolutely, and to adopt Postum Food
Coffee as our hot table drink. I had
but little idea that it would help me.
but consented to try it to please my
husband. I prepared 1t very carefully.
exactly according to directions, and
was delighted with it's delicious favor
n refreshing qualities.
Just as soon IS the poison from
the coffee had time to get out of my
system he nutritive properties Of the
Postum began to build me up. and 1
am now fully recovered from all my
nervousness, heart trouble and asthma.
1 gladly acknowledge that now, for the
first time in years, 1 enjoy perfect
health, and that I owe IT all to Post
um." Name given by Postum Co, Bat
tie Creek Mich.
There's a reason. Read the little
book, "The Road to MELVILLE" in pkgs.
Postum Food Coffee contains no
drugs Of any description whatsoever.

HONEY HUNTERS LlRE. BEES
Sh1rk Their Work, One Declares, and
Don't Make Bee Lines,

DON'T Make Bce Lines.
There are several popular errors
about the ways of bees which need rec
tifying,' said Ike Hubbard, Il honey
hunter. The average bee, instead of
being an example Of industry, is about
the LATEST thing that flies.
Even in the busy season in mid
summer no bee will quit it's hive until
after the sun is well up and has taken
off the heavier part of the dew, and
so 500 as the sun slants toward the
hill in the afternoon every bee will
come flying home and go to roost,
though darkness Is four or five hours
away.
Then there are few bees that will
| hunt for honey from flowers so long as
they can find corn sirup or brown
sugar to steal. This fact is SO well
known to apiarists that many bee
keepers buy corn strip for SO cents a
gallon and PASS it along to the bees,
which convert it into something that
resembles honey, but is not honey, and
still sells for the genuine product Of
the hives. When a man can buy sirup
for so cents a gallon and then sell
it back to the trader as honey for So
a gallon. he can get rich right away
provided he has enough bees.
The greatest mistake that is made
about bees is the belief that they fol
low straight ines when carrying home
their loads of honey. I assure you
that the bee line n reads about in the
books does not exist.
when a laden bee is going home
with a big load Of honey in its stom-
ach and great wads of pollen on its
hind legs, it takes the easiest course,
regardless of any line. In u billy
country no bee will rise in the air to
surmount a hill when it can go around
the obstruction.
when a sharp rise lies between my
honey box and the bee tree, every bee
flies away on the arc of a circle. so
as to avoid exerting itself by rising.
In such cases I place my box on either
side OF the hill, and make my triangu-
lation nearer the apex. If one were to
so chasing after a bee that was flying
around a hill, his calculations might
lead him to China or h Philippines.
The beekeepers tell us that white
clover honey is the best. but l do not
agree with them. Domestic honey,
such as is gathered from white clover,
buckwheat and other cultivated plants,
Is too sweet.
ITO my mind, wild honey that Is
stolen from the blossoms of dogwood
and Eastwood and wild thyme and
minis and nettles is far better than
anything bought in the stores. 1t has
a gamey flavor about It that suggests
wild woods and great trees and sing
ing brooks and everything that lives
\ out of doors and away from the CON
terminating faint of mankind .

RABBI BEN-HISSAR.

naool ben-tiissar rode one day
pe9oho the city gates. His way
n"y toward a spot where his own hand
onu buried deep within the sand
"a treasure vast of gems and gold
LIS uareu not trust to man to hold.
but riding in the failing light,
"A palld Inquire met his sight
An awful shape-he knew full well
Twas the great Angel Azrael.
Inc dreadful presence froze his breath:
he waited tremblingly for death.
Fear not" the Angel said: 81 bear
A message. Rabbi Ben-Hissar.
One thing the Lord hath asked of thee
To prove thy love and loyalty.
Therefore now l am come to bring
Lily rarest jewel to thy King
Rabbi Ben-Hissar bowed his head.
"Al that l have is his" he said.
The Angel vanished. All that day
he rode upon his lonely way
Wondering much what precious stone
God would have chosen for His own.
But when he reached the spot, he found
No other hand had touched the ground.
Rabbi Ben-Hissar looked and sighed.
1T was a dream" he sadly cried.
Il thought that God would deign to take
OF my poor store for His dear sake.
But twas a dream! My brightest gem
Would have no luster meet for Him"
Slowly he turned and took his way
Back to the vale where the city lay.
The path was long, but when he came
Unto the street which bore his name
He saw his house stand dark and drear,
No voice Of welcome, none of cheer.
He entered and saw what the Lord had
done.
Lo! Death had stricken his only son:
Clay he lay, in the darkened hall.
On the stolid bier, with the funeral pail
The pale death-angel Azrael
Had chosen a jewel that pleased HIM
well.
Rabbi Ben-Hissar bent his head.
II thank thee, Lord was all he said.

ting him Into the division Superln-
tendent's Office as a messenger. That
was ages ago, and now Tom n beer
depot master Of the x for fifteen years
at one of its most important western
terminals. and few strangers ever
came in or went out of the terminal
to register any kick. But time had laid
its hand heavily upon Tom, and he
had grown totally incompetent to per-
form the duties which fell to his lot.
He was, however, a favorite with the
general passenger agent, and even the
president had a kindly feeling toward
the old man. The general passenger
agent had spent several bad half hours
over Old Toms case. He had finally
put off the evil day when summary
action would become necessary, by
giving the old man a young and able
assistant. This worked well for the
time being, but traffic increased to a
point where it became absolutely nee
essary to have an efficient depot mas
ter. h. he. ,E5 .mfe.s.- 49,,
One day the president SEM for the
general passenger agent and told him
that affairs at the depot would have
to move more smoothly.
II would gladly make some changes
there and at other places" replied the
general passenger agent, IF you
would only supply me with means of
pensioning a few old employees"
"You can't pension anyone on this
road" snapped the president, land the
sooner you get that idea out Of your
head the better it will be for the serv-
Ice"
what shall I do with some of the
old men l haveT" persisted the general
passenger agent, turn them out to
starve?"
1.-THE X railroad said the presi-
dent, "is not an eleemosynary insti-
tuition. The president, directors and
management Of the road owe a very
high duty to the stockholders and
bondholders of the road. That duty,
sir, will not permit Of Jul giving away
money where there is no return
That's all very WELL" persisted the
general passenger agent, but what
am l to do with the Old"
''That is not my business inter-
Nrupted the president. You will be ex-
pected to get the work of your depart
ment done properly, and it's up to you
to find the way. Besides that, you
must understand that the X railroad
owes no duty to a man who has been
employed by It for years and who has
not been provident enough to make
some provision for the future
."That don't sound like the presi-
dent mhttered the general passenger
agent as he left the office. But I
guess it's all up with old Tom That
afternoon old Tom responded to his
chiefs summons with the same CHEEKY
face that had endeared him to fellow
employees and to the public. The un-
s~uspecting old man began to speak OF
former times and the general passer-
ser agents pluck oozed out Of hs nm
ger tips.
