HARD TO SEE.
Even When the Facts About Coffee
Are Plain.

1t is curious how people will refuse
to believe what one can clearly see.
Tell the average man or woman
that the slow but cumulative poison
Gus effect of caffeine-the alkaloid in
tea and coffee-tends to weaken the
heart upset the nervous system and
cause Indigestion, and they may laugh
at you if they don't know the facts.
Prove it by science or by practical
demonstration in the recovery of cof-
fee drinkers from the above condi-
tions, and a large per cent of the
human family will shrug their shoul-
ders, take the drugs and-keep on
drinking coffee or tea.
Coffee never agreed with me nor
with several members of our house
hold" writes a lady. 1t enervates, de-
presses and creates a feeling of Ian
guor and heaviness. 1t was only by
leaving off coffee and using Postum
that we discovered the cause and cure
of these ills.
"The only reason, I am sure, why
Postum is not used altogether to the
exclusion of ordinary coffee is, many
persons do not know and do not seem
willing to learn the facts and how to
prepgre this nutritious beverage.
There's only one way-according to
directions-boil 1t fully is minutes.

Laundry Work at home would be

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fneness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch. as it cam be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they SO often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start this trying
period in young girls life without
pain or Irregularities.
Hundreds of letters from young girls
and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia L. Pinlxham' s
Vegetable Compound has accomplished
for them, have been received by the
Lydia L. Pinkham Medicine Co., at

lowing letters to Mrs. Pinkham, which

Jupitsr,s pouhla Moon.

The most wonderful of all the re-
markable things which nightly
come within the range of the pow
erful modern telescopes is the dou-
BILE moon which continually circles
around and around Jupiter, the
giant of the skies" This astro-
nomical oddity was not known un-
til after the great Lick telescope
was put in position on Mount Ham
ilton, the discovery of the tiny satel-
lite only dating back to 1891. The
first hint of the presence of this
moon of a moon" was given when
one Of the Lick observatory men re-
ported that one of Jupiter's satel-
lites appeared to be casting double
shadow on the giant planets sur
face. From that time forward fol
some weeks sharp lookout was
kept, and at last the observers were
rewarded in getting a glimpse of
the curiosity-a tiny dot of a moon
revolving around another moon,
both held in position by the great
Jupiter.

BACKWARD BOYS.
Brilliant Men Who Did Not Shine In
Their Younger Days.

[ think most men who have been
educated at any large public school
will readily call to mind numerous
instances of boys who were always
winning prizes, yet have not done
anything worth mentioning in after
life. And / am confident that upon
investigating the early years of
those who have led y strenuous and
remarkably successful career it will
be found that the majority were
rather lazy than not before they en-
tered upon the actual battle of life.
Oliver Goldsmith was looked
upon by his schoolmaster as Ounce.
That may possibly have been the
fault of the latter. fancy there is
something specially narrowing to
the mind in a scholastic career, just
as there is in a doctors. That at
least is my individual experience.
Gladstone never took prize at
school. if | remember Alright, though
he subsequently gained double
first at Oxford. Those high priests
of science and philosophy, Darwin,
Huxley, Tyndall and Herbert Spen-
Ger, did not particularly shine in
their Younger days.
We find plenty of evidence that
people who in the first stages Of
their career make prolonged and ex-
haustive demands on their stores of
nerve force rarely attain length of
days. Whether those demands have
been made merely in the pursuit of
wealth or for some more noble OBJ
ject does not matter. III result is
the same, Thus Napoleon consid-
cred about four hours in bed ''a
good nights rest" He joined the
majority at ffty-one. Dickens pass
ed over at fifty-eight, his great rival,
Thackeray, at ifty-two. Byron
achieved his unique reputation in
the short compass of thirty-six
years, Mozart in thirty-fve and
Schiller in forty-fve. Alfred Belt
died at ffty-three and Cecil Rhodes
at Observation-Disclosures Chronicle.

Miaht Have chsno.d History,

Napoleon III. of France, when a
prisoner in the fortress at Ham,
wrote and published a paper on the
possibility of linking the Pacific and
Atlantic oceans by means of canal.
This created SO profound an i'm
preston that the minister plenipo-
tentiary of Guatemala offered him
the presidency of the construction
of the Nicaragua canal. The pro-
posal was followed by the offer of
the presidency of the Ecuador re-
public. The latter offer was condi-
tional upon King Louis Philppe's
releasing the captive and upon the
latter's giving his parole never to
return to Europe. Louis Napoleon
was prepared to give his parole, and
Sir Robert Peel, then prime minis
ter of Great Britain, was willing to
back up his application for release
upon these terms. Lord Aberdeen,
however, would not hear of it, so the
prisoner remained to be president
and emperor of his native land.

A young Englishwoman visiting
in Paris received a note from u
friend saying that tickets had been
sent by an earlier post for concert
to take place that afternoon, but by
error wrong street number was
written on the envelope. This, said
her correspondent, might make a
delay in the arrival of the letter,
and it would be well TO make in
quiries at once ut the post of the
nearest division.
Arriving at the postoflice of our
quarter, ! made known my errand
to threeyoung gentlemen in success
sion. The last young gentleman
took out long paper and demanded
peremptorily my name, age, address
and birthplace. He was proceeding
to that Of my father and mother
when / suggested that all this infor-
nation, although doubtless of thrill

scarcely assist in restoring my lost

phy-"the chief of my department

will make communication to you
as soon as traces of the letter are

1t was ILL., when / reached the
great post, and was sent to five
different departments before arriv
ing at the one for misdirected let
tiers. Feeling both snubbed and i'll
used, l inquired whether before we
proceeded to fill in more forms this
monsieur would kindly tell me
whether there was the remotest
chance of recovering the letter that
day before 2 o'clock.
"Today! This day ITSELF" he
cried in shrill Indignation. 'EPar-
bleu, but you imagine to yourself,
then, madam, that the post con-
ducts itself like an automobile"
Il hoped that since my letter is
here actually here in this depart
ment-that one could place the
hand ON it in the course of two
hours. In England" | continued,
with fine outburst of patriotism,
"we have such perfectly organized
system that l should have the letter

Remind yourself that England
is, after all, but an island. Here we
are in France" he threw back his
head proudly-"and here things
march not SO quickly. 1t will per-

depression turned away. - Ex-

Stevens and Maynard.

posed in debate by Horace Maynard
Of Tennessee. Maynard was very
tall and straight and had long black
hair, which he wore well down over
his coat collar, and which gave him
somewhat the appearance OF ar In
dian. 1t was even rumored that he
had some aboriginal blood in his
veins. Maynard prided himself on
his scholarly attainments, and at
the close of his address he quoted
one or two Latin verses. Old Thad
replied to Maynard's argument in
his usual vigorous manner and then
paused for few seconds until he
had secured the attention of the en-
tire house. Turning to Maynard,
who sat SONS distance behind him,
he delivered this parting shot; $50
