OVER SEA HABIT.
Difference on This Side the Water

The persistent effect upon the heart
of caffeine in coffee cannot but result
in the gravest conditions, in time.
Each attack of the drug (and that
means each cup of coffee) weakens the
organ a little more, and the end is al
most a matter of mathematical demon
stration. A lady writes from West
ern state:
II am of German descent and it was
natural that l should learn at very
early age to drink coffee. Until was
% years old l drank scarcely anything
else at my meals.
"a few years ago 1 began to be af
fected by steadily increasing nerv-
BUSINESS, which eventually developed
into distressing heart trouble that
made me very weak and miserable.
Then, some three years ago, was added
asthma in it's worst form. My suffer
ings from these things can be better
imagined than described.
During all this time my husband
realized more fully than did that cof-
fee was injurious to me, and made
every effort to make me stop.
Finally it was decided few months
ago to quit the use of coffee absolute
", and to adopt Postum Food Coffee
as our hot table drink. / had but little
idea that it would help me, but con-
scented to try it to please my husband.
/ prepared it very carefully, exactly
according to directions, and was de-
lighted with its delicious flavor and
refreshing qualities.
Just so soon as the poison from the
coffee had time to get out Of my sys-
tenn the nutritive properties Of the
Postum began to build me up, and !
am now fully recovered from all my
nervousness, heart trouble and asthma.
/ gladly acknowledge that now, for the
first time in years, I enjoy perfect
health, and that I owe it all to Pos
tum." Name given by Postum Co.,

Was Goethe's Sweetheart.

1t is little difficult to realize that
a sweetheart Of the poet Goethe was
still living only six years ago; yet
that such was the fact is recalled by
a German writer in I. P.'s Weekly.
Her name was Ulrica Won Levetzoff,
and at her death in 1899 she was in
her Goth year. Goethe met her at
Marienbad, being then 10. He fell
seriously in love with the young girl
and proposed for her hand, the grand
duke Of Saxe-Weimar acting as his in
termediary.
Naturally enough Ulrica declined the
offer, and Goethe did not press his
suit after the first rebuff. Neverthe-
less, he could not dismiss the matter
from his mind, as is shown by a let
ter to friend written some consider
able time later. Ulrica herself never
married. She is described as having
been woman of much personal
charm and Of strong character.

HOW . Plump Little Darlxy Mar
rOwly Escaped.
The yellow fever was raging in the
city OF Vera Cruz that year, SAYS St.
nicholas, and one of the large West
Indian liners which arrived on q GER
tain day was obliged to anchor Off in
the harbor. A small boat, known as
a dingy. hoated astern, and in this an
active young colored boy of about Is
was bus1ly at work washing Off the
seats. The boat lurched over with a
sudden dip as the boy bore his weight
ON one of the thwarts, and Pedro
heard warning shout from the steam
ers deck just in time to give one ter
rihed glance around and to hear n
noise he knew only too well.
without an instant's hesitation he
Jumped overheard from the opposito
side Of the boat. For as he looked h.
caught sight Of the Jaws of a great
shark which, spying this tempting
morsel Of a plump little darky bow
had leaped toward the careened boat
with open mouth. So vigorous was
the sharks leap that as Pedro went
over one side Of the boat the shark
Topped in at the other. Not being
used to these surroundings, and miss
ing his prey, he fioundered around I'M
til his head bore down the gunwale
and he slid from the careening boat
into the sea again before the people
on the steamer could fling a harpoon
at him. Almost as he disappeared
poor Pedro's head popped up on the
opposite side of the boat and, in a
terrible fright, he clambered into the
dingy again, as thoroughly scared a
young darby as ever had narrow es-
cape.
Had he not thus saved himself from
the maneater, help from the steamer
would have been necessary and even
then it is more than probable that the
boy would not have been saved. This
Is remarkable instance of the fepoc-
ity Of shark seeking his prey out of
the water.

RABBI REN.HtssAR.

Rabbi Ben-Hissar rode one day
Beyond the city gates. His way
Lay toward a spot where his own hand
Had buried deep within the sand
A treasure vast of gems and gold
He dared not trust to man to hold.
But riding In the failing light,
A pallid figure met his sight
An awful shape-he knew full well
Twas the great Angel Azrael.
The dreadful presence froze his breath;
He waited tremblingly for death.
"Fear not" the Angel said: II 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
Thy rarest jewel to thy King"
Rabbi Ben-H issar bowed his head.
"All that have IL 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.
'It was a dream" he sadly cried.
81 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.
~ thank thee, Lord" was all he said.
