Where are they?' 1 inquired.

"They are away down in the hold,
beneath a lot of heavy bales which are
going to be taken to another port, he
said, with perfectly serious face.
Il summoned the telegraph opera
tor and instructed him to wire our
representative in Calcutta what the
East Indian had told me. With that
information / gave instructions thai
the bales in the hold should be re-
moved and the missing drill parts got
from beneath them. Within three
hours I received return message
that my orders had been carried out
and that the missing parts had been
found exactly where the East Indian
said they were concealed. In a few
days thereafter the drills reached us
and were put at work cutting into the
rock in the heading. After that expert
ence, and others like it, do you won
der that believe in mental telegraphy
as it is practiced in India by the edu-
Gated East Indians?"

RIGHT HON E.
Doctor Recommends Postum from
Personal Test.

No one is better able to realize the
injurious action of caffeine-the drug
in coffee-on the heart, than the doc
tor.
When the doctor himself has been
relieved by simply leaving off coffee
and using Postum, he can refer with
full conviction to his own case.
A Mo. physician prescribes Postum
for many of his patients because he
was benefited by it. He says:
Il wish to add my testimony in re-
gard to that excellent preparation
Postum. 1 have had functional or
nervous heart trouble for over Is
years, and part of the time was unable
to attend to my business.
Il was moderate user of coffee and
did not think drinking it hurt me. But
on stopping it and using Postum in
stead, my heart has got all right, and
ascribe it to the change from coffee
to Postum.
II am prescribing it now in cases of
sickness, especially when coffee does
not agree, or affects the heart, nerves
or stomach.
When made right it has a much
better flavor than coffee, and is vital
sustainer of the system. I shall con-
tinue to recommend it to our people,
and have my own case to refer to-"

JOHNNY KNEW WHAT 1T MEANT.
1t Was Something the Teacher Used
Every Day.

A girl was teaching her first term
of school last winter in a small cOun-
try place called Olneyville, CT. The
scholars, as in most country schools,
were a miscellaneous lot from six to
IA years of age, some of them being a
little hard to manage. More than
once the teacher was obliged to resort
to the old-fashioned method to keep
order.
One day one of the older scholars
came to the word sarcasm" in the
reading lesson. This was too much
for him, and he asked the teacher
what that word meant. The teacher
was surprised that one of his
age did not know the meaning of so
common word, and finally asked i
there was anyone in school who did,
and if so, to raise their hand. No
hand was raised.
Why" said the teacher, cts some
thing | use myself nearly every day
here in school" A knowing look went
over a little fellows face sitting near
the front, and up went his hand.
We'll, Johnny" said the teacher,
edo you know what it means?"
Eyes, marm,' said Johnny. 1T
means a ruler"

Rules for Panama Hats.

Mr.. William G. Hesse, who is the
government authority on Panama
hats, gives the following rules for the
care of your best Panama says Tech
meal World Magazine Don't crush
up Panama hat as though it were
cloth cap. 1t cannot stand such
treatment; it will break. The stories
of the indestructibility of Panama
hats are untrue. Don't attempt to
clean Panama hat yourself EXCEPT
with soap and water. 1t is folly to
use lemon or acid on this sort of
hat, and it is the height of folly to
let the irresponsible and ignorant
street fakir do your cleaning, for he
invariably uses the rankest acid. Don't
fail to brush your Panama at least
once a day. Straw hats should be
brushed as often as derby hats.
brush mine twice day, and it is as
clean at the end of the summer as il
was at the beginning. Don't fail to
remove crease that may be any,
where in your hat. Such a crease is
bound to cut the straw. Don't be
careless of your Panama hat. Treat
it with consideration, and it will last
you all your life.

Camping in Germany.

The latest discovery in Germany is
camping! r. Julien writes about
1t In the Berlin Tageblatt as die neu-
este Sommer-Romantik" Like so
many new things" he says, 1.-The
camping summer amusement comes
to us from the far west by way of
France. American youths it was, pu-
pills, students, who first introduced it."
The Americans, he goes on to inform
his countrymen, convinced that the
comforts of life in cities tend toward
effeminacy, make regular sport of
camping. Not only during the sub
mer vacation, but often over Sunday
they go-alone, in couples, in fam
lies, in clubs-to forest or shore.
Sleeping in the open air steels their
nerves, while rod and rife provide adj
dluonal recreation. Mr.. Julien sus-
poets that Trapper-romantik' and
inherited ancestral love of adventure
throw light on this American spe-
cialty. Possibly, he adds, the paucity
of "Erholungsstatte" has something
to do with it. There he is, of course,
mistaken, but his guess suggests the
main reason, no doubt, why the Ger
mans themselves have not heretofore
known the delights of camping. A
German never takes a walk or excur-
sion that does not end at an "Er-
holungsstatte"-a tavern or beer gar
den. Supply follows the demand
and inns are SO abundant, even in
out-of-the-way places, that tenting
seems superfuity, if not an absurd
ity. For students, who, most of all,
might feel inclined to rough it, I'M
der canvas, dozens of special inns
have actually been built in the noun
famous regions of Germany. 1t re-
mains to be seen, says the New York
Post what effect fashion will have
in acclimating this new American fad,
which is said to appeal particularly to
-automobilists!

Thunderstorms on the Water

"On the water said a grizzled old
bayman, when you see thunder.
storm rising you want to keep an eve
on the lightning. If you see it in the
distance striking down further and
further to the right from where you
first saw it, or further and further to
the left, why, that indicates that the
storm is working to the right, or to
the left, and it may pass around you.
But if you see it all the time com.
ing down in the same place and all the
time getting brighter and brighter,
why, that indicates that it's coming
straight toward you; and that's the
time, son, when you want to make for
home, or get in your sail and make
everything snug till the storm passes
over"

SUFFERING.

OF the etiology of suffering we
know nothing definite. Direct inherit
ance is rare, and possibly imitation is
the chief factor when father and son
are affected. There is usually a well
marked neurotic Inheritance others in
the family having various forms of
nervous complaints. But / have not
been able to confirm Charcot's state
ment that suffering and ordinary ia
cial paralysis frequently occur in the
same family. Shocks, frights and de-
bility after some acute illness are the
causes to which the onset is most
frequently attributed by parents. I'M
itation is undoubtedly an occasional
cause, children having often been
known to start the habit when put in
charge of a suffering nursemaid. A
friend of mine, who was extremely
fond of horses and was hardly to be
kept out of the stables, acquired
most obstinate stutter from the groom.
AdenOid negotiations are often met
with and are important as predispos-
ing cause since they tend to prevent
the proper filling of the chest with
air When present they should be re-
moved as preliminary measure, al
though it must not be expected that
their removal will lead to a prompt
cessation of the stutter-Lancet

BEGGAR WORE SILK HAT.
Attire of Mendicant Surprised Wis
itors in London.

Tho visitors from the country turn
ing from a London railway terminus
into the street on Saturday stopped to
gaze aghast at man standing in the
gutter, Look" said one, nudging the
other, even the beggars wear top
pers' in London!" 1t was true in this
case. at any rate.
Here was man of about five and
thirty, dressed like city clerk, in
good morning coat and trousers, sound
boots, clean starched shirt and collar
and well fixed tie. He was crowned
with silk hat, well brushed and
ironed. But there he was in the con-
ventional attitude of the curbstone
merchant, one foot on the pavement,
the other in the gutter One hand
held out for sale half a dozen boxes of
matches, the other invited aims.
A man keeps nice little place in
the country from the profits of his
pitch on the pavement in the Strand,
but his workaday clothes would not
fetch as much as this mans hat cost
to iron.-London Evening Standard.

Useless Self-ImmoIation.

Enoch Arden had returned and dis
covered that his wife had given him
up for dead and married another
man.
Il suppose I ought to go in and up
set all that" he muttered as he
softly retreated from the window
through which he had been peeping;
but it would kick up a terrible rum
pus. Besides, it would knock a good
poem into cooked hat"
If he had lived a few years longer,
however, his more mature judgment
would have assured him that such a.
windup could not have spoiled the
poem to any great extent.-Chicago

lee as publisher. In September,
1856, being then Is years old, he pur-

running it ever since. That he still

that although he lost his entire plant

CHICAGO PACKERS TO MOVE.
Location to he in Indinnn-City Officials
Have Ordered Changes Made
in Present Builings.

Chicago, Ill.,-Rumors to the ef.
feet that a new stockyards with Sir
Thomas j. Upton of London as its
chief hacker is to be established near
Gary, Ind, adjacent to the property
of the United States Steel corporation
were in circulation Friday. Several OF
the best known real estate men in
Chicago were named among those said
to be acquiring land for the purpose
Although the story generally was
discredited among the packers, it was
declared that at least six plants are
to be removed from Chicago to In
diana 1t is said the plans include the
digging of canal to the little Calumet
river for the purpose of carrying of
refuse.
The building commissioner. Peter
Bartzen, and the sanitary commission
er, Perry l.. Hedrick, served notice
Friday on the packers TO make I'M
provemeuts which it is estimated by
Bartzen will cost close to Sl,000,6O0.
Bartzen declared that practically all
the buildings in the stock yards were
erected without city building permits
He said lie will ask the city council
to give him fifteen special inspectors
for term of thirty days. The sani-
tary commissioner said the packers
are willing to adopt all suggestions
made by his department.
Mayor Dunno sent a letter to the
Secretary of Agriculture, James Will
son. urging him to give his views in
reference to the joint appointment OF
a committee of high grade pathologists
and experts to pass on the purity OF
meats sent out from the stock yards

telegram in regard to the matter. but
he received only brief teleGraphic

But enough has been developed in my
Judgment to call for immediate
thoroughgoing and radical enlarge
ment OF the powers of the govern
ment in inspecting all meats which
enter into interstate and foreign COM
merce. Unfortunately the misdeeds
of those who are responsible for the
abuses we design to cure will bring
discredit and damage not only upon
them but upon the innocent stock
growers, the ranchmen and farmers
of the country. The only way perma-
nently to protect and benefit these in
nocent stock growers, the farmers and
ranchmen, is to secure by law the
thorough and adequate inspection for
which | have asked. Sincerely yours,

SPORTS OF CHILDREN.

Skipping rope is childish pastime
of ancient origin. In place of rope.
vine stripped of leaves was original
ly used
The childish amusement ci riding q
cane is of great antiquity. 1t was
practiced by the children of Greece
and ancient Rome.
The game of hide and seek is an
other youthful pastime of ancient
origin. 1t came from Europe about
the beginning of the seventeenth CEN
tury.
The spinning of tops. favorite
amusement among children in the
spring, also came from the Greeks.
Records show that this kind Of fun
was In vogue at the time of Vergil.
Leap-frog is mentioned in the
works of both Shakespeare and John
son. 1t has been played by children
from early times, and is still, a IA
vorite game with boys.
The flying kite derived Its name
from its originally being made to re-
semble that species OF bird called n
kite The amusement of kite flying is
about two centuries old in Europe.
Probably it originated in China,
where, so records tell, the practice
of flying kites is very ancient.
