A PERFECT HAND.
How its Appearance became Fnmil-
lar TO the Public.

The story of how probably the most
perfect feminine hand in America be
came known to the people is rather III
tcrcsting
As the story goes the posseSsor of the
hand was With some friends in Il photo
graphor'S one day and while talking.
held up a piece OF candy. The pose of
the hand with its perfect contour and
faultlcss shape attracted the attention
Of the artist who proposed to photo
graph it. The result was a beautiful
picture kept in the family until one
day, after reading letter from some
one inquiring as to who wrote the Pos
tun and Grape Nuts advertisements,
Mr.. Post said TO his wife, I'VE receive
so many inquiries Of this kind. that it
is evident some people are curious to
know, suppose we let the advertising
department have that picture of your
hand to print and name it "A Help
iu1 Hand" Mrs Post has assisted
him in preparation of some of the
most famous advertisements
There was Il natural shrinking from
the publicity. but with an agreement
that no name would accompany the
picture its use was granted
The case was presented in the light
Of extending Il welcoming hand to the
friends of Postum and Grape Nuts, so
the picture appeared on the back GOV
crs of many Of the January and Febru'
AIRY magazines and hecamc known to
millions Of people.
Many artists have commented upon
it as probably the most perfect hand
In the world
The advertising department of the
Postum GO. did not seem able to resist
the temptation To- enlist the curiosity
Of che public, by retaining from Civ
ing the name of the owner when the
picture appeared, but stated tnat the
the newspaper announcements. thus
seeking to induce the readers to look
for and read the forthcoming advertise
GENTS to learn tho name of tie owner.
This combination of art and cou,-
mcrce ana the Multitude OF inquiries
furnishes an excellent illustration Of
the interest the public takes in the
personal and family life OF large man
Cfacturrgs, whose names become house
bold words through extensive and con-
tinuous announcements IN newspapers
and periodicals.

WHEN NATURE CLEANS HOUSE.
Rainy Season in Caracas the City's SAM
tary Salvation.

Just what Caracas would do without
its rainy season | cannot imagine, for
the city is far from being clean and
sanitary. Garbage is thrown into the
yards for the vultures to feed upon; dust
and papers accumulate in the streets,
and the visitor is about to pronounce
the city the dirtiest he has ever seen,
when nature suddenly decides to put
things to rights. An ordinary rainfall
would not suffice now; thorough flush
ing is needed and nothing short of a
deluge will do it.
But somewhere up in the mountain
tops the deluge is forming, and presently
n great black vapor overspreads the val
ley. 1t comes slowly at first, as if to
warn the people to go indoors, but when
it has acquired sufficient density it falls.
In a moment, almost, the streets and
courtyards are flooded, the fantastic
waterspouts that overhang the sidewalks
pour out their streams like gigantic ket-
tie spouts, and loud is the noise of the
splashing and scattering.
Half an hour later one tiptoes along
the shiny pavements, as if over newly
scrubbed floor; above him is n sky Of
spotless blue, while the only clouds to
be seen are insignificant patches of white
along the mountain sides. Yet, in an in
credibly short space of time the whole
process may be repeated.-St. Nicholas

much, that after abstaining from coffee

times. but always with disastrous re-
suits. l had about made up my mind
that coffee was necessary evil.

that | would find Postum Food Coffee
