There will be . partial eclipse of the sun today. but 1t will not be visible in this part of the world. The eclipse will be visible only in South America.
 About ninety partiai eclipses of the sun occur in a century. A total eclipse was vfSible in the South only about four years ago. but there will be no more total eclipses for forty or fifty years from the present time.
 Sometime today the moon will come almost between the earth and the sun, and will cut on a part of the solar light, thus creating a partial eclipse.
 This happens only when the sun Is some distance removed from the node of the lunar orbit. The degree of ob- scuration is often expressed by digits. . digit being the twelfth part of the svn's diameter. When there is Q par- tial eclipse. 1t is only the moons ps- numbra which strikes the earth. conss- quently the partial eclipse will be vis- ible in greater or less degree from . large area of the earth's surface. per-

GROWING CHILDREN.
The Period When the Nervous Activity
 Is At It's Greatest.
A medical Journal says.

medical Journal says.
 Against the practice of giving tea and coffee to children, we cannot speak too strongly.
 Childhood Is the period when the nervous activity Is at its greatest. The brain Is ever busy receiving new im- pressions.
 Reflex action, coordination of mus cles. and the special senses are all un- der special course of training The nervous system is pushed to it's ut most capacity. and long is the list of victims that follow its over-stimu ula- tion. In these little people. nothing but harm can come from the use of such articles as tea or coffee.
 Bad, then. as this practice is, let us as physicians be aggressive in its pro- hibition. Do not be satisfied by ans wering "No.' when asked as to its use. but let us teach the families with whom we come in contact that such practice Is evil. We speak emphatical- ly. because not only among the poor and uneducated. but among the rich. who should know better. this practice is marvelously prevalent"
 A man who tried Postum Food Coffee, said that 1t might be solid nourish- ment, but he didn't like its taste. He had not discovered the secret of making delicious Postum After boiling com mences, allow 1t to boil full 15 min utes. Not simply to put it on the stove for 15 minutes. but count the fit- teen minutes after boiling commences. That brings out the food value and the delicious favour. It certainly does make the children bright and healthy. and has proven a Godsend to many an adult whose daily ails were not un- derstood until Postum was used in place of Coffee. There's Reason" Postum properly made has a coffee taste similar to the mild, high grade Javas. Read the little health classic. .aThe Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

 Already. though 1t may be hard to realizs, $ miles of grading is finished and ready for the ties and rails, and certain 1t is that, by the time the Jeauie arrives, there will be twelve miles of the road graded.

tent disappears down the road toward
the town of the next days stopping.
Tho cook tent reaches it's destination
early in the night-twenty to twenty
five miles is the average daily jump of
n wagon show-and ali is Put in readi-
ness for the serving OF early breakfast
the mex morning.
At s o'clock the performance in the
big tent begins, M the crowds which
have stood open-mouthed before the
cages in the menaSerie tent rush to
their seats to see the big show. I'M
mediately the work Of demolishing the
menagerie tent is begun. The animals
are fed. then the sides are put on their
cages, the horses are hftched up, -four
to each den or cage, and across coun-
try, accompanied by a route finder, the
~menagerie, making up the first main
section of the show, starts in the wake
of the c~ookhOuse.
This route finder is an important per-
sonage in the circus; it is his business
to scout ahead, ascertain the best
| roads, and by laying laths down at the
intersections and Emergencies disclose
the route to the wagons that follow
him. o.,
The ~menagerie section comes up to the
cook tent some time during the night
and camps until morning.
At u o'clock, as a rule, the baggage
train takes up its start. The big show
is over, the tent has been struck, the
stakes a been pulled, the %parapher-
| MALTA has been packed in wagons, the
| people have zone to bed, but while
they sleep, with a merry, ringing chorus
of ~'Yo-heave-o, st. Louis, Kansas City,

the home of every roustabout sung In
a long drawn out chant, the circus has
been torn down and packed up ready
for transportation.
Midnight strikes in the city, and the
man who saw the circus dreams Of the
queen in pink tights and the fairy in
gli1tering spangles, but the wagons

abouts snatch what little sleep they
can as the wagons topple back and
forth and the horses pull and plunge.
In the meantime, what of the span

They are sleeping the sleep of the
lust in the best hotels the town affords.
That is one reason why the average
circus performers would rather travel
with a wagon show than a railroad
show. After the night performance of
a railroad show. he or she must wend
their weary way to the train, hunt for
it in an interminable tangle of tracks,
and seek what repose they can in
crowded hunks as the car is switched
around or pounds over the rails. But
