cause some on eridicules or opposes you.
A man who has opinions of his own and
the courage to advocate them will be
sure to have opinions; but just keep
right ahead if your cause is right and
your conscience clear. Don't worry
about what other people say: life is too
short for that Some will abuse YOU
through envy, others for the want of
principle and some because they honest
ly differ from you; but ifyou keep right
on openly, manfully and intelligently
and with your proper dignity of charac-
ter, honesty of purpose and self-respect
those who differ from you will respect
your opinions
Talking of intemperance, did you ever

who have never personally experienced
that awful havoc wrought in the family
circle by dissipated sons. Nlnety-nine

habit before they are of legal age-when
1t is a crime to either sell or give them
the stuff. If all men would resolve. at
this critical period, that the man who
put the bottle to their SON 5 lips should
suffer the consequences the result would
be be more gratifying. But so long as
parents are Indifferent present condi-
tions will continue.

COSTLY PRESSURE.

Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee.
A resident Of a great western State
puts the case regarding stimulants with
a comprehensive brevity that is admir-
able. He says:
Il am SO years old and have had
considerable experience with stimu-
Iants. They are all alike-a mortgage
on reserved energy at ruinous interest
As the whip stimulates but does not
strengthen the horse, so do stimulants
act upon the human system. Feeling
this way, 1 gave up coffee and all other
stimulants and began the use of Post
UNI Food coffee some months ago. The
beneficial results have been apparent
from the first. The rheumatism that I
used to suffer from has left me, sleep
sounder, my nerves are steadier and
my brain clearer. And l bear testi-
mony also to the food value Of Postum
something that is lacking in coffee"

LooIzs Like a Rose Thorn,


Protective resemblance, protective
colOration or whatever name may be
given to the deception which is prac-
ticed by one branch Of zoology upon
another is to the naturalist at all times
a most fascinating study. The green
caterpillar in the country hedges, the
moth repOsing on the tree trunk, the
fat fish on the sandy bottom and the
stick insect on the barren twig pro-
vide in q lesser or greater degree re-
markable illustrations by one Of the
wisest of Dame Natures provisions
against the risk of determination.
In some cases the protective resem-
blance serves a double purpose. 1t is
protective in that it affords conceal
ment from the enemy and aggressive
because per contra the victim can ap-
proach without fear.
One of the most remarkable, perhaps,
is the little South American insect
which bears so striking a resemblance
to the ordinary rose thorn as often to
deceive the most practiced eye. How it
discovered in the first instance it's sim
ilarity to a prickly thorn or how, hav-
ing made the discovery, it decided to
use it as a means of protection against
it's natural enemies is one Of the ma
lures profoundeSt riddles.

er, "have you any strictly fresh eggs?"
Il have about two dozen, Mr.. Copha-
gus" answered the grocer. that have
been saving for myself, but If you want a
few / will let you have them. They will
cost you"
Here he whispered in his ear.
That's all right, Mr.. Breddin," said
the customer, pale, but calm, as he scrib-
bled something on a sheet of wrapping
paper. ''Send a dozen to that address, if
you please. l am going to see that one
poor family in this great city has a bright

Filling out check for the amount, he
passed it over, tilted his hat a little to
one side, and walked out of the store with
that inner glow that comes from a con-
seriousness of a noble deed nobly done.-

What mGrocer,, Means.

Not the least surprising discovery an
Englishman of the Plantagenet period
would make, if he could visit the gro
GERS exhibition at the agricultural hall,
would be that there is such a person
as a "retail grocer" retail grocer
is as impossible, according to strict
etyGnOlogy, as a weekly journal" since
a grocer" or "grosser," as it used to
be spelled, is really a trader sin
gross''-that is to say, in large guam
titles, wholesale. Our ancestors spoke
of "grossers Of fish, and "grossers of
wine," and an act Of Edward III. ex-
pressly mentions that "grossers" dealt
in all manner of goods. In those days
"spicer'' was the word used for "gro-
cer'' in the modern sense. But it hap
pened that the Grocers' company,
founded in the fourteenth century,
specialized in spicery, and so grocer
gradually took the place Of "spicer."-
