  Years-One From This City.

Years-One From This City.
 A Middletown dispatch says: Fifty years ago the four Kilbourn sisters Mary, Lucy, Eliza and Sopha-were well known in East Hartford. After marriage they separated, Eliza (Mrs. Charles Andrews) and Sophia (Mrs. Henry Buttricks) living in New Haven, Mary (Mrs. George Nelson) in Leba- non, and Lucy (Mrs. Nelson Taylor) in Portland and Middletown.
 "A week before Mary's wedding Mrs. Taylor was with her, but from that day forty-fve years ago the two had not met, though living but twenty miles apart. There was no quarrel UT ill- feeling, but family cares kept them at home, and, although they kept up a correspondence, they did not meet.
 "At birthday party last week the three sisters decided to give Lucy q surprise by taking Mary to call on her at her home in this city, where she lives with her daughter, Mrs Daniel P. Bradley.
 When the party entered Mrs. Tay- lors room she did not recognize Mary until told who she was, so great were the changes since they met. Mrs. Tay- Tor was eighty years old on April 22 Mary was seventy years old last week Both have children who have visited occasionally. which renders the long parting the more strange

EXTENSION DELAYED.
APPEALS FROM AWARDS
Crown Street Retarded by Property Holders Who
 Want Damages.

With Friday as the last day for ap- peal from the award of damages in connection with the extension of Crown street and the widening of Grand ave- nue, there are already two appeals for increases in connection with the Grown street work, which will delay the com mencement thereof until next fall, at
 least. Edward r. Bishop and Freder- ick c. Bishop have filed an appeal with the city on the ground that the award of $42,S04.16 made to them is made quate and they name $75.000 as a req sonable compensation for their prop lerty in State street, which will be talk en in entirety.
 The appeal is set for the September term of the superior court, and as il has the effect of stopping the com Imencement of work completely, thi: means that work on extending CrowT street cannot be commenced until latt 1 in September, anyway. It had beer l intended to commence work at once ! there were no appeals.

 of Crown street and consists of q 10

Tin EilIad Taath.

"Do you know that tooth is filled with tiu?" asked the dentist, tapping one of his patients molars with his little pick.
 sIndeed l do. That was filled years ago by country dentist, and 1t is the best filling I have ever had put in q tooth"
 "Of course if Is. It is pity more people do not know that fact. The only trouble is that tin is so hard to manipulate it costs more than gold filling, and people win not pay the price for anything which sounds so cheap as tin. I have one customer, though, who is educated. He is q Wall street broker, and he will not let me put any other kind of filling into his teeth except tin. He pays me S29 an hour and let's me take all the time that is necessary. It is not so expen- sive as it seems at first, however, for once in tin filling never has to be renewed, whereas gold often does = New York Press.

The Oldest Book.

The oldest book in the world to which positive date can be assigned is an assortment of proverbs some what after the style of the proverbs collected by Solomon. The work is ac- credited to Ptah-hotep, an Egyptian king, and Psychologists assign to 1t an antiquity of at least 300 B. C., Abra- ham was called to leave his home in UT of the Chaldees 1921 B. C., so that this volume was written HOO years before the beginning of Jewish histo- ry The deluge is placed by most chro- nologists at B. c. 234S, so the book, it its dating is correct, must have been written before the flood. Methuselah was born B. c. 3317, so that this papy rus was prepared and these proverbs were collected when the oldest man on record was a lively young fellow oi 300 years.

rhn Raht For the Missouri,

. The eccentric and variable Mi5sourl river has "a personal friend' in George Fitch, who declares in the American Magazine that the stream is nayigahle enough if only the steamboats would conform to its peculiarities. "Ihe Mis- souri river steamboat" says MT. Fitch, should be shallow, 1.-the, deep chested and exceedingly strong in the stern wheel. It should be hinged in the middle and should be fitted with a suction dredge, so that when 1t cannot climb over sand bar it can assimiate it. The Missouri river steamboat 1 should be able to make use of chan neI. but should not have to depend up on 1t.

She Got Wise.

A Laramie woman went to the the" ater the other night with some friends, but when they were seated she was separated from her friends by man and woman who seemed to pay no at. tention to each other. The woman figured out that if the two people would sit over seat she could sit with her friends, Braclng up her nerve, she said sweetly to the man, Beg pardon, are you here aloneT The man stared at the curtain as if he were drawing salary for it.

Togo sailed through the air much like fly ing squirrel, alighted in the soft midst of a flower bed and then mounted the fence and put his enemy to flight
 Togo permitted himself to be carried upstairs and petted, Later Veterinari an Mulvery thumped Togo from hea( to foot and found nary scratch.

THE AMERICAN HABIT
one in Everv Three Afrected.

Of the 75,000,O0O people in the United States, st is estimated that 2500O,O00, or one In every three, is partially disabled from a broken down nervous system. America is the greatest consumer of coffee in the world. Can you draw the correct inference from these two facts? Many a person will eXclaim. Non sense!" It is easy for any thoughtless person to jump at conclusion that a philosopher would study carefully over before reaching. Think of the mem- bers of your own family. How many of them are perfectly and completely well in every respect? How many of your friends are perfectly healthy. In- quire of them and you will be surprised to learn that the average of one in every three, who are sick, in the main, stands true. Health depends, prlmar- fly, upon a perfectly poised nervous organization, and the greatest enemy to the nervous sytsem is coffee. Its active principle is caffeine, which is a pronounced nerve destroyer. The action is, at first, to attack the stomach then the pneumogastric nerve which lies behind the stomach and which is di- reotly connected with the brain.
 The disordered condition passes thence from the brain to all parts of the body, and in some it will show in trepidation (well-known nervous con- dition); in others this is hidden, but the work goes on from day to day, until the accumulation of forces cli- maxes in some organic disease. It may be the kidneys become affected and Brights disease sets up, it may be weak eyes, may be catarrh, stomach trouble, palpitation and heart failure, (which is becoming more and more no- ticeable among Americans.)
 Somewhere, you may depend upon it. this work will show forth in the form of disease. It may become so fixed and chronic that it can not be thrown off It is hard to induce man or a woman to give up coffee when they have be- come addicted to it's use, but if sucf people can be given Postum Food Cof. fee, they will quickly change for the better, for the food drink, when prop. erly made, has the color and the deli cious, toothsome flavor of old govern. ment Java or the milder ana nlghel priced grades.
 The work of reorganization begins a once, for the tearing down element O coffee has been eliminated, and in it place the strong rebuilding effects O the clements contained in Postum, g, directly to work to rebuild the broken down and delicate gray matter in tn nerve centres and brain, This is jus plain, old-fashioned common-sense tha any thoughtful person can make us of; in fact, hundreds of thousands O brain workers in America have alread discovered the fact and are using Pos tum Food Coffee, to their very grea benefit and relief.

Not Always the Prosperous is the
 Quick Giver

One cold night recently, as the tired
 workers were travelling homeward at 6 o'clock, a small boy, very thinly clad, stood at the corner of Court and State streets, selling papers. He shivered so much that his chattering teeth made his words almost unintelllgible. A rich and well-known citizen, who brides himself on his goodness, came along and asked the shiverer if he had a copy of certain weekly paper. The reply was to the effect that he did not have

The Greatest Warships In the World.
 Congress at the last session author ized the construction of two 10000 ton battleships. Full details of the plans and specifications are not given to the public, but it is known that they will be twin vessels, more formidable than the British Dreadnought and with a speed of q knots.

Owing to modern methods of living not one woman in a thousand ap- breaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing train of very annoying and sometimes painful symptoms.
 This is the most critical period of her whole existence and every woman who neglects the care of her health at this time invites disease and pain.
 When her system is in deranged condition or she is predisposed to apoplexy or congestion of any organ, the tendency is at this per 1 o q likely to become active and with a host of nervous irritations make life a burden. At this time also cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work.
 Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, backaches, melancholia, dread of i'm pending evil, palpitation of the heart irregularities, constipation and dizzi ness arc promptly needed by intel ligent women who are approaching the period of life when this great change may be expected.
