The Peaceful Joy of the River.

An ingenious Spaniard says that rivers and the inhabitants of the Wa tery element were made for wise men to contemplate and fools to pass by without consideration" And though l will not rank myself in the number of the first. yet give me leave to free myself from the last, by offering to you short contemplation, first of riv- CTS, and then of fish; concerning which l doubt not but to give you many observations that will appear very considerable; am sure they have appeared so to me, and made many an hour pass away more pleasantly. as have sat quietly on flowery bank by calm river-Isaac Walton.

GONE TO THE DEVIL.
London Inn Responsible for Origin of
 Common Saying.

The old inns of England have been \ responsible for the origin of many c1smon sayings. An instance of this is the proverbial phrase He has gone to the devil" On Fleet street London, near Temple Bar, was once a tavern which was known by the strict. ly ld-fashioned name, The Devil and Saint Dunstan." It was famous for it's good dinners and excellent wines, and received a large patronage from the lawyers of Temple Bar
 It was familiarly known as The Devil and when a lawyer left his office to go there he usually left a no tice on his door, Gone to the Devil" There were some who patronized the tavern to the neglect of their business, and the notice was so regularly exhib- tied on their doors that it finally came to be used to characterize the man who was losing his grip and going tc destruction.-The Sunday Magazine.

FOUND OUT.
A Trained Nurse Made Discovery,

No one is in better position to know the value of food and drink than a trained nurse.
 Speaking of coffee, nurse of Wilkes Barre, Pa, writes: T used to drink strong coffee myself, and suffered greatly from headaches and indiges- tion. While on visit to my brothers had good chance to try Postum Food Coffee, for they drank it alto. gether in place of ordinary coffee. In two weeks after using Postum I found was much benefited and finally my headaches disappeared and also the indigestion.
 Naturally have since used Postum among my patients, and have noticed B marked benefit where coffee has been left off and Postum used.
 T observed a curious fact about Postum when useti among mothers. IL greatly helps the flow of milk in cases where coffee is inclined to dry 1t up, fnd where tea causes nervousness.
 T find trouble in getting servants to make Postum properly. They most always serve it before it has been boiled long enough. It should be boiled b to 20 minutes after boiling begins and served with cream. when 1t Is cer- tainly a delicious beverage" Read The Road to Melville" in pkgs There's a Reason"
