COSTLY PRESSURE.
Heart and Nerves Fall on Coffee.

A resident of a great western state
puts the case regarding stimulants
with a comprehensive brevity that is
admirable. He says:
Il am Sc years old and have had con-
siderable experience with stimulants.
They are all alike-a mortgage on re-
served 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, / gave up coffee and all
other stimulants and began the use Of
Postum Food coffee some months ago.
The beneficial results have been ap-
parent from the first. The rheumatism
that used to suffer from has left me.

Always to Be Depended Upon.

When person gets up in the morn
ing with dull headache and a tired,
stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain
indication that the liver, or bowels,
or both, are decidedly out of order.
At such times Nature, the wisest
and best of doctors, takes this means
to give warning that she needs the
help and gentle assistance which can
best be obtained from that old fam
lily remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which
has been in use for over century.
They are the same fine laxative
tonic pill your grandparents used
when doctors were few and far be-
tween, and when people had to have
a remedy that could absolutely be de-
pended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended
upon, and are sold in every drug and
medicine store, plain or sugar-coated.

MEN STILL LIVE IN CAVES.
Troglodytic Villages Are Found In
Northern Africa.

Grottoes and caverns are used more
or less as shelters by primitive peo-
pies and thus inhabited caves are Of
course most frequent in Africa. A con-
siderable number of natives make
their homes in caves along the south
ern shore of the Strait of Gibraltar
and in some Of those caves are found
the polished stones and arrow heads
of the stone age. Troglodyte villages
are frequent in the Tebessa territory
of Algeria, one of which, at Djeurf,
ESQ feet above the gorge Of the Wadi
Hallail, is reached by steps cut in the
rock
The inhabitants of the Tunisian
Island of Galite are cave dwellers,
their habitations being grottoes which
they have dug out of the limestone, or
ancient burial caverns that they have
enlarged. The subterranean villages Of
Matmata and of Medennie, hewn out
Of the rock, are in southern Tunisia.
A Christian monastery built under
ground in the twelfth century still ex-
lists at Goba, Abyssinia. The enor-
NOUS cavern discovered several years
ago within two hours walk Of the port
of Tanga, in German East Africa, con-
tains rooms the roofs of which are
from 12O to 250 feet above the floor.
Only few OF these vast chambers
have yet been explored, for the entire
cavern seems to be inhabited by mil
lions Of bats. One Of these killed

Makes Great Gains.

Cheering news comes to hand OF
the progress in Japan. Bishop Har.
ris, who has charge of the American
Methodist Missions in Korea and
Japan, says that during the recent
war the churches made great gains
in membership, and that they are
now unusually active in evangelistic
efforts. AS regards audiences minis
tiers of churches, baptisms, and the
circulation of the Scriptures, things
have not been so bright for a long
time; and the gospel Is receiving a
better hearing than at any period
since its Introduction d generation
ago. Another very healthy feature
of Japanese Christianity reported by
the Record Of Christian Work, is the
steady progress towards independ-
ence of foreign aid. In a short time
it is hoped that the Japanese
churches will be self-sustaining, and
even become missionaries, sending
out native teachers to China and
Korea

METAL IN PLACE OF COPPER.
Aluminium and Sodium, However, Are
Not Wholly Satisfactory.

The high price of copper has for
years inspired search for something
which would serve equally well as a
conductor of electricity, but would be
cheaper. To limited extent alumni
um has been utilized for this purpose,
but it is not an altogether satisfactory
substitute. 1t now appears that the
feasibility Of employing sodium has
been under consideration. Bulk for
bulk, sodium weighs only one-ninth
as much as copper Its conductiyity

pound of sodium would render three

sive article, because there is little de-
mand for it. 1t Is alleged, however,
that If manufactured on large scale
ft could be produced for 71s cents a
pound, or less than half the price now
paid for copper. Apparently, then, the
work Of carrying an electric current
Times-promoter., 1907-01-18

could be done with sodium at one-sixth
the cost of doing 1t with copper.
When the readers expectations
have thus been raised to a high pitch
his eyes are opened to the embarrass~
ments that would beset the use of
this particular substitute. In the first
place, sodium is SO soft a metal that
it can readily be cut with a knife.
Hence it is hardly suited for the MAX
ing of telegraph, telephone or trolley
wires. Again, it is extremely COM
bustible. A piece Of 1t thrown into a
dish of water will take fire. Here is
an additional reason for not stringing
it near buildings in public streets AL
ready there are too many fires from
defective electric equipment to pelase
the underwriters, and it would be folly
to increase the number.
Nevertheless, both this and the 9TH.
er difficulty might be overcome by
inclosing the sodium in an iron tube
and putting it underground. Used in
that manner 1t might furnish a, con-
venient and safe means of transmit
ting current from the main power
houses to the substations Of an cleo
trio road, 1t has also been suggested

Surgery Without Scars.

Scarless surgery is numbered among
the most recent achievements In medi.
cal science 1t is explained that in
making the first incision the scalpel
does not cut the skin at right angles
with the surface, but passes through
it at slant,
After the operation is performed a
rigid dressing Of wool and glass Is
applied to prevent contraction and as
much pressure is brought to bear on
the wound as is safe. According to

fame OF him and all that he did in
Egypt, and all that he did to the
two kings of the Amorites that were
beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of
Hesbon, and Og king of Bashan,
which was at Ashtaroth. Wherefore
our elders and all the inhabitants
spake to us, saying: Take victuals
with you for the journey, and go to
meet them, and say unto them: We
are your servants. Therefore now
make league with u.s."
Nay" interrupted Joshua, "but
how do we know that ye have come
from far country"
Dramatically they turned, and lift
ing the covers from their provision
baskets, they said:
Behold the evidence of our long
journey. See this our bread we took
hot out of the ovens ON the day we
came forth to come hither, and behold
now 1t is dry and moldy. See these
bottles of wine! When they were
filed as we started they were new,
and behold, now they be rent. And
behold our. garments and our shoes,
for they have become old and ragged
by reason of the very long journey"
Such seemingly indisputable evi-
dence quickly swept away all doubt
from the minds of the men who stood
with Joshua, and they persuaded him
that It would be well at once to make
league with these people.
Joshua therefore made peace with
them, and made league with them to
let them live. And the men gathered
with him, the princes of the congrega-
ton, ratified the league.
During all this time the people of
Israel were talking one with another
concerning the coming of these
strangers, and as they saw them depart
and learned that league had been
made with them, they selected some
of their number to follow these men,
thing which had not occurred to
Joshua or to the princes with him
to do.
AS result on the third day when
these men returned they reported that
the strangers had dealt with them de.
ceitfully and had not come from a
far country, but were really their
neighbors living only short distance
from Gilgal And they were wroth
with Joshua and the princes for max
ing the league and were for going at
once against the Gibeonites, for, said
they: There is rich spoil in their
cities which should be ours" But
Joshua and the princes because of
their oath which had been given,
would not permit them so to do, but
made the Gibeonites servants, that
they would work for them continually.

French Presidents "pouble."

M. Fallieres was, until recently, be.
ieyed to be the only president Of the
French republic who had no double,
but his counterpart has been found.
The man who most resembles him
physically is respectable merchant
of the Rue Saint Honore, who plays
his part with decorum and dignity. He
wears exactly the same kind of blue
butterfly necktie with white dots as
the president, the same kind of hat
and exactly SO oddly cut beard. And
on his promenades he is always ac-
companied by friend who could cas-

vate secretary. Dignified and with
measured steps, the enviable double
walks through the Faubourg Saint
Honore and feels overjoyed at being

Best Trolley Wheels,

1t has now been settled without
question, says the Brass World, that
the best trolley wheels are those
which contain no lead. The constant
arching of the wheel and wire burns
out the lead and causes the wheel to
wear rapidly. II trolley wheel is
found which contains lead it is GER
tain that 1t will wear out rapidly. It
is very difficult to obtain scrap metals
on the market which do not contain
lead. For this reason trolley wheels

SERMON ETTE.

"And they asked not counsel

These words explain why Israel
failed to keep herself free from
unhoIy alliances, and it Is the
explanation of every misstep OF
the Christian to-day.
The world Is able to bann-
boozle the children of God be-
cause they look on the evidence
which the world submits, rather
than looking to God who giveth
wisdom to all men for the ask
ing.
To Israel the case seemed so
plain, suppose, that 1t seemed
positively silly to ask God about
it. Like the little boy who
prayed for the protection of
God only at night, because DUR
ing the day he could take care
of himself, so the lsraelites
thought that in the present stu
alton they needed naught but
their own judgment in deciding
their course of action.
And It was just when they
felt the wisest and most able to
take care of themselves that
the enemy turned the trick upon
them.
Life is full of mistakes and
tragedies because everybody
else and everything else is con-
suited rather than the source
of all light and all wisdom.
But how Is God to be consult
ed about everything2
BY subordination of the ner.
sonaI inclination and the con-
scious recognition of a higher
will and higher purpose than our
own.
BY diligent use OF our God
given powers, while at the same
time there is an appreciation of
the limitations of human wis
dom and Judgment.
BY the exercise of patience.
Take time to decide a point at
issue. A misstep Is taken
through haste which prevents a
clear reading of the sign-post at
the intersection of the ways.
BY the spirit of prayer per-
vading the life. Pray without
ceaslng is the ScripturaI admo-
milton. How? Surely not stay
ing on bended knee in the Sc
cret chamber and audible repe-
tition of words and phrases.
Surely not by going about with
closed eyes and mind absorbed :
in spiritual contempIations. Sure .
ly not by any outward cloak of :
sanctimoniousness. No. What .
then? Prayer is communion with
God. And that communion con- :
sists in the conscious and un.
conscious domination of God in I
the life. 1t marks the perpet-
ual attitude of the soul, so, that /
whether immersed in business :
for the time being, or what not, /
Gods spirit is operative in the :
life. This is prayer without :
ceasing.

packages of letters for transit through

that the Irvine called for much valu-

and that even the cutting of the Irvine

just that much.
