wife Made the Suggestion.


A grocer has excellent opportunity to
know the effects Of special foods on
his customers. A Cleveland grocer has
a long list of customers that have been
helped in health by leaving off coffee
and using Postum Food Coffee.
He says, regarding his own expert
ence: 1.-TWO years ago 1 had been
drinking coffee and must say that /
was almost wrecked in my nerves.
Particularly in the morning l was
so irritable and upset that 1 could
hardly wait until the coffee was serv-
ed, and then l had no appetite for
breakfast and did not feel like attend
ing to my store duties.
Zone day my wife suggested that
inasmuch as | was selling so much
Postum there must be some merit in it
and suggested that we try it, l took
home a package and she prepared it ac-
cording to directions. The result was
a very happy one. My nervousness
gradually disappeared and to-day l am
all right. 1 would advise everyone
affected in any way with nervousness
or stomach troubles, to leave off coffee
and use Postum Food Coffee" There's

A Eight in the Air.

A cat stands pretty good chance IN
its battle with the world. 1t never
feels called upon to sacrifice its COM
fort, it has a faculty of falling on
its feet, it possesses the traditional
nine lives to dispose of, and let it once
face an enemy, wo betide the unlucky
foe. Mr.. w. e. Webb, the author of
Buffalo Land" tells this story:
The chicken-hawk of the West is a
savage and dangerous enemy, but once
one of these air pirates got worsted.
1 was sitting in front of the doctors
office when a hawk shot down with
wonderful rapidity of wing, so fast
that its shadow seemed hardly to reach
the earth before its body. 1t bounced
upon the doctors favorite kitten, which
lay asleep on the grass, and made off
with it.
At an elevation of about fifty feet
puss recovered from it's surprise, and
went to work for liberty. It's feline
mind was exercised to establishment
and wrath. Twisting like a weasel,
its claws came uppermost, and to my
straining gaze a sight presented itself
much like a feather bed being ripped
open in mid-air.
The amazed hawk received new light
on the subject Of prey, let go, and made
off like badly plucked goose, but the
at came safely to earth-on its feet.

Sport for the Gods.

Sport for the gods! Who else flies
over a sleeping world, through space,
and knows the joy Of motion without
movement, without sound, without eff
fort? says a writer in the Century.
Our Roman Aero Club is only three
years old, and was instituted by no
less a parsonage than her majesty,
Queen Margherita Of Italy. 1t had its
inspiration from the military balloon
brigade-the brigata specialist Of the
royal engineers, a very up-to-date
corps, who were the first to make and
patent aluminium painted balloons.
Now nearly every day in spring these
lovely silver spheres float off over the
CaInpagna, looking like the dome of
st. Peters let loose.
Soon after,I had become a member
OF the club made my first trip, TAX
Ing an enchanting flight, sometimes ris-
ing over 5000 feet, and then sinking
swiftly to earth, to taste the thrilling
JOY of rapid travel on the guide rope
across the most fragrant and beautiful
land know. The strange sense Of
being diSembodied, of fight without
movement, of rapid travel, of motion
less suspension in midheaven, of sol
emn silence, without oppression, makes
new environment for the heart of
man.

q. L Harris, United States consul at

on conditions In Asia Minor, and in
regard to electricity, says: 'The city

trio light or telephone. There are cities
all over Asia Minor varying in size
from 10000 to $4,000 inhabitants where
there are opportunities of getting con-
cessions for electric light and trac-

this field with the excuse that moth

Origin OF Two Familiar Proverbs,
1t was the habit of the great Greek
painter Apelles never to let a day pass,
however busy he CHANGED to be, with
out practicing his hand by tracing the
outline of some object, a custom
Which has now passed into a proverb-
mo day without a line." He also
made it a rule, when he had finished
a canvas, to exhibit it to the view of
those who visited his studio, while he
himself, hidden behind the picture,
would listen to their comments. 1t is
said that once a shoemaker censured
him for having painted a pair of shoes
with one latchet too few. Next day
the shoemaker, revisiting the studio,
saw that the painter had corrected the
mistake. He then began to criticise
the leg of the portrait, upon which
Apelles came forward and reminded
him that a shoemaker should not go
beyond the shoes, a piece of advice
which has also crystallized into a
pccverb, "Let the cobbler stick to his
last. "-Pliny the Elder.

Ballad of Trees and the Master.
Into the woods my Master went,
Clean forspent, forspent.
Into the woods my Master came,
Forspent with love and shame.
But the olives they were not blind to
Him;
The little gray leaves were kind TO Him ;
The thorn tree had mind to Him
When into the woods he came.
Out of the woods my Master went,
And He was we'll content.
Out OF the woods my Master came,
Content with death and shame.
When death and shame would WOO Him
last,
From under the trees they drew Him
last,
Twas on a tree they slew Him last,
When out of the woods He came.

So, Lady Flora, take my lay,
And if you find no moral there,
Go, look in any glass and say,
What moral is in being fair.

The wildweed-fower that simply blows
And is there any moral shut
Within the bosom of the rose?
But any man that walks the mead,
In bud or blade, or bloom, may find,
According as his humors lead,
A meaning suited to his mind.

In Art like Nature, dearest friend;
So 'twere to cramp its use, if
Should hook it to some useful end.

MRS.NELLIE MAKHAM

A nervous irritable woman, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is source of
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence, and unhappy and mis-
cradle herself.
Such women not only drive nus
bands from home but are wholly unfit
to govern children.
The ills of women act like fire
brand upon the nerves, consequently
seven-tenths of the nervous prostra-
ton, nervous dependency, t b g
blues, sleeplessness, and nervous
irritability of women arise from some
organic arrangement.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness alternating with ex-
IRENE irritability ? Do you suffer
from pains in the abdominal region,
backache, bearing down pains,nervous
dyspepsia, s1eeplessness, and almost
continually cross and snappy? If so,
your nerves are in a shattered con-
dition and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
