"a KNOCKER. -
Found on Many Tables.

People will "slug" themselves with coffee and
the trouble coffee produces, but they keep on
drinking coffee and making new trouble right
along. That is, some people do. There are
thoughtful people however, and their number
is increasing every month. who prefer good,
sturdy health TO sickness, and they leave off
coffee because il contains a drug-caffeine-tha
produces disease.
Many people have to learn by hard knocks,
that this is true and they get the knocks all
right if they stick to coffee.

Mr.. METC4LF RETURNS.
Says Pacific Trip of Fleet Is q Dead
Issue.

Washington. Sept 13.-Secretary Metcalf re-
turned to Washington to-day after being absent
since June 20. when he left the capital for Cali
fornia, where he announced the cruise OF the At
lantic battleship fleet 10 the Pacific. He referred
TO the trip dead issue" and said he had
been out Of touch with the Navy Department so
long that more details had been made public here
than had been communicated to him OF the
japanese question he said he had heard too much.
Mr.. Metcalf made a number Of observations Of
Importance in connection with the visit Of the
fleet TO the Pacific He found that while the gov
ernment has only dock the Pacific side
that IS capable Of taking In battleship there are
a number of private docks that might be available
II needed There are two at San Francisco The
only government dock IS at Bremerton. and this
location It is believed. makes It likely that the
entire fleet may go far north as Puget Sound
before returning to Atlantic waters. Secretary
Metcalf said there Is water enough at Rremerton
take in the entire feet at one time
He declined to comment on the causes of the
assault on coolies on the coast. and would make
no COMPARISONS between the situations at San
Francisco. where the japanese were assaulted, and
cities Of Washington and British Columbia. where
the nresence Of the Skhs melted white laborers
to violence The labor question on the Coast Is
bacon,T,g more serious every day. he said. and the
navy Yards at Island and Bremerton are
working far under their capacity by reason OF the
labor famine He said that in the West farm hands
are being paid as high as s. day. The trans
norta+Ion question also was found to be serious
He said the railroads cannot begin 10 haui the
crops. and passenger traffic Is heavy
There are a number Of important matters IN
the Navy Department awaiting Mr.. Metcalrs at
tention Among them the contracts for new
submarines and torpedo boats. He may delay MS
report on his trip the Coast until the President
returns to Washington.

Innnest year on Renord :

The year B. G. 4G, by order of Julius
Caesar, the then reigning Roman en-
peror, contained AS days. To clear
away all the confusion which had pre-
viously existed in reconciling the lunar
with the solar year, Caesar, with the
help of Sosigenes, an AleXandrian as
tronomer, undertook a thorough reform
of the calendar. He effected it by
making the year now called 46 B. c.,
''the year of confusion" consist Of 445
days and the succeeding years of 800
days, with the exception Of every
fourth year, which was to consist of
366. This method is called the Julian
calendar.
The number of days in the months
from January to December before
Caesars time had been respectively %,
%, 81, 20, 81, 20, 81, %, %, 81, %, %.
These numbers Caesar changed to 81
and 80 alternately, with the exception
of February, which was to have 20 in
ordinary years and 80 in leap years.
In honor of himself he changed to
July the name of the month that fol-
lowed June. The pontiffs in applying
the Julian calendar went wrong by in
sorting leap year every three years in
stead of every four years, and this
continued till the year now called 8
3. c., when the Emperor Augustus
ordained there should be no leap year
for twelve years, which made leap
year occur in A. D. At the same
time Augustus gave his own name to
the month following July, adding one
day to it, which he took away from
February

Character In the Eyebrows.

An arched eyebrow does not indicate
the highest order of intelligence, but
is expressive of great sensibility.
Scant growth of the eyebrows denotes
lack of vitality. On the contrary,
heavy, thick eyebrows indicate a
strong constitution and great physical
endurance. They are not beautiful on
a woman's face, however much they
may signify either mental or bodily
Figor, and when they are not only
heavy, but droop and meet at the nose,
they are disagreeable and are said to
accompany an inSincere and prying
nature. Long, dropping eyebrows, ly-
ing wide apart, indicate an amiable
disposition. Where the eyebrows are
lighter In color than the hair the indi-
cations are lack of vitality and great
sensitiveness.
Family defined eyebrows placed high
above the nose are signs of Incidence
and weakness. Very black eyebrows
give the face an intense and searching
expression. When natural. they ac-
company a passionate temperament.
Very light eyebrows rarely are seen on
strongly intellectual faces, although
the color of the eyebrows is not ac-
cepted simply as denoting lack of in
telligence. The form gives the key
to the faculties and their direction.
Red eyebrows denote great fervor and
ambition; brown, medium between
the red and k.-Exchange.

carameis like the ones you brought me
yesterday" seriously.
She was silent a moment, evidently
evolving new thought
81 have such lovely PLAN" she CUR
gled. I've decided not to be your
wife. I'd rather have a favver. It's
been~such a long time since I had any
favyer"
Drayton caught her up in his arms
Sweetheart, you are the dearest little
girl father ever had" and his eyes
were moist.
When the room had been admired,
and the picture of Princess Goldilocks
kissed fervently, and the housekeeper
had given her a cream puff, they went
back to the garden.
A slender girl in the other garden
ran to the dividing hedge
"Oh, Louise, mamma has been so
very uneasy about you! Where have
you been, dearie?"
I'm afraid it's my fault" Drayton
said contritely Il took her to look at
some pictures. and we forgot the
time"
The child held on to his fingers i'm
pulsiyely. "Oh, mamma. this is my
new papa You are doing to marry
him at once, and we are doing to live
in his house. You know you said his
garden was ever so much prettier than
ours"
Tho 11o,nop,S foca vivid crimson,
looked into the embarrassed face of
her neighbor Finally a twinkle came
into her eyes, and a dimple wavered
near the corner of her mouth.
He saw the twinkle and thought it
and the dimple the most fascinating
combination he had ever seen.
"I'd be glad to come over and ar
range the details with you at your
earliest convenience" he suggested
audaciously.
Mamma, do marry him, please
please dor begged the child Mamma,
he'll bring you lovely caramels."
''Win you really?' the mother
laughed
Pounds of 'em!" emphatically. May
1 come over soon and get acquainted p
he begged.
She looked at his we'll cut features
and saw the frank admiration in his
eyes.
81 suppose it's proper, Mr.. Drayton
You see, 1 know your sister"
"Then I'm coming over this evening
and sit on your front porch. If you
know my sister, you'd be greatly lack
ing in hospitality if you didn't let me
call"
81 would hate to seem inhospitable. :"
There was a note of shyness in her
voice.
He reached over the hedge and put
the child in her mothers arms. She
put her plump little arms around his
neck in an overflow of affection.
"Goodby, favver," she said.
"Goodby, baby" he called after her,
and as the mother went toward the
house in the gathering twilight she
was suddenly conscious of the lowell
ness of the rose garden and the scent
of the roses in the air and that in her
heart there was a tiny new feeling,
warm and tender
