TRANSFORMATIONS
Curious Results When Coffee Drink
ing is Abandoned.

1t is almost as hard for an old
coffee topper to quit the use Of coffee
as It is for a whiskey or tobacco fiend
to break of, except that the coffee
user can quit coffee and take up
Postum without any feeling Of a loss
Of the morning beverage, for when
Postum is well boiled and served with
cream, 1t is really better in point Of
favour than most Of the coffee served
nowadays, and to the taste Of the con-
noisseur 1t is like the favour OF hne
mild Java.
A great transformation takes place
In the body within ten days or two
weeks after coffee is left OF and
Postum used, for the reason that the
poison to the Observation-Disclosures
been discontinued and in its place is
taken liquid food that contains the
most powerful elements Of nourish-
ment.
1t Is easy to make this test and
prove these statements by changing
from coffee to Postum. Read "The

KILLS BEAR WITH PENKNIFE.

Jay Bunch, of this city. had an ex-
perience last week that bids fair to
rival Roosevelt's coyote yarn. Bunch
is filer at Larkin Bros logging
camp on the Wishkah, and one day
last week with friend and several
dogs started out to find a bee tree.
They had not gone far when the
dogs started up a bear. Bruin took
refuge in the top of q tree, but waz
finally dislodged, and one OF the dogs
managed to get good hold on the
animals ear and hung there. Bunch
had no other weapon than a jack.
knife, but he got 1t in working order
and commenced the hand-to-hand bat.
tie. He struck the bear about forty
times, finally severing his jugular
vein, and Bruin, weak from loss OF
blood, gave up the fight. The bears
hide is literally punctured with holes
around the throat. The animal
weighed about 800 pounds.-Aber-

Plants With Brains.

Brains Of plant life are the tendrils.
Sensitive plants retract their leaflets
when people approach, as IL they re-
sented further intimacy. All vines
which develop climbing organs called
teDdrils will reach out toward us IL
we place our hands in contact with
them, and will even use a finger as a
support to climb on. These tendrils
will wind just as readily around a
twig or grass stem. Tendrils are
capable OF exhibiting faculties and
going through evolutlons more won
derful than perhaps is realized. With
their sensitive tips they test the OBJ
jects they come in contact with, ap-
parently considering their suitability
as a support, and then accepting or
rejecting them as the case may be.
The thoroughness with which these
tips do their work Is Illustrated by an
instance with a grape vine. A cherry
branch whose leaves had been vari-
ously punctured and scalluped by in
sects hung near the tendril and par
ticular leaf had just one hole in its
blade, not over three-sixteenths OF
an inch In diameter. So careful had
been the exploration of the leafs
surface that this one small hole had
been discovered by the tendril, which
had thrust itself nearly three inches
through the opening.-Chicago Tri-

The Oriqin of Gloves.

It Is not known when gloves we're
first Invented, but they are very anc-
lent. The first clear account of
them comes from Xenophon, where
the writer speaks of the Perslans
wearing them to protect their hands
from cold Homer describes Laer-
tes working in his garden with gloves
to protect his hands from thorns, and
Varro mentions the wearing of gloves
by the Romans Gloves have long
had symbolic meaning. In the
eleventh century came the custom of
throwing down a glove as a chal-
lenge, and gloves were early used in
church rites. They were not worn
by women until after the Reforma-
ton. In preparing the leather for
gloves it had to be "fulled" with a
peculiar kind of clay to lend it soft
ness and flexibility, and this was a
trade the secret of which was guard.
ed for many years. Tho men who
knew this trade were called fullers,
and thus the proper name Of Fuller

less centuries, combined with the
product of erosion carried seaward
by the rivers, the seabed for many
miles off shore has been gradually
hlled up, creating those vast, sub
merged plateaus, known as banks"
which extend from Labrador to the
Bay Of Fundy and form the breeding
grounds of innumerable shoals Of
cod, herring, and other valuable food
fishes. In this way the bergs have
performed an economic service of in

GIRL SAVES THREE BOYS.

or several heroic rescues which
were recorded in this State, together
with double drowning. the most
thrilling was the bravery of Miss
Lillian Vizay. ten years old, daughter
of the dancing instructor at West

York Press. Her quickness, endur-
ance and courage aroused the admira.
tion of expert swimmers, who say
that she did more than they would
dare attempt. Another woman ress
cued two persons from drowning In
Lake Geneva.
Miss Vizay had with her w. J.

her daring work. Both were SWIM
ming near shore when they heard
cries of "Help!" Of three young Chi
cago boys who had tried to swim
out to sand bar seventy yard: from

able to swim for several years and
who is remarkably expert swimmer,
started toward the three boys. Zim.

the danger of the boys, followed her.

were making for the sand bar one

One of the boys had sunk three
times, but Miss Vizay dived after him,
and, catching him by the back Of the
neck, hauled him quickly to the SUR
face Of the water. She swan in front
of the other two boys, shouting to
them to grab their comrade and "hold

two towed the three exhausted boys
ashore like string of fish.
Mrs. Mae Talbot, of Evanston, ILL.,,
who was formerly with Maude
Adams company, made two rescues
at Lake Geneva. She was enjoying
plunge In the lake when she heard
cries from Emil Larson, fifty-five
years old, who had got out beyond
his depth and was drowning. A boy
made an effort to rescue Larson, but
was pulled under the water. Mrs.
Talbot swan to the rescue and with
deftness seized the two persons In
such manner that in their frantic
struggles they could not pull her un-
derneath the water. She brought
them safely to shore In the after
noon she saw little girl named Lii
lian Rose drowning and she swan to
her assistance. Despite her bravery
Mrs. Talbot was modest.
The double drowning occurred on
the Chippeway River at Glidden.
Seven girls, including Emma Weden.
horst and Ella Jansen, went wading.
They struck bed of quicksand and
six of them were caught. The eldest
girl, who had seen such beds before,
managed to escape, and by desperate
efforts she brought four of the girls
out safe, after having worked them
free of the sands by keeping herself
afoat. The bodies of the two girls
named were recovered within five
minutes, but 1t was too late to resus-
citate them.
