NEW SPECIES.
Brown Zebras and BIack-Lined Ante
lopes Seen in Africa.

Intimation concerning two new
species of animals, indigenous to AT
RIGA, has been conveyed to Europe by
Mr.. j. E. Speares, who has been
spending several months in trapping
and hunting big game in Portuguese
East Africa in the regions surround
ing Lake Nangadi and the RovUna
River. One of these refers to new
type of zebra, whole herd of which
the hunter observed near by, but
specimen OF which he failed to secure.
Many members of this herd were
marked differently to the prevailing
type of this animal, the heads and
necks being brown, while the hind
quarters were striped in the conven-
tional manner peculiar to this quad
ruped When the natives were ques-
tened upon the point, they asserted
that they were a variety of zebra,
but that they were becoming very
scarce. Although the hunter pursued
the herd for several miles, owing to
their agility and timidity he was un
able to approach them closely. Upon
another occasion, however, he was
more fortunate and secured a closer
view Of the animal. It resembles the
zebra in shape, but the head neck,
fore-legs, and fore half of the body
were quite dark brown in color, the
hind part Of the body, including the
legs, being striped. He also discov-
cred peculiar type of antelope sim
liar in size and shape to the Boer roe
buck or impala, the distinctive differ
ence being black line down the
centre Of the back and on either hind
leg down to the foot When the ami
NAL Is startled it Immediately takes
to fight, the initial leap being fully
ten feet through the air. This species
Of antelope is essentially gregarious,
being found in herds ranging from
ten to fifty in number, and is ex.
ceedingly wild and active Mr.. Speares
also secured what is believed to be a
new species Of buck which is per-
fectly hornless, about as large as a
steenbuck and possessing a brilliant
red coat.-Scientifc American.

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: II used to
drink strong coffee myself and suf-
fered greatly from headaches and in
digestion. While on a visit to my
brothers I had a good chance to try
Postum Food Coffee, for they drank
it altogether in place of ordinary, cof-
fee. In two weeks after using Pos
tum I found I was much benefited,
and finally my headaches disappeared
and also the Indigestion.
Naturally I have since used Pos
tum among my patients, and have no.
ticed marked benefit where coffee
has been left off and Postum used.
Il observed a curious fact about
Postum when used among mothers.
It greatly helps the flow of milk in
cases where coffee is inclined to dry
it UP, and where tea causes nervous

to let so of the chicken, and the hen
and her offspring found their way back
