Child Misunderstood.

When Lord Elphiston was in Amer.
ica couple of years ago he was en-
tertained at dinner by family the
head of which was to accompany his
lordship on his hunting trip through
the wilds of the northwest. A child
of about five years. named Ethel, dur
ing tho dinner was big-eyed and big
cared with wonderment-in fact, COM
pletely overawed by the presence of
the distinguished foreigner. Ethel
heard her mother and father now and
then say, my lord this, and my lord
that" or "Will you have some of this,
my lord, or some of that?" the dinner
being purely informal one. Finally,
when the mother was interested in the
conversation of another guest, Ethel
noticed that MILFORD was gazing inter-
estedly at dish of relish quite out of
his reach. The child thought she saw a
chance to please Lord Elphiston, and
in firm, clear voice. exclaimed:
Mama, God wants some pickles.

HIS MEMORY WAS GOOD.
Commodore Vanderbilt Had Not For
gotten Old Days.

The coming of age of Miss Gladys
Vanderbilt and the payment to her of
some twelve millions of dollars inher-
itance has brought out a new crop of
anecdotes about the Vanderbilt for
tune. One of the latest illustrates
the democratic spirit of the old COM
modore.
Sitting on the porch of a fash
ionable hotel at a fashionable resort
on one occasion, it is related, the
commodore saw a lady approaching
with whom he was acquainted. His
wife and daughter, who recognized
her, could scarcely contain their an
ger when he arose and politely ad-
dressed her.
Don't you know" said the daugh-
ter after she had gone, that hor-
rid woman used to sell poultry to
us?"
YES" responded the old million
aire, "and l remember when your
mother sold root beer and l peddled
oysters in New Jersey"

TRANSFORMATIONS.
Curious Results When Coffee Drinking
Is Abandoned.

1t is almost as hard for an old coffee
topper to quit the use of coffee as it Is
for whisky or tobacco fiend to break
off, except that the coffee user can
quit coffee and take up Postum with
out any feeling of loss of the morn
ing beverage, for when Postum is we'll
boiled and served with cream. it is
really better in point of flavor than
most of the coffee served nowadays,
and to the taste of the connoisseur it
is like the flavor of fine, mild Java.
A great transformation takes place
in the body within ten days or two
weeks after coffee is left off and
Postum used, for the reason that the
poison to the nerves-caffeine-has
been discontinued, and in its place is
taken liquid food that contains the
most powerful elements of nourish-
mont.
1t is easy to make this test and
prove these statements by changing
from coffee to Postum. Read "The
Road to Wellville," in pkgs. There's

The Floating Anchor.

Captain Sealby of the Cretic was
talking about the nautical ignorance
of the average tourist.

In the blunt end of the ship the
husband answered.
"SHll worse. though" Captain Sealby
continued, was the nautical ignorance
OF a couple of landsmen who went sail

These greenhorns had for anchor n
lot of stones tied up In burlap bag.
when lunch time came the skipper
called to his mate:
Cast anchor!'
"The other heaved the anchor over
board, but In the act the burlap slit and
the stones sank to the bottom while
the bag fioated.

watching the bag a little while, "the
anchor won't sink. What's to be done?'

MOST TERRIBLE OF DEATHS.
Spiders Bite Probably the Worst
Known to Scientists.

What is the most terrible death In
the world? The following are few
Of the most terrible known to mortal
man, but as to which of those given
/, is the worst it would probably be hard
to say.
One OF the most agonizing deaths
known is caused by small black
spider half the size OF pea 1t lives
In Peru and South Australia, but
few specimens have reached Europe
and America in ship loads OF lumber.
Not long ago a dock laborer while un-
loading a vessel in the Victoria docks
felt one upon his hand. This death
dealer dug its fangs deep into the
mans flesh, and as soon as the poison
began to work he tainted with pain.
He was dead in three days. This
Spiders venom scorches up the blood
vessels and spreads through all the
tissues, causing the most fearful ag-
Dny human being can have to bear.
The worst OF 1t is that the victim
lives at least two days The spider
Is generally known as the "specky.'
When a man who knows what the
bite means becomes the victim he
generally blows out his brains.
Another fearful death is caused by
eating a grain called "bhat." This
sometimes gets mixed with rice, which
1t resembles. The plant grows In the
far east, and few grains of 1t will
drive person into state OF violent
mania. The victim becomes drowsy
at first and afterwards hilarious; then
he goes raving mad, tears himself to
pieces with his fingers and bites
mouthfuls out of his flesh. This grain
Is found only in the remotest parts
Of the east, but both white men and
natives are killed by 1t occasionally.
for the plant grows in with the rice
crops, and there is no way of telling
them apart, except when the grain Is
dried 1t comes out in a sort of brick
red color.
There is South American plant. or
vine, called the "knotter" which fas-
tens about any living thing that
comes within reach, twining its long
might. These tentacles scar and
burn into the flesh like white-hot
wires. and the victim is dragged into
the heart of the foliage, and his life
slowly drained as the spider sucks
the blood of the fly. Those who have
strong instincts of cruelty, sometimes
force dog or other animal into the
grip of the ''knotter" to watch the
effects, which are too horrible to de-
scribe in detail.

New York,s Hlahest auildlna.

'How high is it?" This question at
once directs thought to the Singer
building. in lower Broadway. The
question is asked by thousands of per-
sons crossing from the Jersey shore
1t was asked the other day of tall,
scholarly-looking man standing on the
upper dick of one of the Pennsylvania
ferryboats. 81 do not know it's exact
height" said the man addressed, "but
this 1 give as an opinion, that during
heavy thunder shower the height of
that building would make 1t entirely
possible for the sun to shine on the
roof whiie the lower stories are being
deluged by rain. The heavily laden
rain clouds are only about 500 feet
above the earth, while the lantern of
the new Singer building will be al
most 600 feet high. The building will
tower high above the fog banks, 1

How Bears Play.

In recently published work a nat.
dralist gives some interesting facts
concerning the playtime of animals.
The bear is supposed by many to be
rather solemn animal, but he is
given to pranks at times, ard even
INDUCES in antics that closely re-
semble games played by children.
The naturalist observed three cubs
repeatedly playing a game very much
like tag. A cub would chase the 9TH
ers, until he cuffed one with his paw;
then the one hit took up the chase
1t may be that the writer's imagina-
tion put more system into the play
than actually was there. However.
bears in geological gardens have been
known to turn somersaults, and they
take to dancing SO readily that it is
easy to train them to take certain
steps.

When the first little granddaughter

Daily Routine in the Life of the GIou-

The routine life on mackerel

consists of IA men, a skipper and
cook. Two men constitute watch,
one aloft as a lookout, the other at
the wheel, so that each man has two
hours on duty, and then IL hours of,
before his turn comes around again.
During this period he may be called
on to shorten sail, wash the deck or
to perform other work. Half of the
crew have their hunks forward with
the cook, who is king of the forecas-
tie, and the rest sleep aft with the
captain. We were assigned to a
double bunk aft, where we were not
troubled with galley smells. but had
to be on our good behavior. All the
roles and revels were forward. The
