"FOr many years l have used coffee
and refused to be convinced of its bad
effect upon the human system" writes
a veteran school teacher
"Ten years ago was obliged to give
up my much loved work in the public
schools after years of continuous labor.
1 had developed a well defined case Of
chronic coffee poisoning.
1.-THE troubles were constipation,
hutterings of the heart, a humping in
the top of my head and various parts
of nay body, twitching of my limbs,
shaking of my head and, at times after
exertion, q general gone feeling with
a toper's desire for very strong coffee.
was a nervous wreck for years.
"a short time ago friends came to
visit US and they brought package Of
Postum with them, and urged me to try
it. 1 was prejudiced because some
years ago 1 had drunk a cup of weak,
tasteless stuff called Postum which 1
did not like at all.
"This time, however, my friend
made the Postum according to direc-
tons on the package, and it won me.
Suddenly I found myself improving in
a most decided fashion.
1.-The odor of boiling coffee no longer
tempts me. 1 am so greatly benefited
by Postum that if 1 continue to inn
prove as I am now, I'll begin to think
1 have found the Fountain of Perpetual
Youth. This is no fancy letter, but
stubborn facts which 1 am glad to
make known"

A few minutes later Pastor Norwood
was bowling to the organist, who slipped
a check in his hand and said properly,
with the compliments of the choir"
Just as they were seated, the door bell
rang again, and this time the Junior
League marched en- masse and the aston
ished minister stood speeches. with a
check in either hand. Then the older
League came, and presently the Ladies'
Aid and last of all the trustees, all add
ing their offerings and crowding the small
rooms. Each party looked stiffly askance
at the others, wondering by what trick
cry their secret had become known.
After an hour of discourse and song,
the treasurer arose and said:
"A few days since our pastor had re-
ceived but a mere pittance for many
months of faithful labor. While he had
wrought earnestly for the church and its
societies, so that, for the first time in
years, all were in prosperous condition,
he unselfshly forgot his own needs. No,
no! Brother Norwood, you must permit
me to finish. Then one society and an
other, by some strange coincidence, con-
ceived the thought of giving the pastor
pleasant Thanksgiving surprise. 1t is
needless to say that we have surprised
each other quite as we'll. But best of all,
1 find that in the few days of unconscious
cooperation, we have increased the
amount paid on salary to just five hun
dred dollars. This shows what we can do
if we all work together. 1 move you as
congregation, that we increase our pas
tors salary from six hundred to eight
hundred dollars year."

EULoGY OF A HORSE.

Philosophy of Kingman drayman
named Payne: 1.-The racehorse may be
a great moneymaker for ten minutes
or so on summer day, but my old
plug there earns about as much coin,
slow as he is, by keeping everlastingly
at it the year round. And l don't have
to dandle and nurse him and fool with
him. I hitch him UP when 1 need him,
and give him his regular feed and
water when it's time. And as for the
honor of winning, l think Old Dobbin,
who works faithfully for all he has,
is lots more entitled to have the Hon
or the Esq attached to his name
than some of these fine-grained animals
that never work a lick in their lives,
and whose only business it is to sepa-
rate a lot of bad guessers from their
money"

CURE FOR sEAs1cKNEss.

A new remedy has been discovered
proved that a pocket looking-glass is
an infallible cure
The Iooking-glass cure must be taken
Immediately the sufferer steps on board
ship. The prescription directs the pa.
tient, when the first indescribable feel
ing comes on, to take out the pocket
looking glass and look himself fair and
square in the eyes.
The result is alleged to be that the
rolling of the ship, and even the smell
of the engines, will pass unnoticed,
and a little perseverance will transform
a bad sailor into a good one.
An Express representative consulted
a west end physician on the new cure.
1T is d very curious fact, and one
for which If is difficult to account"
said he, that a casual glance in a
looking glass may arrest seasickness.
1t may be that the woe-begone coun-
tenance is responsible for introducing
a vein of humor, and the sufferer re-
solves to cheer up
Personally 1 think there is a more
scientific reason 1t is well known
among sailors that the rise ana IdIl
of the horizon is responsible for the
early stages of this distressing malady.
Physicians in consequence often re-
commend their patients to try to fix
their eyes on some immovable object,
such as a ring on their finger, or a
book held firmly on the knee. The
looking glass is probably the same kind
of antidote to the movement of the
ship.
1T would be necessary. of course, to
hold the glass firmly, and fix the gaze
steadily on the reflected image.
1.-THE looking-glass remedy may be
something in the nature of a faith
cure. If the attention can fbe absolute
ly concentrated on the image in the
glass, and all thought of illness Danish
ed, there is an excellent chance that
the voyage will have no bad effects.
with regard to the length of time
required for the cure, it is a general
fact that if sickness can be success
fully warded off for several hours the
symptoms are not likely to recur, ex-
cept in cases where no remedy will
relieve the unfortunate sufferer, and
sea and brain sickness are interchange
able terms. London Express.
