Glass Balls OF Billion.

According to foreign correspond
ent of the Geological Survey at
Washington, among the most inter-
esting features of the small island
of Billion, between Sumatra and
Borneo, an island long famous for
its rich tin mines, controlled by the
Dutch government, are the glass
balls of Billion found among the
tin ore deposits. The natural glass
balls are round, with grooved sur
faces. Similar phenomena are oc-
casional!y found in Borneo and Java,
as we'll as in Australia. The cores
pendent quoted thinks they cannot
be artificial, and there are no vol
canoes near enough to support the
theory that they are volcanic bombs.

A Doctors Brother Thought Postum
Was Coffee.

A wise doctor found out coffee was
hurting him so he quit drinking it.
He was so busy with his practice,
however, that his wife had to write
how he fooled his brother, clergy
man, one day at dinner. She says;
Doctor found coffee was injuring
him and decided to give Postum a
trial, and we have used it now for
four years with continued benefit. In
fact, he is now frea from the long
train of ills that follow coffee drink
ing. y
ITO show how successful We are in
making Postum properly, I will relate
an incident. At dinner we gave,
doctor suggested that we serve Pos
tum instead of ordinary coffee.
Doctors brother, a clergyman,
supposed 1t was old fashioned coffee
and remarked. as he called for his
second cup, If you Go preach against
coffee see you haven't forgotten how
to make it.. \"
This goes to show that well-madc
fully boiled-Postum has much the
flavor and richness of good coffee al
though it has an individuality all its
own. A ten days trial will prove that
il has none of the poisonous effect of
ordinary coffee but will correct the
troubles caused by coffee. There's
a reason" Name furnished by Pos

Laura did not love him, but 1 don't
believe that. At all events, she must
have liked him. If he wasn't the
poet Laura liked, how came he to

The sally provoked no little mer-

were from the country. There was
especially new bride, who thought

Snake-Bite Lancet.

According to Consul General w.

vented by Sir Lauder Brunton, called
the snake-bite lancet" has been in
PRODUCED in India with splendid re-
suits. 1t is being widely distributed
by the authorities to police outposts
in Bengal and Assam, the central
provinces and united provinces, and
also to all village officials by some
of the native States in upper and
central India. A report by one per-
son is to the effect that he had saved
the lives of 20 persons bitten by
cobras and karaits within the last
year by the use of one lancet The
use of this simple instrument may
be the means of saving thousands
of lives annually in India, and hence
will prove a great blessing.
