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 1t
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'
ment.
1t is easy to make this test and
prove these statements by changing
from coffee to Postum. Read The

Mary,s important Testimony.

Justice Brewer, of the United States
supreme court is said to be the author
Of this story: A witness testified in
a certain case that a person named
Mary was present when a particular
conversation took place and the ques-
ton was, asked: What did Mary
say?" This was objected to and after
some discussion the judge ruled out
the question. An exception to this
decision was Immediately taken and
on appeal the higher court reversed
the verdict and ordered a new trial
on the ground that the question
should have been answered.
At the second trial the same inquiry
was propounded and ELECTED the infor-
nation that Mary said nothing"

Daily Routine in the Life of the Glou-

The routine life on mackerel
schooner is not strenuous. The crew
consists Of IA men, 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 off,
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
crew ate in two shifts, the older men

A Responsible citizen.

The story was told in the Youths
Companion some time ago of men,
Der of school city" in Chicago VINO
defeated his teacher in debate on the
question of war, which, the boy main
tanned, is forbidden by the ten COM
mandments and is always wrong. Now
comes from Philadelphia the story OF
a girl who was also admitted to citi-
zenship in such an organization, and
who upset promptly all the expecta-
tons of the schoolmistress. Every
teacher who had ever struggled over
her admitted that Marie Parola was n
torment and plague There were 500
other girls in the same building with
her, but Marie held all records as
truant, slattern and mischief-maker.
This is the way she appeared to her
teachers, but she must have had good
qualities which were apparent to her
fellow pupils, although not to the
teachers. With the girls of her class
Marie was almost universally a ia
vorite. After a time School city"
was organized among the pupils, and
TO the disgust of the teacher, Marie
was elected almost unanimously as
delegate to the common council from
her room. What shall 1 do?" her
teacher asked of the other school
ma'ams." wait and see," they coun-
seled. Perhaps she will be afraid to
come any more" But the next morn
ing Marie was on hand bright and
early, attired as for ball. When the
teacher arrived Marie greeted her gra-
ciously. Soon there entered a pupil
as tousled and dirty as Marie had
usually been. The new councilman"
led her aside and laid down the law
to her. 1--WE are citizens now" she
said. you don't want to do this way
any more" Another girl who came
late was also taken in hand and dis
ciplined by the councilman" Two
years later the teacher who had been
so angry when Marie was elected to

Country life has taught us much,
but 1t has not yet made walkers of u.s.
Physicians testify that no exercise is
SO generally beneficial as walking.
Every naturalist, or nature lover, will
tell you that no other means is so
good for knowing the country; every
walker proclaims that no other pur.
suit gives so much pleasure. Still,
writes Ella M. Bault in the Independ-
ent, no one walks. Men walk no
more than women. We are so prone
to initiate our English cousins, why
does their love of walking not arouse
us to emulation? Conscience, fashion
or inclination impel us to ride, drive,
row, swim, fish, hunt, golf, play ten
mis-; we even chop trees and saw wood
for exercise if we are strenuous and
incline to the simple life, to say moth
ing of making gardens; we On and
drive airships, automobiles and motor
cars of all descriptions, but We do not,
will not, and. in fact, cannot walk.

Commodore Vanderbilt Had Not For

The coming of age of Miss Gladys
Vanderbilt and the payment to her of
some twelve millions Of dollars inher-

anecdotes about the Vanderbilt for

the democratic spirit of the old com.
modore.
Sitting on the porch of a fash
ionable hotel at fashionable resort
on one occasion, 1t is related, the
commodore saw 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 adj
dressed her.

ter after she had gone, that hor-
rid woman used to sell poultry to

Marrying for Love.

Happy marriages are surely possible
even in these unpoetic, hard-hearted
times. They are, if the people will
only follow the instinct of their better
natures and marry for love-the rever.

the maiden, the pure, unsophisticated
affection of the maiden for the man
instead of bartering happiness for
rank or money.-Thorne.
