this is his story.
For years l was coffee drinker
until my nervous system was nearly
broken down, my hands trembled so l
could hardly write, and insomnia tor

Besides, how could l safely per-
form operations with unsteady hands,
using knives and instruments of pre-

effects of coffee, decided to stop it,
and three years ago / prepared some
Postum, of which had received a
sample.
THE first cupful surprised me. It
was mild, soothing, delicious. At this
time l gave some Postum TO friend
who was in a similar condition to
mine, from the use of coffee.
"A few days after, met him and
he was full Of praise for Postum, de-

"It would be the fault of the one
who brewed the Postum, if it did not
taste good when served.

STORY OF ONE COMPANY.
Brave Soldiers Who Came from Nc.
AIlisterVille Academy.

II was on the evening of the first
day of the Gettysburg fight. After
Gen. Reynolds northern corps, bereft
Of its commander and suffering
from heavy loss in numbers, had fallen
back to the position afterward victo-
riously maintained by the union
troops, Gen. Heth of the confederate
army was riding with his staff across
a part of the field. Suddenly he lift
ed his right hand.
Remove your hats, gentlemen" he
said. Let us salute this dress pa
rade of the dead"
There before them. in almost per-
feet order, where the tall grass had
been trampled as smooth as a thresh-
ing floor and was deeply stained with
blood, lay long line Of corpses in
the union blue. About almost ali Of
them the confederate officers saw tSe
marks of extreme youth. Boys they
were who only a year or so before
had left their mothers tutelage, and
before the war began comparatively
few of them apparently had caught
their first glimpses of the stern real
tiles of manhood. 1t was a scene over
which a knightly heart might we'll
have wept
The portion of the line of the dead
before which Gen. Heth and his
high-spirited officers reined up their
steeds was indeed wonderfully signifi-
cant of the patriotism of the north.
The One Hundred and Fifty-frst
Pennsylvania regiment of volunteers
had fought there. 1t had been almost
entirely recruited of young men not
yet out Of their teens, and company

ars and instructors of county acad.
emy, whose doors had at once been
closed when President Lincoln's ap-
peal came from Washington for men
to step forward and defend the gov.
ernment. All Of the males connected
with the academy enlisted for nine
months of service. They were no
longer new to the fierce heat of bat
tie when that supreme contpst began
on that warm July morning; but their
courage had not lessened as their
| knowledge of the grim terrors of war
had grown. They had stood in the
focus of the fire; they had received
the impact of the heaviest onslaught,
and the story of how they had done
this was told, as it never could be
told again, in that mute, bloody line
which held the dress parade of the
dead"

the One Hundred and Fifty-first Penn

there Washington was in the throes
of military fever and the intensest eX-

mors that railroad tracks were being

Harper's Ferry was taken, Virginia

the Frontier Guards was stationed
We got our meals at the best hotels
and paid our own board. I myself put
up at the Willard. The government
supplied us with bright new rifles and
ammunition, but gave us no uniforms.

pointments for ourselves or our
friends. Ny recollection is that most
of us wore plug hats"
Nicolay and Hay in their life of
Lincoln, speaking of the CLAY Bat
talon" and THE Frontier Guards"
say: "These companies of from 80 to
60 men each were what might be
called irregular volunteers-recruits
from east and west, of all ranks in
the great army of politics who came
forward to shoulder a musket without
enlistment, commission, paymaster Or
commissariat. By this time the dan
ger had become so threatening that
every scrap and show of military
force was really welcome and useful.
The government gave them arms and
gave them in charge of Maj. CATER
ward GEM David Hunter, who, on
the evening of the 18th, stationed
Clay's company at Wizards hall with
orders to patrol the streets, and took
Lanes frontier guards to the post of
honor at the executive mansion. At
dusk they filed into the famous East
room, clad in citizens dress, but car
rying very new untarnished muskets,
and following Lane, brandishing a
sword of irreproachable brightness.

In picturesque bivouac on the brilliant

most luxurious cantonment which

peforestation In Africa.

According to J. Dybowski, pro-
gressive desiccation of the air and
soil is manifest in the region Of the
Sudan, the underlying cause being
the destruction of the original forests.
Cape Verde is cited as an example.
In the eighteenth century the botanist,
Adanson, described it as covered with
a vast forest, whence its name. Now
the forests are gone, the rivers are di-
minished, sheets of water have disap-
peared, and the productiveness Of the
soil is failing, until in many places
the region has become almost sterile.
The natives began the destruction of
the forests ignorantly; white men CON.
unue it for immediate selfish ends.

and the conversation had drifted
through various channels TO the ques.
ton of whether or not we should know
each other in heaven. Presuming that
our physical beings would be perpetu-
ated, and that recognition would be as
sured, the minister had asked various
ones at the table among whom the Bib
lical characters they would be most
interested in recognizing.
Some mentioned one prophet and
some another, but one lady, noted for
her social exclusiveness, had not
spoken. Turning to her the minister
said: And who would you like to meet
in heaven, Mrs. Intheswim?"
Mrs. Intheswim pursed her lips. Il
really don't know" she said, but there
is one thing do know, and that is
that | shouldn't care to meet Eve. In

ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs

after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
