THE PLARNEY STONE.

Of this. the most famous stone in the
world, Fr. PTOuC said.
cit is endowed with the property of
communicating to the happy tongue
that comes in contact with its polished
surface the giIt of gentle. InsIuuating
speech, with soft talk in all its Tamifi-
ca ti1Ds, whether employed in VOWS and
promises as light as air such as lead
captive the female heart, or elaborate
mystifcatiOus of a grOsser grain, such
as many do for the house of commons,
all summed up and characterized by the
mysterious term "Bldrney.'
Richard Alfred Miihken, another Irish
poet, wrote thus;
There IS a stone there,
That 81 uosOeVer kisses,
On, he never misses
To grow eloquent.
IT'S he may Chamber
To a lady's chamber,
Or become member

A clever spOUter

An out-and-outeF
To be let alone.
Don't hope TO hinder him,

HOT BISCUIT Kind of Breakfast Passing Away.

The old time hot biscuit. played a prominent role in the breakfast bill of fare, along with friend potatoes, ham and eggs, and coffee.
 The whiter and lighter the biscuit the more pleased the cook, which was usually Mother, who did the best she could, with her understanding of the matter.
 But most people have learned in re- cent years, that white four lacks the nourishing clements of the entire wheat berry, and many cases of imperfect nu- triton follow it's use.
 In Grape-Nuts, all the food clements of wheat and barley are used and this largely accounts for results similar to those given in the following letter:
 "I wish to tell of the health and strength-giving properties of Grape Nuts. I am 45 years old and had for years been afflicted with indigestion and other stomach troubles, brought on by eating hot biscuit white bread and improperly cooked cereals.
 'fNoticing an advertisement stating the benefits derived from eating Grape Nuts, I was skcptical because I had tried so many so-called health foods. I thought it would be useless to try GrapeNuts.
 But during the last six months l have been eating it, my stomach has been the best for years, my mind clear, my nerves quiet and feeling of buoy ancy. pervades my whole being
