Baby Clothes Hanger.

Coat hangers of various sorts have
long been familiar. A novelty in this
line is the baby clothes hanger, which
is made in precisely the same fashion
as hanger for the clothes of adults,
but of only half its size, coat hanger
in miniature. Baby clothes hangers
made Of twisted wire are when un-
trimmed sold at a very low price;
trimmed with silk or with ribbons
they cost more, but they are all very
cute.

Horse Trade Ahead.

Chicago's wholesale trade in horses
in 1907 was about s15,250, 900: In
carriages and wagons, 12,S00,000;
in harness and saddles, $S,200,000:
in automobiles, s4,9O0.0G0. With
totals for the horse and his equip
ment exceeding s36,000,000 or seven
times that of the automobile trade;
it must be admitted that the horse
is still a long way ahead. And the
worst of it is that the motor vehicle
does not seem to be catching up very
fast. It's trade in Chicago made no
gains last year. according to the Tri
bune's annual review, while the
horse drawn vehicles gained $780,
900, or nearly twenty per cent.

Australian Accent.

We follow England very closely.
We speak of lifts" as an English
man does, and not of Elevators as
the American, but we have pad

"creeks" instead of streams" and
scrubs" instead of woods" and
"pannikins," and quart pots" and

lovely Australian things, which make
one perfectly homesick to think
about. All the same, am never
homesick for the crude Australian
accent.-British Australian.

Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cof-

Easy matter to give it up for good,
when Postum Food Coffee is proper
ly made and used instead.
A girl writes: Mother had been
suffering with nervous headaches for
seven weary years, but kept drinking
coffee.
Zone day I asked her why she did
not give up coffee, as a cousin OF
mine had done who had taken to
Postum. But mother was such a
slave to coffee she thought it would
be terrible to give it up.
FINALLY, one day, she made the
change to Postum. and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morn

for taste.
"That started me on Postum, and
now drink it more freely than did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now.
"a girl friend of mine, one day,
saw me drinking Postum and asked
il it was coffee. I told her it was
Postum, and gave her some to take
home, but forgot to tell her how to
make it.
THE next day she said she did not
see how I could drink Postum. /
found she had made it like ordinary
coffee. So told her how to make it
right, and gave her cupful made.

said she never drank any coffee that

board and low free board, tnat ma
ton was japan.
He pointed out that japan had fol-
lowed the plan of low free boards.
while Russian ships had the high
free boards. The Russian ships are
| now at the bottom of the sea, while
Japanese ships are still floating.
Since the Russian-Japanese war,
the Japanese have been building their
, ships so that the free boards are still
lower. 1t had been ascertained that
the Russians, apparently realizing the
error of their high free boards when
going to battle in the Sea of Japan,
had pumped water between their
decks, and had even loaded coal In
the staterooms Of the officers in order
to get their ships as close to the water
as possible, and afford the least pos
sible taget.
American ships, he said. had lit
tie more free board than the Japan
ese and a little less than the English
ships of the Dreadnought type, the
English, in order to get greater speed
having been forced to allow a little
more free board.
The questions raised in the Reuter-
dahl article, he said. had afforded
subjects for argument, dispute, coI-
troversy and discussion among naval
architects since the construction OF
the modern navy began and doubt
less always would do so. There was
always a fight between amor men
and armament men, between steam
engineering departments and other
departments, but the result In the
end had been the construction Of ves-
sells which present the best knowledge
of naval architects.
No nation had followed the French
style of naval construction. That
was a distinctive class by itself, but
in general there was similarity among
the English, American and japanese
styles.
