THEY GROW
Good Humor and Cheerfulness from
Right Food.

- Cheerfulness is like sunlight. 1t
dispels the clouds from the mind as
4Anlight chases away the shadows of
night.
The good humored man can pick
up and carry off load that the man
with crouch wouldn't attempt to
lift.
Anything that interferes with good
health is apt to keep cheerfulness and
good humor in the background. A
Washington lady found that letting
coffee alone made things bright for
her. She writes:
-Four years ago I was practically
given up by my doctor and was not
expected to live long. My nervous
system was in bad condition.
But / was young and did not want
to die, so l began to look about for
the cause of my chronic trouble. /
used to have nervous spells which
would exhaust me and after each spell
it would take me days before l could
sit up in chair.
II became convinced my trouble
was caused by coffee. / decided to
stop it and bought some Postum.
1.-The first cup, which l made ac-
-cording to directions, had soothing
fect on my nerves and l liked the
taste. For a time / nearly lived on
Postum and ate little food besides.

If am the same person | was four
years ago. when l could do no work
on account of nervousness. Now

letter, yet l do it all with the cheer
fulness and good humor that comes
from enjoying good health.

Inventor of Envelopes,

1t Is somewhat curious that such a
simple contrivance as the envelope
should be comparatively modern in
vention. AS a matter of fact it is
just 100 years since a paper manu-
facturer of Brighton named Brewes
invented envelopes for letters in their
present form. Even then it was
some considerable time before their
use became at all general, in fact, un-
til this date (as many who are living
now will remember) letter, written
only on one side, was folded in two,
then in three, sealed with a wafer or
sealing wax and addressed on one OF
the blank sides.-The Gaulois.

Aerial Letter Boxes.

Aerial letter boxes have been
placed in all large tenement houses
and apartment buildings in Buda-
pest Hungary. When the postman
enters the hall on the first floor of
a building he places the letters in
the boxes allotted to the different
families. A spring is then pressed
and electricity does the rest. The
boxes are shot up to the floor re-
quired, where they remain until emp
tied, or until the postman comes
again and brings them down by
touching another spring.-Popular
Mechanics.

old Horseshces in China.

The market in China for wornout
horseshoes seems to be almost with
out limit. Chinese iron dealers buy
the horseshoes and sell them to knife
and tool manufacturers all over the
province. 1t is claimed by the Chi
nese that the temper of this class of
iron makes it the best obtainable for
knives and cutlery, and also good for
tools. The reason ascrbed for this
is that the constant beating the shoes
have received under the feet of the
horses has given them a peculiar
temper absolutely unobtainable in
any other way, and that tools made
from them are superior to all Others

Building Unearthed In Habylonla
Contains Bricks Of $500 3. c.


The Oldest temple in the world, so
far discovered, has been unearthed
by excavators at Bisya, in Central
Babylonia.
The walls of the tower were first
uncovered and the summit cleared.
The first inscription on the surface
was on brick stamped with the
name Dungi, which goes back to 2750
B. c. A little lower appeared a
crumpled piece of gold with the name
Param Sim, who lived in 1850 b. c.
Just below were large square bricks
peculiar to the reign of Sargon, $500
B. c., and who was probably the first
Semitic King of Bablylonia.
A large platform was discovered
two and half yards below the sur
nee which was constructed of pecu-
liar convex bricks such as were used
in building material $500 B. C.

Cost Of Living in Germany.

From all parts of Germany sharp
advances in the prices of the necessi-
ties of life, especially in foodstuffs and
in fodder for livestock, are reported
The latter have been noticeable during
the last few weeks and are due, in n
measure at least, to the unsatisfactory
crops of the past year. The result is
strong upward movement In the
price of all foodstuffs. Meat is the
only exception. 1t shows a slight ten
dency to lower prices, but is still
above the figures of two years ago, and
the slightly lower prices of to-day are
perhaps due to the constant agitations
for cheaper meat which have contin-
ued uninterruptedly for two years
past. In some instances municipali-
ties have gone into the butchering
business and have sold directly to tho
people. while in many places meat
prices have been fixed by municipal
enactment. Prices of milk, butter and
other dairy products have advanced In
sympathy with the price OF fodder.
