ALL ARGUMENT At AN END.

A small girl of ten was starting to
consume q tower Of graham crackers
that she had ingeniously built at the
table. Her parents demonstrated with
her. The girl persisted and was final.

The next morning after her father
had gone down to the Office she turned
to her mother with an expression Of
resignation and the words:
well. how long is this going to
last? suppose I've got to stand it
for the present, but just wait till l
grow up and then I'm going to do OK.

But, Carol" argued her mother. q

I'm grown up and don't always do
what want to-"
"Well." remarked Carol. with an air
sf conviction which contained a proph.
ecy, all l have to say il that you are
very foolish"
The argument was unanswerable
and tho mother lapsed into silence.

WHEN ! WAS A BOY.

A boy who had been spending his
summer in the mountains was unex-
pectedly joined by his father, and
took the opportunity to ask for a
\ new tennis racket.
''Whatw cried his father, ga new
tennis racket? Why, l just bought
you one a month ago. No, sir; you
can't have it. Why, when l was a
boy / didn't have tennis rackets and
{. all those things, let alone having new
ones every month. This can't go on.
Look here, what are you going to do
about it yourself? Some day your
sons will want to have a new tennis
racket every five minutes. What are
sou going to do about it?"
CAV" said the boy, calmly wink
ing at his father, "I'll put up the
same old gag. I'll tell 'em about
when | was boy."-Judge.

FIT THE GROCER
Wife Made the Suggestion.

A grocer has excellent opportunity
to know the effects of special foods
on his customers. A Cleveland
grocer has long list of customers
that have been helped in health by
leaving off coffee and using Postum
Food Coffee.
He says, regarding his own expe-
rience: 1.-TWO years ago had been
drinking coffee, and must say that I
was almost wrecked in my nerves.
Particularly in the morning l was
SO irritable and upset that 1 could
hardly wait until the coffee was
served, and then had no appetite for
breakfast, and did not feel like at
tending to my store duties.
"One day my wife suggested that
inasmuch as l was selling so much
Postum there must be some merit in
1t and suggested that we try it. I
took home a package and she pre-
pared it according to directions. The
result was very happy one. My
nervousness gradually disappeared, and
today l am all right. / would advise
everyone afflicted in any way with
nervousness or stomach troubles. to
leave off coffee and use Postum Food

Thousands of American women
in our homes are daily sacrificing
their lives to duty.
In order to keep the home neat
and pretty, the children well dressed
and tidy, women overdo. A female
weakness or displacement is often
brought on and they suffer in silence,
drifting along from bad to worse,
knowing well that they ought to
have help to overcome the pains and
aches which daily make life burden.
1t is to these faithful women that

THE BIRTH OF IMAGINATION
Childish Exaggeration That Should
Never Be COMPOUNDED with
Untruth.

When boy of two or three rushes
: into the house with beaming eyes
and says he saw a horse with one
horn on his head, dog as big as
house, or that God met him on the
dawn and told him not to pick flow
ers, that he had been up to the moon
and these are real cases-he has
perhaps just discovered for the first
time that he can really say things
that have no basis in reality. This
marks the moment of the conscious
birth of the imagination. The
child is also gratifying his passion
of exciting attention and arousing
interest. Fancy in childhood is very
vivid and inventive, and, probably,
in the prosaic, matter-of-fact world,
far more often needs period of cul-
fivation than repression. In the home
and school games of "shut your eyes
and tell me what you see" we often
have, after a little practice, the most
staggering Munchausen wonders or
tales spun out of pure visual imagery
that makes the child first acquainted
with the charm of his new-found
Imaginative power-tales true not to
things but to thoughts, feelings and
wishes. The child is poet, artist,
romancer, and always has a larger
fraction of belief in his reveries than
adults have in theirs.-G. Stanley
Hall, in Appleton's.

BOILED WITHOUT WATER.

Boiling eggs without the use of
-vater is the latest novelty exploited
at one of London's leading hotels,
and as the feat is accomplished di-
rectly before the customer the new
way of cooking generally attracts at
eantion and comment. The waiter
places a boxlike apparatus on the
table and turns on little electricity,
and places the desired number of
eggs in the heater. In about a min
ute and half, or half the time con-
sumed by the hot water process, the
eggs are cooked to turn.

Just as picked up in a Colombo gar

into the nut, the rat being not long
dead.
Clearly the rat was up tree nib

the nut, nearly full size. when the
nut tumbled and before the rat
could withdraw it was crushed to
death between the nut and the
