Future of Persia.

At a recent meeting of the Royal
Asiatic society in London Sir II. Nor
timer Durand read a paper on "Nadir
Shah" The ancient monarchy of
Persia was, he said, among the nations
which seemed to be waking up to a
new life. The remarkable movement
which had recently swept over the
land had shaken the established order
of things to its foundations. AS in
Russia, only few years ago the
Persians in general regarded the mon
arch as their God-given ruler. Now
the position was very different. There
had been sudden upheaval and the
autocratic power of the monarch had
been overthrow with extraordinary
suddenness.-London Standard.

HOPELESS Case.

Evangelist Torrey, who prides HIM
self upon the number of his converts,
met one hardened sinner in Chicago
whom he failed to convert. The min
lister had been preaching to a tent full
of people. He had described the vices
of the rich, and had pointed Biblical
analogies at their luxuries. One man
in the back of the tent had seemed
to be much interested. He leaned
forward to catch every word. Tor
,rey, taking the interest to mean
approaching conversion, redoubled his
efforts. 1.-THE road to hell is lined
with vintage, wine, beautiful women
and fine automobiles" he exclaimed.
With sigh as of relief, the man in
the back Of the tent arose. "Oh,
death, where is thy sting?" he said.

BANIsHED
Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cot
fee even after they know it is doing
them harm, is a puzzler. But it is an
easy matter to give it up for good
when Postum Food Coffee is properly
made and used instead.
A girl writes: Mother had been
suffering with nervous headaches for
seven weary years, but kept drinking
coffee.
4 zone day / asked her why she did
not give up coffee as cousin of mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
But Mother was such slave to coffee
she thought it would be terrible to
give it up.
s'Finally, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum so
freely and with such relish asked for
taste.
"That started me on Postum and
now drink it more freely than I 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. / told her it was Postum
and gave her some to take home, but
forgot to tell her how to make it.
aThe next day she said she did not
ace how could drink Postum. / found
she had made it like ordinary coffee.
So told her how to make it right
and gave her a cupful | made, after
boiling it fifteen minutes. She said
she never drank any coffee that tasted
as good, and now coffee is banished
from both our homes" Name given
