When he found that coffee drinking

this is his story.
For years I was a coffee drinker
until my nervous system was nearly
broken down, my hands trembled so I
could hardly write, and insomnia tor
tured me at night.
Besides, how could / safely per-
form operations with unsteady hands,
using knives and instruments of pre-
cision? When | saw plainly the bad
effects of coffee, l decided to stop it,
and three years ago l prepared some
Postum, of which I had received a
sample.
THE first cupful surprised me. 1t
was mild, soothing, delicious. At this
time gave some Postum to a friend
who was In a similar condition to
mine, from the S Of coffee.
"A few days after, l met him and
he was full Of praise for Postum, de.
clari1g he would never return to cof-
fee but stick to Postum. We then or

time my nervousness and consequent

to live. 1t was in Rome that Antoi-
nette Polk met Baron de Charette,
theN serving at the vatican. The i'm
questionable Italians had already
hailed the fair American as the most
beautifrI woman who had ever come
to their shores, and the Baron de
Charette agreed with them. He laid
siege to Miss Folks heart, won her
and brought her home to Paris as his
bride.
One son was born, Antoine. From
his mother the young man inherits
splendid plantations in Tennessee and
from his paternal side some of the
greatest art treasures in France.

Hoo Cholera.

The greatest drawback to the hog
industry which breeders in this coun-

known as hog cholera" and swine

Hog cholera is a highly contagious
disease and unless checked is liable
to carry off a great number of hogs in
a very short time.

which he had with some hogs that

Her skin is fair, very white and al
most transparent. There is almost no
coloring in her cheeks, yet she bushes
beautifully when she is interested. But
her lips are of that brilliant red which
no cosmetic save perfect health can
give, Her nose is pure Greek; her
mouth a Cupid's bow. The chin is
strong and firm, Her teeth are
dazzling.
She speaks French. German and
Italian with equal fluency, and her
Partisan accent when she speaks Eng
fish is altogether charming. Her
taste in dress is undeniable; she al
ways appears in the masterpieces of
the French modistes. She is a perfect
dancer, a rafting good hand at bridge
and she can play billiards with the
best of the men.
AS soon as she was well launched
in society, Miss Deacon began making
strong friendships in the great world.
Some of the most important people in
the Faubourg st. German set osParis
became her intimates; in London she
chummed with the duchess of MARI
borough, the duchess of Deyonshire,
the dowager duchess of Manchester
and Mrs. Arthur Paget, all of them of
tremendous social advantage to Miss
Deacon.

little maison opposite the Chapel of
Our Lady of Consolation, in Paris,
and a villa at Versailles.
With all these charms, it could not
be doubted but that Gladys Deacon
would soon have suitors enough to
satisfy even the most exacting deb
utante. The first soon appeared
to be precise, in 1900. He was Claude
Lowther, called the handsomest man
in England. Together they made a
striking pair, and the matchmakers
had them engaged-by rumor. But
it was not to be. Gladys Deacon went
her way and Mr.. Lowther went his.
For a brief period the prince of Lich-
tenstein was favored; then he was
dismissed.
Next in line came Lord Francis
Hope, who was even then getting his
divorce from May Yohe, the one-time
soubrette, who had run away with
Capt. Putnam Bradlee Strong, son of
the late Mayor Strong of New York.
But Gladys Deacon gave the noble
lord, who some day may be the duke
of Newcastle, his congo, and he mar
ried some one else.

Sunday School Lessons for the World.

A power greater than that of kings
seems to have been welded by the
little group of thoughtful men who
gathered at the Fenway residence of
w. N. Hartshorn to select the les
sons for the Sunday schools of the
world, says the Boston Herald. Every
year they gather to make this choice,
and when a decision has been reached
the lessons are handed out to the
printers and by them literally scat
tered over the planet. The word thus
goes forth not in one but in scores
of languages. Europe and Africa, east
and west, north and south, get these

ular. There is a supply for Hawaii,
Japan and the islands of the sea-, For
India alone 40 dialects have to be pro
vided for. Some 500, 100000 Sunday
school leaflets are thus distributed
every year.

back, SO that a Jew might be known
fore and aft" When a Jew was found
without the badge he wa fined. Evil
dence of the wearing of this badge Is
found as late as 1892 in France. The
forefathers of the Spanish Jews car
ried a yellow and red badge-the men
on their breast, the women ON their
foreheads. The wearing of the badge
was not SO prevalent in Italy, but the
municipalities almost all required
them. The badge was known as the
20" from its shape, resembling prob.
ably the ring in France. English Jews
should feel the distinction of having
had a peculiar sort of badge forced
upon their ancestors. 1t was first in
the form Of a band-first white and
then yellow, and later Jews were re,
quired to wear a badge with the shape
Of the Tables of the Law. In Germany
yellow badges were worn, but there
the hat was the chief means of identi
ncation. In Austria and in Poland
there are few traces OF the badge, but
IN Hungary Jews wore a badge or
their left breast. 1t is interesting TX
know that in Crete at the present day
come Of the houses Of Jews are marked
With the "o'-American Hebrew.

OXYGEN I'm SOLID FORM.
Gas Is Liberated to Purify Air by Ad-
dition of Water.

The increasing and varied purposes
to which oxygen is now being applied,
combined with its frequent use in
cases of illness, have resulted in proc
ess being evolved for it's production in
a concentrated form similar in nature
to many other medicaments and ready
for instant use whenever desired.
This new substance, which is known
as oXylithe, is oxygen in latent state
and is sold in the form of small cakes.
To produce the gas it is only necessary
to add quantities of cold water in pre-
cisely the same manner as that in
which acetylene gas is produced by
dissolving calcium carbide in water
AS soon as the water comes into con-
tact with the Substance gus is emitted
with great violence, but generation
ceases the moment the supply of water
is withdrawn.
Oxylithe will keep for an indefinite
period without any signs of deteriora
tion, no gas being given off until it is
brought into contact with water. One
pound of the substance, it is said will
supply approximately three cubic feet
of oxygen. Even the residue which is
produced, being soda lye, can be profit
ably used for washing, bleaching and
other purposes. The gas obtained by
this method contains 100 per cent of
oxygen and consequently is chemically
pure. No especial precautions are nee
essary in it's production, since it is per-
fectly harmless and cannot explode.
and for this reason it can be prepared
by any one when required.
For respiratory purposes n special
vessel is provided, This consists of an
outer glass receptacle containing the
water In which Is immersed cage
carrying the latent oxygen, and the
gas as it is generated is drawn off by
nozzle fitted with tap passing
through a rubber tube to the inhala-

TO DIsPEL LONDON F0GS.
Mists te Be Dissipated by Means of
Air Projectors.

A scheme to disperse fogs by cur
rents of air shot over London from
projectors" six miles away has been
laid before the public control commit
tee of the London county council, and
NJ. Demetrio Moggiora, the inventor, is
ready to start experiments.
NJ. Moggiora says his apparatus has
already been subjected to severe tests
at Milan, Italy where fogs, clouds and
hailstorms were quickly dissipated.
With his projectors, or air cannon,
placed within a radius of six miles
from the houses of parliament, he says,
he will clear away the worst fog in
London within twenty minutes
"The theory is that the fog hangs
over London simply because there are
no air currents to carry 1t away" said
NJ A[oggiora. "Now, my projectors,
acting like cannon, furnish the neces-
sary currents of air.
each protector is about sixty feet
long. An explosion is caused as in
cannon, and the conclusion has an eff
feet for six miles. Thus If ten or more
of these were ranged over London
from different directions the fog would
be lifted Immediately to an altitude
where the wind would blow it away.
After the apparatus was permanently
installed the cost would be IA cents for
each explosion, and twenty explosions
would rid the metropolis of its densest
for. The cost for original construction
would be $4,000.

"that my experiments will demonstrate
the practlcubility of fogless London"
"The suggestion is no more incredi-
BILE than wireless telegraphy," said an
official "Who knows but in short
time we shall have a department for
the control of fogs and rain, with ex-
perts to regulate the proper proportions

Marriage In Italy.

Why does the signorina marry2
In seeking the answer to this ques-
ton, says the Italian sociologist,
Ferriani, | chose very young women
for my experiments, directing my
questions to ninety-iiye between the
ages of fifteen and seventeen years,
scattered all over Italy, with the fol-
lowing results: Five answered that
they married in order to go out
walking alone, ten in order to have
good time, in contrast with the aus
terity of their life up to that time;
five in order to travel, seven in or.
der TO have homes of their own and
sixty-one for no reasons at all in
particular. Three really didn't
want to marry anyhow, while only
four dwelt upon the joys Of home
and housekeeping. Only four had.
been educated properly in the school
of the household. TO the majority
marriage seems to mean only free
dom from the conyent-like seclusion
of the young girl, the getting out
into the great world a9i @
