his teachers. It was an oppressively

Heart Failure Due to Hyacinths.

Until lately few cases of serious
heart failure due to the presence of
hyacinths in living rooms have been
recorded.
The latest instance is that Of a
healthy young girl in Bromley, Kent,
who, after sitting for q couple of
hours in a room in which there were
several pots of these plants, began
to feel somewhat faint. Two hours
later, after she had gone home she
fell into a deep sleep. The doctor in
attendance stated that the defective
heart action, leading to the insult
ficient supply of blood to the brain,
which caused the fainting, was due
to the effect of the hyacinth scent on
the nerves which regulate the hearts
action.
Heavily scented flowers" says a
medical man, referring to this case,
should never be kept in any living
room which is not well ventilated.
The heavy feeling which too many
flowers in a close room are apt to
give is due to a slightly depressant
action on the heart. If the heart is
weak, or nervous and the perfume
is sufficiently concentrated, the heart
beat may be so impaired as to cause
prolonged fainting fit."-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

Winds and Fish.

A singular correspondence has late
iy been brought to light between the
prevailing direction of the wind on
the coast of New South Wales and the
average catch of fish. These influences
have periods of three or four years.
Thus in 1898 there was a general
scarcity of fish, but afterward they
became more and more abundant up
to 1901. In 1906 there was another
scarcity of fish, but the next year they
began to return in increasing num-
bers. The cause of these variations
was a mystery until the coincidence
with the prevailing direction of the
coastal winds was noticed. Now it is
thought that by the study of the
winds the prospects of the fishermen
may be predicted two or three years
in advance.

After another long pause the farm

The Romance Of Helium.

Another chapter has been added to
the romantic history of the sun ele-
ment" by the brief telegram to Pro-
fessor Dewar from Professor Kamer-
lingh Dimes, of Leyden, announcing
that the latter has succeeded in con-
verting helium into solid. Helium
was first discovered spectroscopically
in the sun--hence its namely Sir
Norman Lockyer, during the total
solar eclipse of 1868, the first
eclipse at which astronomers had the
spectroscope at their disposal. Its
existence ON the earth was unknown
until 1895, when Sir William RAM
say found its distinctive yellow line
in the spectrum of cleveite, and quite
recently it has been found associated
with radium, which may possibly
prove to be made up of helium and
lead. Owing to the intense cold re-
quired all previous attempts to solid
ify helium have failed, though Pro-
lessor Dewar reached 436 degrees
Fahrenheit of frost in his liquid air
and frozen hydrogen experiments. 1t
is probable Professor Dimes has
reached the absolute Zero-450 de-
grees Fahrenheit of frost-to sue
coed in freezing helium.

Philippine LOcusts.

The natives of the Philippines are
having hard time trying to beat
down the plague of locusts. In Panay
tremendous swarms of these insects
have come and have denuded the rice
fields. In the town of Balasan the
natives have captured and destroyed
1000 cavanes (the cavane is a meas
ure equal to FAT cubic feet) of the
insects. Miagao has also captured
about the same number.
The only time efforts to catch To-
Gusts prove effective is while they are
too young to fly. The method pur-
sued is to dig hole in the ground
to which boards lead. Along these
the locusts can be driven, and once in
the hole are buried. This method has
been in limited use for some years
and is encouraged by the Govern.
ment.

"WRITE A LETTER HOME TO-

Don't 20 TO the theatre, concert or ball,
but stay in your room tonight,
Deny yourself to the friends that CALI
And a good long letter write.
Write TO the sad, sad folks at home
Who sit, when the day is done,
With folded hands and tear-wet eye,
And think of the absent one.
Don't selfshly scribble, Excuse my haste,
I've scarcely time TO write"
Lest their dropping thoughts go wandering
back
To many a bygone night,
When they lost their needed sleep and
rest,
And every breath was prayer
That God would leave their darling one
To their tender, loving care.
Don't let them feel you have no need
OF their love and counsel wise,
For the heart grows strongly sensitive
When sorrow has dimmed the eyes.
1t might be well to let them think
You've never forgotten them quitej
That you deem it pleasure when lar
Long letters home to write.
Don't think the young and giddy friends
Who make your pastime gay,
Have half the anxious thoughts Of you
That the home hearts have to-day.
The duty of writing do not put off.
Let sleep and pleasure wait,
Lest the letter for which they look and
long,
Be day or even an hour too late.
For the sad, loving hearts at home
With cheeks tear-washed and white,
Are longing to hear from the absent one,
So write them long letter tonight.

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When Baby

II parents realized the fact that
coffee contains a drug-caffeine--
which is especially harmful to chill
dren, they would doubtless hesitate
before giving the babies coffee to
drink.
when / was child in my moth
er's arms and first began to nibble
things at the table, mother used to
give me sips of coffee. AS my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals new
or knew there was anything to drink
but coffee and water.
"And 80 l contracted the coffee
habit early. l remember when quite
young, the continual use Of coffee so
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then
ground 1t In the coffee-mill, as a sub
stitute for coffee.
"But 1t did not taste right and
then went back to coffee again. That
was long before Postum was ever
heard of. / continued to use coffee
until 1 was q, and when l got into
ONCE work, l began to have nervous
spells. Especially after breakfast l
was 30 nervous l could scarcely at
tend to my correspondence.
cat night, after having coffee for
supper, l could hardly sleep, and on
rising In the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
"a friend persuaded me to try Pos
tum. My wife and l did not like 1t at
FIRST, but later when boiled good and
strong 1t was fine. Now we would
not give up Postum for the best coffee
we ever tasted.
IT can now get good sleep, am free
from nervousness and headaches. I
recommend Postum to all coffee drink
ers.

A Wonderful Vegetable.

The bread fruit is the vegetable
wonder of the Philippines. Its versa
tility is revelation. No other veget-
able product of the tropics is so diff
cult to classify. No other is suscepti-
BILE of so many varied uses.
Baked or boiled and eaten with
butter and salt, 1t is an excellent SID
stitute for potatoes. The pulp, with
the addition of a little milk or soup
stock, makes an excellent PURGE.
Sliced and fried in batter it makes a
fine fritter. Served with mayonnaise
or French dressing, it forms the base
for half a dozen different salads, and
finally, when sliced and cooked in a
heavy syrup, 1t offers a delightful
dessert.
An experienced Filipino chef can
serve dinner Of half dozen courses
from bread fruit alone, dinner, too,
that will tickle the palate of the most
fastidious epicure. Unfortunately the
bread fruit season is brief and the
crop unreliable. Almost the entire
product is consumed by the local
market as soor as offered. - Good

Best Dressed Senator.

Senator Flint of California might
without great exaggeration be called
the dude of the Senate. He is easily
the best dressed Senator, not because
his clothes are any finer in quality
than those of some of his colleagues,
but because they fit him better and
are more correctly cut to the mode.
One great aid to this sartorial per-
lection is the Senator's handsome
form. He is built like the Apollo
Belvedere and his waist is as slen-
der as any fastidious tailor could
wish. Mr.. Flint's tailor appreciates
his advantages in this line and does
not lose the opportunity afforded him.
The Senator's frock coat is partlc-
ularly fascinating from the point OF
view of the expert sartorialist. 1t is
easily the most correct" in the Sen
ate, and there are some very modish
dressers in 1.-THE American House Of

To Tunnel Mont Blanc.

The war of tunnels is on in the
Alps. The completion of the Simplon
route, followed by the tunneling of
the Bernese Oberland, now in pro-
gress, has revived discussion in
France and Italy of the project for d
great series of tunnels under Mont
Blanc and the Juras. The object
would be to prevent the diversion of
traffic toward the valley of the Rhine.
Engineers have calculated that a tun-
mel of about eight miles length would.
suffice to penetrate the giant of the
Alps. The cost is placed at $12, 00O,-
600; that of piercing the Juras at
S23,O00,000. The cost for ap-
breaches to the Mont Blanc tunnel is
estimated at $3,OOO,00O. The short
ening of the route between the Eng
fish Channel and Northern Italy
would be only sufficient to save two
hours time on the railroad, but the
friends of the project expect that
these two hours would surely give to
France the traffic that she now loses.

HAS GOOSE FOLLOW HIM.
Curious Habit of George HELEN, Club
man Of Washington.

George HELEN, prominent member
of the Metropolitan and Alibi clubs,
has formed the curious habit of walk
ing down the streets of Washington
attended by a goose. The -Metropoli-
tan club lis credited with being the
most exclusive organization in the
United States.
This is Mr.. Hellen's second attack
of goose. The first occurred some
years ago, when he entered the Metro
politan club one afternoon followed by
a pet goose. Mr.. HELEN is one of the
most popular men in Washington's
smart set. He is about forty years
old Every once in a while he takes
a notion to do something unusual.
At one time he saw an organ grinder
near the Metropolitan club, and AFTER
paying the man a liberal sum took
possession of the organ. When his
fellow club members heard the awful
strains of some long-buried tune be-
ing ground out under their windows
and saw the most popular man Of the
club coolly turning the handle they
were astounded. HELEN sent the monk
ey into the club to collect and a gen
erous sum was turned over to the real
master Of the outfit.
HELEN is popular among the fair
members of society. He is always orl'
ginal, they say.-New York World.
