HOME TESTING.

A Sure and Easy Test on Coffee.
To decide the all important question
OF coffee. whether or not it is really
the hidden cause Of physical ails and
approaching fixed disease, one should
make test of 10 days by leaving off
coffee entirely and using well-made
Postum.

THE DERELICT.

With decks awash, a living death,
My devious way / keep;
The sport of every temper's breath,
The plaything of the deep.
Where the dark storm clouds whirl and rave
I 20, unburied, lOrn,
OF wind and wave the sullen slave,
Forever drifting TO the grave,
Forever backward borne
League upon league, from strand t0 strand
Sailing unmarked, alone;
A spectre ship, by phantoms manned
A thing of neither sea nor land,
On through the vast unknown.
Above, the Furnished arch of sky.
Abysma depths below me lie,
Pierced by no kindly ray,
Where scaly monsters silent glide.
And those who sank beneath the tide
In sunless, soundless caves abide,
Waiting the Judgment Day.
At night, the far horizons verge
Echoes a dismal knell
Where, tossing on the murmuring surge
That sings a mournful funeral dirge
Rings out the warning bell:
Yet still from risk of rock and reef
The wild winds steer me free,
To rove, grim messenger of grief,
Still stealing like a midnight thief
The vampire of the sea.

The Cost of Living

A correspondent of the New York
World calls that papers attention to
the fact that neither the tariff nor the
trusts, nor both together, account for the
extortionate. unmerciful and inhuman
prices which the people in that city are
forced to pay for many of the neces-
saries of life Not satisfied with gener-
alities. he remarks:
For instance, a grocery and liquor house
puts up and sells a fine appearing package
of fancy evaporated apples, blue ribbon
brand, with colored picture Of the ribbon,
etc These paper boxes of dried apples sell
for 10 and IA cents each containing less
than 2 cents worth in quantity and first
cost of very defective fruit. A very cheap,
mostly worm eaten and spotted grade OF
culed or waste apples, such as the farmer
feeds to his pigs or sells for 10 to % cents
per bushel, is partly cOred, partly pared or
peeled and thus recommended and sold for
from 500 TO 700 per cent. profit. Fruit
growers and farmers in New Jersey within
sixty miles of our city can get but 60 to 50
cents per barrel for good apples, pears and
peaches. And they buy the barrels besides
carefully raising. picking. and packing the
fruit. Buying the same fruit in New York
in small baskets or by the haf-doZen. you
and l pay at the rate of 81 to SO per bar
rel.
The same thing in kind if not in de-
gree exists in every city from the At
lantic to the Pacific. ExtortiOn in part
as a general rule it is chiefly due
to the smallness of the quantities
in which the consumer buys his house
hold supplies. People who purchase
their coal by the bucket pay vastly more
for it than those who buy by the ton.
1t costs nearly as much to sell the
one as the other, and the seller figures
that he is as much entitled to live as
anybody. That the dealers who charge
the big prices do not grow rich as
class is evidence that they are not such
shameless robbers, after all. The fact
is that they are so numerous that com
petition keeps any one of them from
securing and retaining a wide patronage.
The advantage of ''quick sales and
small profits" probably would appeal to
them as strongly as it does to dry goods
merchants. if they could obtain it. but
small sales make a large percentage of
profit the only escape from bankruptcy
Consumers themselves could remedy
the situation TO great extent by buying
in larger quantities, as everybody used
to do in earlier days. OF course,
however. there are difficulties in the
storing of supplies for people who live
in flats"

ALPINE ADVENTURE.

In the northeastern corner OF the
Tyrol is the best skee-ground in Eu-
rope, writes w. A. Baillie-Grohman in
'Tyrol." The region has many lofty
peaks, which makes mountain climb
ing of interest. The author gives one
of his adventures on a peak near the
village of Kitzbuehel.
"On one of these peaks occurred to
me many years ago little adven.
ture which gave me an opportunity
of admiring the grand view rather
longer than was pleasant.
Il was out stalking chamois and
having some unoccupied hours in the
middle of the day, when stalking is
practically useless, as the beasts are

I had recourse to a short length Of
rope I had in my ruckSdck. Making
a sltp-noose, l threw 1t upward till 1t

myself up.
While looking about me. an unfor'
tunate movement of my legs. which
were dangling over the brink as I
sat, caused the rope to slip and fall
down to the small ledge on which
had stood when flinging it upward.
This ledge, or band of rock, was IN
comfortably narrow. not wider than
thirty inches, and the abyss below
was perpendicular wall four or I'VE

'At first it did not seem such a seri-

A Strenuous Stage Effort.

Paul Armstrong is the strong man of
the drama.
When babe in his cradle it is told
of the author Of Via Wireless and

mad bull with one blow Of his nursing
bottle, and when only years old he
eXtinguished the flames that were de-
youring the old home and bore the
shreking women folk of his family safe
~ forth from the smoke and reek of the
conhagration to a place of safety.
Similar deeds have employed him from
time to time since then, and he always
knocks out several professional boxers
before breakfast each morning-besides
Frederic Edward Mckays pieces about
the stage.
