years of my life if l could even dream of the

cannot save her from that fate by refusing her

marry against her WILL she would be better off
to marry you, who are kind and good, than to

Plank Blown Through Tree.

Each day brings to light ~ new
freak of the recent tornado which
caused death and destruction in
Georgia. AS an evidence Of the freak
ish force of the wind a big pine tree
and a large plank on the property
Of the Hon. S. M. Roberts. about
twelve miles from Atlanta. are now
joined as if done by an expert car
penter. Although the tree was a large
one the plank was picked up and
driven through the centre as neatly
as if shot from a gun. Not only was
the plank shot through the tree, but
went through without tearing the
tree. The plank was picked up in
the yard Of Mr.. Roberts sawmill and
other planks in the pile were not
molested by the wind. So singular
does MI. Roberts consider this ac-
ton Of the tornado that he has posted
a notice telling how the plank was
driven through the big pine and or
dering that it shall not be cut down.

KEEP CLEAN.

A table may be beautifully set and
decorated, but unless the knives are
in good condition the general appear
ance will be spoiled. The blades of
the knives should be cleaned with
soft flannel. If they are a little rusty
use wood ashes rubbed on a newly
cut piece of Irish potato. This will
remove spots where nothing else will.
Never dip the ivory handles in hot
water, as the heat turns them yell
low. Keep the best set, which is only
used for company, in a box, wrapped
first in tissue paper, then a covering
of linen. This will keep out the dust
end dampness.-New Haven Register.

SAVING THE

Pretty nearly everybody is making,
or learning to make, Irish crochet
lace, so that any information on this
interesting subject is usually received
with JOY.
The inexperienced find that the
sharp end of the crochet needle
pricks their fingers and that they,
for this reason, cannot keep up the
work very long at a time. The best
way to overcome this difficulty is to
wear q tiny piece of court plaster
over the tip of the finger where the
needle touches. 1t will not interfere
with the guidance OF the needle, as
a thimble might do, but it will pre-
vent the finger from becoming sore
and will protect it from possibility OF
caliousness.-New Haven Register.

immensely of the Universe.

Suppose that a ROY of telegraph
posts, twenty-five thousand miles
long, were erected around the earth
at the equator--suppose that a wire
were stretched upon these posts for
this circuit Of twenty-five thousand
miles. and that then another complete
circuit were taken with the same
wire around the same posts, and then
another, and yet another-in fact, let
the wire be wound no fewer than
seven times completely about this
great globe-we should then find that
an electric signal sen into the wire
at n end would accomplish the
seven circuits IN one second of time.
Telegraphing to the stars would,
however, be a much more tedious
matter. Take, first, the case of the
very nearest of those twinkling points
Of light, namely, Alpha Centauri.
The transmission of a t~elegraphic
message to the distant u would. in
deed, tax the patience of all con-
cerned. The key is pressed down,
the circuit is complete, the message
pounds off on its journey; 1t winds it's
way along the wire with that velocity
sufficient to carry it one hundred and
eighty thousand miles in a single Sec
ond of time. Even the cares OF
the stars is, however, sunk into space
to a distance so overwhelming that
the message would be four a on
the wire before reaching its destina-
ton, and there are stars so remote
that If the news of Christ's birth had
been telegraphed from Bethlehem il
A. D. /, it would now have beer
speeding on for nineteen hundred
years without arriving.
Yet it would take but eight minute:
for a telegram to reach the sun

PRESSED HARD
Cofee's Weight ON Old Age.

When prominent men realize the
Injurious effects of coffee and the
change in health that Postum can
bring, they are glad to lend their tes-
timony for the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in n of the southern states says:
my mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drink
eer, had been troubled with her heart
for a number of years and complained
of that weak all over feeling and
sick stomach.
"Some time ago I was making an
official visit to a distant part Of the
country and took dinner with one Of
the merchants of the place. l noticed
a somewhat peculiar favour of the
coffee, and asked him concerning it.
He replied that it was Postum.
II was SO pleased with 1t, that after
the meal was over, I bought a pack
age to carry home with me, and had
wife prepare some for the next meal.
The whole family were so we'll
pleased with it, that we discontinued
coffee and used Postum entirely.
