But Il All Came Out Right.

How a sister played a trick that
brought rosy health to a coffee fiend is
an interesting tale:
II was a coffee f1end-a trembling,
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging
to the poison that stole away my
strength. l Knocked at Postum and
would have none of it.
"One day my sister substituted Q
cup of Postum piping hot for my morn
ing cup of coffee but did not tell mo
what 1t was. l noticed the richness Of
it and remarked that the coffee tasted
fine but my sister did not Tell me

not take any more.
"She kept the secret and kept CIV
ing me Postum instead OF coffee until

better color in my sallow cheeks and
a clearness to my eyes, then she told
ne of the health-giving, nerve
strengthening life-saver she had given
me in place of my morning coffee.
From that time I became a disciple of
Postum and NO words can do justice
in telling the good this cereal drink
did me. l will not try to tell it., for
only after having used it can one be
convinced of it's merits"

LARGEST OF HONEY BEE FAMILY.
Found In Philippines-1ui!ds on the
Outside Of Trees-Works Nights.


Apis. zonata, or the large Philip
pine bee, builds on the outside of the
tree instead Of the inside, as other
bees do, usually on the under side of
q slanting tree or branch. They are
not migratory as the Borneo and In
dian bees are, nor do they always Sc
lect high trees to avoid honey bears
rs their Borneo cousins have to do.
They frequently store several pounds
Of good honey, yet they are greater
wax producers. They are exceedingly
vicious when disturbed, often follow
Ing their disturbers several minu -.
This bee is probably the largest and
also the strongest of the entire honey
bee family. It's wing power is about
double that of the Italian bee, while
it lives several times as long, and a
sting or two from it will ause a per-
son to see stars in broad daylight.
Their combs sometimes attain four or
Ave feet in diameter, and are entire
ly covered with a thick mass of bees
arranged as the shingles are on the
roof of q house, their wings pointing
downward.
This bee is a true Filipino. that Is,
it sleeps during the hottest part of the
day and also on dark nights, though
it works very diligently during the
early morning and the evening hours,
while On moonlight nights it frequent
ly works all night. It is doubtless the
only honey bee that is partially noe.

BROADWAY CHEFS SkEPTiC,

Tongues Called a Grand Bluff.
Chefs of the restaurants along
Broadway were stirred when they
were told of a dispatch from Texas
about the dish of humming birds
tongues to be served at a banquet in
San Antonio. They fumed and they
sputtered as they thumbed the well
worn pages of cook books handed
down by generations Of white aproned
ancestors. To be beaten by prairie
cooks from the Rio Grande was
enough to ruf1e the calmest temper
at the range.

a fat little man amid the rattle and
clatter of pots and pans. Cumming

asked.
"Humming birds, 500, to catch them,

Another chef, with moustachios, eye
brows an dhands elevated, exclaimed:
Impossible. The feasts of the Ro-
man em9erors have humming bird
tongue, maybe. Texas do it? No. II
New Orleans, perhaps. But a dish
like this from the land of the frying
pan. No, no., no! A hundred times
not. Mutton grease and humming
birds, W Canard! What you call
in your American poker, the grand

that might have been taken only one
was missing-the pearl that had been

The Gourauds naturally believed that
they had bought back their own gem,
although they could not understand how
the theft and sale of the gem could be
effected in such short time. They
reported the theft to the police and were
surprised to receive yesterday letter
from the government pawnshop in the
Rue de France, Bourgeois asking Gou-
raud TO call. After questioning the New
Yorker closely the director produced the
stolen. pearl, but at the same time told
Mr. Gouraud that it would be impossi-

You are now in the same position as
the man who pawned it here, except
that since you have proved that the
pearl belongs to you, you and only you
can redeem it after the expiration of
the legal delay Of eighteen months"
After that, the pearl will be restored
on payment of the $500 advanced on it

Mrs. Gouraud, who is Of psychic

The Eood Value Of Fruit.

According to a high chemical author
ltv. the principal fruits, from apples to
watermelons, contain from 81 per cent
Of carbohydrates in watermelons TO
1871 per cent in plums, while the same
scientific authority (Atwater) tells us
that protein. the muscle building le-
nent of meat appears also in fruit to
the amount Of two-tentns Of one per
cent in waterynelons to 15 per cent in
figs and currs
The great, unity Of fat. to the
av+er+ of Dc cent, is offered by
cranes. and z mum Of fat in fruit
occurs as OH yea-. f one per cent in
watermelons and ora ages.
But the gre tes' advantage OF fruit
perhaps, is thag il Eers US pure water

Idct that the salts and organic acids,

Thus far their principal value here
consists in advertising the progressive
ness of the dealer in fruit, who deco
rates with them his attractive show

wrok to create for them a profitable de-
mand, even among our rich.
Only one thing about our fruit is to
be regretted, and that is its high retail
price TO the Ultimate consumer. The
ultimate consumer brand is new, and,
of course. a misnomer, but the high
price of fruit at retail, alas, is old.
The latest definition of fruits was sub
mitted by our DR. H. w. Wiley to the
great worlds pure food conference at
Geneva Switzerland, which considered
the repression of authorizations of ali
menaary and pharmaceutical products.
Among his definitions of food standards
he proposed this:
Fruits are the clear, sound, edible,
fieshy qualification of plants, distin-
guished by their sweet, acid and ether
cal fiavors.''

Handshake Strongly Marks charac
ter. Saws Detective.

That a persons character can be told
from his handshake may seen incredi-
bic to the layman, bust such is the as
sertion of Louis A. Houillion, Cincin-
natl detective, who is now in this city.
Men trained in running down crimi-
mails usually adopt some individual
method by which they can size" Up
those with whom they come in contact.
Some look for the criminal marks in
the shapes and sizes of heads. others
scrutinize the ears, and many carefully
weigh the tones and accents of the
voice. But it is doubtful if any one has
developed the handshaking into an art
as has Houillion.
Il don't know much about metacar-
pals, phalanges. distals and thenar and
hypothenar digits," said Houillion yes

to see poor circulation in mottled palms
and blue finger nails, and to pick out

Go know something about the way a
man shakes hands.
It's hard to tell any one just how to
pick mans character from the way
he grasps your hand But it's some
thing any one can learn to do by close
observation and experience.
When you shake hands with your
friends, that is. with fellows you are
sure are true blue, just remember how
they do it. They'll grasp your hand
something like the fellow who appears
to be very friendly, but is all the time
trying to do you up. But jus tnote the
difference.
1.-THE second class will overdo it. They
are so anxious to make a good impress
sion with you that they give themselves
dead away. If they are not very care
full they will make your arm bob up
and down lige a pump handle. That
called the come-on shake.
Watch out for the man who gives
you the cold, snaky shake He's lack
ing some place. He may run along all
right for a while, but expect him to go
off the tangent at any time.
THE man who's bluffing nearly al
ways gives himself away through his
hand His face may be as immovable
as stone and he may never blink an eye,
but he cannot exert such perfect control
over his hand. A first offender will
show weakness in his hand before ne
will any place else. He will usually ex-
ert every effort to keep his voice cool
and unstrained, but at the same time
his hand will be as nervous as that of
a schoolboy who is speaking his first
piece.
''Of course, in applying these tests to
a man, his physical makeup and the
general condition of his health must be
taken into consideration. But any one
who makes a study of llandshaking will
find there is great deal of character
expression in it

But most I want spirit content

I want a spirit passive, to be still
And by Thy grace to do Thy holy will
And when the prayer unto my lips doth
rise,
Let me accomplish some great work
for Thee,
Subdue it, Lord; let my petition be
