The Disappearing Horse.

We sometimes speak of the disap-
pearing horse as df he were a white
rhinoceros or a purple COW, or even a
dodo-a memory of the Never-Never
Land. Nothing but motor cars now"
you can hear the people say. And
yet 1T would puzzle a statistician to
tell how many vehicles are horse
drawn and how many motor-propelled
on the average public road.
a paper in the Engineering News
gives the count.
Seven typical highways in Rhode Is
land are chosen. On all but two of
the seven roads there Dis a large ex-
cess Of motor vehicles over horse
drawn vehicles. Over the seven
roads, in eight hours, 1902 motor We
hicles and 695 horse-drawn vehicles
passed. The touring cars OF four to
seven seats each were 848 in number.
Nearly all the horse-drawn vehicles
were of OF light weight, and most of
them had rubber tires"

Clergyman Who Refuses Fees.

The Rev. Norman o. Hutton, who
recently accepted the pastorate OF a
Chicago church, In his first sermon
announced that he would take no
money from any family in his congre-
cation for his attendance at a bap-
tism, burial, wedding or any other spe-
cial service for which 1t is usual for a
minister to receive a fee. The money
somehow robs the ceremony of its
beauty and dignity. The parish pays
the rector for his time and / believe
that he should give 1t freely" That
lisa liberal proposition, but if general
ly adopted many rural clergymen
would be forced to strict economy in
household expenses. Still. the prin-
ciple Is right. The church pays the
clergyman a salary for his time and
1t ought to be large enough so that he
will not be compelled to take fees
or tips from his parishioners for any
ministerial service they may require.

When Financial Giants Die.

AS the Titans who build up the
Standard Oil trust and made colos-
sal fortunes for themselves pass of
the stage OF business activity we
shall realize that new industrial era
has come upon us since their early
days. What they have achieved can
not be obliterated, but their methods
have come under such reprobation
that they can never be repeated. The
change that has taken place in the
sentiment OF the people in regard to
business standards is in no small
measure due to the example they have
on conspicuous scale of the evil re-
suits of unbridled self-seeking.-New

PRESSED HARD
Coffee'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 one of the southern states says:
MY mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drink
or, had been troubled with her heart
for a number of years and complained
Of that weak all over feeling and
Blok stomach.
Some time ago / was making an
official visit TO a distant part OF the
country and took dinner with one Of
the merchants of the place noticed
a somewhat peculiar favour OF the
coffee, and asked him concerning It.
He replied that II was Postum.
Il was so pleased with II, that after
the meal was over, bought a pack
age to carry home with me, and had
wife prepare some for the next meal.
The whole family were SO well
pleased with It, that we discontinued
coffee and used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers CON
dillon, but we noticed that after u.s.
ing Postum for a short time. she felt
so much better than she did prior TO
re use, and had little trouble with
her heart and no sick stomach: that
the headaches were not so frequent.
and her general condition much i'm

as well aud hearty as the rest OF us.

Onions and LONGEVITY.

To the accredited list of aids to
longevity an Ohio woman, recently
deceased, has made an important con-
tribution. This worthy person, who
had reached the age or lis, as those
who knew her are ready to assert, at
tributed her long life to the fact that
she ate onions twice day. She be-
gan this habit when little girl and
never suffered it to abate. Only day
or two before the last summons came
she insisted upon being served with
her favorite dish. 1t is interesting to
note, also, that she ate her onions
cooked and she ate them uncooked.
which might go to show that it was
the ONION itself that worked the mag
ic, and that trimmings and thermal
changes were not essential to it's life
prolonging virtues. - Cleveland Plain

Society and Solitude

Good company, lively conversations,
and the endearments of friendship,
fill the mind with great pleasure; a
temporary solitude, on the other hand,
is itself agreeable. This may per-
haps prove that we are creatures de-
signed for contemplation as well as
action, since solitude as well as socie-
ty has its pleasures; as from the
former observation we may discern
that an entire life of solitude contra
diets the purposes of our being, since
death itself is scarcely an idea Of
more terror.-Edmund Burke.

Dyspeptlcs, Take Notieei

The clutches of dyspepsia are hard
to shake off, but they have been
known to yield to such simple power
as cheerfulness at meals and care I'm

is to practically close up the source
of the digestive fluids. and to eat too
much or too carelessly is to give the
organs more work than they can do.
