MISS ELKINS DELAYS.
Italian Royal Family Gives in, but
American Girl Is Not

PARIS, Sept. IA high parsonage,
in touch with previous preliminary ar
rangements regarding the marriage OF
the Duke of the Abruzzi and Miss kath-
crime Elkins, said Monday that, contrary airy
to the popular impression, the real hitch
was not due to objections on the part of
the Italian royal family, but to the atti-

duke" said this authority, ''there would

'"The Queen mother, perhaps, was not
pleased with the prospects OF the duke
contracting union with an American
but her objections would have been with
drawn. The dukes fate rests with MISS
EIkins herself. If she should say the the
word the duke would be at her side to-
morrow and the marriage would not long

PRESSED HARD.
CoTee's Weight on Old Age.

tOnee'S weight on O1u age"
When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
a superintendent of public schools
IN North Carolina says:
My mother, since her early child
hood. was an inveterate coffee drinker
and 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, l was making an
official visit to distant part OF the
country and took dinner with one of
the merchants Of the place. l noticed
"a somewhat peculiar favour of the cot
fee, and asked him concerning 1t. He
replied that 1t was Postum.
Il was so pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, l bought pack
age to carry home with me, and had
wife prepare some for the next meal.
The whole family liked it so we'll. that
we discontinued coffee and used
Postum entirely.
. Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to It's
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved
This continued until she was as we'll
and hearty as the rest of US.
Il know Postum has benefited N.Y.
self and the other members of the fam
lily, but not in so marked a degree as
in the case of my mother. as she was a
victim of long standing"

TOOK OWN KNIVES AND FORKS.
Custom of Table Manners in England
Even as Late as 1860.

Even as Late as 1860.
Even at so late a period as the restora
ton, 1860, according to the London
Chronicle, it was the custom for guests
to take their own knives and forks to an
English banquet. Pepys records that he
MD this when he went to the lord may
8r's feast in the Guild hall. In the pre-
,nieus reign the lord chamberlain had
found it necessary to issue regulations
Cor the benefit of officers invited to dine
at the royal table. They were required to
wear clean boots, not to be half drunk on
eheir arrival, not to drink more than one
goblet to every two dishes, not to throw
the bones Under the table nor to lick
their fingers.
The Stuarts undoubtedly did much to
refine English table manners, for it was
one Of the points admired in Mary Queen
0f Scots that the customs she intro
iuced from France made her court and
royal banquets more exquisite and gem
-teel than those of her rival, Queen Eliza
beth. AS forks came into use the old
time Importance of the table napkin be-
gan to wane. From being a necessity it
became a luxury, on the fastidious use
ST which etiquette has at various times
placed strange values.
Under the third empire in France, ST..
Beuve brought disgrace upon himself be-
cause at breakfast at the Tuileries he
sarelessIy opened his napkin and placed
It ovei his two knees. To this he added
the crime of cutting his egg in two at
The middle. Court etiquette prescribed
that the half folded napkin should lie on
thn left knee and the top Of the egg was
to be merely broken with the edge of the
noon and drained with tip of the spoon.
For his failings in these respects St;
8euve's name was struck off the imperial
viSitiDr list

upon the cultivation of these lots for
their means of subsistence. By the in
tensive method of cultivation applied,
four or FIVE crops are raised successively,
from these lots. Barren places and
dumping ground have been converted
into gardens and put to useful as Wen
as ornamental purpose. They yield all
sorts of vegetables.
The association has done great and
helpful work, and it is no wonder that
other large cities are inquiring into the
Philadelphia scheme with a view OF
adopting it.-Wilmington News.

City Farming.

City lot farming in Philadelphia has
proved to be not only practicable but
very successful, and the scheme followed
in Philadelphia is attracting attention
in other cities. The cultivation of the
lots helps along in the struggle for ex-
istence. In Philadelphia the Vacant
Lots Cultivation association has Dor
rowed the use of all the vacant lots with
in the city limits that could be obtained
and has given out spaces in these lots
free to needy persons.

General Demand

of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Weh-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.
