The Rare Gift of Courtesy.

Courtesy includes not merely social
kin iness, graces of speech, absence of
rudeness, but honorable treatment of
business associates and of all the fell
low citizens with whom man of af-
fairs may have business to transact.
1t is not American to keep one citi-
zen waiting all day at the door be-
cause he is poor, and to grant an
ether citizen an interview because it
is believed he is rich. Wisdom is not
confined in purse, and frequently
much wisdom may be learned from a
poor man.

THE DIFFERENCE
Coffee Usually Means Sickness, But
Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the ex-
pertinent of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum in its place and in
this way regaining health and happi-
ness can learn much from the expert
ence of others who have made the
trial.
One who knows says: 81 drank cof-
fee for breakfast every morning until

producing days of discomfort and
nights of sleeplessness. / tried to give
up the use of coffee entirely, but found
1t hard to go from hot coffee to a
glass of water. Then | tried Postum.
1T was good and the effect was so
pleasant that I soon learned to love
1t and have used it for several years

Postum is much easier to make

DEATH Is The VICTOR
IN A FURIOUS RACE
Wild Carriage Drive Through Streets

Chicago.-Death won a race in

had suffered two years from tumor of
the brain. His condition was so seri-
Gus when DR.. Hendelmman called to
see him that he ordered an operation
at once. He said the patient had only

seeds of the weed which are in the
soil, the young seedlings being prompt
ly destroyed by the subsequent tillage.
Conditions in orchard lands are such
as to offer a favorable opportunity
to get rid of this weed, or at least SO
reduce it that 1t does not do much
damage. Many orchards use a type
of implement that has been found
very successful in the control of the
weeds. 1t consists of a beam resting
on the ground, varying in width from
eight to IL feet, with a series Of
knives below, all inclined inward. It's
draft is light, it makes a wide cut,
it can be worked close to the trees
and is comparatively inexpensive.

logs and the small lumber that has
gone to the European market in re-
cent years, the demand for it has fall
en- off and it has been supplanted by
mahogany.
There are other reasons why ma
hogany has taken the place of wal
nut. Mahogany is 80 per cent. cheap
er in Europe than walnut. 1t is much
larger, too. Walnut logs from which
segments four inches thick may be
cut are scarce, and walnut logs from
which such segments 26 feet long may
be cut are almost impossible to get
now.
Another factor in the disappearance
of walnut lumber is that mahogany is
much softer and easier to cut. The
Sheffield mill can cut $4,000 feet of
mahogany a day, but 1t will cut only
10000 feet of walnut. mahogany
log will cut nearly three times as
same size, and therefore it is more
economical to cut mahogany.
Although mahogany is taking the
place of walnut over all the world, it
is not nearly so good as walnut. There
is no wood so good as walnut for fine
furniture and cabinet work. The rea.
son is that 1t is hard, 1t will never
warp and 1t takes a beautiful polish,
it has a more varied and beautiful
grain and the older 1t grows the rich
er 1t looks.
Instead of being sawed into boards
and posts the walnut will hereafter be
cut into veneers not much thicker
than a piece of plotting paper, and it
is only the gnarled trunks that will do
for this.
Circassian walnut, which Is much
used for veneers and costs more than
the American black walnut, Is not
nearly so rich in color and grain. 1t
comes from the Ural mountains in
Russia. II is becoming exhausted, too,
and is very high in price. The wood
of the gum tree that grows in the
swamps of Arkansas and elsewhere is
used as an imitation and substitute
for Circassian walnut 1t is so nearly
the difference. Millions of feet of
gum logs are shipped every year to
Europe and there cut into veneers and
polished and sent back to America
and sold at high price for genuine
Circassian walnut.
In hundreds of homes in Missouri
walnut wood is still used for fire.
wood. But when a man burns walnut
lumber he is truly burning money, for
while the market price of the logs is
less now than 1t was ten years ago
and the demand is less, there is a
time coming when the lumber will be
worth 20 times what it is now. When
the walnut trees that are now a foot
in diameter grow to several feet
through they will be worth more than
any timber that grows in North Amer
lea. There will always be a good de
mand for timber of that size and the
larger the tree the more value 1t will
have.

carriage. Get to the hospital as quick
as you can"
The horses were dashed into a gal
lop and the wife of the dying man
watched at the curb until the carriage
was out of sight.
A few minutes before nine o'clock
the vehicle dashed up in front of the
hospital One of Kosharwsky's friends
leaped out and ran into the receiving
office. He told the clerk that there
was a man outside in a carriage who
needed an immediate operation.
One of the staff of surgeons went
out to the vehicle and on examining
the mans pulse found that he was
dead.
The man is dead" exclaimed the
doctor. I'VE had better notify the
police"
Refusing to believe the medical
mans word. the carriage with its dead
occupant was driven to the Hahne-
mann Medical college, about block
away. Here DR.. MacLean made an ex-
animation and for the second time
the man was pronounced dead.
Half an hour later the carriage with
the corpse in it stopped in front of
the Maxwell street police station, just
one block from where Kosharwsky
lived. The four men who had ridden
with him in the race of death went
into the station and reported the mat
ter to Sergeant Mcclellan The body
was then taken to the home of the de-

QUEER JEWELRY.

Telegraph Wire Necklaces and InsuIa-
tors as Earrings.
The aesthetic and decorative uses to
which barbarians will turn objects
which to civilized races are things of
the humblest utility are amusingly IL
Illustrated by this fashion note" from
West Africa taken from an Italian
newspaper:
For some time the officials of the
German colony IN Southwest Africa
noticed that the telegraph wires and
other accessories Of the electrical plant
disappeared as by magic Immediately
after they had been put up. The most
diligent inquiries remained fruitless.
From other parts Of the German pos
sessions came reports of strange pre-
objections for articles of German COM
merce, as, for example, rubber heels,
garters, buckles, and so forth, things
which the natives of those countries do
not generally use.
The governor of the colony gave an
entertainment one year in honor of
the emperors birthday and invited the
chiefs of the different tribes tor it.
What was his surprise when he saw
these native gentlemen appear with
his stolen telegraph wires twisted
round their illustrious necks. The
higher the dignity the more rings of
the wife were round the neck.
Inquiries were soon started in the
outlying villages, and it came to light
that the white china insulators Of the
telegraph poles had become earrings.
A young lady of the highest distinc-
ton in native society wore a rubber
heel hanging from her nose, and a
young man who was a well known
dandy wore dangling from his ears a
pair Of beautiful pink silk carriers.

CAUGHT THE MOOD.
The Incident That Helped Verdi With
His "Miserere."

Men of genius are confessedly crea-
lures of mood. Grief and adversely
have often been a real help to them
rather than a hindrance. Poe, it IS
said, produced 1.-The Raven" while sit
ting at the bedside of his sleeping but
dying wife. Many similar instances
might be cited, but an anecdote of
Verdi, told by Carlo Ceccareli, will
suffice.
On one occasion when Verdi was en-
gagged ON his well known opera, al
Trova.ore," he stopped short at the
passage OF the "Miserere," being at a
loss to combine notes of sufficient sad
ness and pathos to express the grief
OF the prisoner, Manrico.
Sitting at his piano IN the deep still
ness OF the winter night, his tnagina-
ton wandered back to the stormy days
of his youth, endeaYoring to extract
from the past a plaint a groan, like
those which escaped from his breast
when he saw himself forsaken by the
world All IN vain!
One day at Milan he was unexpect-
edly called to the bedside OF a dying
friend, one of the few who had re-
ud4lCu 1diIulul W HlLl III dONGESllN
and prosperity Verdi at the sight of
his dying friend felt a lump rise in his
throat. He wanted to weep, but so in
tense was his grief that not a tear
flowed to the relief Of his anguish.
In an adjoining room stood piano.
Verdi, under one of those sudden i'm
pulses to which men OF genius are
sometimes subject, sat down at the in
stTument and there and then tmpro-
vised the sublime ''NIiserere" of the
'Trovatore." The musician had given
utterance to his grief
