CHILDREN SHOWED 1T
Effect Of Their Warm Drink In the
Morning.

A year ago 1 was a wreck from
coffee drinking and was on the point
of giving up my position in the school
room because of nervousness.
81 was telling friend about it and
she said, We drink nothing at meal
time but Postum, and it is such a
comfort to have something we can
enjoy drinking with the children
Il was astonished that she would
allow the children to drink any kind of
coffee, but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink in the world for
children as we'll as for older ones, and
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be fact.
my first trial was failure. The
cook boiled it four or five minutes and
it tasted so fiat that / was in despair
but determined to give it one more
trial. This time we followed the direc-
tions and boiled 1t fifteen minutes aft
er the boiling began. 1t was decided
success and | was completely won by
its rich delicious favour. In short
time l noticed decided improvement
in my condition and kept growing bet

HIGHEST LINKS IN EUROPE

The highest golf course in Europe is
that at Maloja, in the Upper En-
gadine. The course Of nine holes,
varying from ITO to $50 yards, is he.
tween Maloa and the pass which leads
from the Engadine to the Lake OF
Como and commands lovely views of
the Silser See and the snowclad
peaks; the hazards are chiefly depres-
sions between the hills. The altitude
of these links is about 6,200 feet above
sea level.
The small course of st. Moritz Is
about the same altitude, while that at
ISamaden, one of the finest links on
the continent. is about $500 feet; the
next highest being that of Montana,
above the Rhone valley, about 5000
feet. Maloja is an ideal spot for
those who wish to be quite off the
tourist track, and in a country like
Switzerland it is not easy nowadays
Ito get away from the crowds. The
nearest station is ten miles away, at
l6t. MOgltz.

1t is no uncommon thing to hear of
farm land worth 500 an acre, but for
a land owner to be offered 100000 an
acre, and besiezed by bidders, is de-
cidedly out of the ordinary. Mary G.
Pinkney can dispose of her five-acre
New York farm any day at that figure,
but so far she has turned deaf ear to
all eager to acquire the property.
Watts Farm" as it is known in
New York, is in the heart of the city's
uptown residential district, and apart
from being one of the city's greatest
curiosities-a real farm in bustling
metropolis-it stands alone in the
matter Of million-dollar farms. Com
prising about five acres, it lies be-
tween Lenox and Seventh avenues,
being bounded north and south by
One Hundred and Thirty-ninth and
One Hundred and Fortieth streets.
On this piece Of ground are an old
colonial mansion, an acre of native
oaks, several barns and more than ain
acre of cultivated soil. This minia-
ture farm, owned, and until year ago
tenanted, by Miss Mary G. Pinkney,
is the last of the celebrated and exten-
sive Watt estate, and one of the sur
viving relics of old New York. Daily
an old man who has been employed on
the farm for more than half century,
may be seen hoeing potatoes. or ad.
justing bean poles, while on all sides
of him, separated by an elaborate
fence, the modern city is indicated by
six-story apartment houses. bonking

motor cars and Gathering elevated
trains. On the cultivated area corn,
potatoes, cabbages, beans, peas and
radishes are raised. A rooster and
a dozen Leghorns still keep possession
of the barnyard, and one COW supplies
the milk and butter wants.
The original Watts estate was just
of it. In 1926 Archibald Watt bought
the entire property for $4,000; its
present owners pay taxes on $780,
100000. The visitor to New York in
Watts time saw shanties and
swamps where now stand solid rows
of "bandbox fats" for which the city
is noted. Although Archibald Watt
owned goodly portion of Manhattan
island, he was land poor and unable
to meet his taxes. His wife's sister,
Mary G. Pinkney, gave him the use
of $4,000 left to her by her father,
and when Watt died, by his will he
made her the richest landowner on
Manhattan Island, not even excepting
the Astors.
AS the residential section of the
city steadily crept up town, Miss Pink
ney sold her immense holdings part
by part, until this last parcel known
as watts farm" alone remained. This
she refused to sell. The old mansion
has been the scene of many brilliant
society functions of the old days, and
she would not allow its memories to
be disturbed.

friends were not surprised when they
nounced upon them.
In this time Empress Carlotta, wife
of MaXimilian, was under constant
surveillance at her beautiful palace
in Cuernavaca. She was held nomin-
ally prisoner, and her pieadings and
entreaties that she be permitted to go
to the side of her husband went un-
needed. Then,. according to the oft
told story, came the draught of tea
in which a powerful essence of mari
huana had been placed for the pur-
pose of dethroning her reason. She
took the proffered cup and drank its
contents. The poison soon caused her
to lose her reason and she was OBJ
livious of the fate that befell her hus-
band.
The morning set for the death of
Macmillan, Mejia and Miramon they
were ready when the guard came to
their cell in the convent Macmillan
made final plea that he be allowed
to bid his wife good-gy. He was told
by the Mexican officers that she was
dead.
"Then there is one less tie to bind
me to EARTH" was his only comment.
He requested that his mother might
be permitted to look upon his face
when he was dead, and for this reason
he asked that the firing squad aim at
his boay. He did not want his face
muttlated, he said.
The men were led to the top of the
hill and stood in a row, with Maxi
milan in the center, but he stepped
aside and put Miramon in his place.
1.-THE center is a position of honor
he said Il desire to honor brave
soldier by placing Miramon there"
Maximilian again stepped from his
place and handed to each member of
the firing squad gold piece.
at is my reward to you in advance
for aiming WELL" he told them.
He took his position by the side ol
Marimon and Mejia and folding his
arms across his breast again told the
soldiers to aim well.
All three fell dead at the first vol
ley.

URMs 5000 YEARS OLD

What is believed to be the site of
an ancient British village has been
discovered on hitherto undeveloped
piece of land situated on command
ing hill to the north of the railroad at
Pokesdown, Bournemouth.
The property, which for many years
has laid covered with brambles, furze,
heath, ETC., has recently been cleared
for building purposes, when the posi-
tions of two ancient barrows were
clearly revealed. The smaller barrow
contained considerable quantity of
burnt flint and bone dust, and on a
road being cut through the larger bar
row many urns of great antiquity
were unearthed, few of them in a
perfect state of preservation. They
were what are known as sun dried,
and belonged to the period before the
Bronze or Iron Age, being probably
some 5000 years old.
