AN OLD TIMER Has Had Experiences.

A woman who has used Postum since it came upon the market knows from experience the wisdom of us- ing Postum in place of coffee if one values health and a clear brain. She says:
 At the time Postum was first put on the market I was suffering from nervous dyspepsia, and my physician had repeatedly told me not to use tea or coffee. Finally decided to take his advice and try Postum got package and had it carefully prepared, finding it delicious to the taste. So I continued it's use and very soon it's beneficial effects convinced me of it's value, for I got well of my nervousness and dyspepsia.
 My husband had been drinking cof- fee all his life until it had affected his nerves terribly, and I persuaded him to shift to Postum. It was easy to get him to make the change for the Postum is so delicious. It cer. tainly worked wonders for him.
 We soon learned that Postum does not exhilarate nor depress and does
 
 not stimulate, but steadily and honest ly strengthens the nerves and the stomach.
 To make long story short, our en. tire family continued to use Postum with satisfying results, as shown in our fine condition of health and we have noticed rather unexpected i'm provement in brain and nerve power" Increased brain and nerve power always follow the use of Postum in place of coffee, sometimes in a very marked manner. There's a Reason" Look in pkgs for the famous little book. The Road to Melville" Ever read the above letter. A new one appears from time to time. They are eenuines true, and fu' of human

To detect this light from the earth on the lunar surface and scientifically prove it's existence is another natter It is interesting to find that recent number of French astronomical paper contains two pho tographs of parts of the moon illum- mated by earth light. They were taken by M. Quenisset at the Juvisy observatory.

The Marital Grasshopper

What is a grasshopper? The latest definition comes from western Aus tralia. Domestic servants are almost unprocurable there, and wives have to do nearly all their own household work. The consequence is that they are compelled to recuperate at the sea side in summer. In their absence the husbands have to prepare their own meals and do domestic duty generally, Husbands so engaged have come to be locally known as "grasshoppers." No doubt the word is the husband of the more familiar "grass widow don Chronicle.

PATHETIC POEM
ABOUT BRAKEMAN
Eugene Field Brown Jots Down Bal.
lad Which is Very
Sad.

Eugene Brown OF the Quincy Herald
In a spasm of depression penned the
following pathetic poetry. 1t is en-
titled "The Dying Brakeman:
A brakeman on the Long Line
Was dying and in pain,
For across his manly bosom
There had passed moving train.
So with tender hands TREY bore him
Through the nearest station door,
While the plying throng about hin
Hardened to his muffled roar:
Take a message and token
From brakeman who is broke"
And those who stopped to listen
Heard these last words he spoke:
Don't bury me in Hannibal
Because, though have sinned,
am not half as bad as that
And am too thinly skinned.
Don't bury me in Keokuk
That town / always dread,
But plant me deep in Burlington
And then I'll know I'm dead.''
The dying brakeman faltered,
His breath came thick and slow;
He had left his faithful message,
And now felt prepared to go.
But his comrades stood beside him,
To console him to the last,
And with a grewsome shudder
They knew that he had passed.
In the papers in his pocket,
AS he lay there cold and still,
They found that he had written
These words. as his last will:
| Don't bury me in Quincy
Or I'll never get no rest,
Don't bury me in Keokuk
1 Cause hate to wear a vest.
Don't bury me in Monmouth.
For they know the life I've led;
But plant me deep in Burlington
And then I'll know I'm dead"

Faithful Unto Death.

A pathetic story of heroic devotion
to duty comes from Montreuil-sur-
Mer, France. NJ. Lepercq. who was
In charge Of the lighthouse at Aipreck,
near Boiogne. was recently taken III
with influenza and had TO go to bed.
One evening his substitute came 70
NJ. Lepercq and explained that he was
unable to light the lamp. and in view
OF the grave consequences that the
absence OF the light might entail. the
sick man rose from his bed, and In
spite OF the snow and wind. made mis-
way to the lighthouse. where after
considerable effort be was able tc
light the lamp. He returned home,
but died two days later OF cerebral
congestion. the result OF exposure &c
the inclement weather. The humble
hero would have been entitled to his
pension in Eve years.
