PRESSED HARD.
Conce's weight on Old 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 one Of the southern states says:
MY mother, since her early child
hood was an inveterate coffee drinker,
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 was making an
official visit to a distant part OF the
country and tool dinner with one Of
the merchants Of the place. ! noticed
a somewhat peculiar flavor Of the cOf-
fee, and asked him concerning i. He
replied that it was Postum.
Il was 50 pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, bought package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were 50 well pleased
with 1t, that we discontinued coffee
and used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers condi.
ton, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
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 well
and hearty as the rest OF us.
Il know Postum has benefited my
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" Read THE

Transmitting Milk Qualities.

The influence Of the male in trans
mitting milk qualities to his offspring
Is a point in which dairymen give too
little heed. Who is there but has not
been disappointed In his heifers from
his best cows by the use of some un-
worthy bull, or, If he has been so for.
tunate as to secure a bull of some
extra milking strain, has not found
his heifers from cows good or bad e..

for in his choice lies success or
failure.-kansas Farmer.

What He Would Do.

This happened in the days when his
tory was made, at a frontier post forty
miles from Il railroad. The officer of the
dag had just joined from graduation
leave. and the recruit on post had arrived
week earlier from the depot at David's
island. And he was one thoroughly dis
gusted recruit; sick of sage brush and
jackrabbits: longing for the sights and
sounds of his native Manhattan. The
young officer was in n bantering mood,
and after having asked cur recruit what
action he would take in every possible
land IMPOSSIBLE contingency, finally
asked, What would YOU do if you saw
an express train crossing the parade
grounds!" Instantly came the answer

east. I'd jump right on it,"-Uncle Sans

excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
benefcially and combining them most
skilfully in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup Of

NOVELTY IN HOME AQUARIUMS.
Made with a Picture Frame Front and
Intended to Hang on the Wall.

A novelty in balanced or self-sustain-
ing home aquariums is made to hang up
on the wall like picture. The tank is
oblong, narrow at the bottom but wider
at the top. The side to go against the
wall is vertical while the front slopes
up outward, as a picture hangs, and this
outer side is i'll fact surrounded with
picture frame.
The back and ends of this aquarium
are enclosed in n metallic holder, with
hooks at the top by which it may be
hung, and at the back between this me-
tallic holder and the back wall of the
glass tank is inserted a picture, n land
scape having at the bottom in the fore
ground brook.
The bottom of the tank is covered with
gravel ana set in the water is suitable
vegetation sufficient to please the eye
and to keep the water aerated, and then
of course there are the fishes, and when
you have it thus stocked you hang this
aquarium up on the wall TO have the
effect of a picture with fishes swimming
around in it-New York Sun.

For Tubercular Children.

Separate schools for tubercular chill

specifically prescribes that children suf-
fering from tuberculosis cannot be admit
ted into the public schools and ut the
same time provides for the compulsory
attendance of all children between the
ages Of and 1G years. 1t is the opinion
of the educational officials that the only

cular pupils.-Me dical Journal.

BRIGANDS' MOUNTAIN CAVE.
Explanation of the Mysterious Disap
pearance of a Servian Band


Last week the population of kragbu-
jcvats and the surrounding villages
joined the police in the pursuit of Il band
of brigauds who had long infested the
neighboring mountains. The fugitives
led the chase through circle passing
through the uarrowcst deiilcs, and each
time they emerged into open space one
at least was missing.
After three days there remained only
the leader, lguat Nolkovitch. He headed
for a distant peak and was skirting an
enormous boulder when little girl
years old ran into his arms. In his per
pleXity the police came mp and dscov-
cred that this boulder blocked the mouth
Of cave. Here Nolknyitch's accom-
plices were found huddled together.
Those who attempted to escape were
shot, but Nolkoyitch, at once impeded
and safcguarded by his little daughter,
was persuaded by his wife to surrender.

Alfalfa Planting
1t should not be forgotten that the
spring Is the proper time to prepare
the alfalfa crop that Is TO be planted
next fall. The ground which Is ex-
pected to be used for this crop should
not be planted to small grain; neither
should corn precede alfalfa, because
the ground will not be kept free Of
weeds and grass. The best prepare
tory crop for alfalfa is COW peas; then
after the vines are removed or plowed
