"coFFEE DOESN'T HURT ME-"
Tales That Are Told.

II was one of the kind who wouldn't
believe that coffee was hurting me-"
says a n. Y. woman. You Just couldn't
convince me its use was connected
with the heart and stomach trouble
suffered from most OF the time.
My trouble finally got SO bad
had to live on milk and toast almost
entirely for three or four years. Still
l loved the coffee and wouldn't believe
It could do such damage.
What I needed was to quit coffee
and take nourishment In such form as
my stomach could digest.
II had read much about Postum,
but never thought 1t would fit my case
until one day decided to quit coffee
and give It a trial and make sure about
1t. So I got package and carefully
followed the directions.
soon I began to get better and was
able to eat carefully selected foods
without the aid Of pepsin or other d.
gestants and It was not long before
was really q new woman physically.
Nov I am healthy and sound, can
eat anything and everything that
comes along and know this wonder
full change is all due to my having
quit coffee and got the nourishment I
needed through this delicious Postum.
my wonder is why everyone don't
give up the old coffee and the troubles
that go with It and build themselves up
as I have done, with Postum"

Is big.

sThe awfulest and the funniest
stage wait / ever lived through" said
a sprightly English actress, was when
a certain well known London actor
manager, whose name 1 dare not
divulge, was doing a tremendous curse
scene on a darkened stage. He had
the audience spellbound with his
sonorous defamation, which, of course,
they didn't know depended largely
upon his ample mouthful of false
teeth. At the very climax Of his blood
curdling maledictions the entire dental
collection dropped out suddenly In the
excitement Of the moment and bound
ed into some obscure hiding place. The
tragedian's mighty voice died down to
an unintelliefble humble as he CROPPED
about frantically in search of the miss
ing masticators. We were all too help
less from laughter to be Of much help
In this critical situation. At last after
what seemed like half an hour Of the
most hysterical suspense, the stage
manager located the teeth with the aid
Of a dark lantern and restored them
to the frantic star, who clapped them
into his mouth and began cursing
again with redoubled earnestness. !
never knew what the audience thought
and no one ever dared to ask the actor

The Caroline islands group includes,
besides coral islands, five mountainous
islands of basaltic formation, beautiful
and fertile with rivers and springs.
Among the many queer legends OF
these children of the Pacific there is
none more highly improbable than
their theory as to the origin of these
islands and their inhabitants. They
think they themselves were very
strong in the water-in fact, they lived
In 1t. The story goes that woman
and her children were floating around
on the reef when q man appeared from
the west with a basket Of soil on his
shoulders He had started out to make
an island with a mountain on 1t. One
Of the children cried out to him, "Give
us a little soil to make place for our
mother to rest, for she is very weak
and cannot swim" He took out a
handful of the earth and threw 1t
down, making an island. AS the man
was going on his way over the water
the son slyly made hole in the bas-
ket, SO as he proceeded on his way he
left trail of land behind. Suddenly
he became conscious that the basket
seemed light. and, looking around. he
saw the land. In his anger he turned
about and trod upon it, and thus the
islands were formed.

The hollow bones of birds are fire.
Quently cited as beautiful instances Of
providential mechanics in building the
strongest and largest possible limb
with the least expenditure of material,
and this is largely true, and yet birds,
like ducks, which cleave the air with
the speed of an express train, have the
long bones filed with marrow or satu-
rated with fat, while the numbering
hornbill, that fairly turtles over the
treetops, has one of the most COM
pletely pneumatic skeletons imaginable,
permeated with air to the very toe tips,
and the ungainly pelican is nearly as
well off. Still. it is but fair to say that
the frigate bird and turkey buzzards,
creatures which are most at ease when
on the wing. have extremely light and
hollow bones; but, comparing one bird
with another, the paramount impor-
lance of a pneumatic skeleton to bird
is not as evident as that of pneumatic
tire to a icycle.-Exchange

seed from the increase bed is used to

BY selecting the best heads for each

rapid and marked 1t takes two or
three years after the improved seed
has been produced to obtain it In suffi-

the results will pay for all the trouble,
even if you produce seed for your own

your new strain is once shown, how

In addition to the selection for yield,
strong straw and freedom from dis
ease there are a number Of other
points that should be considered.
These depend to a considerable extent
on the use to which the grain is to be
put.
In selecting oats the per cent Of hull
is one of the most important points to
look to. This varies from 20 to 90
per cent of the entire weight Since
oat bulls are of little more value than

Not the least mysterious of all the
wonders of the earth is the extraor-
binary cleverness of Dame Nature as

Any one who has ever seen the mar
velous Queen Bess rock on the north
Cornish coast, that wonderful present
ment of Queen Elizabeth, who is seat
ed so grandly upon the sands, must
have asked himself the question as to
how much thing could have been ac-
complished. Continuous trickling Of
water wears away the face of the rock.
Haphazard it was until at last weird
pattern is formed that sometimes re-
sembles a mans face. sometimes an
animal. All over the world Nature
has placed her picture gallery and her
collection of statuary, the biggest free
show In the world.
Another work of Natures that very
often results in extraordinary changes
being effected is a landslip. And land
slips have arisen from the tiniest pos
sible causes. A little underground
flow of water had. gradually under
mined a hill or cliff until at last the
earth became like hollow nut. Then
the soil became top heavy. The sea
beat against its foundations, and mil
lions of tons of earth were flung into
the sea, which proves the axiom that
the tiniest beginnings often produce
the mightiest ends.-London Standard.
