HOME TESTING
A Sure and Easy Test on Coffee.

To decide the all important ques-
ton of coffee, whether or not it is
really the hidden cause OF physical
ails and approaching fixed disease,
one should make a test Of 10 days by
leaving OF coffee entirely and using
well-made Postum,

a certainty that coffee has been your
vicious enemy. OF course you can
take It back to your heart again, II
you like to keep sick.
A lady says: II had suffered with
stomach trouble, nervousness and
terrible sick headaches ever since 1

always great coffee drinkers and let

about Postum that ! decided to give

weeks in place of coffee until / began

headaches and nervousness disap-

" But 1t is neither the one or the 9TH
er. There have been and still are re-
markable notions ahoat concerning
nature and duty. Filial and parental
relations, discussed as they always
are by the parental part of the COM
munity, have a different bearing from
what they would II looked at from
the children's point of view. In our
eagerness to enforce the claims which
parents have upon children, we have
seemed sometimes to forget the
equally strong claims which children
have upon parents.
Surely, when the daughter has
become a woman, she has a right to
direct her life in the manner best
adapted to bring out its abilities. No
human being has a right to appropri-
ate another human beings life-even
If they be mother and daughter. You
say that she owes life itself to her
parents. True, but in such a way that
1t confers an additional obligation
upon them to give her every opportu-
nifty to make the most of life, and not
in such a way as to justify them in
monopolizing it, nor in such a way
as to render her accountable TO them
alone for its use. The person who
gives life is under much stronger
bonds than the person who receives
life. AS Daniel Webster said long
ago, the Creator has so constituted
the human intellect that it can only
grow by its own action; and by its
own action and free will it will GER
tainly and necessarily grow.
"Filial unfaithfulness is a sin, but
parental unfaithfulness is a chief of
sins. The first violates relationships
which It finds. The second violates
those which 1t makes. Almost invari-
ably the unfaithfulness Of the parent
is the direct cause OF unfaithfulness
in the child. There may be extraor-
binary exceptions; but, as rule,
parental love and wise ioTethought
result in filial love and duty growing
stronger and stronger every day, and

Have you ever stopped TO consider
how many birds there are abroad az.
ter nlghttall? Writing in Suburban
Life B. S. Bowdish, the well.known
naturalist, describes many such birds.
The screech-owl," he says, rs prob
ably the best-known member Of the
owl family-the one most apt TO come
about barns and houses and even into
the villages, yet its habits are not so
we'll known but that It is a much.
maligned bird. It's food consists, in
a very large degree, Of rats and mice,
and II Is the quest Of such vermin
which brings It about human habita'
tions, where the pestferous rodents
often swarm. True this little owl
sometimes takes small birds, but they
are frequently English sparrows, for
which he is entitled TO almost as
much credit as for his rat destruc'
ton. The ordinary note OF this
species is a long-drawn, ttemulous
whistle. which can be Initiated suf-
fciently we'll to call the owl to close
quarters. II has. however, a varied
repertoire of notes that, heard in tho
stiffness OF the night, are almost
blood-curdling. It is an interesting
fact that this bird has two phases OF
plumage-red and gray-assumed
without regard to sex or age or the
color OF parents"

GENTLENESS.

zine, who is never obtrusive or self
assertive, but who has a most re-
markable way of getting things we'll
done, and getting people to see things
his way. He does 1t without any
noise or pretence. He does it as the
tender germ of the daffodil lifts its
head up through the hard turf, by
gentle persistency.
No one feels conscious that this
man is trying to influence him, OF to
get him to do a thing against his Will,
but, somehow, most people about him
find themselves doing what he wants
them to do. He is so delicate in his
diplomacy, so gentle in his tact, and
so strong in his self-conhdence that
others find themselves agreeing with
him without really knowing why.
He has a large number Of employees
under him, yet no one ever hears him
raise his voice in anger or assertive
authority. He is so gentle that stran-
gers often wonder how he manages to
have any discipline, and yet every
thing goes like clockwork in his es-
adjustment. His employees respect

best of all-removing the possibil-
ity of sacrifice by making all service
a pleasure.
IF a daughter, out of love or
sense of duty, chooses to sacrifice her
inclinatlons-the voice of her soul

not say that she does not we'll" con-
cluded the speaker. Il only say that
her mother has no right to demand
such sacrifice. Before children are
old enough to choose for themselves
their parents must choose for them;
but every restraint that is put upon
a child for any other purpose than
his own benefit is a sin against a
soul. New York Tribune.
