over-Education a Curse.

But, some one asks, how can you
ever expect boy to graduate from
college or university If his education
does not begin until he is 10 years Of
age? He will be far too old
First / answer that the curse OF
modern child-life in America Is over
education. For the first ten years OF
this, the most sensitive and delicate,
the most pitable life in the world, /
would prepare it. The properly pre-
pared child will make such progress
that the difference in time OF gradua-
tion is not likely to be noticeable;
but, even If it should be year or
two later, what real difference would
1t make? Do we expect a normal
plant to begin bearing fruit in few
weeks after it Is born? 1t must have
time, ample time, to be prepared for
the work before 1t. Above all else,
the child must be healthy animal.

Burglars Are Unknown.

Consul Edward j. Norton, of Mall
aga, cannot encourage American safe
makers to attempt the building up of
trade in that district of Southern
Spain. He writes as follows: Not
over half dozen American-made
safes could be found in this entire
consular district, and the outlook for
the development of the safe trade is
not an encouraging one. The demand
for safes generally is extremely light.
Many business men possess nothing
in the way of safe for the protection
of valuables or books. The annual
fire loss is insignificant, and burglars
or safe blowers are unknown, so there
is no actual necessity for the purchase
of a flre-proof. burglar-proof SAFE,

CLEAR-HEADED
Head BoOkkeeper Must Be Reliable.

The chief bookkeeper in large
business house in one Of our great
Western cities speaks of the harm cof-
fee did for him:
my wife and drank our first cup
of Postum little over two years ago,
and we have used 1t ever since, to the
entire exclusion of tea and coffee. It
happened in this way
About three and half years ago
I had an attack of pneumonia, which
left a memento in the shape Of dys-
pepsia, or, rather, to speak more cor
rectly, neuralgia of the stomach. MY
cup of cheer had always been coffee
or tea, but / became convinced, after
a time, that they aggravated my stom-
ach trouble. l happened to mention
the matter to my grocer one day and
he suggested that I give Postum a
trial.
Next day 1t came, but the cook
made the mistake of not boiling 1t
sufficiently, and we did not like 1t
much. This was, however, soon rem
edied, and now we like 1t so much
that we will never change back. Pos
tum, being food beverage instead Of
a drug, has been the means of curing
my stomach trouble, verify believe.
for I am well man to-day and have
used no other remedy.
"My worl: as chief bookkeeper in
our Co. S branch house here is of a
very conflning nature. During my
coffee-drinking days I was subject to
nervousness and the blues in addi-
tion to my sick spells. These have
left me since l began using Postum,
and I can conscientiously recommend
1t to those whose work confines them
to long hours Of severe mental exer-
tion."

She Can Smoke.

During the hearing of case which
came before Justice Grantham a few
days ago, it was mentioned that one
of the members of certain we'll
known ladies club smoked cigars.
Whether they were mild, medium or
full favored was not stated, but the
fact that woman can smoke a cigar
tends to dispel the popular notion
that she is constitutionally unfit for
such habit. AS matter of fact the
Dowager Empress of Russia, who is

THE THIMBLE FAMILY.

Good Mistress Thimble, neat and nimble,
Drives Brother Needle with a push and a
wheedle,
While light Sister Thread, with a noiseless
tread,
A stitch drops behind as she flies ahead.
Then comes Father Scissors and gives her
snip,
And starts them off on another trip,
Over hem, or down a seam,
Needle and Thread, lively team.
Fat Uncle Emery, bright and true,
When hard place comes will help them
through.
And pale Aunty Wax is willing enough
To smooth the way when they find it
rough
Then Grandfather Bodkin, with many a
jerk,
Will do his part, and finish the work.
Now, where is their home? Well, since
you ask it,
I'll tell you-they live in little work

And to make matters worse, that
greedy old Sir Gregory is coming, and
he always says he never dimes so well
anywhere as here. You don't know
of cook that you can recommend by
any chance, do you, Felix" she asked
desperately.
This wistful appeal touched the
young mans heart. As rule, a sub
altern home on leave is not the per-
son one would naturally apply to for
a cook, but Miss Drury was at her
wits end. Felix knitted his brows
and thought hard for a minute, at the
end of which a brilliant inspiration
came to him.
Look here, Aunt Minnie" he ex-
claimed suddenly, don't you worry
any more. I'll go straight up to town
first thing tomorrow, and I'll find
you cook somehow, and bring her
back with me in the afternoon"
Miss Drury looked at her nephew
with tears in her eyes.
Felix" she said solemnly, eff you
get me out of this difficulty you may
ask me for anything in the world"
Felix was as good as his word. He
departed for town directly after
breakfast next morning, smiling good
humoredly at the chaff of his fellow
guests, and re-appeared triumphant
in the afternoon proudly escorting the
new cook.
I've brought her, Aunt Min," he
announced, rushing excitedly into
Miss Drury's boudoir. "She was at
the Rawson's last summer, and an un-
commonly good cook she is. Blair is
her name, it's great piece of luck
that she was disengaged, you know"
Miss Drury went hurriedly down
stairs to inspect the new arrival and
to explain to her the arrangements

has had a course of cooking lessons

is no end of swell at it."

nephew, Il am most touched by the
interest you have shown in this do

have taken. II only. Blair does not
falsify our expectations l shall owe
you debt of gratitude"
The dinner proved an immense sue
cess, and even Miss Drury had to con-
fess that Parkins could not have done
better. AS for Sir Gregory, he
chuckled with delight and went stead
lily through the menu from beginning
to end.
Really, my dear Miss Drury," he
said when at length he was obliged to
desist, that cook of yours has sur
passed herself. l don't know when I
have eaten better dinner; that
souffle was simply work of art"
Only one contretemps marred the
harmony of the evening, and FORUM
ately Miss Drury did not witness this
little incident, as it occurred when
the ladies had retired to the drawing
room.

aunt's table when the sound of scuf-
