BLAMED DOGS FOR SICKNESS
Little Sympathy for the House
hold Pets.

Disease and the dog were believed
to walk together in the sixteenth cen
fury. The terrier then was as much
q suspect as the rat today. In plague
times he had only to venture into the
street to court death. Here is an or
der issued by the authorities at Win
chester, in 1888, which is typical of
the rest: THAT if any house within
this city shall happen to be infected
with the plague, that then every per-
son to keep within his or her house
every his or her dog, and not to suffer
them to go at large. And if any dog
be then found at large, it shall be law
full for the Beadle or any other person
20 kill the same dog, and ;Hat any own
er Of such dog going at large shall lose
six shillings." Among the records OF
Kings Lynn, under May, 1885. appear
ed this: For as much as 1t hath
pleased Almighty God to begin to
send us his visitation with sickness
amongst us, and that dogs and cats
are thought very unfit to be suffered In
this time Therefore Mr.. Major, al
dermen, and common council have or
dered and decreed that every inhabi-
tant within the same town shall forth
with take all their dogs and yappes
and hang them or kill them and carry
the1a to some out-place and bury them
for breeding of a great annoyance
And likewise for cats, if there be any
sickness. 1t is ordered that
the cats shall forthwith be killed in all
such places" An exception was made
'in favor of any 'dogge or accompte
Such a one was allowed to be kept il

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When a Baby.

II parents realized the fact that cof-
fee contains a drug cafeine-which is
especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink.
when I was a child in my moth
er's arms and first began to nibble
things at the table, mother used to
give me sips of coffee. AS my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals
never knew there was anything to
drink but coffee and water
"And so l contracted the coffee
habit early I remember when quite
young the continual use. of coffee so
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then
ground it in the coffee-mill, as a sub
stitute for coffee
"But it did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again That was
of. l continued to use coffee until /
was q, and when l got into office
work, I began to have nervous spells.
Especially after breakfast I was so
nervous / could scarcely attend to my
correspondence
AT night, after having coffee for
supper, I could hardly sleep, and on
rising in the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
"A friend persuaded me to try
Postum. My wife and l did not like
it at first, but later when boiled good
and strong it was fine. Now we would
not give up Postum for the best coffee
we ever tasted
i can now get good sleep, am free
from nervousness and headaches. I
recommend Postum to all coffee drink
ers.''

YIELDS TO PUBLIC.
Chinese Throne to Grant Parliament
in Response to Demand.

Peking-Prospects for an early con-
vocation of popular parliament look
very bright as it is believed that the
throne has decided to accede to the
demands of the senate and provincial
delegates.
In the senate and in the presence Of
the leading grand councillors, Prince
Yu Liang, member of the grand
council, stated that the entire nation
from the highest to the lowest was
agreed on the necessity of the early
establishment of general parliament.
The senators, who understood this
to mean that their memorial would be
granted, received the declaration of
the prince with loud and prolonged
cheering
The Importance of this concession
on the part of the government can
scarcely be overestimated in view of
its recent refusal to entertain SINH
lar request made by a delegation from
the provincial assemblies last June.
