Mr.. Montagu had been observing the
young lady before him, not brazenly
and impudently, but In a shy and
modest way. He put her age at
twenty, and he saw that she was fair
to look upon--daughter of widow,
perhaps, and had seen better days.
After he had seen her walk across
the room he made up his mind that
she was almost another goddess.
They were beginning to cross his
path, and he might meet third one

idea seized him, and after turning it
over for couple Of minutes he said:

Usual Fate of Inventors.

Elias Bowe, a Frankfort tailor, has recently died. Some sixteen years ago Bowe blazed the comet of a season. He had invented bullet proofAcui- rass, and for time he was one of the best-known men in Europe. He had faith in his invention, which was com posed of steel casing with a packing inside. Bowe, protected with his cuirass, we are told by Paris con- temporary-but this, we think, is a little gination-submitted himself as target for the fire of squadron of soldiers and came out of the trial unscathed, although various deadly rifles were used. For some reason his invention was not received with favor by the German war department, and then Bowe went to Italy, whexe he achieved, as we read, '1e memes suc- ces ct aussi le meme insucces." Bowe has died in poverty.

FEED YOUNG GIRLS Must Have Right Food While Growing.

Great care should be taken at the critical period when the young girl is just merging into womanhood that the diet shall contain that which is up- building and nothing harmful.
 At that age the structure is being formed and if formed of a healthy, sturdy character health and happiness will follow; on the other hand un- healthy cells may be built in and a sick condition slowly supervene which, If not checked, may ripen into a chronic condition and cause lifelong suffering.
 A young lady says:
 Coffee began to have such an effect on my stomach few years ago that finally quit using it. It brought on headaches, pains in my muscles, and nervousness.
 I tried to use tea in it's stead, but found it's effects even worse than those I suffered from coffee. Then for a long time I drank milk at my meals, but at last 1t palled on me. A friend came to the rescue with the suggestion that I try Postum.
 q did so, only to find at first, that I didn't fancy it. But had heard of so many persons who had been benefited by its use that persevared, and when I had it made right-according to di- rections on the package-I found 1t grateful in favour and soothing and strengthening to my stomach. I can find no words to express my feeling of what 1 owe to Postum!
 In every respect 1t has worked a wonderful improvement - the head aches, nervousness, the pains in my side and back, all the distressing symptoms yielded to the magic power of Postum. My brain seems also to share in the betterment of my phys ical condition; it seems keener, more alert and brighter. I am, in short, in better health now than for a long while before and I am sure I owe 1t to the use of your Postum." Name given by Postum Company, Battle Creek, Mich.

LOST FAITH IN WHITE MAN
Eskimo Tested Efficacy of Telephone Scheme, and Realized He Had
 Been Deceived.

An interesting story is told regard ing the efforts of an Eskimo to con struct @ telephone line. The Eskimo came into possession of a piece of wire of col siderable length and never having seen wire before he asked Professor McMillan of the Peary north pole expedition what it was and what it was for. He was told that the white man strung it on poles stuck in the ground and a voice talking to an instrument at one end could be heard at the other end. After some search the next morning the Eskimo was found to be engaged in telephone con struction work of his own. He stuck some sticks in the ground and hung his wire on them. He held one end of the wire in his mouth and talked to it at the top of his voice. Then he ran as fast as he could to the other end and held the wire in his ear with the expectation of hearing his own words repeated.
 When he failed to hear any sounds the expression on his face revealed his opinion of his white friend.

Aqe of Oysters.

Oysters grow only during the sum- mer and especially during the long, warm summer at that, and are scarce ly big enough for the mouth before the third year< It is easy after look ing over bunch of shells to tell how old an oyster is. A summer hump and the winter sink come across the shell every year, but after the seventh or tenth year full growth comes; then, by looking at the sinks between the humps it is hard to tell anything more about Miss Oysters age. Oysters live to be twenty years old.
