COFFEE HEART Very Plain in Some People.

A great many people go on suffering time before they can get their own consent to give up the indulgence from which their trouble arises.
 A gentleman in Brooklyn describes his experience, as follows:
 'I became satisfied some months ago that I owed the palpitation of the heart from which I suffered almost daily. to the use of coffee, q had been a coffee drinker for 80 years) but found 1t very hard to give up the bev- >erage.
 One day I ran across a very sen sible and straightforward presenta- ton of the claims of Postum. and was so impressed thereby that I con- cluded to give it trial
 My experience with 1t was unsat- fsfactory till I learned how 1t ought to be prepared-by thorough boiling for not less than Is or 20 minutes. After I learned that lesson there was no trouble.
 "Postum proved to be a most palat- able and satisfactory hot beverage, and I have used 1t ever since.
 .'The effect on my health has been most salutary. The heart palpitation from which used to suffer so much. particularly after breakfast, has dis appeared and I never have return Of it except when I dine or lunch away from home and drink the old kind Of coffee because Postum Is not served. I find that Postum cheers and invig- -orates while it produces no harmful stimulation" Name given by Postum Go, Battle Creek, Mich.
 Ten days trial proves an eye opener to many.

sea no one loses but the sailor and his widow and ~ eniiuieh Inc property is paid for by the com uH,ly' bs you and by me; for insurance shifts the burden of loss from the shoulders of the in dlVldual to the shoulders of the community Per feet policing of the sea has removed the dangers rom piracy and losses from state or local dis turoahces are paid for by the states and localities responsible.
 And so the old principle of common hazard has been abandoned so far as the shipowner Is con cerned through the operation of maritime insur- ance and modern laws. But how is 1t with the sailor and with you and me? It is easy to see how this has worked to increase the hazard borne by the crew. Formerly the ship-owner would not load hls vessel to the danger point; he would not risk employing unskiled men or too few sailors because he did not want to risk his property Now he does not care; insurance will take care of the risks, and the idea Is to make all the money pos sible
 Let look a little more closely into the condi- ton Of the sailors occupation that has been evolved out of this hodgepod of laws ancient and modern. And then can see very clearly how this condition affects not only the sailor but you and me and every other American citizen brief comparison of the conditions on shipboard under the American flag with those under tie flags of other nations will explain why the Ameri- can boy does not go to sea, and why it Is neces- sary to keep the American sailor chattel slave by law of congress. To begin with the American sailor who would ship the high seas is com
 
 The crimp is the runner for the notorious sailors boarding houses" which furnish crews for all deep-seagoing vessels He is the absolute master of the sailors employment. All deep-sea captains ship their crews through the crimp The crimp is paid out of the unearned wages of the sailor. It Is called advance money" which the law per mits the sailor to sign away and which the system compels him to sign away. The sailors call 1t blood money" The money Is paid by the captain directly to the crmp. In fact all the negotiations tod 4t,r the crimp. The sailor is not consulted at all. having been literally treated to third rail" or The practice smacks very much of the old 21. 1898. prevents the payment of this blood the domestic trade tcoastwise shipping and the mitted in the deep-sea trade, and no sailor ever without having visited the crmp The crimp exists because the law permits him to exist, by permitting the assignment of advance money" One state, oregon. actually recognized the system by statute limiting the amount of bloodmoney to thirty dollars. The crimp ceased to exist in the domestic trade when congress abolished the allotment to original creditor in 1898
 When the sailor gets aboard he Is compelled to live in space feet long by feet high and 2 feet wide This is the legal forecastle space (72 cubic feet) except in sailing vessels built or re- built after June 30. 1898 The sailors call it the dog hole to distinguish it from the fire hole" tfremens quartersl. and the glory hols" tstew

tsted men boarding the vessels or sitting about on hoxes on the docks chatting with friends until Gey should be summoned on board for the cruise fnd always, as the sailors would greet a new com Ianfon, came that remark I've sold my carcass :"
 It puzzled the landsman He did not under stand. but figured out that 1t was some rough pleasantly. He did not know that every man who sails out of an American port in a deep-sea vessel under the stars and stripes must literally sell his body and soul into servitude as abject and as debasing as that of the black man on the southern plantation before the Emancipation Proclamation issued
 For the American who sails the high seas under the stars and stripes Is a slave He is slave under the law. True. he cannot be put upon the auction block by his master and sold to the highest bidder But he must surre nder his Amer. lean brthright-freedom of contract: he must agn away his right to his pay when 1t falls due And he cannot be a sailor without signing them away. And he cannot run away from his bargain ana hls master. If he tries it, he is arrested and taken pack, no matter in what quarter of the globe his vessel is anchored. For by the opera. ton Of treaties with all the maritime powers Of the world, the United States agrees to arrest and return foreign sailor-slaves, in return for which the foreign countries have agreed to arrest and return 10 American ships Americas chattel slaves
 NO man Is ever a slave under the law unless conditions are such that 1t is necessary for his masters to hold him legally In servitude in order to retain his services Every land is full of indus triai slaves who cannot desert their masters if hey would. because there is nothing else for them 10 do but to submit or starve. But the occupation oi a sailor carries him to foreign lands where the lure oi untried conditions is forever beckonipg ana IL would be comparatively easy for him to oesert hs master But here the law steps in. and

cording to the captain of an Atlantic
liner:
Zone Christmas day, hundreds OF
years ago at sea, a ship in storm
was swept by a comber that carried
! off her cook, her crate of chickens,
material of her Christmas dinner.
"But the sailors were determined to
have at least some sort of Christmas
pudding. They knew nothing about
cooking, and they drew lots for their
new cook The lot fell to the boat
SWANS mate.
This chap fshed up a cookbook
from the bottom Of his sea chest He
ran over the pudding recipes and chose
one that began:
MAKE a stiff dough-
HE made pudding after this rec
Ipe. It was stuffed with Malaga raj
sins and covered with a rich sauce.
The men were delighted.

Self Reliance,

The spirit Of self help is the root of
all genuine growth in the individual,
and, exhibited in the lives of many, it
constitutes the true source of national
vigor and strength. Help from with
out is often enfeebling in it's effects,
but help from within invariably invig-
CRATES. Whatever is done for men or
classes to a certain extent takes away
the stimulus and necessity of doing for
themselves, and where men are sub
jected to overguidance and oyergoYerp-
ment the inevitable tendency is to rem
der them comparatively helpless.~Sa

Nobody can dispute the sincerity Of
the players in big orchestra like the
Philharmonic or the New York Sym
phony. Most of the time they take
their work seriously, but sometimes
the men break loose and play tricks on
one another as though they were
youngsters in school. OF course the
audience 8 knows nothing of these
things; they're usually perpetrated In
rehearsals. b..
The red pepper trick is the common
est. The jokers scatter it where the
bassoon and trombone players are like
~ to suck it. up. The result is chokes
and sneezes. Sometimes the epidemic
reaches even into the strings, but of
course the players on the wind instru-
ments get it worst.
As matter Of fact, the jokers are
playing with fire. "a confirmed
sneeZer can't get job in good Or
chestra, no matter how good a per-
former he may be-" said a. consistent
concert goer. "Think of the effect of
a rousing sneeze son pian1ssimo!
Why, it would spoil whole concert,
one sneeze would. A conductor has to
guard against sneeze as he does
against inebriety."-New YORK Sun.

Hearth Used to FORGET.

William Hogarth, the famous Eng
lish artist, was. so absentminded he
caused his friends much entertain
ment. When he was prosperous enough
to have his own carriage he first used
it to make a call upon the lord mayor.
When he came out of the Mansion
House it was raining hard, and the
artist tramped the entire way home,
wet to the skin. When asked why he
had not come in the carriage he said
he. forgot all about It, and a messen-
ger had to be dispatched to the coach
man to tell him to return.
