San .Francisco's Founder.

A The two hundredth anniversary OF
the birth of Father Francis J.. Sierra.
the founder of San Francisco, will be
celebrated in that city and by many
Catholic societies throughout the ma,
tion on November "a. Father Sierra,
a Franciscan, was born in the Span.
ish island of Majorca, in the Medi.
terranean, November "a, 1713. He first
went to Mexico, and reached the pal
ace of the Montezumas on New Years S
day, 1850 His first labors were among
the Indians of the Sierra Gorda. He
was afterward superior of a band of
priests in Lower California. He ac-
companied the military expedition of
Ga1vez into what is now the state of
California, and established the first
mission at San Diego. At the time
the Declaration of independence
was being drafted in Philadelphia,
Father Sierra and the three priests ac-
companying him were, on June z,
1776, founding a mission three thou
sand miles away on the present site
of San Francisco, which was named
by them in honor of their order. He
died On the 29th OF August, 1784. at
the age of seventy-one.

PASSING, of Malaria.


At a meeting of the Royal Colonial
institute in London, recently, DR.. NAL
colin Watson gave an account of his
work in the prevention of malaria in
the Federated Malay states. He
showed that pool-breeding mosquitoes
could be abolished by open drainage,
that streambreeders could not be so
abolished, but required drainage. and
that countries with no hill-stream
breeders had no hill malaria. He de-
scribed investigations which he had
carried out in other parts of the
world where malarious conditions
more or less prevailed, in the Duars
at the foot of the Himalyas, and in
the Jeypore hills in Madras; in Su-
matra, Panama, British Guiana and
Barbados, and declared that the new
knowledge had given absolute control
over the malaria of low, fiat land, and
high hopes of control over that in hill
land. There was also every hope of
asolishing malaria from rice-fields.
He believed that the prevention of
malaria, the improvement in health OF
the agriculturist and the cultivation
of the land we're all intimately con-
nected and that what helped the one
would improve the other. The enor-
nous commercial value of the control
or prevention of malaria in tropical
countries will be appreciated by all
familiar with conditions in these 10
calities.

Many pale, sickly persons wonder
for years why they have to suffer SO,
and eventually discover that the drug
-caffeine--in coffee is the main cause
of the trouble.
II was always very fond of coffee
and drank 1t every day. / never had
much flesh and often wondered why
was always SO pale, thin and weak.

completely broke down and / was con-

such condition that could hardly take
sufficient nourishment to sustain life.
During this time was drinking
coffee, didn't think could do without
1t.
after awhile came to the conclu-
sion that coffee was hurting me, and
decided to give it up and try Postum.
When it was made right-dark and
rich-I soon became very fond of it.

ONE BOYS BRILLIANT IDEA
Youngster Told His Father to Try
Scissors and So Invented Reap
ing Machines.

In 1880 Obed Hussey of Ohio was In
venting a reaping machine, the first
ever designed in this country.
His chief difficulty was the cutting
device, which was three large sickles
set in frame and revolved SO as t
cut into the grain. It would not WORK
satisfactorily
A young son, watching the expert
ment, asked his father why he did no,
use lot of big scissors, with one
handle fastened to one bar, and the
other handle to sliding bar, thus
opening and closing them.
Hussey instantly adopted the idea
substituting for scissors the two saw
toothed blades which are in common
use today on harvesters, the cutting
action being quite similar to that ol
scissors.
From the boys suggestion he per
fected in one week machine OF
which he had in vain exercised al
his ingenuity for the preceding tw<
years.
The principle of the cutting device
is the principle of all of the great har
vesting machines, and its benefit tt
the farming industry of the entire
world has been unsurpassed by an!
other invention for use on the farm
