occasions, taking part. In many
of our country places, too, sing
ing class would meet weekly and at
the end of the season many good
concert was given to raise funds for
libraries, etc.
There is one tribute | should
like to pay to those country people.
In all my experiences with them
and that was a good deal, as the
teacher is usually called upon to
take leading part in most of their
entertainments-I never once had
to complain of an insulting word
being addressed to me. Their good
humored pleasantries may at times
sound uncouth and even rough to a
listener not accustomed to such
scenes. but | can assure you that
there is often less vulgarity under
lying that seeming rough play and
enjoyment than there is in some of
our showy city peoples conduct.
The country people do not have
time to become satiated with fash
ionable dances and meetings of
other kinds, and underneath their
rough exterior you will find the
kindest of hearts ever ready to
give that welcome, which to some
poor lonely soul, often means a
boo,-o,, ,+c,1f r. ,r not 4o o,o on,,p
try this applies, but to all, and in
each Of these there is less of the
empty frivolity and sham found on
the farm than in the city life-more
of pureness and the real enjoyment
of living, busy tho the farmer may
be.
This is what we want to instil in
to the boys and girls, into the
young men and women, and we
want to give them an opportunity
that will lead to unsullied lives.
Why should there be so much of
this sham pride among us? So
much of this caste? The latter is
certainly a most distasteful word,
but it is neither more nor less a
form of caste that | believe is un-
dermining the social life in the
country to some extent. Robbie
Burns has it
"The rank is but the guinea stamp,
a man s the man for a that. -
Yes, it is in our farm social life
that we can prove that that is
where it shows most. 1t is in the

home-and the farm home-where
a man will prove of what name ne
is worthy-his attitude toward ms
wife and children and other IN
mates of his house. And 1t IS here
in the home that the sons ana
daughters form their ideas, and
possibly their ideals, and when
they must carry outside to others.
So that it is not to the one nome
that the good influence extends,
but often to a whole community. .
It is here that the woman plays
such an important part IN the social
life. for it rests to a great extent
with her in teaching her daughter
and in gaining her full confidence.
She can warn the girl how self re-
spect is so easily lost, but so diff
cult to regain. | once heard the
remark at is better to be pure
than innocent" The time has
come for us to realize that. A pure
woman's heart will carry her thru
| her pleasures safely. And if the
mother has to gain her daughter S
confidence and trust, why not the
sons? 1t is certain that the young

ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK
What's the Use When THERE'S an Easy
80 sg.zz- Way o9t9f

Along with the coffee habit has
grown the prevalent American Dis
ease''-nervous prostratien.
E The following letter shows the way
out Of the trouble:
Five years ago / was a great cef-
Zee drinker and from its alse be
came so nervous I could scarcely
sleep at all nights My conditions grew
worse and worse unta finally the ply
stefan 1 consulted declared my drou-
b1es were due to coffee.
But being so welded to tbs bev-
erage 1 did not see how ] could do
without it, especially at breakfast,
as that meal seemed incomplete with
out coffee.
"On, visit, nay friends deprived Ens
of coffee to prove that it was. harm
full. At the end Of about eight days
1 was less nervous. but the craving
for coffee was intense, so I went hack
to the old habit as soen as I got hoaae
and the old sleepless nights came
near making a wreck OF me. -
81 heard of Postum and decided to
try it. I did not Ike it at first, Be
cause, as 1 afterwards discovered, &
was not made properly I found, how
ever, that when made after directions
on the package, it was delicious.
1T had a soothing effect on my
nerves, and none of the bad effects
that coffee had, SO I babe farewell to
coffee and have used only Postum
since. The most wonderful account OF
the benefit to be derived from
Postum could not exceed my own ex
perience.'' -

PORTUGUESE RELICS

Menentoes Of the Invasion of That
Country by Army of the Famous
Vasco da Gama-Are in Ex-

London.-Hither and thither along

famous Vasco da Cana and his lieu

Of preservation, particularly is this
the case in regard to Jesus Fort which
was built by Thomas de Souza Con-

used as the principal prison Of East
Africa.
Mombasa formerly was not SO much
the field where important issues were
decided as seaport tavern into which
every passing pirate entered to take
part in drunken brawl and smash
the furniture. For this reason it is
not surprising that Jesus Fort has
had varied and exciting career. 1t
has been sacked and sacked and
sacked again times without number.
Built by the Portuguese, it was cap
tured by the Turks, recaptured by the
Portuguese, captured again by the
Arabs, and finally retaken by the Por-
tuguese, only eventually to fall into
British hands, in whose possession it
still remains,
