LEARNING THINGS
We Are All in the Apprentice Class.

When simple change of diet brings
back health and happiness the story is
briefly told. A lady of Springfield, ILL.,,
says:
after being afflicted for years with
nervousness and heart trouble, | re-
ceived shock four years ago that left
me in such a condition that my life
was despaired of.
"I got no relief from doctors nor
from the numberless heart and nerve
remedies tried, because / didn't know
that coffee was daily putting me back
more than the doctors could put me
ahead.
Finally at the suggestion of friend
l left off coffee and began the use OF
Postum, and against my expectations
gradually improved in health until for
the past or 8 months l have been
entirely free from nervousness and
those terrible sinking, weakening
spells of heart trouble.
my troubles all came from the use
of coffee which / had drunk from
childhood and yet they disappeared
when | quit coffee and took up the use
of Postum" Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Many people marvel at the effects OF
leaving off coffee and drinking Postum.
but there is nothing marvellous about
it-only common sense.
Coffee is a destroyer-Postum is
rebuilder. That's the reason.
Look in pkgs. for the famous nttle
book, "The Road to MELVILLE"
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well boil
ed. 15c and 25c packages.
Instant Postum-is a soluble pow
der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
in a cup of hot water and, with cream
and sugar, makes delicious beverage
instantly. goo and soc tins.
The cost per cup Of both kinds Is
about the same.
there's a Reason" for Postum.

SKIN TROUBLE ON HANDS

Cassville, Monty hands and feet
were affected with a trouble similar to
ringworm for a number of years. 1t
first appeared as tiny clear blisters
and in places the blisters were SO
close together that they almost formed
one large blister The skin was rough
and cracked open. At times it was
so bad that it disabled me; my hands
became so sore that could scarcely
use them.
IT used every remedy that I could
find but nothing seemed to do any
good. Finally I sent for a sample Of
Cuticura Soap and Ointment and l
then got cake of Cuticura Soap and
a box of Cuticura Ointment which
completely rid me Of the trouble"

go in more for manufacturing, mining
and the industries The first coal
mine ever worked in all Europe was
opened at Liege by the Walloons

lation, first cousins to the Germans,

nation, while the Walloons, related to
the French, make up 'three-sevenths.

An invitation to breakfast was, in
Macaulay's opinion, one of the SUI
preme tests of friendship. "You invite
a man to dinner" he wrote to Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe, because you
must invite him, because you are &C.
quainted with his grandfather, or be-
cause you wish to see him. You may
be sure if you are invited to breakfast

THE JEFFERSONIAN

This poor land, that has been re-
duced to such poverty that she is
compelled to sit at the feet of more
enlightened and prosperous nations,
with a beggingbox in her hands, is
still sending thousands of dollars an
nually to the Peter pence fund.
Several years ago, when the charita-
BILE people of all lands were subscrib-
ing to the support of Ireland's poor,
six irish bishops went, in all pomp,
to Rome and presented the Pope with
$4,000.
The Irishman is capable he has as
much original genius and enterprise
as ever He has demonstrated that
he can rise as high and sink as low
as any people on earth. There are
other things that Ireland needs more
than she needs Home Rule. She
needs the light of the gospel of Jesus
Christ: she needs to throw off the
calling yoke of Rome; she needs to
awake from a weary, indOlent and
superstitjous past; she needs an ir-
fepFessible current Of truth to wash
away the dogmas OF Rome and the
superstition of the people, in short,
Catholic ireland needs the rule Of
Christ, and not the rule of the Pope;
she needs primitive Christianity, and
not the worship of the Virgin, the
invocation of saints, the veneration
of relics, and the mutterings and in
cantations Of stupid priesthood.

Comparatively few people thoroug ily
realize what a delicate and sensitive
structure the human ear really Is. That
which we ordinarily designate so is,
after all, only the outer porch of
series Of winding passages which. like
tue Hobbies of a great building, lead
from the world without to the world
within. Certain Of these passages con
tain liquid, and their membranes are
stretched like parchment curtains
across the corridor of different places
and can be thrown into vibrations OF
made to tremble like the head Of a
drum or as the surface Of a tambou-
rine does when struck with a stick or
with the fingers. Between two or three
parchment-like curtains a chain of very
small bones extends, which serves to
tighten or relax these membranes and
TO communicate vibrations to them. In
the innermost place Of all row Of
white threads, called nerves, stretches
like the strings Of a piano from the
last point to which the tremblings or
thrillings reach and pass inward to
the brain.
