Brass Band Cures catalepsy

An extraordinary instance of the
curative power of music is recorded in
newspapers recently arrived from
Italy. In a Naples hospital lay a GER
tain Francesca Messina who had ar
rived from New York in a condition OF
coma. He had been asleep for seven
moSths and nothing the doctors could
do would arouse him.
The Countess Cell, visiting the hos
pital, suggested that brass band be
engaged to play expressly for the
sleeper The doctors laughed at her,
but she got the band, brought it to the
hospital, stationed it under the win
dow of the ward in which Messina was
sleeping and made it play its loudest
and liveliest pieces. after an hour OF
drumming and trumpeting. Messina
suddenly sat up, wide awake. He was
cured and was at once discharged
This is the third time he has had such
a cataleptic attack, the first having
been precipitated by his sweetheart
jilting him.

ROTTEN COFFEE.

When your coffee is harsh and
nasty, you may know that the berries
have fallen from the tree, and have
been swept up from the ground after
a certain amount of deterioration.
Remember, then, that there is one
line of coffee that is all hand picked
and pure, and buy pound of Denison's
Coffee for trial.
Denison's Coffees are always packed
in cans, cartons or bags. None other
is genuine.
If your grocer does not have Den
ison's Coffee, write the Denison Coffee

That Stamped Return Envelope.

among the many letters | receive

occasionally, II get now and then one
that contains return addressed en-
velope with stamp on it.
This must be an expensive way of
sending out circulars, but I am in
clined to think it pays. At any rate

II should not feel warranted in
using that stamp for my own personal
purposes, and Of course it would be
wasteful to throw it away; and then it
seems to me businesslike method of
proceeding, thus to make it very easy
for the person addressed to reply
Further, l rather admire the sporting
spirit of an institution that is willing
to risk two-cent stamp on the chance
of getting something more in return.

peals containing an addressed and
