' Th'i way some persons cling to coffee ven after they know it Is doing them harm, is a puzzler. But it is an easy matter to give It up for good, when rostuin Food Coffee is properly made and used Instead. A girl writes: "Mother had been offering with nervous headaches for even weary oars, but kept drinking coffee. "One day I asked her why she did not give up coffee, as a cousin of mine had done who had taken to Postum. But Mother was such a slave to coffee she thought it would be terrible to give It up. Finally, one day, she made the change to Postum, and quickly her headaches disappeared. One morning while sha was drinking Fostum so freely and with vuch relish, I asked for a taste. That started me on Postum and I now drink It more freely than I did coffee, which never comes into our house now. , "A girl friend of mine, one day, saw me drinking Postum and asked if it was coffee. I told her it was Postum And gave her some to take home, but forgot to teJl her how to mak.e it. "The neit day she said she did not see how I could drink Postum. I found she had made It like ordinary coffee. Bo I told her how to make it right and gave her a cupful I made, after boiling It fifteen minutes. She said she never drr.nk any coffee that tasted as good, and now coffee Is banished from both our homes." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Michigan.

FORESTS KILLED BY TAXES. WILLIAM II. JENNINGS, of Wllkesbarre, Tl A TT I Pa., tells how he has 1.500 acres of woodVf V I lani cover( vtn trees of good size, but

sessor, however, figures up what he consfilers the present market value of the wood, and by his return places Mr. Jennings under obligation to pay the full tax on those trees, though he has no revenue from them whatever . Next year he must again pay on their market value, regardless of the fact that he can market them but once. This Is a familiar story. It is clear that those trees will be taxed off the face of the earth. It will not pay the owner to keep them until mature if he must pay on their market value every year for ten years. Those 1,500 acres will, therefore, be changed, sooner or. later, from a beautiful piece of woods to a wilderness of stumps and brush. Outside of the city line tracts of large trees are very Infrequent. Where forests exist at all they are nearly always of young second growth timber. The tax assessor gets in his deadly work. He Is a worse foe of trees than the insects which prey ujkmi and the Ores which consume them. He Is not so much to blame as the law back of him that allows trees to be taxed when standing Instead of deferring the tax until the trees are cut and made a marketable product. Philadelphia Press.

The same may be said of the British Empire, which fronts upon the Pacific with its two great dominions' of Canada ard New Zealand, its commonwealth of Australia and innumerable other possessions. France has an Important Pacific frontage in Indo-Chlna and a number of Islands. Germany has an Insular empire of considerable extent and possibilities, while that of Holland is enormous In extent and wealth and forms, by the way, one of the strongest grounds for Germany's desire for the Incorporation of the Netherlands into the Teutonic empire. Russia's Pacific frontage, despite Its recent reduction. Is still extensive and important, esieeially because of its connection with Europe by railroad. Japan

In writing of "The Real Malay," Sir F. A. Swettenham tells how he saw a iaby elephant disciplined on the march. There were nineteen elephants in the caravan. Of these, some were too roung to carry burdens, and others, full grown, looked after the youngsters. The hero of this story was about a rear old. We were traveling over a jungle track, which necessitated walking in Ingle ,file. As we neared the foot of the slope leading into the Perak Valley, Malaccn, we came to a gigantic forest tree which had fallen right across the path. Exactly in the path a great slice of the tree had been sawed out and thrown to one side, so that cool.'es carrying loads, might pass without having 'jo get over the obstruction. All the elephants went a little way llong the tree, to where the diameter fvas smaller, scrambled over, and then tvaited In a bunch on the other side. We asked ths reason, and the drivers laid that they were waiting for the jaby, which had last been seen, higher ap th hillside, chasing a Chinese :oolle. We tried to persuada the drivers to to on, but either they could not or arorld not They said the elephants ranted to see the baby past the dUUrulty. Suddenly there was a noise of scat:erlng leaves and rolling stones, and :he baby ambled down the -steep dedines at a really hazardous pace, made traight for the cleft in the tree, dashid headlong into It, and there stuck fast. He squealed lustily. His mother JiumptMl her trunk on the ground, xumpeted In a very high-pitthed voice, ind moved about in so uneasy a way :hat she nearly threw her passengers )ff her back. The baby was caught very fairly by lis ribs. lie, seemed to fit the apermre exactly, his head out in front, his tall behind, and his body held as In a rise. We were very curious to see ;vhat would happen, and had not long to wait. The "nurse" elephant went to the xee and clambered over It where she lad passed-before. Then she slowly jvalked to the path, looking at the Imprisoned culprit as she passed him. She took a couple of steps up the path, and then, lowering her head, ran it the baby, smote him behind with iter forehead, and sent him about ton feet down the path on the other side jf his house of detention. The ungrateful little beast never ven .ooked round but, with the impetus given him, started off on a quest .'or new opportunities for mischief. The "nurse" rejoined the party with svhat seemed to me a curious twinkle in her eye, as If she had administered rhastlsement while 'apparently only discharging her duties In the most orthoSox fashion. MADE FAME FOB "MBS. PAT. Prea Agent's Unlqne Scheme for In treting Nm York In Ills Star. One of tbe most successful press ijenfs at present making theatrical atar i Istory is Toxen Worm, better known In the 'profession" as Tanbark Worm, says the American Magazine. He is the man who made Mrs. Campbell famous. ' She was playing her first engagement in New York at the theater now known as tbe IJelasco when Mr. Worm became her press fgent. Knowing the eccentric irritability of his star, he conceived the idea of spreading tanbark along 42d street in front of the theater to deaden the noises which, he let it be known, jarred upon the sensitive nerves of the actress almost beyond endurance. Some city department granted the authority, and the tanbark wis spread. Th3 story was printed far and wide, exciting laughter, comment, derision. k Finally the talk resulted In a rebuke from officials- higher up to the department which had granted the authority to spread the bark. The tanbark was removed. That meant more stories,

She became the center of newspaper attention wherever she went. The doings of her toy dog, PInky-panky-poo, were chronicled, pictured, caricatured always with Mr. Worm's Invaluable assistance till tlw dog also became a public character. One afternoon in Boston Mrs. Campbell, coming on the stage before the matinee, observed Nick Loretz, her stage carpenter, with whom she was not on the most amiable terms, peeping out at the audience. "It's a splendid house. Isn't it?" said she sweetly. "I suppose you think the crowd Is due to the nice weather?" "No," said Nick, "and it ain't due to you. neither.

and China are purely Pacific powers. Nor must we forget the other American States which look out upon that ocean Mexico, the Central American States, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador. IVru and Chile. It wov.ld be idle and perhaps mischievous to speculate upon the possibilities of any one nation's securing actual dominance uion that ocean. Spain once tried to make It a Spanish lake, but England defeated her pretensions. Russia tried to establish a monopoly of the northern part of it, but was forced by the United States to recede from her extravagant claims. There is no ruor ground for the primacy of any one power there than there Is on the Atlantic. But it is quite obvious that the United States ha: 'certain natural and acquired advantages which bespeak for it an Interest and an influence In the Pacific second to no other nation. It has a more extended coast line on tbe Pacific than any other coun-. try, and it is or will be the owner and custodian of the gateway connecting the Pacific with the Atlantic. In view of these facts and their significance, there can be no rational thought of any step which would Impair our standing or handicap our activities on that ocean. New York Tribune.

The spruce tops began to stir, then the grasses; a breath of wild roses perfumed tin; air. The morning breeze had come. Something came with It straight to Miss Esther Kincald's ears, as she lay in the hammock enjoylug It all after the heat of the city. "Have you sieu the KIncaids' aunt who came last night? Not very attractive looking, Is she? From all the KIncaids had said, we expected somebody quite different," Miss Esther's face reddened and tears came to her eyes. Her slster-In-law had written so much of the Justins next door that she had looked forward to meeting them as one of the esiecial treats otf the summer, and now Miss Esther's lips suddenly took a resolute lim. "Now, which are you going to have, a neighborhood quarrel or a neighborhood victory. prefer victories," she resolved. "I never did like being beaten, and I certainly don't intend to be by a chance remark. The game is In your hands. Miss KIncald!" Accordingly, Miss Esther laid her plans. They Included her prettiest jrowns and her most charming manners, lief ore long they began to Include many other things the lending of a new novel to Agatha Justin, teaching Lydia a new kind of pudding, showing Morris, the week he was shut In the house with a lame ankle, half a dozen games and tricks, helping Mrs. Justin with a pattern, and devising a masinerade gown for Ellie. The gown proved so alsorbIng that before she rt-alized it. Miss Esther's last day haci (Mine, and she was on her w.iy to the station. It hurt her a little that none of the Justins was at the window to wave her ff , even If they had all come over the night lefore to say good-bye. It seemed a little thing to do, and she bad really grown fond of the Justins. Then the carriage whirled round a corner and drew up at the station, and Miss Esther sat staring so hard that she forgot to get out. For there were all the Justins, from Mrs. Justin down to Morris, who carried a banner of his own devising, with the legend, "Goodbye, Miss Esther." There were five minutes of confusion, and then Miss Esther Avas upon the train, her hands full of fruit, candy and a new book. She looked down at them with a long breath. She never had had a "send-off" like that before. Undoubtedly the game was won. But suddenly the game seemed such a little thing compared with friends I Youths Companion. llalnlute I'oatala on Xf tYly-AVeds. "Postal showers" form the newest method of disturbing the peace of couples on their honeymoons. The plan was devised by a man fond of a "practical Joke," and his suggestion found ready and wide acceptance. Though honeymooners seek to keep secret the itinerary of their wedding trips they naturally tell their nearest relatives where they are going. Of course, a member of the family always whispers that secret to another, and finally a persistently inquisitive person gets the itinerary' and proceeds to make life miserable for the couple. " Scores of postal cards, with as many silly sentiments written thereon, are sent to the hotels where the couple will stop. As postal cards are common property, ami as vi!tlng may be put on both sides, the fact that the couple are on their honeymoon becomes known, no matter how hard they try to hide it. At every hotel where the couple stops the bridegroom receives from the grinning hotel clerk bunches of postal cards every time he goes to the desk. When a man says, "I haven't eaten a thing In the last two days," It would bo interesting to know what he has really eaten during that time.

HOPE TO BEAT BRYAN

ANYTHING TO DOWN THE GREAT DEFEATED. Indication oi n Concerted Movement o I'lny Johimon of Minnesota for the Nomination Against the 1'ecrlea but I'macoeiitfol elraikaa. Upon the following declaration by a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States the New York World, a leader of Democratic thought and very able among the Democratic newspapers of the United States, bases Its appeal for a grand rally around the flag of true Democracy : "The commercial and industrial development of this country has reached a point where the proper adjustment of right has become the question of the hour. The present unrest of our people is evidence of the determination shared by all that the fundamental principles of this government shall be maintained. These include the dignity of labor, equality befon the law, the equal enforcement of the laws and entire absence of special privileges. "Great corporations, especially those exercising at least some of the powers of government, must come to the realization that they are as nmenable to the law asjis the Individual citizen. 'The trust problem Is still to be solved; but, while searching for the complete remedy, we can at least withdraw from their grasp the special privileges they have enjoyed under a high protective tariff. "It must be apparent that our present tariff, while mainly responsible for the existence of the trusts, is. In addition, a tax upon the masses for the benefit of the few. "The farming of taxes In France, before the Revolution, was no more Iniquitous than is our present tariff system. Nineteen hundred and eight will be a memorable year for the struggle of equal right and American ideals; the year will see tariff reform accomplished or well under way, for If the. present Congress does not at the present session make substantial reductions the people In November will elect those pledged so to do. John A. Johnson, Governor of Minnesota, St. Paul, Minn., December 2S." Here Js a statesman who. In the time of Iiouis XIV., would have ranked high as a Bourbon, :s one who "never learns and never forgets." He has never learned that under a protective tariff the United States Republic has gained the foremost place 'among the nations of the world foremost In all that makes for human prosperity and human welfare. He cannot forget that U.r a loug stretch of years hatred of a protective tariff, along with fondness for human slavery, was the prime test of Democratic statesmanship. i For h,lin tbe world has not moved. Apparently he does not know that protection Is to-day the accepted and the permanent policy of nlneteen-twen-fieths of the civilized world. Apparently he does not know that his own party Is hopelessly divided on the question of protection vs. free trade, and that If the race Issue could be eliminated from polities practically all the States of the Union from which Democratic electoral votes are by any possibility obtainable would be openly for protection. Swiftly and In considerable numbers have come approving responses from brother Bourbons-i-from Democratic Senators and Representative in Congress, from members of the Democratic National Committee, from Democratic editors all hailing with loud acclaim the free trade pronunclameuto of the Minnesota Bourbon. Anything to beat Bryan, is the undisguised purpose of the World In thus projecting Into the foreground the Johnson candidacy. Anything to beat Bryan, Is obviously the controlling motive of the those who have Yo eagerly swallowed the World's bait, hook, line and sinker. Of course, the movement will not succeed. Nothing can beat Bryan for the nomination. Bryan will be the Democratic nominee upon a platform sufficiently loyal to free trade and hostile to protection to command the support of even the World Itself. And Br an will, as usual, be beaten at the polfs, unless, perchance, the Republicans make some fatal mistake. When the people of the United States get tired of a protective tariff they will naturally turn over to tbe Democratic party the business of tariff making. That is what they did In 11X2. From among the Republican respouses to the World's Johnson "hooraw" there are two that are worth preserving: Sentor Ankeny, of Washington (Rep.) "This Is no time for tariff tiukeri.?. We have enough trouble on hand now." Senator Elkins, of West Virginia (Rep.) "I am not in favor of touching the tariff at this session. We have plenty of work ahead, loth In legislation and business, to keep us busy for a tthlle. 'Don't thaw out any more snakes than you can kill.' " There Is enough In those two expressions to set some people to thinking for some time to come; enough, rightly grasped, to Indicate the kind of platform and candidate the next Republican national convention ghould and should not place "before the Amerean people. American Economist. Kntitled to It en pec I. The Influence which a protective tarill has exerted on the welfare of this country has been so great and so widely recognized that there is abundant reason why the people should continue to pay the deepest respect and reverence to the stand-pat point of view, and urge the greatest care In the inauguration of any movement having for its purpose a change In our existing tariff laws. One cannot easily rid the mind of the tariff tinkering experiment attempted during the four years of the Cleveland regime, and one thing Is absolutely sure: It would be an act of Insane folly to Intrust future revision to the mercies of the free trade party. Johnstown (Ta.) Republican. Couldn't Keep Still. "I suppose," remarked the young man who had just returned from a trip abroad, "you love Miss Naggsby still?" 'Well, not exactly," rejoined his exchum.

Recovering: Our Sanity. There are men who nrofess to believe that this country Is only on the turesnoid or its financial troubles, that more serious times are coming and that the paralysis of industry will be more acute before we can be assured of permanent relief. When asked to support their claim with evidence or argument, they falter or launch into a general discussion of trade conditions and of what they assert to be an almost total lack of confidence. But the facts are that none of them can advance a practical reason for their pessimism. Unfortunately there Is a class of citizen.? who are sedulously Drenchlnz against an earlr return of confidence because they do not want to be discredited as prophets. When the government began its attacks on law breaking corporations these men warned the administration that if It persisted in its policy It would bring ruin and disaster on the country. The reply was that if these offenses against the people were not checked it would spoil ruin and disaster anyway, and that the responsibility must rest with those who held themselves supreme to the law. Now It Is generally conceded that there would have been no money stringency but for the breaking of the copper corner, and the resultant drop In the security market. Banks having large loans out and holding these securities as collateral were compelled to contract their loans and the men who had been doing an expansive business on the strength of their stocks and bonds suddenly found the prop knocked out from under them. The suspension of several banks and trust companies exposed Illegal practices, and this knowledge has had more to do with the weakening of confidence than all the activities of the government. Teople began to think that the only safe place for their money was at home, and the small depositors, becoming frightened, withdrew their savings from circulation. But there is little doubt that the tide has turned. Money Is flowing back into the banks and the statements recently published show a generally healthy condition. Railroads are beginning to project Improvements, and factories that have been closed or running on reduced capacity, are returning to normal. It is announced that 10,000 men will go to work in the Pittsburg Iron districts on January C, and similar reports are coming in from other sections. And when onr' stops to think that the year Just closing has been one of the most prosperous In our history, that our export trade has reached a new high mark, that our farmers have produced a greater value than ever before, and that the general health of the American people Is fully up to the standard, why should we take alarm and stampede like a herd of animals because some stock gamblers have leen playing the game a bit more recklessly than usual 1 Toledo Blade. i Cheap Hide Are Here. The people who have been determined to have the protective duty removed from hides. In order to secure a lower price, ought to be satisfled with present conditions. Hides have fallen in price about one-half. Not long ago some of the newspapers were relating how the high price of hides was hampering the boot and shoe industry. The protective duty Is not great, but they want it removed. Now that hides have decreased in price, we might expect the boot and shoe Industry to go right to the front As we understand It, the hide duty was the only thing that was In the way. Douglas, the shoemaker of Massachusetts, many times stated his position. He wanted the duty removed. He wanted cheaper hides for the shoe factories at Lowel! and elsewhere in Massachusetts. In fact, the whole State of Massachusetts has been excited on the question of hides. We shall expect to read In the papers that the shoe factories of the old Bay State are running night and day, and that additions are being constructed to make room for the employment of more men and additional machinery. If cheap hides make shoe factories run, we want them to start up. But in sorrow we relate that la Massachusetts they haven't the money with which to buy shoes, even though hides are cheap. The shoe factories are not booming. No other factory is booming, and they never do biom when prices are going downward. These are lessons that some people will never learn. In this connection it is interesting to note that organizations of farmers are not demanding a revision of the tariff. The implement dealers mildly suggested that a slight revision would be acceptable. But the corn belt meat producers seem to have forgotten about the tariff. Des Moines Capital. Wallace and the Canning Industry. Mr. Wallace, the Arkansas " free trader, who got several undelivered speeches printed In the Congressional Record, ending with "prolOKged applause," sxid in one of them: ' "The tariff duties which keep out canning factories cost the farmers fully $20 per family per year for wasted products." Mr. Wallace should examine the census bulletin devoted to the canning industry, lie would learn a great deal In the astounding advance it has made under, the Dingley law, and he ought to be told that within a few. days a single order was given to the American Can Company of Pittsburg for 300,000,090 tin cans, and this older came from a single fruit canners association of one State. The trouble with Mr. Wallace Is that he not only does not read his speeches iu Congress, but that he evidently does not read them lu private. If he did he would not be caught fathering such ridiculous trash. Exchange. Ilcr One AVlab.

The Star 31 Ira. For the greatest part of the time the variable Mira, which has been known to astronomers for 300 years, is altogether unnoticeabie and Indeed Invisible, except with telescopes. It once disappeared entirely for a period of four years, but afterward attained extraordinary pplendor, only to fade again to Invisibility. It Is a sun of great size, brighter than our sun when it shines at its brightest, but some trouble, some solar disease, seems to be sapping Its vitality, and it resembles a patient almost at the last gasp. Once in about 331 days but the period is irregular It has a sudden accession of energy and flares up for a little while with several hundredfold brilliancy only to sink back into a dull red point that nearly escapes the ken of the telescope. One Interesting explanation that has been suggested is that the surface of Mira periodically bursts into a vast flame of burnicg hydrogen, so great and powerful that It Is visible across millions of millions of miles of space. It is a star for the imagination of a Dante, yet there Is reason to believe that the time Is coming when every star in the sky, not excepting the sun, will have to confront a similar struggle for existence, Just as every mortal being must some time see death. Garrett P. Servlss, la New York American. A Troeredy of Paris. The tragedy of an artist's life had a melodramatic denouement in a Montmartre cafe In Paris recently. Some years ago a pianist named Margay married a girl of great beauty against the advice of his friends. She deserted him and, though he constantly besought her to return, preferred a life of less restraint. Brooding over his loss, Margay fell on evil days, and sank lower and lower, living In an attic and being , sometimes arrested for drunkenness and vagabondage. The olher night as he wandered Jilmlessly past the door of a cafe on the Boulevard de Clichy he saw his wife enter with a man. Margay followed, clad in rags, and In spite of the waiters went to a piano which stood in the center of the room. Seating himself, with his eyes' on his wife, he played a funeral dirge and then the "Dead March." No one tried to stop him. A deep sob broke from him ss he struck the final chord. He rose to his feet, staggered through the room and at the door drove a dagger through his heart. Catarrh Cannot Be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATION'S, ai thy cannot reach tbe seat of the disease.
