"In the grocery one day my hus- band was persuaded to buy a. box of Postum, which he brought home, and .I made it for dinner, and we both (thought how good it was, but said nothing to the himd men and they \thought they had drank coffee until ‘we laughed and told them. Well we ‘kept on With Postum and it was not i'long before the color came back to «my cheeks. and I got stout and felt. Qas good as I ever did in my life. I have no more stomach trouble, andI fknow I owe it all to Postum in ‘placc of coffee. “One day I t00k a. drive with my husband three miles in the country, 'and I drank a cup of con‘ce for din- ner. I thought sure .[ would die before I got back to town to a doc- itOr. I was drawn double in the bugâ€" gY. and when my husband hitched [the horse to get mu out into the doctor's office, misery came up in my throat and seemed to shut my breath off entirely, then left all in a flash and went to my heart. The doctor pronounced it nervous heart trouble. and when I gob home I was so weak I could not sit up. "So I commenced it again and continued about six months until my stomach commenced acting bad and choking as if I had swallowed something the size of an egg. One doctor said it was neuralgia and indigestion. "When I was a. young girl I was a lover of cofl‘ee, but. was sick so much the doctor told me to quit, and I did, but after my marriage my husband begged me to drink it again, as he did not think it was the con'oe caused the troubles. "So I commenced it again and “My husband brought my supper to my bedside with a. nice cup of not cofl‘ee, but I said: ‘Take that back, dear, I will never drink anâ€" other cup of coffee if you gave me everything you are worth, for it is just killing me.’ He and the others laughed at. me and said: It hardly pays to Laugh before you are certain of facts, for it is someâ€" timos humiliating to think of afterâ€" Wards. body! -" ‘Woll.’ I said, ‘it is nothing else but cofice that is doing it} “Even the Czar's cow cannot bring anything else into the world but a calf." “The Year in the eye of the Czar costs his country many. many a. handkerchief." “When the Czar has the smallpox his country bears the scars." “The troika (team of three horses abreast) of the Czar leave a deep trace behind it." “It is no more difficult for Death to carry a fat Czar than to carry a lean beggar." “When the Czar plays, his minis- ters have only one eye and the coun- trymen are blind." “What the Czar cannot accomplish time can do." It will take a lot of nerve for some Christians to stand up and look over their lives at last and hear the judge say: “well done, good and faithful servant!" In a. recent number of The Paris Figaro were found collated some characteristic Russian proverbs that regard the Czar and his position, and find much current application: “When the Czar ride; behind a tired horse every step is charged as 'a league." “The Czar may be a cousin of God, but His brother he is not." “The Czar's arm is long, but it cannot reach to heaven." "Neither can the Czar’s vinegar make anything sweet." “When. the Czar writes versesâ€"woe be to the poet!" "The Hand 'of the Czar. .too, has onlzrfive fingers."

The same answer came back in the same apologizing tones, “It's me." The advantages of the open-air treatment for consumptives may be thus briefly sumnmrivod: The patient exposed continuously to fresh air gains in appetite. assimilates his food better, sleeps more soundly and awakens more refreshed, writes Dr. H. W. G. Mackenzie. Free exposure to air is the best nntipyrctic. Sweat- ing at night, formerly so common a. symptom, usually ceases. Colds are practically unknown among; patients loading an open-air life. Secondary infection. on account of the comparaâ€" tive freedom of the air from (micro- organisms, is much less likon to oc- cur. Tolerance of oufisiue air is very quickly established, and no one who has tried the open-air life will wilâ€" lineg go back to the former condi- tions of stufl‘mcss. I have never seen any one made worse by-rexposure to fresh air.
