She cleaned in season and out of season, causing the fam ily much worry when sweeping brought on an attack of lumbago or carrying out ashes gave her the grip. One day her patient sister protested. "Why don't you let the maid do those things?" she asked. "She's so careless," groaned Aunt Beulah; "I'd rather have the pain than the dust. I'd rather have the pain." Then the Smart I.ittle Boy jumped Into the conversation. "Well, you've got the pain," he remarked, "what are you kicking about?" Evidence Put In Too Late. A prisoner was being tried in an English court for murder; evidence against him purely circumstantial; part of it a hat found near the scene of the crime—an ordinary, round, black hat, but sworn to as the pris oner's. Counsel for the defense, of course, made much of the commonness of the hat. "You, gentlemen, no doubt each of you possess such a hat, of the most ordinary make and shape. Beware how you condemn a fellow creature to a shameful death on such a piece of evidence," and so on. So the man was acquitted. Just as he was leaving the dock, with tlie most touching humility and simplicity, he said: "If you please, my lord, may 1 'ave my hat?" THE OLD PLEA He "Didn't Know It Was Loaded." The coffee drinker seldom realizes that coffee contains the drug, caffeine, a severe poison to the heart and nerves, causing many forms of dis ease, noticeably dyspepsia. "I was a lover of coffee and used It for many years, and did not realize the bad effects I was suffering from its use. (Tea is just as injurious as cof fee because it, too, contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee.) "At first I was troubled with indiges tion. 1 did not attribute the trouble to the use of coffee, but thought it arose from other causes. With these attacks I had sick headache, nausea and vomiting. Finally my stomach was in such a condition I could scarce ly retain any food. "I consulted a physician; was told all my troubles came from indiges tion, but was not informed what caused the indgestion. 1 kept on with the coffee, and kept on with the trou bles, too, and my case continued to Krow worse from year to year until it developed into chronic diarrhea, nau sea and severe attacks of vomiting. I could keep nothing on my stomach and became a mere shadow, reduced from 159 to 128 pounds. "A specialist informed me I had a very severe case of catarrh of the stomach, which had got so bad he could do nothing for me, and I became convinced my days were numbered. "Then I chanced to see an article set ting forth the good qualities of Postum and explaining how coffee injured peo ple so I concluded to give Postuni a trial. I soon saw the good effects—my headaches were less frequent, nausea and vomiting only came on at long in tervals and I was soon a changed man, feeling much better. "Then I thought I could stand coffee again, but as soon as I tried it my old troubles returned and I again turned to Postum. Would you believe ft, I did this three times before I had sense enough to quit coffee for good and keep on with the Postum. lam now a well man with no more headaches, sick stomach or vomiting, and have al ready gained back to 147 pounds."

Declares Its Agricultural Possibilities Are Small, but Says There Is Good Pasture for Cattle—Deep Bor ings Made for Naphtha. St. Petersburg.—Sakhalin, the for lorn easternmost island of the Russian empire—once the grimmest of convict settlements, and now, since the Ports mouth treaty, Japanese territory in its southern part —is attracting consider able scrutiny as to its natural re sources. Russia is doing much to open up her Amur territory, and the process would be helped if Sakhalin, "the cork of the Amur bottle," were to prove an economic asset. A Russian scientific explorer, >l. Polovo.v. haß just j given the St. Petersburg Geographical I society an estimate of its resources. * Facade of Government Buildings. ; Its agricultural possibilities he rates I as low, but there is good pasture for | cattle. The meat trade, however, is ; not organized at all. Vladivostok. close by, gets its supplies in cold stor ; age from Australia. Coal is probably the best of its as i certained properties. He believeß ! that there are at least ten million ! poods of it in the island. It would find a good market in the western ; states of America, besides in Japan. Deep borings are now in progress for naphtha, which is in as good position as the Baku wells and should be able to compete with American petroleum in east Asia. Gold prospecting has not had success. There is a great supply of timber, of which no use was made until in 1906 a firm began to export railway sleepers. The population, which a dozen years ago consisted of 20,000 Russian deport ed convicts, and about half as many free persons, sank to about 0,000 after the Japanese war. The convicts had got their liberty on condition they volunteer for the war. Russians sold their houses for next to nothing. A whole village was left to caretakers for B0 rubles. L,ast year the ex-con- j victs who had served in the war and ! returned were declared free peasants j and settled near Alexandrovsk, the j seat of government. Sakhalin's weak side, as M. Polovoy found it, is in its cut off condition, not so much geographically as through j want of steam navigation. .Moreover, j the coasting trade is closed against j foreign shipping. There are very few roads into the interior, even the roads prospected by the Russian prisons de partment have fallen back into waste, j Harbors are scarcely to be found at all. Labor is unskilled and there is no ascertainable general rate of j wages. Evidently the plantlessness that has hitherto marked the adminis- 1 tration of the important "cork of the j Amur" will need to be changed if its ! great coal and lumber resources are to get a chance. WON'T SELL JEFFERSON HOME Congressman Levy, Owner for 35 Years, Announces He Will Not Dispose of Monticello. New York.—Congressman Jefferson SI. Levy has no intention of selling !

FATHER COURTS FOR HIS SON Odd Way of Mating Couple In Ber vla—Bridegroom Sees Wife op Wedding Day. Bosnia. Servia. —A humorous plaint often goes up on behalf of the bride groom, whose presence at a modern wedding seems merely to be tolerat ed. But the bridegroom's case is sometimes even worse, for in certain parts of the globe he may not be pres ent even at his own betrothal. The following passage is from Chedo Mija | tovich's Interesting account of the cus toms of his countrymen, in "Servia of the Servians." It is the duty and privilege of ev ery Servian to choose a wife for bis son. As soon as the boy has reached | iiis eighteenth year, the Servian peas j ant asks his friends, confidentially, to help him find a proper wife. He him i self visits assiduously all the fairs in ' his own and neighboring districts — | dressing better I'ian usual —and 1 watches the girls dancing. He makes j careful inquiries about the families I that have marriageable daughters, j In some parts of Servia the young : unmarried women carry a special mark in their headgear—generally a j red feather—to indicate that they are ! open to proposals. When the father has chosen a ! promising girl, he ascertains, through I a friend, whether the parents would j consent to give her to his son. If he ! receives an encouraging answer, he in ' vites relatives or friends togo with j him on the "requesting errand." They : start out, dressed as well as can be. : The father carries a flat wheat cake and a bunch of flowers. One of the ! company must carry a pistol, for it is j customary in Servia to announce ev i ery joyous event by firing rifles or i pistols. They arrive at the girl's house before supper. After eating and drinking—in which i the men alone of the two houses par | ticipate—and some preliminary con ! versation, the father of the prospec tive bridegroom draws from his bag the wheaten cake, puts the flowers | upon it.and places the whole upor. I the table. He then takes from his j money-bag some gold or silver coins 1 and places those, too, upon tl.e cake. "Brother, let us not precipitate the matter," the girl's father will then say. "Let me first find out what my daughter says." He then goes out to consult his wife. This is only for appearance, as the matter was practically settled when the father was encouraged to j come to "beg" the girl. After more or less suspense, the door opens and a male relative bring? —* ' I % j1 ' ' J On Road Near Belgrade. ! .he girl in. He leads her to the father of her prospective husband, before whom she bends deeply and kisses , his right hand. The ring Is finally brought to the engaged girl on the appointed day by a company of the bridegroom's male , friends and female relatives. It Is , chiefly a pretext for the bridegroom's : relatives to make the girl's acquaint- ! ance. The bridegroom is not. present even on that occasion.—Youth's Com- i panion. VALUE LOVE MORE THAN GOLD Spanish Men Often Have Fifty Senor itas a Year—Spain Leads World In Marriages. Madrid. Spain.—Writes one who has traveled much in Spain: "As the ma- i jority of Andalusian girls are engaged : by the age of seventeen the seftoritas do not .goto many dances, for a | Spaniard would as soon allow his fiancee to dance with another man as he would let her wear a harem skirt or ride a bicycle. At their parties Spanish girls get unbounded admira tion, and a senor who has reached the age of nineteen nnd talked to a girl without, trying to make love to her would be considered gauche In the extreme. The guests are given nothing to eat on these festive occa sions. glasses of cold water being simply handed around when they are leaving. "Love Is an all absorbing topic In this amorous land «of orange flowers and revolutions. 'ln Spain we do not talk of money; we talk of love,' a SpaniariJ once said to me. He was right, for love is the beginning and end of every Spaniard's thoughts. On the feast days the young men play no games, preferring to stand about and see the girls pass, and in every daily newspaper you will read of duels fought for some fair senorita's favor. "The typical senor falls In love fifty times a year with a newness and a passion that has In it something of molten lava, and is about as durable. A pair of laughing eyes once seen at a window, a glimpse of a pretty face in the street, and he counts his world well lost. Spain is the most marry ing country In Europe." | TOO BAD FOR HIM. c.— h She (romantically—Ah, what's in a name?" He (absently)— Everything Is in my ; wife's name. BABY'S TERRIBLE CONDITION ! "When my baby boy was six months i old, his body was completely covered with -large sores that seemed to itch , and burn, and cause terrible suffering, j The eruption began in pimples which | would open and run, making large sores. His hair came out and finger nails fell off. and the sores were over the entire body, causing little or no sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs would come off when I removed his shirt. "We tried a great many remedies, but nothing would help him, till a friend induced me to try the Cuticura j Soap and Ointment. I used the Cuti j cura Soap and Ointment but a short j time before I could see that, he was i improving, and in six weeks' time he : was entirely cured. He had suffered about six weeks before we tried the Cuticura Soap and Ointment although we had tried several other things, and i doctors too. I think the Cuticura Remedies will do all that is claimed for them, and a great deal more." (Signed) Mrs. Noble Tubman, Dodson, Mont., Jan. 28. 1911.
