No one Is better able to realize the Injurious action of caffeine tho drug in coffee on the heart, than the doctor. When the doctor himself has been relieved by simply leaving off coffee and using Postum, he can refer with full conviction to his own case. A Mo. physician prescribes Postum for many of his patients because he was benefited by it. He says: "I wish to add my testimony In re gard to that excellent preparation Postum. I have had functional or nervous heart trouble for over 15 years, and part of the lime was un able to attend to my business. "I was a moderate user of coffee and did not think drinking it hurt me. But on stopping It and using Postum Instead, my heart has got all right, and I ascribe It to the change from coffee to Postum. "I am prescribing it now In cases ot sickness, especially when coffee does not agree, or affects the heart, nerves or stomach. "When made right it has a much better flavor than coffee, and is a vital sustainer ot the system. I shall continue to recommend it to our peo ple, and I have my own case to refer to."

Slavery has been almost rooted out ot Africa, but the Arabs remain slave traders at heart, and there Is more buying and selling even In this year ot grace than most people Imagine. Many of Morocco's crumbling cities owe their walls and battlements to the unremitting labor of Christian slaves. There are men still living and working who can remember the days when slaves were openly bought and sold in all Morocco's coast towns. Thanks chiefly, to the intercession of Queen Victoria, this traffic was stopped in the latter part of tho laBt century, and to-day the slave markets of Morocco are held either in the great capital cities or at some of the big country fslrs. In Marrakesh, the Sultan's southern capital, you can count slaves by the hundred; and during tho two hours of tho daily talc the transactions include scores of human beings. 1 may also mention a fact that Is perhaps quite unknown in this coun try, and seems to be a jealously guarded secret In Morocco. It is that there are white women slaves in sev eral parts of the country not Cir cassians, but seemingly women from western Europe! When the market Is about to begin a dozeu men file through the en trance. They are the auctioneers, the dilals, who have been occupied with the representative of the government, giving him a list and description of all who -are to be offered for sale. .iitrtJoa mid Prayer. The preliminary work done, they are now coming ta the serious busi ness of the afternoon. They move In a line ta a point where there is I some Knuuu, nuu men iney mm iu- waru me euau, me hiujiiu buu -vv hind them. The chief auctioneer now offers up an opening prayer. He praises Allah, who made the world and gave the true faith. He curses Satan, who has .sought vainly, but without censing, to destroy man kind. He praises the patron saint, of the city of Marrakesh, and calls upon him to intercede with Allah In order that all who buy and sell iu the slave market may have health, prosperity, and length of days. Such are his appeals, delivered slowly, . oleninly and with a certain measure of dignified gesture; and to one and all of them .the dilals, on either hand, and the buyers, silting lit their ease along tho central arcade or by the walls, respond with a pious "Amen." They hold it is no m.iro than a seemly thing that business should commence with prayer, and the fact that the business happens to be buying and selling slaves does nothing to obviate the necessity. Prayers over, th- dilals break up and proceed each to his pen, or pens, to summon the occupants to range themselves in line. For a few mo ments the confusion is indescribable. The dilals rush hither and thither, ar ranginc their human chattels In groups. Then,, having placed them selves at the head of their respective groups, they rromenr.do slowly around the market. We cannot watch them all, to wo 6elec. an average one, containing a boy and a girl, brother and sister, who have been brought in by a car avan, and are facing a slave market for the first time iu their lives. Be side them are two vigorous men, two able women, two young children and a very old and very black man. There 1b no sign of great excite ment or unrest among the slaves. Only the boy and girl, who are al ready grown up, seem to feel their position acutely. i'he children are obviously uncon cerned, and it they take any Interest at all in the proceedings It is asso ciated with their own bright gar ments, which, by the way, have been lent to them by the auctioneers In charge, in order that they may pre sent a more attractive figure. When they have been purchased their new owners must pay for these gaudy rags or return them. As he goes for the first and second time in a wide circle around the cen tral arcade our auctioneer proclaims the merits of his wares in general term;,, and then a purchaser demands tno price of the two middle-r.go.l men, who sc - to have years of consid erable activity before them. The dilal pauses and presents the two slave3, who reply to various questions that the Intending purchaser puts to them. Bargaining. The dilal himself talks very volu bly, and the result must be satisfac tory, for his patron names a price, and the dilal, with a pious "Praise be to Allah, who made tho world," gath ers his company around him ones again, moves off, proclaiming that the price of the two men is so many dollars, and urging the assembled buyers to do better still. Apparent ly they are not inclined to take ad vantage of their chances, for after the circle haB been completed twice more the dilal pauses again aud hands the two slaves over to- their new master. , By this time ha has a bid for the grown boy and girl, and, summoning one of his companions to complete the negotiations and sign the papers relating to the purchase just con cluded, he hurries off again, extolling the merits of the pair he hopes to sell next. In this case there is some short, sharp competition. The price rises by five aud even ten dollars at n time, and then ominous sign there Is separate bid ding for the boy and the girl, bidding that hints at separation. However, In tho end, a great country kald, who has traveled from Tarudaut, secures tbe pair, and they pass out ot tho promenading circle into the care of one ot bis stewards himself a slave. I watched carefully for some expres sion of emotion on the faces ot these two young people who had been stolen and sold as though they were chattels, hut It was perfectly Impossi ble to note anything more thau be wilderment. Presently there was a sudden in terruption in the market place from a little group Iu front of me. Here we sa-v the one dramatic Incident ot the afternoon. Since the market opened a wouniu, who waB approach ing middle-age, had been tramping round and round without interesting the buyers. Now at last there haS been some small bid for her. It had been accompanied by the usual queries that all buyers make. There had been no hesitation about reply, but at the very last moment, when the sale was completed, the woman raised her vo'-e and cried aloud that she was ot the Hue faith and had been stolen. Instantly there was an outcry, and the concern ot the auctioneer was very genuine, Indeed. If the woman'i protect was correct, and she would hardly have made It otherwise, here was a scandal of some dlmencions, for it is no small matter, even in Mo rocco, to sell a free Moslem wom.-.D Into slavery. After her story had been heard the sale cf the woman was held to be ! a!l Notice was sent to her r-vner, and by the time this little matter was settled the muezzin was calling from tho nearest minaret that the hou.' of evening prayer had come. Wide World Magazine. CH1XKSK PIRATES. The Incorrigible Disciples of Captain Kldd on West River. Lieutenant W. H. Henderson, of the I'nited States Navy, who arrived here last evening on the army trans port Thomas, has been chasing pi rates iu Asiatic waters. He was In command of the gunboat Callao, sta tioned in tho West River, and brings with him from the Orient a whole some respect for the Chinese pirate. On July 13 Chinese pirates at tacked the British steamer Sainam on the West River, about 160 miles from Hongkong. Among those killed was Dr. McDonald, a British medical missionary. Lieutenant Henderson chased those pirutes with the Callao. He was on board the Sainam soon after the attack and says that the meth ods in that ense are typical of tho up to date pigtailcd pirate. The pirates boarded the Sainam at one of her ports as call passen gers. It developed later that each was armed with a modern revolver and well supplied with ammunition. The pirates distributed themselves about the vessel and when the time came made short work of the Sal nam's crew. Captain Joscelyn, mas ter of the vessel, was wounded and escaped further harm by dropping to the deck aud pretending to be dead. Tho mates were killed aud some members of the Chinese crew who offsred resistance were murdered. The chief engineer escaped by crawl ing under the boiler, where he was so badly burned that he was in the hospital at Hongkong for many days afterward. Dr. McDonald, who was a passenger, remonstrated with the pirates and was shot through the head, dying instantly. When everybody belonging to the steamer had been murdered or ren dered hors du combat the Chinese hoisted a signal, in response to which a large junk came alongside. Into this Junk the pirates loaded every thing on the Sainam that was loose or co-ild be detached. They stripped the cabln.even to the carpet, and re moved every bit of coal from the steamer's bunkers. All the brass work that could be unscrewed or broken off was taken, and even the dead and wounded were robbed of whatever the pirates deemed worth while. "We found that junk a few days later," said Lieutenant Henderson. "There were three old Chinamen on board. They knew nothing. The Junk had been moored there, they said, for months and months. It was always there. We searched the craft, but' found nothing and did not ex pect to. "It is hard to believe it In these days, but-there, on the West River, piracy Is. flourishing as it never did on the Spanish Main. These Chinese pirates are wonders. They will steal anything, but manage to get away with a vast amount of valuable prop erty every month. "We patrol the river in the Callao constantly and the British have a gunboat on the same service, but the pirates are the only ones whose watchfulness is rewarded. "Once in a while the Chinese Gov ernment, after an unusually daring attack, will proclaim the arrest and execution of a pirate. As a matter of course, however, these occasional sacrifices to the demands of the Pow ers for assistance in suppressing pi racy are ancient Chinese who would soon die anyhow, or natives whose absence from the earth Is desirable to the viceroy." San Francisco Call. Lazy People Feel Heat, According to Professo.- Morrison, of the University of Chicago, summer is not tho logical season for taking vacations. As shown by the action of certain animals in hibernating, winter Is tho natural time for resting and recuperating from one's labors. "The summer heat is most enervat ing to the idlers, the loafers, those who have nothlug to keep their minds and bodies busy. As proof of this, do we not feel the heat more acutely on Sunday than on any other day? A seventy-five degree temperature on Sunday causes more suffering than one of eighty-five degrees on Monday. The man or woman who keeps busy on a hot day would never notice the heat, nine times out of ten, were It not for the remarks of others who have nothing to do but think and talk about tho weather."
