Chinese Porcelain Marks. Marks In Chinese characters indi cating the factory or the studio name of the decorator are common on porcelain, says China, Glass and Lamps. Among them are "made at the hall of profit and prosperity," or the "hall for the culture of harmony," or "the pavilion where I hear my faults," or "the myriad rocks retreat."

OLD SOAKERS Get Saturated With Caffeine. When a person has used coffee for a number of years and gradually de clined in health, it is time the coffee should be left oft In order to see whether or not that has been the cause of the trouble. A lady in Huntsvllle, Ala., says she used coffee for about 40 years, and for the past 20 years has had severe stomach trouble. "I have been treat ed by many physicians but all In Tain. Everything failed to give re lief. Was prostrated tor some time, and came near dying. When I re covered sufficiently to partake of food and drink I tried coffee again and It soured on my stomach. "I finally concluded that coffee was the cause of my troubles and stopped using It. I tried tea In its place and then milk but neither agreed with me; then I commenced using Postura, had it properly made and it was very pleasing to the taste. "I have now used It four months, and my health is so greatly improved that I can eat almost anything I want and can sleep well, whereas, before, I suffered for years with insomnia. "I have found the cause of my trou- ties and a way to get rid of them. Tou can depend upon it I appreciate Postum." "There's a Reason." Read "Ths Road to Wellvllle," In pkgn.

In 1844, when emigrants from the Middle States were going to make homes in Oregon, many young boys Joined the pioneers and made the hard journey over the plains nnd mountains. One of these lads, Joseph Watt, of Missouri, is described by the author of "McDonald, of Ore&jn." He was about seventeen years of age, and was employed to drive cattle. He walked most of the way to his new home. "I have borrowed $2.50, Joo, to fit you out," his father had sal at parting, and with that the young man had bought a pair of boots, and in vested the rest in pins and fish-hooRs to trade with the Indians. But new boots! He slung them over his rifle bjk" put on moccasins. At a certain point in the jounuy, away back on Burnt River, the man for whom Joo was driving said, "You had better leave us and hurry on Into Oregon. Provisions are getting scarce. We shall need all there is for the children." "All right. I can take care of my self." Without a morsol of food Joe Watt and Ellsha Bowman struck out with their rifles and Joe's boots. "If we could only eat the boots!" sighed Joe. Bare to the knees from continually cutting off his trousers to mend hie moccasins he st rode through the lacerating sagebrush. "How are you going to get down?" Inquired the boatman, when every other eager passenger had piled on the Hudson Bay bateau sent up by Dr. McLoughlin. Alone on the shore stood Joe Watt. "How are you going to get down?" "I don't know." "Have you any provisions?" "No, nothing." "Can you sing or tell yarns?" "Yes, both." "Very well; climb on to the bow of that boat." So they started. "Well, Figurehead, pipe up!" was the present demand. With sad and solemn eyes, without a smile, Joe sang, told stories. Every body laughed. The weary emigrants needed entertainment, and Joe was a born comedian. The doctor was building a flour mill at the falls, and, with some mis givings, Joe was engaged as a car penter. At night he slept in the shav ings. The first pay day he was rich. With $12 in hand, clothes, soap, Hud son Bay blankets were his. Never blankets felt bo soft. Pass ing his hand thoughtfully ovor the wool, within sound of the potential falls, a great Idea came into the heart of Joseph Watt: "I will build woolen mills on this Pacific Coast." Years later the boy fulfilled this resolve. A DANGEROUS SITUATION. Of the glories of the Canterbury Cathedral the most fascinating is per haps the Bell Harry tower, the Angel Steeple, as it was also called, from the angel that originally surmounted It In "The Life of Walter Pater" is related an interesting story connected with this tower. In the centre of the lantern of the tower Is a circular aperture. In the chamber above there was a windlass for drawing up rolls of lead or other materials for repairing the higher parts of the tower or the roof of the cathedral. At one time, during some repairs, the windlass was managed by a deaf workman, who was Btationed In an upper phamber. When the workmen below brought In any load and had fastened It, they pulled the rope as a signal and he began to turn. One day a vestryman came in, and happening to look upward saw, to his horror, a boy, holding to a rope, rise above the organ, which was then on the screen. Thinking this some boyish freak, yet breathless for the consequences, he hastened to the spot. His terror Increased when he saw the boy nearly at the top, and then, without pause, caw him let down. He came down in safety, but with hands badly blistered, and was almost lifeless from pain and fright. It transpired that this boy, a King's Scholar, coming into the cathedral, had seen the rope, and had taken hold of It and pulled it, with the re sult that the man above began to draw him up. The boy thought it was fun, and that the man would raise him only a few yards and then let him down. He soon found that he was being gradually drawn to the top, so he held on with the grimnesg of desperation. When the deaf man at last grasped the situation, instead of landing him, he immediately, in terror for the boy, began to reverse the windlass, and let him down, which doubled the dan ger. HOW FEAR WON. Here messenger after messenger arrived, breathlessly reporting that at the celebrated canon, the Pecos Pass, fifteen miles from Santa Fe, Governor Armljo was preparing to make his stand, his position being almost Impregnable, and this time the report waB correct. To dislodge him from such a position would have been a well-nigh Impossible task. But what force could not have brought about, save with the utmost difficulty, the terror of the American arms accomplished without a shot. Governor Armijo, having called a council of war to decide upon the best method of meeting the Ameri cans when they should advance from San Miguel, his chief ofilcers took council of their fearg and, deferring to his own, advised against any at tempt at defense. Accordingly the 4000 Mexican soldiers marched out of the abatis, which had been con structed with so much labor, and dragging their six pieces of artillery behind them, proceeded, at no dig nified pace, toward Chihuahua. Ear ly on the morning of August IS the American army reached the defile, now quiet and deserted. "On seeing the great advantage we should have had to fight against," writes Frank Edwards, "we could only look at each other with a stare expressive of 'we are well out of it.' . . . Five hundred resolute men could have de fended the pass against twice our force." But ns It was, the American army marched through as travelers following a dusty road, and "on the evening of the 18th of August we fired a salute of thirteen guns over the city of Santa Fe," thus giving the volunteers their first smell of powder after a triumphal march of fifty days, In which almost a thousand miles of wilderness had been traversed. With out striking a blow they had con quered a province which contained some 80,000 square miles and boast ed a population of 100,000 souls. From "The Mexican War," by Rob ert McNutt McElroy, in the Metropol itan Magazine. PRESENCE OF MIND. Two oil well drillers, Earl Sheets and Frank Winks, near Carl Junction, underwent an experience last week that would make a "feature" for a life and death melodrama. The two men were superintending the shoot ing of a well. Three hundred quarts of nltro-glycerlne had been brought to the well to be used in the shot. A "shell" containing thirty quarts had been lowered, but It stuck In the well. The operators thought they could shove the can on down in the well by letting the baler down In the well on top of It. The plan ap peared to have worked all right, and the baler was drawn up out of the well and part way up toward the top of the derrick before the horrified spectators noticed that the can of deadly explosive had caught In the baler and was then dangling In the air, ready to fall. Just as Sheets and Winks looked up, the shell came loose and started toward the ground. Realizing that if it ever hit the ground those thirty quarts of nltro would explode and kill every one in the vicinity, the two men, with presence of mind, ran under it and caught it In their hands. If they had failed in this, not one of the spectators would have "lived to tell the story." It was a real thrill er. Kansas City Star. COLLIE KILLED COYOTES. It takes a wonderfully good dog to kill a wolf. Yet I knew a collie, "Old Frank," the property of my neigh bor, Mr. John Thompson, of Carberry, Manitoba, that had Beveral times run down and killed coyotes single hand ed. I saw him actually perform this feat In November, 1882. The wolf faced him again and again, but the collie managed each time to escape serious injury from its jaws, and when the wolf turned to fly he would snap at hlB rear. On skinning the wolf I found that the dog's teeth had sunk deep into the wolf's flesh each time, bo that its hind legs were dis abled. The wolf, however, died fight ing gamely. . In my early days I caught a great many wolves In traps many scores, if not hundreds and I found great diversity of behavior among them at this trying time. Some were Utterly cowed, and submitted to the death sentence In Bullen silence; others struggled to escape; somevyelled de fiance, and not a few barked and growled savagely, trying to reach me, raging and defiant to the end. I have often known a coyote to tempt a dog to chase him, then at a safe distance from the dog's human backers turn on him and drive him back with noisy demonstrations that. looked like a wild, practical Joke.' Ernest Thompson Seton, In Success Magazine. BOYS KILL 211 REPTILES. About one mile east of the Country Club at American Lake Is located a gravel pit owned by a rancher of Parkland, who Is assisted by his two sons. The youngsters while explor ing the pit yesterday ran onto a nest of snakeB and started out to kill them all. For more than an hour they fought the reptiles as they came from the cave, and when at the end of the battle the spoils were counted 211 garter snakes, ranging in size from six Inches to four feet, were found. The fight waged hot for some time, the old snakes hissing and spitting In an attempt to protect their young, Many of the snakes made their es cape, but nearly all the big ones fell victims to the shillelahs of the boys. Portland Oregonlan. THE THING TO THINK ABOUT! Captain Coffin, one of the old-time whalers of Nantucket, had a thrilling experience with a big sperm whale In the South Pacific. He had fairly har pooned the whale, when the monster turned, crushing the boat In Its enor mous Jaws and scattering the crew into the waves. The captain found himself In the whale's jaws, but managed to wrig gle out, and he was rescued with his men, luckily uninjured. "Captain Coffin," said a solemn friend, when the old sailor was relat Ing the adventure, "what did you think when you were in the jaws of that great whale?" "Think!" said the captain. "Why, I thought he'd make a hundred bar rels and he did." Woman'o Horns Companion. , London Census 7,000,000. London, according to the last cen sus, has passed the 7,000,000 mark.
