DIAMOND HAS MANY VIRTUES I
But According to Superstition the
Gem Must Be a Gift to Person
Who Wears It.
According to superstition (nnd to
fact nlso), tho owner of a diamond
Is lucky indeed. The diamond should
he worn upon the left side, for It Is
of greater virtue there, for the
strength of Its growing Is toward the
North, that Is the left side of the
world, and the left part of a man
when he turneth. his face toward tho
East. Ho who carries a diamond will
have strength and manhood; It will
keep him from harm, especially from
iiroken llnihs. It wlfl give him vic
tory over all his enemies If his cause
Is righteous. It will keep him from
strife and riots, and Is a talisman
against enchantments. In fact, if an
enchanter tries to work a spell upon
the possessor of a diamond he will
find It will worlc upon himself Instead.
No wild heast will nttack the diamond
owner. It heals all manner of mental
troubles. If poison be brought near
It, the diamond will become moist nnd
sweat. In order to bo of the greatest
virtue, the diamond must be given
freely Instead of being bought.

Who cannot recall the coffee-pot Mother put
on the stove early in the morning, warning ua
not to let it boil over?
As children, we were not permitted to drink
tea or coffee, because it would stunt our growth
or make us nervous and irritable. When older,
however, we craved a hot drink with meals, and
custom gave us our tea or coffee.
Finally upon the instructions of the doctor,
Mother gave up her tea and coffee. But that
meant nothing in our young lives. Our vitality
was then strong enough to throw off any ill effects.
But our time came, and we learned by ex
perience that we could not drink tea or coffee.
When we had it for breakfast it put our nerves
on edge. When we drank it at the evening meal,
we tossed about in wakefulness most of the night.
And then we found Postum, a pure cereal

tea and coffee. We liked the rich, satisfying flavor
of Postum and also the better health which re

many of our neighbors had made the same dis

Scotswoman Might Reasonably Be Ex

Cook the Confetti.
A traveling fair had 7lslted the little
country town, nnd a fete had been ar
ranged, and a flower show, and every
thing pointed to a very gny day to be
enjoyed by all.
Farmers from far and near were ex
pected to come Into town, and much
trade was expected to be done by tho
local tradesmen.
One of tho leading shopmen went to
the nearest city to buy a supply of stuff
to sell during the fete. His wife stayed
at homo to attend to the shop In his
nbsence.
The first thing that he bought was a
quantity of confetti. He sent that home
by carter overnight, nnd wired to his
wife as follows:
"Am sending 100 pounds of confetti.
Watch for It"
Next day he received this wire from
his wife:
"Confetti Is here. How do you cook
It?" Glasgow Scotsman.

"And we'll bo very careful and not

won't we, denr?"
A suspicious look came on to her
face. Quickly she put forth the ques
