An Oakland lady who has a tasto for ood literature tells what a happy time sho had ou "Tho Road to Wellvllle." She says: "I drank coffee freely for eight years before I began to perceive any evil ef fects from It. Then I noticed that I was becoming very nervous, and that my stomach was gradually losing the power to properly assimilate my food. In time I got so weak that I dreaded to leave tho house for no reason whatever but because of the miserable condition of my nerves and stomach. I attributed the trouble to anything In tho world but coffee, of course. I dosed myself with medicines, which in tho end would leave mo in a worso condi tion than at first. I was most wretch ed and discouraged not 80 years old and feeling that life was a failure! "1 had given up all bono of ever en joying myself llko other people, till ono day I rend the littlo book, "The Rond to Wellvllle." It opened my eyes, and laugiit me a lesson I shall never for get and cannot value too highly. 1 Immediately quit the use of tho old kind of coffee and began to drink Pos tum Food Coffee. I noticed tho begin ning of an Improvement In the whole tono of my system, after only two days' use of the new drink, and in a very short time realized that I could go about llko other people without tho least return of the nervous dread that formerly gavo mo so much trouble. n fact, my nervousness disappeared entirely nnd has never returned, al though It Is now a year that I havo been drinking Postum Food Coffee. And my stomach Is now like iron nothing can upset it! "Last week, during tho big Con clave in San Francisco, I was on tho go day and night without the slightest fatigue; and as I stood in the immenso crowd watching the great parade that lasted for hours, I thought to myself, This strength Is what Postum Food Coffee has given mo!'

All who visited the World's Fair in St. Louis were impressed with tho California section, which at previous expositions has been noticeable for its architecture. It is a type distinctive ly California!), and the same idea baa bor n carried out in many of the prom h c ut houses in this State. Whatever may be said of the architecture of this pait of the country, says a writer in tho Housekeeper, it is not common place, as evidenced In the Spanish typo copied from the old Spanish missions. To-dny there Is a Spanish renais sance which has been carried on with s'fh vigor that' tho architecture of southern California Is undoubtedly tho most characteristic of civilized Amer ica. Generally speaking,- there arc cer tain characteristics common to all these buildings. There is the tile roof, the low, plastered, buff-colored walls, tbo arched doorway, an arcade and possibly a belfry with bells in imita tion of the old missions. The new houses, however, though they aro reminders of early buildings, aro constructed more substantially than the early missions. The modern house, built in mission style, is gen erally of wood, In rare cases of brick. If the houso is of wood, there is an outside protection of Iron or lnth, which holds the plaster covering. This last is either rough or smooth, as tasto dictates, and left gray or tinted a palo bull! that contrasts harmoniously with the palms, vines and flowers. Many of tho best of these mission style houses are built around courta wlilch contain palms, trees, ferns and fountains. Sometimes this court is roofed with glass and when tho pil lars to the arches of the patio simulnto palms tapering to the top, tho effect Is charming. In Los Angeles, Pasadena, Riverside and Santa Barbara the mission houso predominates and the overhanging roofs of modern red tiles, with tho creamy wnlls, cast shadows of ex quisite softness of color. In particu lar Orange Grove avenue in Pasadena1 lias many fine houses in this style, placed In green lawns, and they cre ate a pretty picture with the purplo hills in the background. He Was n Truo Wit. Some entertilning Impromptu wittl risms of the English dramatist, Doug las .Terr-old, are recalled by "T. P.'a" Weekly. On one occasion, on being asked to contribute to a subscription fund for " a needy author," he impatiently, in quired the sum needed for relief. "Well," was the resiwnse, "I think Just four and two naughts will put hhn straight." "Put mo down for ono of tho naughts," was the reply. A lawyer, replying to the toast of his health drunk at a dinner of artists, stammered out that he did not expect the honor as law could hardly be con sidered ono of tho arts; -whereupon Jerrold interjected ono word only "Rlack." "There's one song In ," remark ed a musical bore to Jerrold speaking of a popular opera, "which always car ries me away." "Would that I could sing it I' ejacu lated .Terrold. It is related that on another occa sion a long-winded friend stopped Jer rold, who was hurrying on urgent busi ness nlong Regent street, with tho quostion, "Well, Jerrold, my lmy, what Is going on?" "I am," retorted Jerrold, shooting by without further response. A Hit ot Japan. Later that day, at a hamlet which could boast no officials nnd no socie ties, yet where our train stopped ten minutes, JJiere stood a typical country schoolmaster, with his female assist ant and their twenty elementary pu pils. In very broken English he bush fully told me ho had been teaching Ids pupils about benevolence and charity, and how theso virtues were exempli fied by our coming so great a distance to aid the people of another land, To impress the lesson more deeply on their memories, ho said, he had brought them to see and greet us. An incident llko this throws a vivid light on the Japanese mind and ideas of education. One of the most remark able things in the Japanese character Is the combination of that fiery hero ism In battle, of which all have read, with tho gentleness, courtesy and sim .plomludcd, almost childlike frankness winch was shown lo us.
