UlysEes had no thought of literature when he started out to look after himself He was destined by nis father who is the precenor of Peterborough cathedral for the Brit ish civil service He subsequently had a brief experience on the profes sional stage For his further work to publicity Mr Phillips recently found a ghost not a literary one but a real one in his house from which he fled with his family ordering a furniture mover to looit after his household effects Considerate of a Thief James M Beasley the Alaska con tractor who decamped two years ago after securing 3800 by means of a draft forged on the United States treasury and who was recently cap tured in South Africa by officers after a chase of over 17000 miles was not known to fellow passengers on the trans Atlantic liner as a criminal Dur ing the voyage from England he mix ed with other saloon travelers and being a man of fine appearance and address he had as good a time as anybody Only when the vessel reached her dock did the truth be come known the officers who accom panied Beasley showing him every consideration Royal Baggage The dead weight of luggage taken by the king and queen their attend ants and

Irish trip had to take their royal and state robes and the king several suits of uniform in addition to that of a field marshal Easy to Get Pierpont O Oct 5th Remarkable Indeed is the experience of Mr A S Turner a man now over seventy one years of age and whose home is here For many years this old gentleman had suffered with a very unpleasant form of Kidney Trouble a kind that very often bothers aged people He would have to get up four or five times every night and this very tire some disease was fast wearing him out At last after having almost made up his mind that he would never be able to get relief he stumbled over a medicine which relieved him almost i nmodiately and has cured him per manently It is so very easy to get and so simple that Mr Turner thinks everyone should know of it Every dealer in the country has it and all you have to do is to ask for Dodds Kidney Pills Mr Turner says - I can heartily and honestly recom mend Dodds Kidney Pills for they cured me Several others

Pius I was the eleventh pope his term of office extending from 158 to 167 It was not until the fif teenth century that a pope took the name of Pius II The last pope can onized was St Pius V who died in 1572 Pope Pius IX the immediate predecessor of Pope Leo XIII wore the tiara from 1846 to 1878 Pius VII and Pius VIII were also popes in the last century The last occupant of the papal chair to take

CQEJTEE OlD SAID TO HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED CENTURIES AGO Dervish in Arabia the First to Brew the Fragrant Beverage Can Never Be Successfully Grown In the United States As to the history of coffee the le gend runs that It was first found grow ing wild in Arabia Hadji Omar a dervish discovered it in 1285 C17 years ago He was dying of hunger in the wilderness when finding some small round berries- he tried to eat them but they were bitter He tried roasting them and these he finally steeped in some water held in the hollow of his hand and found the de coction as refreshing as if he had partaken of solid food He hurried back to Media from which he had been banished and inviting the wiso men to partake of his discovery they were so well pleased with it that they made him a saint The story is told that coffee was introduced into the West Indies in 1723 by Chirac a French physician who gave a Norman gentleman by the name of De Clieux a captain of infan try on his way to Martinique a single plant The sea voyage was a stormy one the vessel was driven out of her course and drinking water became so scarce that it was distributed in ra tions De Clieux with an affection for his coffee plant divided his por tion of water with it and succeeded in bringing it to Martinique although weak not in a hopeless condition There he planted it in his garden pro tected it with a fence of thorns and watched it daily until the end of the year when he gathered two pounds of coffee which he distributed among the inhabitants of the island to be plant ed by them From Martinique coffee trees in turn were sent to San Domin go Gaudaloupe and other neighbor ing islands The coffee tree is an evergreen shrub growing in its natural state to a height of fourteen to eighteen feet It is usually kept trimmed however for convenience in picking the berries which grow along the branches close to the leaves and resemble in shape and color ordinary cherries The tree cannot be grown above the frost line neither can it be successfully grown in the tropics The most successful climate for production is that found at an altitude of about 4000 feet Any thing much above this is in danger of frost which is fatal to the tree and when coffee is grown much below this it requires artificial shade which ma terially increases the cost of produc tion and does not produce as market able berries It is owing to this par ticular requirement that coffee has never been successfully produced in the United States Success ORDEALS OF A DOCTOR Sad Things Encountered in the Prac tice of Medicine It is often claimed by outsiders that having a profession dulls a womans sympathies but I cannot believe that this is true in the jractice of medi cine where one side of the work is so immeasurably sad I have seen a baby that came after fifteen years oi waiting and hoping and was rejoiced over daily and hourly for u wonderful year suddenly struck down and gasp its little life out in a day with pneu monia These are the times when it hurts to be a doctor to find that all the knowledge that you possess all the skill at your command is as so much chaff before the wind To have a woman cling to you begging you to save her baby is an ordeal to which no human being can grow cal lous You must teel as though the brand of Cain were upon you when with all your efforts you cannot save the little life Not years nor experi ence can lighten hours such as these Autobiography of a Woman Physi cian in Everybodys Magazine Evening The sun is set the swallows are asleep The bats are ilittinj fast in the gray air The slow soft toads out of damp corners creep And evenings breath wandering here and there Over the quivering surface of the stream Wakes not one ripple from its summer dream There is no dew on the dry grass to night Nor damp within the shadow of the trees The wind is intermitting dry and light And in the inconstant motion of the breeze The dust and straws are driven up and down And whirled about the pavement of the town The chasm in which the sun has sunk is shut By darkest barriers of enormous loud Like mountain over mountain huftJled but Growing and moving upwards in a crowd And over it space of water blue When the keen evening star is shining through Percy Bysshe Shelley Perfect Health and Beauty Dr Paul Richter the recently ap pointed professor of anatomy in the Paris Ecole des Beaux

the knowing The Century Magazine The October Century has an at tractive cover by Leyondeckcr of a mounted hunter and dogs which gives i clue to the prevailing character of its contents for it is a sportsmans number containing with much other matter a group of articles on field sports relating to France Great Brit ain and America The democratic iradition in France is represented by an article When the French Presi dent Goes Hunting written and il lustrated by Andre Castaigne The aristocratic tradition is represented by Sterling Heiligs narrative With the Hounds of the Duchesse DUzes J M Gleeson the artist writes of Two British Game Parks Powers court in Ireland and Drummond Cas tle in Scotland and supplies pictures of both But the most practical and acceptable article to American sports men will ho a review of Field Sports of Today by Dwight W Huntington the well known writer on this subject When a man makes iove he is al ways interesting At other times he may be real prosaic Phil Mays Reply The English papers are full of an ecdotes of the late Phil May that brilliant English pen draftsman One of them describes him as at a supper party in London where he made an exquisite drawing on a menu card for the lady in whose honor the pary was given This was seen by a wealthy woman present who sent the waiter with a 1U note to the artist asking him to do a similar drawing for

Paris Yes Ah cried the judge I know you You are the man who tel egraphed to Paris that there are 500 revolutions a minute in the Lebanon ITS A MISTAKE To Attribute Coffee Ills to Poor Grades of Coffee Many people lay all the blame for the diseases caused by coffee upon the poorer grades of coffee but this is an error as the following proves I have used every kind of the best grade of tea and coffee that can be got from a first class grocer but never found one that would not upset my nervous system and it was not until I began to drink Postum Food Coffee in place of coffee ana tea that I had relief from the terrific attacks of nervous sick headache from which I had suffered for 30 years I had tried all kinds of medicines but none helped me Soon after I stopped drinking cof fee and began to drink Postum tho headaches grew less and it was not long until I was entirely cured and I have never had a return of this dis tressing trouble for nowadays I never drink coffee but stick to Postum As soon as my wife saw what Pos tum had done for me sho gave up coffee which she had drank all her life This was six weeks ago and she is a changed woman for her ner vousness has all disappeared and her lace has become smooth and her cheeks have a good rosy red color She sleeps well too something she could never do while she drank cof fee We consider Postum a house hold necessity in my house and have induced many friends to try this wonderful food drink in place of cof fee Name given by Postum Co Battle Creek Mich Look In each package for a copy of jthe famous little book The Road to
