The boys . ' IC > ' ' ; ; . were very f much distressed by his ' " action , but did not know what to do. . " ' , In a few minutes , however , the professor - R . ' . ' to the con. . : : . : . , " lessor apparently came " : . elusion that he had done a foolish J , , ' : thing , for he returned and resumed ( : his lecture without a word. Anxious : : . . to show their good will and to atone I .f ' , If possible for their rudeness , the boys took advantage of a good point In the lecture to applaud tumultuously. "No , : ,1. ' no , no !

"When I drank coffee 1 often had sick headaches , nervousness and bil- - lousnes much of the time but about , . , 2 years ago I went .to visit a friend and got in the habit of drinking Pos- " 1 turn } . - ! . "I have never touched coffee since I and the result has been that I have I been entirely cured of all my stomach " ' and nervous trouble \ ' 1\Iy mother was just the same way , we all drink Postum now and have' never had any other coffee In the house for two years and we are all well. : "A neighbor or mine a great coffee drinker , was troubled with pains In . her side for years and was an Invalid. \ She was not able to do her work : and could not even mend clothes or do ! anything at all where she would have I . . to ' bend toward. .If she tried to do a little hard work she would get such . pains that she would . have to lie down for the rest of the dart .

Experiments made in a large aqua' I rium nave proved that fish may be easily tamed and trained. This is particularly - ticularly true of blue perch. They soon consent to taking their food- ulva , a green , lettuce-like weed-from the hand , and do not at' all oDject to being handled. A huge kelp cod , a splendid specimen of rich blue and green hues , that was kept In the same tank with the perch , readily learned to feed from the hand , and seemed to enjoy being scratched and rubbed. Stlclc1ebaclts , perch , bass and catfish are among the most easily tamed fish , and tile story Is told of an old fisherman who day after day fed a large fishhorse mackerel in the open sea with pieces of the fish he cle : led. It gradually got Into the habit or corning - ing nearer to where the boat was teth- ered until , finally convinced that it would not be harmed , it consented to take its dally meal directly from the fisherman's hand. Bird Seems to Be Under Water. One of the newest window attrac- tions to be seen on Broadway is a } i q a I IZE' ' I i1 'i ' L ' I' 1 7 ; , glass globe which apparently contains a number of goldfish and a canarr. It looks as if the canary Is in the water , but he Is not. There are two globes , one within the other , the fish globe being double Inside , like the bottom of a wine bottle , so that the globe which holds the canary fits inside of it , entering from the bottom. . The fish globe is open from the top , the air for the bird coming through the bottom. New York Times Origin of Palm Monopoly. There Is a curious custom In connection - nection with the palm branches at Iordlghera : : , Italy. The right of exploiting - ploltlng the sale of these at Rome was originally given in 158G to a sailor or Bordlghera named Drasca , for n suggestion made during the raise Ing of the Egyptian obelisk in the square of St Peter Owing to the difficulty of the work , Pope Sixtus V. had forbidden the onlookers to dis- tract the englners by a single word ; but Drescn , seeing the cords strctoh Ing unduly and disaster impending , shouted ont , \Vet the ropes I" ! anti saved the situation. His life was for. felted for speaking , hut the pope pardoned - doned him for his Ingenuity and gave him the monopoly of the palm trade in Rome at , F.n8ter. His condants still annually present the ( pope with a richly decorated palm branch The Needles and thePole. . There are two places on the earth's surface where the magnetic needle must point due south. They are not easy places to reach. One Is in the arctic regions north of the northern magnetic pole , on the line between that pole and the geographical north pole. The other is in the Antarctic regions , south of the southern mag netic pole , on the line between that spot and the geographical south pole. In the first case the point of the needle iB attracted to the northern magnetic pole. In the second case the other end of the needle Is attracted to the southern magnetic pole. Woman's Remarkable Lucl A Northampton , Mass , woman went into the post office to buy a stamp the other day. While there she took out her pocketbook to get 2 cents to pay for the stamp. From the post office she went to River street to call , and there discovered that a $10 bill which was in the purse when she left home was missing. Without delay she went back to the post office and found the $10 bill lying on the floor near where she had stood at the stamp window. Value of Bees' Tongues. A curious note is found in the International . ternatlonal Review of Agriculture , to the effect that an entomologist had succeeded In measuring the length of the tongues of bees for the "purpose of determining the possible effect of crossing Italian and native bees upon the lengthening of the tongues. " Evidently , denl1j' , on the principle that the long. I er the tongue the easier the access to I hidden stores of flower honey. Origin of "Grass Widow. " A grass widow Is one who becomes / a widow br grace or favor but not 01 necessity , as by death. The term originally was "grace widow , " a woman . an separated from her husband by the favor of the pope , at the time when only the Catholic church granted divorces. In the present day the term Is applied to a woman separated from her husband and not a divorcee. Signposts In Korea Koreans are very great on sign. posts. One Is to be found at the cor- ner of every country road.
