An Irishman is naturally devout, and as a rule accepts the decrees of Providence without a murmur. His climate is as changeable as he is himself, but you rarely hear him grumble. Anything short of a deluge is "a grand day, glory be to God," or, if he is completely wet through, "a fine soft day for the country." On one occasion, when it had rained incessantly for weeks, and the crops were almost under water, I said to a man, "What do you think of the weather, Flannagan?" "I think," said Flannagan, looking round at the dripping hedges and soaking fields, "I think, Miss, if I was to be makin' weather, an' made the likes o' this, there'd be grumblin' at it." It was wrung out of him, and surely disapprobation was never more delicately expressed.

NOT FOR GOLD MINE

Began to Get Well When He Quit Coffee.

You could not get me to return to coffee after my experience if you were to give me a gold mine.

Two different physicians who treated me helped me some, but as soon as I left off the medicines I went down again. Neither of these doctors told me that coffee was the cause of the trouble.

I was compelled to give up my occupation, and had been for a long time constantly taking medicine of some sort. The trouble was indigestion and constipation, causing loss of sleep, and running me down seriously in weight.

I was discouraged with the drugging and remained ill until I noticed one of your advs. about how coffee affected some people; then thought I would stop drinking it and see if that might not be the cause of my trouble. I took to drinking Postum Cereal Food Coffee, and grew to like it very much indeed. As soon as I stopped drinking common coffee I began to get well and have increased in weight from 140 to 158. Since beginning Postum I have never taken a pill or any kind of medicine, and I never felt better in my life.

"It is a delicious novelty and very grateful to the palate. I found, about midway in my second dish, that I had sufficient for a meal, and realized for the first time that I was eating a condensed food that supplies one's wants with a few spoonsful and does not require any. thing like the volume to furnish the amount of food required, as when any of the ordinary forms of cereals are served. Grape-Nuts are delicious food, and the Postum Cereal Co., Lim., are to be congratulated upon the discovery," said a well-known fancy grocer.

NOTES

THE question has frequently been asked, "What are Admiral Dewey's church affiliations?" Ever since the founding of the Episcopal church in Montpelier, in 1840, the Dewey family has been closely identified with the management of Christ Church, the Episcopal society then organized. Dr. J. Y. Dewey was one of the first board of vestrymen chosen, and his sons have succeeded him in office. The first church edifice was of wood, and was consecrated in 1842. In 1866-68 a commodious church of Vermont granite was built on State Street to replace the wooden structure, and this is the church in which Admiral Dewey has worshipped when he has been in Montpelier.

THE Olive is one of the oldest-known fruits. It is noted by Pliny and is frequently mentioned in the Bible, where it forms the basis of many parables and figures of speech. In Grecian mythology the olive-tree occupies an important place, and to-day the "olive branch" is the world symbol for peace. The olive-tree itself is rather melancholy in appearance; but the eye soon becomes accustomed to the tone which the olive-trees give to the landscape, and in nearly all the Mediterranean countries they are found almost everywhere. In general the olive will flourish wherever the vine can be cultivated for wine-growing purposes. It will not bear a temperature below 210 or 220 F., and in Europe it cannot be grown above 46° latitude. The young plants and fruit are very delicate, but the tree itself is quite tough. In Italy, where the olive forms one of the principal agricultural products and contributes so largely to the wealth of the country, the trees are cultivated with the greatest care. The kernel of the olive requires about two years to germinate naturally; but it is found that by applying clay and goat manure Nature's processes can be hastened so that it will germinate the same year.

ICUREFITS

When I say I cure I do not mean merely to stop them for a time and then have them return again. I mean a radical cure. I have made the disease of FITS, EPILEPSY or FALLING SICKNESS a life-long study. I warrant my remedy to cure the worst cases. Because others have failed is no reason for not now receiving a cure. Send at once for a treatise and a Free Bottle of my infallible remedy. Give Express and Post Office. Prof. W.H.PEEKE, F.D., 4 Cedar St., N.Y.

IN THESE DAYS OF HIGH PRESSURE

when the incessant grind necessary for a decent existence is severe enough to knock vital sparks out of the constitutions of the best of us, they are wise in their generation who, without waiting for a danger signal, appeal periodically to some proved medicine which can be implicitly trusted to cleanse and renovate the marvelous mechanism of the human system. At no time since the days of Adam have bread-winners, whether men or women, stood in such pressing need as they do nowadays of a sure, convenient, and perfectly harmless antidote against brain-fag, irritability, and drooping spirits. To balance the bitter in this hard world, find the genuine sweet somewhere, and undoubtedly it is just here where
