A NEW-STYLE CASKET,
An Innovation Which Does Away With
the anomfortablo-Appoarlng Coffin.
It is not so much what you pay for,
nor what you pay, but what you get
"that needs your attention in the selec
tion of a casket, for the genlus of the
twentieth century has been just as
busy in the way of funeral furnish
ings as in other line, unul today
the styles of caskets are quite differ
ent from what they were fifty years
Rgo and changing every day.
This i 8 especlally true in Metallic
Caskets, the old style heavy cast iron
&oods having given away to the more
up-to-date copper linings which are
neatly fitted into the best grades of
varnished or cloth covered work.
One of the latest designs as recently
brought out by the National Casket
“Co., is what 1s designated as a Couch
“Casket, which has the appearance of a
comfortable couch when open, yeot re
tains all the requisite outlines of the
best styles in rejular casket work
when closed. - '

The especial advantage of the Couch
Casket is found in its relief from that
stiffnesg usually noted in all other
designs, and impressing the minds of
the friends as well as that of the fam
ily with a feeling of peace and rest
fulness not known before,
if it is desired to retain all of the
preservation qualitieg as found in the
copper linings, the Couch Casket can
be enclosed in a metal lined outside
box, which will then answer the dou.
ble purpose of preserving both the
casket as well as the remains.
All undertakers in the south should
be in a position to furnish these latest
dmproved goods, as the National Cas
ket Co’s. large plant at Nashville,
Tenn., has been especially fitted up
for furnishing them on short notice,
and large sales already proves that
their efforts are being appreciated Ly
the best c/asg of people everywhere.

Mrs. Elizabeth H. Thompson,§
of Lillydale, N.Y., Grand Worthy
Wise Templar, and Member of
W.C.T.U,, tells how she recov
ered by the use of Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
** DEAR MRs. PINEHAM :— ] am one
of the many of your ;irateful friends
who have been cured through the use
of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound, and who can to-day
thank you for the fine health I en&oy.
When I was thirty-five years old, I
suffered severe backache and fre?uent
bearing-down pains; in fact, I had
womb trouble. I was very anxious to
gzt well, and reading of the cures your
mpound had made, I decided to try
it. I took only six bottles,but it built me
up andcured me entirely of my troubles.
“My family and relatives were
naturally as gratified as I was. My
niece had heart trouble and nerveus
prostration, and was considered incur
able. She took your Vegetable Com
pound and it cured her in a short time,
and she became well and strong, and
her home to her great joy and her hus
band's delifht was blessed with a baby.
I know of a %umber of others who
have been cured of different kinds of
female trouble, and am satisfied that
your Compound is the best medicine
for sick women.” — MRs. ErLizABeTH H.

' ' Oyster Pranks,
“Oysters are queer things. They
frequently act as if they had intelli
gence, but you are too far north, I
guess, to know about that.”
The speaker was a Florida man who
is stopping for a while in town. -
¢ “Ihveiy'm ever heard,” he contin
ued, “of the eccentric and waggish pe
culiarities of the oyster? I have
known oysters when they got into the
mood to ciasp about a rat’s tail all
night, and they hold it tight as any rat
trap ever invented.
“l am told that upon a certain occa
sion, when a flask of whisky was bro
ken, a large Blue Pointer was found
lying in a little peol of liquor, just
drunk enough to be careless of conse
quences, opening and shutting its shell
with a devil-may-care air, as if he didn’t
value anybody a little bit, but was
going to be as noisy as he possibly
could.
“A drunken man is a sad enough ob
ject to behold; a drunken woman is
worse; a cow intoxicated is amusing;
a swine drunk on brandy cherry stones
is disgusting, but an oyster drunk
constitutes the gublime of inebriation.”
A Question Why.
Balty Moore—l understand that
young d’Auber is so devoted to his
art that he sometimes misses his
meals.
Calvert, Jr—l knew he missed mis
meals occasionally, but I had heard
a different reason assigned for it, and
more professional.—Baltimore Ameri

Rimer (the poet)—l? Why should
I be?
Jokeley—Why, it’s gotten up expres

HAPPY CHILDHOOD.
RBight Food Makes Happy Children Be
caase They Are Healthy.
Sometimes milk does not agree with
children or adults. The same thing is
true of other articles of food. What
agrees with one sometimes does not
agree with others.
But food can be so prepared that it
will agree with the weakest stomach.
As an illustration—anyone, no matter
how weak the stomach, can eat, relish
and digest a nice hot cup of Postum
coffee with a spoonful or two of Grape-
Nuts poured in, and such a combina
tlon contains nourishment to carry one
a number of hours, for almost every
particle of it will be digested and
taken up by the system and be made
use of. .
A lady writes from the land of the
Magnolia and the mocking bird way
down in Alabama and says: “I was
led to drink Postum because coffee
gave me sour stomach and made me
nervous. Again Postum was recom
mended by two well known physicians
for my children, and I feel especially
grateful for the benefit derived.
“Milk does not agree with either
child, so to the eldest, aged four and
one-half years, I give Postum with
plenty of sweet cream. It agrees with
her splendidly, regulating her bowels
perfectly, although she is of a consti
pated habit.
“For the youngest, aged two and one
half years, I use one-half Postum and
one-half skimmed milk. I have not
given any medicine since the children
began using Pogum, and they enjoy
every drop o‘t‘%t.
“A neighhor of mine is giving Pos
tum to her baby lately weaned. with
splendid results. The littie fellow is
thriving famously.” Name given by
Postum Co,, Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum agrees perfectly with chil
dren and supplies adults with the hot,
invigorating beverage in place of
coffee. Literally thousands of Amer
fcans haye been helped out of stom
ach and nervous diseases by leaving
off coffee and using Postum Food Cof
fee. Look in package for the little

PREPARING WEATHER MAPS.
How the Government’'s Schedule of the
Approach of Storms is Made.
. {The Weather Bureau is now a high
ly equippfi organization under a chief,
Willis L. Moore, the officer third in
rank in the department. The country
is covered with its stations. Its re
ports, issued twice daily, have come
to be looked for in every portion of
the United States by all the people,
whose daily life is to a certain extent
influenced by them, and the value of
its work in the saving of life and ship
ping on the coasts by its prediction of
storms and flocods, as well as the sav
ing to the crops through timely no
tice of sudden changes, such as frosts,
etc., is incalculable. :
The work which the people know
best is the general forecasts of the
weather, which are conducted on the
best obtainable system. Forecasts
which, though founded on an order of
things as subject to law as the courses
of the stars, are far from having yet
reached the pracision of astronomical
science, though the results obtained
are unrivaled in their execllence by
those of any other nation. The prepar
ation of the weather map involves the
daily sounding of .= heights of the
aerial ocean above, simultaneously by
observers all over the country, and the
joining of these sounding stations on
the map by contour lines which indi
cate the direction of that great aerial
ocean’s flow. This direction can not,
of course, be determined with any
thing like the certainty atiainable in
the deduction of the “path of a star,
yet the result, thcugh still a probabil
ity only, is a very useful one by which
we all guide our daily lives. Will it
be greatly better for us if it is ever
otherwise, and we comé to the time
when we know long in advance what
the weather will be, and this and
many other like uncertainties are
wiped out from the variety of our
daily life?
These general maps are prepared
in the office at Washington, from dis
patches sent by local offices, and the
bureau’s use of the telegraph service
alone costs $300,000 per annum. It
distributes in the shape of cards, maps
and publications nearly 50,000,000
pieces yearly, and in cases of special
agricultural industries, through
changes in weather, special services
have been established, notably for cot
ton, sugar and rice, in the Southern
States, and for fruit and wheat in Cal
ifornia.—From “The Science Work of
the Government,” by Prof. S. P. Lang
ley, in Scribner’s.
The Most Beautiful,
Love of country may grow at home
like a sturdy plant, but in a foreign
land it blossoms into glory. A writer
in the New York Sun says that some
months ago hundreds of Swedes were
turned away from Carnegie Hall,
where the Swedish students were giv
ing a concert. Every seat was filled,
but the unfortunate late comers lin
gered for hours, hoping that there
might be returned tickets, which they
could purchase at the last moment.
One woman, with tears in her eyes
and voice, declared that she had come
seventy-five miles to hear the Swediek
national hymn.
For more than two hours a lovely
blue-eyed girl stood with her pale face
almost pressed against the glass door,
Finally some one said to her, “Come
down here by the open center door,
and you will hear better.” :
“No, thank you,” said she, in the
softest voice. “I can see the flag
here.”
Then toward the end of the pro
gram, came the national hymn. Ev
ery woman’s head was bowed in rev
erence; every man’s hat came off.. A
Swedish listener, to test one of the
bystanders, a young girl, said to hex,
pldifferently, “I don<t think that tume
1S very wonderful.”
Instantly the eyes flashed sparks of
fire, and the low, soft voice returned,
“Every cone loves his own country
best. Its own dear song is to him
the most beautiful in all the world. ==
