A French physician claims to have photographed the soul of his wife 80 hours after her death. He explains that the picture showB a nebulous globe. This being the case, the wear­ ing of corsets cannot have any effect on the soul.

The man who goes around croaking that the worst is "yet to come either has a weak spine or knows of some­ thing that he would like to get at a marked-down price. This from the Chicago Record-Herald, which moves the New York Herald to remark: And the best^part of it all is that the "croaker" is finding everybody too busy to listen to him. The surest sign of good times is the fact that people have ceased to talk about hard times. Washington.--At 4:25 Saturday af­ ternoon, after having been in operation since noon Friday, the filibuster against the currency bill went to pieces, the conference report was adopted and tho measure Iras signed by President Roosevelt, who gave the pen with which he wrote his name to Representative Wilson of Chicago. Senator Gore, the blind orator from Oklahoma, had the floor when the filibuster came to an end, having talked two hours and ten minutes. It had been arranged among the trio of objectors that Senator Stone was td follow Gore and later on Mr. La Follette would make ^ another effort to break into the ring. For once at least "Gum Shoe Bill" was not right on the job. No one seemed to know just where he was putting in his time, but the Republican leaders were on the alert and seized the opportunity. Aldrlch Engineers the Coup. Senator Aldrich, the resourceful Re­ publican leader, was attending strictly to business, and as Boon as Mr. Gore concluded his remarks he secured thfe floor and immediately moved to 'pro­ ceed to a vote. The folly of the whole filibustering proceeding was sufficiently shown when the currency bill was passed in the senate by a vote of 43 to 22. TTie Democrats voted solidly against it, and with them were only five Re­ publicans, La Follette, Brown, Borah, Bourne and Heyburn. Senator .JKit- tridge and one or two other Republic­ ans were paired against it, but they did not go on the record. Congress AdjouAis. The first session of the sixtieth con- gress adjourned Saturday night at 11:50. Legislative work ended early in the evening and while President Roosevelt was engaged in signing the last grist of bills, the senate took quiet recesses and the house indulged in the customary levity in the line of singing, flag waving and speechmaking. The sudden action on the part of the senate in adopting the conference report on the currency bill and thus sending that measure to completion, served to galvanize both branches of congress into a swift working gait that brought final adjournment np to a matter of a few hours. The house quickly swept aside the 'Consideration of small, unobjected bills, and resolutions that had been occupying its time, and brought the omnibus public building bill--the piece de resistance among the legis­ lative features of the session--to the fore. The regulation 40 minutes' debate and the filibuster roll call demanded by the Democrats were held, and the great pork measure' reached its final passage. There were Inward prayers of thanks all over the place. Last Big Supply Bill. The general deficiency bill, the last of the big supply measures and which this year carries the heavy appropria­ tions for public buildings and sites, came along next. No difficulty was found in putting the bill through early in the evening. The government employes' liability bill, strongly urged by the president and Secretary Taft, had a narrow es­ cape, but urged by Senator Depew, it finally went through just before the senate recessed for dinner. Senator Beferidge seized the oppor­ tunity to push his "omnibus terri­ tories" measure through the senate when it convened at 8:30 after a re­ cess. The bill, previously passed by the house, carried miscellaneous legis­ lative projects for the territories. The measure had encountered heavy objection for several days in the senate and went back to the house amended in several particulars. That body agreed to the amended bill without a conference. President Appears at Capitol. President Roosevelt and his party, including Secretary Loeb and cabinet officers Root and Garfield, appeared at the capitol at nine o'clock, just be­ fore the resolution to adjourn at 11:50 was adopted, and went at once to the president's room, just off the marble lobby of the senate. A series of conferences with the vice-president, Senator Aldrich, and several leading senators were immediately com­ menced over the various measures to receive the signature of the executive before adjournment.

There have been horrible records to write of the sea when such menace threatened as caused the boats to be lowered--records of brutal contests to be first off a doomed vessel; of cruel assault to beat away the help- less.

Entangled In Folds of American Flag, Young Frederick L. Wood Meets Death. New York.--Entangled in the folds of a large American flag, which he had waved as he made a parachute drop of 2,000 feet from a balloon at Hilside park near Passaic, N. J., late Sunday, Frederick L. Wood, an 18- year-old aeronaut of New Haven, 'Conn., fell helpless in the Passaic river and was drowned. Wood made his ascension at five o'clock in the presence of a thousand persons. As the balloon rose he un­ folded an American flag which he waved to the people below. Near Nutley the balloon had risen to a height estimated at 2,000 feet and Wood decided to descend. Cut­ ting ldose the rope that held the para­ chute to the balloon and clutching the rope of his horizontal bar, Wood plunged downwards. Slowly the para­ chute opened and then with moderate speed continued the descent.' Nearing the earth Wood saw that he would probably fall in the Passaic river and waving his flag as a last salute, he prepared for a plunge into the water. It was at this moment while the para­ chute was only a hundred feet above the river that a puff of air caught the floating flag and wrapped it around Wood's legs. The aeronaut struggled to free himself from its enveloping folds, but failed and with his limbs still bound by the flag, he plunged into the river. He arose to the surface and cried for help, Jjut before the specta­ tors could come to his aid, he sank and was drowned. TO RESTORE SENATOR'S SIGHT. Delicate Operation Planned fo'r T. P. Gore of Oklahoma. Washington. -- An operation of considerable delicacy Is to be per­ formed on Thomas P. Gore, the blind senator from Oklahoma, in the hope of restoring at leaBt partial sight to one of his eyes. Senator Gore, accom­ panied by his wife, will go to New York and submit to an operation which has been contemplated for some time. An eminent eye specialist there be­ lieves it possibly may result in im­ provement of the organ to the extent that the senator may dimly distin­ guish objects. The operation, how­ ever, is said to be of such serious na­ ture that if it fails to restore partial sight there never will be any further hope and the senator will have to con­ tinue his days in blindness.

If parents realized the fact that cof­ fee contains a drug--caffeine--which Is especially harmful to children, they would doubtless hesitate before giv­ ing the babies coffee to drink. When I was a,child in my mother's arms and first began to nibble things at the table, mother used to give me sips of coffee. As my parents used Coffee exclusively at meals I never knew there was anything to drink but coffee and water. And so I contracted the coffee habit early. I remember when quite young, the continual use of coffee so affected my parents that they tried roasting wheat and barley, then ground it in th» coffee-mill, as a substitute for coffee. "But it did not taste right and they went back to coffee again. That was long before Postum was ever heard of. I continued to use coffee until I was 2?. and when I got Into office work, I be­ gan to have nervous spells. Especially after breakfast I was so nervous I could scardely attend to my corre­ spondence. At night, after having coffee for supper, I could hardly sleep, and on rising in the morning would feel weak and nervous. A friend persuaded me te try Post­ um. My wife and I did not like it at first, but later when boiled good and strong it was fine. Now we would not give up Postum for the best coffee we ever tasted. x "I can now get good sleep, am free from nervousness and headaches, i recommend Postum to all coffee drink­ ers.
