An important discovery has lately been
made by the chemists which is nothing less
than that the leaves Of cencc are better than
the berries. The essential principles Of tea
aud coffee arc the same, although chemists
still call that from tea thcine, aud that from
coffee cafcin. This discovery will probably
effect the commerce Of Brazil which now
exports such enomou. quantities ofthe coffee

IIin,i00 Beliefs.

In n recent address before meeting in
New York. Rev, Dr. Duff made some inter.
csting revelations in reference to the physi.
cal philosophy which is laid down in the sa.
cred book OF Iliudoos. They believe, for
example, tIat there arises from the centre
Of tie earth an immense mountain. six hun.
dred thousand miles in height, its lower
base being one hundred aud twenty thou.
sand miles in breadth, and the upper part
two hundred and fifty thousand miles across
pan It's upper surface are the habitations
Of the Gods. aud beneath the o,efhaupine
cliffs grow huge trees of eycry Species
the largest Of these trees shadcs territorial
extent Of seven lhen,and miles. The ap.
pies which it bears are rs large as elephants,
aud when they hll olf and decay there flows
forth river Of juice. which Is endowed with
such virtues that any one who drinks from
it will receive the boon If perpetual youth,
and the sands which form its beds become
pure gold upon being dried
The llinluos hasa another curious belief
concerning Cape Gurmorin. which is vast
mas Of granite rock rising abruptly from
the Southern extremity uf India. Their
Sacred books declare TINT many thousand
yeafs ago a mighty king ruled the country.
and at the approaching marriage Of hls
daughter immense quantities Of rice were
eoeksd with which 10 make merry. The
bridegroom, however, not appearing in due
seasnn, the bride became inpatient and
cursed the rice, which was Immediately
changed inin rock
nr. duff also remarked. among other
,iofies Of til. kind. TINT the religion Of tho
lliuiHu. would never allow them 10 touch a

know nothing Of their own physical stfue.
