Tea and C0nee.

TAKING into account the habits of the
people, tea and coffee for supper and
breakfast add to human health and life, If
a single cup be taken at either meal, and is
never increased in strength, frequency or
quantity. If they were mere stimulants,
and were taken thus in moderation and
with uniformity, they would, in time, be-
come either inert, or the system would be-
come so habituated to their employment
as to remain in the same relative position
to them, as if they had never been used /;
and consequently, as to themselves, they
had better never been used, as they are so
liable to abuse. But science and fact unite
in declaring them to be nutritious as well
as stimulant; hence they will do a new
good to the system every day, to the end
of life, Just as bread and fruits do; hence
we never get tired of either. But the use
of bread and fruits is daily abused by null
titudes, and dyspepsia and cholera morbus
result; yet we ought not to forego their
employment on that account, nor should
we forego the use of tea and coffee be-
cause their inordinate use gives neuralgies
and other ailments.
But the habitual use of tea and coffee,
at the last and first meals of the day, has
another high advantages productive oi
incalculable good in the way of averting
evils.
We will drink at our meals, and if we
do not drink these, we will drink what is
worse-cold water, milk, or alcoholic mix

Heart Disease Valuable Hint.

At the regular meeting of the "Medi-
colegal Society,"" at the College of Physi-
clans and Surgeons, last evening, DR.. Fin
nell submitted rare specimen of fatty
heart taken from the body Of colored
woman who recently fell in syncope, while
shouting under great excitement at re-
ligious meeting, and died in few mo-
ments. The autopsy discovered that the
entire structure OF the heart had been
transformed from the ordinary healthy
muscular tissue to pure fat, and yet its or
ganism remained perfect in all its parts.
The doctor said he presented this case to
the society not only for its rarity, but for
the bearing which it and similar cases had
upon medical jurisprudence, the special
object for which the society was organized.
1t might often happen, as 1t often did
happen, that man was knocked down by
. blow in quarrel, and was supposed to
have been killed by the blow, when, in
fact, he died as this colored woman did
from over excitement acting upon fatty
heart. It showed the importance of a
careful autopsy in cases Of supposed homi-
eide. Death resulted in this case from
paralysis of the heart and long detention of
blood from the brain; and it indicated the
treatment in such cases that could not be too
often or too strongly impressed upon the
public-viz., that in cases of fainting the
patient should be Immediately suspended
head downward, or, at least placed in a
horizontal position. Had this been done in
the case of the colored woman whose heart
was here exhibited, she might probably
have been alive to-day. Scarcely an audi
ence could be got together in which there
would not be individuals, with feeble and
fatty hearts, who were liable at any time
under any extraordinary mental or bodily
excitement, to be attacked in the manner
this woman was, and who might die under
the attack, unless Immediately treated in q
proper manner. In the case Of Inspector
Carpenter, the autopsy showed fatty con
dition Of tho heart, and had not Mr.. Car
penter been 80 obstinately opposed to
taking stimulus Of any kind, hisliA might
probably have been prolonged many years

The Inquisitive Traveller.

A CORRESPONDENT relates the following
as his own personal experience:

pleasant mood. Getting up for an early
train is neither customary nor agreeable
with me; the coffee was muddy and the
toast abominable. got into muss with
a hackman about my fare to the depot, my
finger was jammed in the car door, and q
fat man stepped on my toe as moved to
my seat My face knew looked forbiddlng,
and, though the car was full, the seat beside
me was not taken. We had gone past one
or two stations, when tall, broad-shOul-
dered, farmer looking fellow got into the
car, and without a "By your leave" or

he reached his long neck out by me and
said, yawningly:

After some miles he again spoke:

"Well, what's that to me?" said
sharply.
"Guess how much it weighed"
"Oh, don't bother me-six hundred
pounds"
"Guess agin," after'a pause.
"Well, say hundred pounds" The
challenge to guess had trif1e of interest
in it, but in moment, ashamed of having
shown any at all, 1 thrust my head out OF
the window, awaiting my sturdy associ-
ate's advances. He made none, and after
riding some ten or fifteen minutes, / looked
round. He was staring out of the window,

What will Become Of Us?

THE suns atmosphere, say the scientific
men, is in highly excited condition. A
column of magnetic light is shooting out
further and further from the solar sphere,
and it is now stretching out forty mil
lions of miles. In other words, it has &C
complished half the distance between us
and the sum- The interesting question,
and one on which, perhaps, we do not wish
any more light of this character, is: How
long will it be before it finishes the rest of
the distance and bridges the gigantic
chasm between the earth and the sun ?
Is it messenger sent out to snatch US up
as food for the insatiate monster that keeps
himself warm by devouring planets, and
whose fire-eating propensities this whole
earth would satisfy for few days only ?
If so, how long will this emissary be in
reaching us, and carrying the globe away
as if we were gigantic lump of coal for a
roaring furnace? This column of light at
intervals indicates its approach by flashing
and corruscating with fresh brilliancy. So
decided are its effects that two astronomers,
one at London, the other at Oxford, and
neither knowing the experience of the
other, supposed that the dark glass of
their telescopes had been broken or put
out of range, so strong was the flash of
golden light upon the vision. 1t is pre-
dicted that before the end of the next
year this magnetic light will have got near
enough to us to make its immediate and
actual influence upon the earth distinctly
felt. 1t is announced that in consequence
we may expect to see phenomena that have
never been seen or known before by the
human race. If any of our readers are
therefore yet disposed to complain of the
weather and the earthquakes let them re-
member that, by this time next year, they
may have an entire new line of expert
ences to explain and endure, in compari-
son with which the ftful winter and
rough, rude autumn of to-day, may seem
like June morning in Paradise, and the
earthquakes shock and lightning's storm,
placid rocking in the cradle with pleas
ant lullaby of thunder.-Bufdlo Express,

also to have the roof project some distance
over the ends. @
The worst thing about an ice house to
make are the doors. Some prefer to take
the ice in through door in one of the
gable ends, and to drop it down through a
trap door in the middle of the upper floor
But even if there is such an arrangement
as this, there must be place to take the
ice out Of Sometimes double doors are
made, leaving q space for air between
them. Another way is to have uprights
placed in front of the inner wall and
pieces of boards fitted to ply between
them, so that you ;only have to remove
enough of them to take out cake of ice.
In this case the outer door can be shaped
like the door of fire-proof safe, and have
it shut against door casing lined with
thick cloth.
Some provision must also be made for
ventilation during the hot weather. If
there is door in one of the gable ends,
that may be left ajar, and if the upper
floor is made of loose boards, there will
probably be sufficient change of air to
answer every purpose. 1t is well, how
ever, to have a ventilator made by means
of square tube about two inches IN di-
ameter running from the space above the
ice to distance above the roof. This
should have roof on it and it is well to
have slide fitting into it, that may be
opened and shut at pleasure.
Before the ice is put in, the floor should
be covered several inches thick with clean
straw. The ice should be free from fakes
and should be cut into cakes of such di-
mensions, that they will exactly ill the
space. IF the weather is freezing when
the ice is put in, it is well to fill up the
crevices with small bits of ice, and then to
pour on water till the whole is frozen in
one compact mass. After this the house
should be tightly closed till warm weather.

self to be most unpleasantly stared at and
questioned, if not ridiculed, were he to ask
for cup or glass of hot water. But as tea
and coffee are now universal beverages,
are on every table, and everybody is ex-
pected to take one or the other as matter
of course, they are unwittingly the means
of safety and of life to multitudes. They
save life where glass of cold water would
have destroyed it. So that the use of
these beverages is not merely allowable,
