DoN'T BE AFRAID OF D1Rr.-Old
DR., Cooper, of South Carolina, used
to say to his students, Don't be
afraid of dirt, young gentlemen.
What is dirt? Why, nothing atall
offensive, when chemically viewed.
Rub "a little alkai upon the dirty
grease spot on your coat, and it un-
dergoes chemical change and be-
comes soap;- now rub'it with a little
water and it disappears. 1t is neither
grease, soap, water, nor, dirt That
is not very odorous pile Of dirt you
see yonder; well, scatter a little gyp-
sum over it and it is no longer dirt:
Everything like dirt is worthy Of our
notice as students Of chemistry.
Analyze it; it will separate into very
clean elements. Dirt makes corn,
corn makes bread and meat, and
that makes very sweet young lady,
that I saw one of you kissing last
night. So after all you were kiss
ing dirt, particularly if she whiten-
ed her face with chalk or fuller's
earth though l may say that rub
bing such stuff upon beautiful skin
of young ladyis a dirty practice.
Pearl powder, ]. think, is made Of
.bismpth, no'hing but dirt. Lord
Palmerstons fine definition of dirt
is matter in the wrong place. Put
it in the right place and we cease to
think of it as dirt.

Tea. Coffee, Cocoa. and AleonoI.

We extract from the British lfedt-
cal Journal, the conclusions of q
French physician, DR.. Angel Mar
vaud. who has been experimenting
on the physiological and therapeutic
cal effects of coffee, tea, cocoa, mate
guaran, Paraguay tea and alcohol,
which he classes together as aliment
of economy, or anti waste foods.
He considers their influence on nu-
triton from two points of view as
stimulanls to the nevous system, as
anti waste foods or anti -assimilators.
Alcohol acts directly on the sensorv
apparatus of the spinal cord, and
indirectly on the motor apparatus.
Cocoa acts directly on the motor APP
paratus, which it ex ties in the same
manner as strychniue. Coffe9, tea,
and mate, act principally on the
brain. Alcohol and cocoa excite the
exercise of the mucles; coffee, tea,
and mate, the exercise of thought.
Further, by lessening the waste of
the tissues, counteracting organic
oxidation, and diminishing loss by
means of the secretions, they all act
as ailments of economy. In this
way is explained their action in
Stimulating TO work in the evening,
in partly supplying the want OF sol
id food, and in moderatipg vital
combustion. Hence arises their in
creasing consumption, and their
more general use as articles of daily
regime; hence, too, their utility in
alimen' alton, and their important
place in hygiene. The abuse of
these ailments has, it is trae. two
principal inconveniences. In the
first place, the excitement of the ner
vous system which they cause is
liable to be followed by fatigue,
weakness, and even inertia. In the
second place. by their interference
with and reduction of the processes
-indispensably necessary to life
of combination, transmutation, and |

Seward and Payne.

At the time that Payne entered
the Secretary's chamber, after the
scuffie in the hallway with his son,
Mr.. Frederick Seward, he was lying
upon his side close to the edge OF
his bed, with his head resting in q
frame, which had been made 10 give
him ease, and to protect his broken
jaw from pressure. He was trying
to keep awake, having been
seized upon by a sick mans fancy
it was that if he slept he would wake
up with the lockjaw. He was brought
to full consciousness by the scuffie
in the passage-way, followed by the
entrance of the as ASSN and the cry
of Miss Seward, ''Oh, he viii kill my
father!' but he saw nothIn g of his
assailant until hand appeared
above his face, and then his thought
was, 'fWhat handsome cloth that
overcoat is made Of
The assassin's face then appeared,
and the helpless statesman only
thought "What handsome man !"
Then came a sensation as OF rain

of his face and neck. then quickly
the same upon the other side but
he felt no severe pain. This was

bed to the floor, tainted. His first
sensation of returning consciousness
was that he was drinking tea, and
that it "tasted good" Mrs. Seward
was giving hin tea with a spoon.
He heard low voices around him
asking and replying as to whether
he would recover. He could not
speak, but his eyes showed his con-
sciousness and that he desired to
speak. They brought him porce
