uELLER's WONDER THEATRE.


The popularity OF Mr.. Helers performances has been
uniform throughout long season, and last night his
bright and comfortable theatre was filled By q de-
lighted audience. Tho changes made In the pro-
gramme OF late important. Several new wonders
are exhibited OF which IS the production OF an In
finite number OF articles from q hat borrowed from
any person In the audience Plates fruit, dresses,
shawls, flags, &c, are dragged out OF tho hat,
and at last u real little girl is produced from Of
the magic shaws The box trick Is another marvel OF
mechanical ingenuity, and clcveriy executed The
empty box Is corded strongly, canopy lowered Tor
snort t,me and when the covering removed the box
is opened and person iound within IL How
those apparent miracles are done few persons know
except that inevitable young gentleman on the floor
who informs evory body him that he understands
It completely, and makes explanations which nre
even more astonishing than tho things ex-
planned, "Mrs Keps,c" is pretty little CON-
edy In which Mr. and Miss Heller not only
satrize modern Spiritualsm effectively, but perform
marves Of their own which arc strange rs those OF
Sade or Howe. The musical part Of the entertain
nent excellent, and the pianoorte description OF
a country dance, interrupted by thunder storm, with
Canterbury bells Ginning. and the gradual passing
away vi tho storm, was beautifully rendered by Mr..
Heller.

He Settled It.

A doctors quarrel has been brought
to an end in Buffalo. About a year
and half ago Charles Bergman, a
carpenter, was run over by cart and
seriously injured. He first sued the
owner of the cart for negligence and
carelessness in causing his injuries,
but was non-suited on the ground of
his own contributary negligence. He
then sued the physician who had been
attending him. In the complaint 1T
was charged that the patients suffer
ings had been caused by malpractice,
inasmuch as the physician had not dis
covered that the limb under treatm ent
had been dislocated. Was it disloca-
ton or fracture? That was the ques-
ton at issue, and there was a startling
conflict of medical testimony. The
court finally appointed commission
of medical experts to examine the pa
tient, and, as they reported that it was
case of fracture and not of disloca-
ton, the plaintiff was again non-suited.
One of the physicians, who held stoutly
to the theory that there was disloca-
ton, at once opened series of articles
on the case in medical journal, and
the doctors quarrel was renewed.
Meanwhile the unfortunate carpenter
was suffering in body and mind. He
was unable to walk; his house was
heavily mortgaged; he was poor; he
had not paid his lawyers. Last Thurs
day he fastened piece of bed cord TO
an iron staple In the ceiling, and, tying
the other end around his neck, swung
himself off into the next world, where
there will be no carts and neither frac-
ture or dislocation. Before straneling
himself he had the forethought to
commit his body to the kind offices of
the physicians whom he had set at
loggerheads. The post-mortem exam
nation showed conclusiveIy that there
had been fracture but no dislocation.

A New Beverage from Coffee Leaves

The leaves of the coffee tree, saws
the London Gardeners Magaaine, prom.
Use to become as important as the
berry-perhaps more SO. The leaves
contain notable proportion of the
curious double salt which is called
caffein when derived from coffee, and
them when derived from tea, but is the
same in either case anil affects the
nervous system similarly.
1t is true, coffee and tea differ in
their effects on the nervous system, and
while the consumption of tea increases
that of coffee decreases. But the diff
ference of action is not due to anv diff
ference of essential or fundam enta]
property, but to the accidental accom-
paniments, roasted coffee containing
fatty matter, albumen and glucose,
which are scarcely traceable in tea.
But the leaves of the coffee tree are
nearly destitute of these accidental &C.
companim ents, and contain a large
proportion of the stimulating property,
which renders the leaf of the tea tree
80 refreshing and generally acceptable.
There can be no doubt at all that the
reasonable use of coffee and tea in
their customary forms is beneficial, for
they are not only stimulants, but true
nutrients, the infusion of good
sample of either containing nitrogen in
a form suited to appropriation in the
and therefore contributory
to the fabric. 1t is no new thing to
make an infusion of the leaf of the
cocoa tree, for it is largely used in the
Indian Archipelago, although as yet
unknown as the foundation of a re-
freshing beverage in this country.

Marriage In India.

In Southern India children are mar
ried at eight years Of age. Native
fathers consider it disgrace to have
single girls in the family, and endeavor
to get them married in childhood, but
when married they do not always go to
their husbands homes. The marriages
are generally arranged by old women,
who go from family to family to find
suitable matches. Widows are treated
very badly by the natives; they are
made as miserable as possible. An
American woman doctor has a large
practice among the native women.

SPRING.
Thou of the sunny head,
WITH IsI,oa ,.loll

With lilies gailanded
And bosom fairer than the blown sea foam
Spring in what waste desert dost thou stay,
whist leaves await thy presence to unfold?
Inc branches of the lime with frost are gray,
And all imprisoned is the crocus gold
Come sweet Enchantress come
Though in the sombre West
Thy star has lit its crest
rae Phosphor fronting full the withered moon
my islets are sepultured in snow;
Thy daises twinkle never in the sun;
Rude winds throughout the ruined forests blow,
And silent is the doves melodious moan.
Enchantress hasten soon.
White are the country ways,
And white and tangled maze
Loved OF the oxslip and the creeping thyme:
Bare shakes the poplar on the sullen ridge:
Cold glooms the spectral mid above the food;
Hoarse torrents stream bene 18th the ivied bridge:
And ughtnings strike the darkness of the
wood
Enchantress bless our chime!
No bloom of dewy morn,
No freshly blossomed thorn,
Siaddens the importunings of sad eyes;
Inc dag wastes drearily, through cloud and sleet;
over the watered meadowa and stark wales
The night comes down impetuous and feet,
ana SHIPS and cities shiver in the gales.
Oh, fair Enchantress rise.
Arise and bring with thee
The rathe-bud for the tree
The healing sunshine for the trampled grass
Loose tendris for the bougns which bless the
caves,
And shield the swallows in the rainy hours
Inc pendant flames which tue aburnum heayes,
And faint scents for the ind stirred lilac
howers.
Enchantress breathe and pass.
Men knew and kissed of old
Thy garments glitterin3 fold
Thy radiant footprint the mead or waste;
Earth kindled at thine advent, affairs burned
And ringing cymbals babe the hearths be gay;
But now Ill sunless solitudes inurned,
Ihon leaYst the world unto reluctant Day
Oh, haste !! Enchantress. haste!
The lark shall sing again
Between the sun and rain;
Ahs Drown bee through the lowered pastures roam.
lhere shall be music in the frozen wood
gurgl1ng carol in the rushing brook
An odor in the half unbosomed bud,
And dancing fox-gloves in each forest nook,
Then come! Enchantress GENE!
