Convention. lie interprcts the action of
the convention ~ in the main opposed To
him. In conversation with gentlemen
who called upon him yesterday he is re-
ported aS having said iha. lie was not in
the least disturbed by the action OF that
body, though lac would of course have felt
greatly pleased If the resolution indorsing
him aud hi> policy had been adopted. As
it was, the Introduction OF the resolution
and the speeches made in favor oft show
ed what he already felt certain OF, that he
WAS not without strong support among
the Republicans in the lumber state. The
gentleman thinks TIE President i conf
dent that It will not be long before Maine
will be ready TO iulorse him. Referring
to Senator Blaine's speech. he said he was
not al all surprised by that gentleman,

Mr.. H. r. STEvENs-Dear Sir: AS you are

what VegeUine has done for me. Only those
who have Deen raised from deaths door can
know the value of such good medicine am
fifty Eight years of age. Three years ago |
was taken sick with what the doctors called
Lumbago For weeks l was confined to my
bed. had three different physicians, without
any help. L received no relief was a great
sufferer; finally | became entirely helpless.
The last doctor told me there was no helpi he
said he might possibly save my life by Inject
ing morphine In my arms and legs. The en-
couragement for saving my life by having this
done was SO small Il chance could not consent
to run the risk. About this time my son read
your advertisement in our paper, testimony
of a person who had been berry sick with about
the same complaint and was cured. My son
went right away to the apothecary store and
bought a bottle of Vegetine. Before L had
used the first bottle found reat relief; could
move myself in bed After taking three bottles
! was able TO sit up and move about my room.
L continued taking the Vegetine, and was in
a few weeks restored to my former health. The
Vegetne saved my life aftor the physicians
said there was no help for me. | have had no
doctor since. II feel unwell take dose OF
Vegetine, and / recommend 1t to my friends
Your Vegetine ought to be IN every family.
My doctor was surprised to see me in good
health. He says "Vegetine is a good medi-
cine" tell him it cured me. He says, cit

A LEGEND ABOUT COFEEE.

There is a legend about coffee-a
legend in which a pious Mussulman is
the hero. The Mussulman used to get
sleepy during his devotions, and so he
prayed to Manomet, who came to his aid.
Mah0met sent him lor advice to goat
nerd, who took hint from his goats. He
observed that when these animals ate
he berries Of a particular tree they got
risky and exclted-bouuded about all
The night, in fact. The MussuIman took
The hint, ate the cotfee-oerries, slept less,
and no doubt prayed better.
That was the legend. That coffee,
however, was sold in the streets of Cairo
toward the end OF the sixteenth century
is not matter of legend, but of history.
In fact, it was not only sold, but it was
forbidden to be sold. An Arabian his
torian recounts that in the year 1888
CAFE was attacked by the authorities,
and the customers VINO were found on
the spot hurried off to prison, from
which they were not liberated till they
uad each received seventeen strokes
With a stick, for the encouragement OF
others! Aud, i'll TACT, this RAID served
that purpose so excellently, that five
and-twenty years atterward the town Of
afro could boast OF more than two
thousand shops where coffee might be
bought.
From Cairo to Constantinople was in
those days necessary transition, and
he new drink once established in Eu-
rope soon made its way TO the East.
