COFFEE. As . beverage, coffee is
agreeable but it should not oe very
strong, or drank too often, as it is unde.
niably q stimulant. Take only one cup
at the regular meal, aud that of a given,
unvarying strength. In this way it
may be used every day for a lifetime,
not only without injnry, but with greater
advantage than an equal amount of co Id
water. We have h. ard of a lady who
was Tor long time in poor health, "a
the mysti6cation oi several ph ysicians
whom she consulted, when at last they
discovered that she made almost ex,
travagsnt use Of strong coffee many time,
. day-in fact, she had q pot of coffee
always At hand. Following the advic,
to abstain from coffee resulted in i'm
tdiste ending Of all her trouble.

. cool, dark room, and on no accoup
suffer the sun 10 shine upon 1t. II the

well As light, 1t 10 better still. Dahlis
and the like need not Be removed unit
the frcsts are severe enough to blacke
the leaves.
