The Virtues OF Coffee.


The action of coffee is directed chiefly
to the nervous system. IT produces
warming, cordial impression on the
stomach, quickly followed by diffused,
agreeable and nervous excitement, which
extends itself to the cerebral functions,
giving rise to increased vigor of imagin-
ation and intellect, without any subse-
quent confusion or stupor, such as are
characteristic of narcotics. Coffee con-
talns essential principles of nutrition far
exceeding in Importance it's exhilarating
properties, and is one of the most deSir-
able articles for sustaining the system in
certain prostrating diseases. AS COM
pared with the nutrition to be derived
from the best of soups, coffee has de-
cdedly the advantage, and is to be pre-
terred in many instances. The medicinal
effects of coffee are very great In in
termittcnt fever it has been used by en-
lnent physicians with the happiest eff
tects in cuttiug short the attack, and if
properly managed is better in many
cases than the sulphate of quinine. In
that low state of intermittent, as found
on the banks of the Mississippi River
and other malarial districts, accompa-
MED with enlarged spleen and torpid
liver, when judiciousIy administered it
is one of the surest remedies. In yellow
fever 1t has been used by physicians,
and with some it is their main rela?ce
after other necessary remedies have been
administered; it retains tissue change.
and thus becomes conServator of force
in that state in which the nervous svs.
tenn tends to collapse, because the blood
has become impure; it sustains the
nervous power until the depuration AID
reorganization of the blood are accom-
plished, and has the advantage over
other stimulants in inducing no iniuri-
Gus secondary effects. In spasmndic
asthma its utility is we'll established, %
IN whooping cough, stupor, lethargy
and such troubles. In hysterical at
tacks, for which in many cases q physi-
clan can form no diagnosis, coffee is o.
great help.
Coffee is opposed to malaria, to all
noxious vapors. AS disinfectant it has
wonderful powers. AS an instantaneous
deodorizer it has no equal for the sick
room, as all eXhalations arc immedi-
ately neutralizcd by simply passing q
chahng-dish with burning coffee grains
through the room. 1t may be urged that
an article possessing such powers and
capacity for such energetic action must
oe injurious as an article of diet of ha-
Dltual employment, and not without
deleterious properties; but no CORE
spending nervous dlsarrangements have
been observed after it's effects have dis
appeared, rs are seen in narcotics and
other stimulants. The action impaired
to the nerves is natural and healthy.
Habitual coffee drinkers generally en-
Joy good health. Some of the oldest
people have used coffee from earliest
infancy without feeling any depressing
reaction, such as isproduced by alcoholic
stimulants.-Philudelphiu Times.

A WOman's Clever Escape From Prison.

Probably the most original escape
from prison ever devised was sue; ess-
fully carried out yesterday in Brooklyn.
Mary Rowe, confined in the RAYMOND
Street Jail under Indictment for grand
larceny, coolly walked across the count
yard from the women's prison in tho
old Jail to the visitors room in the new
wing, and after sitting quietly in II
chair Tor few moments was bowed out
by keeper ut the front door. She was
committed by Justice Fisher. on Sep
temCer 19, to await the action of the
Grand Jury, and was placed in u cell on
the upper tier OF the old Jail She has
been frequently visited by friends since
her incarceration, who brought her aD-

visitor, she announced that Size had
come to meet her sister, Mrs. Madden,
who had been locked up for intoxica-
ton, but who was to be discharged that
morning, and that she had been unsuc-
cessfully seeking her through the iai!
for IN hour. Cowan informed her that
Mrs. Madden had been discharged the
day before. The supposed sister burst
into tears and, expressing her regret at
having arrived too late, was escorted to
the door by the keeper, who drew back
the bolt and bowed her out, saying he
was sorry he could not aid her. Ten
minutes later it was discovered that
Mary Rowe had escaped and general
alarm was given. Keeper Cowan has
been suspended and the Brooklyn police
are busily searching for woman in
black. Mary's method of larceny was
as follows: She would advertise for a
| position rs a servant and offer TO work
at nominal wages, having never been in
service before. After q few days in the
house she would disappear with what
ever valuables she could get Many
complaints were lodged at police head

Costumes.

A Russian General, who now holds q
very important command in the far
East, complained, when some five or
six years ago. he visited London, thatit
was impossible to understand On what
principle the English dressed them

him to dinner; and on appearing among
them he found himself the Cnly one Of
the party who wore frOck coat. The
next morning he was to breakfast with
few more friends; and, determined
this time to be on the safe side he pre-
sented himself in q dress suit. We have
met with Il novel in which one of the
principal incidents was the refusal of O

to admit distinguished foreigner who,

approach, indeed, to a despotism of
taste That now exists in England is the

tolerate nothing but black and white.
In ordinary life people will doubtless
continue to dress as they may think fit,
without needing the circumstances and
appeals addressed to them by those who
have studied the subject. and who have
at once better information and better
perceptions than the general mass of
mankind. But what may be permitted

A man and woman lived together

A man and woman lived together
as man and wife for nine years. At the
expiration of that period the man
claimed to have discovered that the wo-
man had another husband living. To
offset this the woman professed to have
discovered that the husband had anoth-
er wife still in existence. Then it was
ascertained that the first--or second
husband Of the wife had in the interval
married again. Then it was attempted
to be proved that the first--or second
wife of the original husband had died,
and at last the much muddled suit was
dropped by mutual consent.-N. Y
