Coffee has been called the intellectual bev-
cragc on account of the Partially to it Of
men of science and letters poets and schol-
ars OF late il has been the fashion to de
cry its use and to say it is injurious to health
In some cases this may be true but the fact
that men can live on it and endure excessive
cXertiOn for several consecutive days proves
that it has virtues uneXCelled by any other
drink. IIabitual coffee drinkers generally
enjoy good health, never feeling any deprcs-
sing reaction, such as is produced 10y alcohol
ic stimulants. 1t is a mental and bodily slim
ulant, but its nutritive far exceeds its cXbil-
Grating properties; hence it is largely used by
physicians, who prefer it in some cases to the
best of soups for sustaining the system in GER
tain prostrating diseases. Coffee is inimica
to malaria and to all noXious vapors. In in
termittent fever it has been used by eminent
physicians with the happiest effect in cutting
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 malaral districts, accompan led
with enlarged spleen and torpid liver, when
judiciousy administered it is one of the sur
est remedies. In yellow fever it has been
used by physicians, and with some it is their
main reliance after other necessary remedies
have been administered; it retards tissue
change, and thus becomes a conservator of
force in that state in which the nervous sys-
TEN tends to collapse because the blood has
become impure; it sustains the nervous pow
er until the depuration and reorganization of
the blood are accomplished, and has the adj
vantage over other stimulants in inducing no
injurious secondary effects In spasmodic
asthma its utility is well established, as in
whooping-cough, stupor, lethargy and such
troubles. In historical attacks, for which in
many cases physician can form no dag
nosis, coffee is a great help. As disnfectant
it has wonderful powers As an instantane-
GUS deodorzer it has no equal for the sick
room, as all eXhalations are Immediately
neutralized by simply passing chafng-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 be injurious as an article of diet habitu-
ally employed, and not without deleterious
properties; but no corresponding nervous dis
arrangements have been observed after its eff
fects have disappeared as are seen in narcot-
les and other stimulants. The action impart-
ed to the nerves is natural and healthy. DIR.
Henry Segur, Of Paris, advocates the use of
| coffee as beverage, and says that 'if people
| are more nervous and in worse humor than
formerly, we may find other causes, arising
from the customs and habits of society, much
more likely to produce such a state of things
than the use of this particular article of
diet. "

Autumn mnha.

"In all trees, says Mr.. Grant Allen, in
knowledge "the buds which represent the
future branches for next years growth are
produced and elaborated in the preceding au-
tumn. As the dead leaves fall of in October
the living chlorophyll and protoplasm which
formed their active functional parts are with
drawn into the permanent tissues of the trees
and their withdrawal, aided by various inter
nal chemical changes, chiefly of the nature Of
oxidation, leaves the minor colorng matters
of the foliage far more prominent, and SO
gives rise to the glow of crimson and gold
which we commonly know as autumn tnts.
Outside the buds are enveloped in dry, brown
scales, which make them very inconspicuous
to the eyes of their enemies who would 9TH
erwise quickly devour these rising hopes of
the future season. These scales also act as
great coats or cloaks to cover the dormant
living germs from the cold of winter Every
body knows that frost kills plants; and every
body has noticed that if the foliage expands in
spring too soon, it is very apt to get nipped
off by late return of morning rime.
Now, what is true of the vital matter in
leaves generally is especially true of the vi
tai matter in very young and undeyeloped
leaves It cannot resist the slightest frost.
Hence natural selection has in the course of
long ages insured the best possible means
for keeping the true inner bud warm and
snug If you pick of some of the small brown
scales, you will see how closely they are
packed together, overlapping one another in
regular rows, or imbricated, as the technical
botanists call it. That is an unusually good
word, intoxicated, by way of scientific termi-
nology for it means arranged like tiles on a
roof; and in fact the scales do really lap over
one another like the Italian tiles that one
sees on cottages in Southern Europe. These
short, broad, brown, close scales are them
selves by origin abortive leaves which have
given up their original function of digesting
fresh material from the air. and have taken
to the new function of protecting their more
active sisters from the sharp teeth of the
frost. Underneath the outer brown pieces,
however, you come at last to some tiny bright
green knobs; and these shapeless little things
are the living parts which carry on the con.
tinuity of the bush from one season to an.
other.

A correspondent of western paper truly
says that, as ordinarily managed, half the
value of manure made by the swine is wasted
for want of proper absorbents. Nitrogen and
phosphoric acid are the costilest and most po-
tent in fertilization, and in many soils they
are the only elements which need be supplied
to the soil. 1t follows, then, that the dung
of animals which contains most of these sub
tances is of the most importance to the farm
ers. The fresh dung of swine, when they are
well fed, is richer in these two substances
than that of horses, sheep or cattle, as the
following table of comparative values will
show These figures represent the amount
of these ingredients in one thousand parts OF
fresh manure

In his popular work on manures, Mr..
Joseph Harris compares the value of load
of fifty bushels of fresh manure free from
straw and pressed down as follows;
Horse 1887 lbs nitrogen.

oheep''' ''.''''''... ............. lO4b -

1t is here shown that in nitrogen, the most
costly element that farmers are obliged to
supply to the soil, the average price of which,
take one year with another, is twenty five
cents per pound, ranks much higher than
either of the others named, in fact, about
double that of horse or COW manure and more
than double that of sheep. Where the urin e
is all saved, the preponderance is with the
sheep manure first, the horse next, then cat
tie and swine last but then hogs void large
quantity of urine, making up in quantity what
it lacks in quality. This urine can easily be
saved by the use of absorbents, such as straw
dry earth or muck. The two latter are not
only excellent absorbents, but they are anon q
the best deodorizers By their liberal us e
the pens will be free from any offensive odor
and prevent disease among the animals.
