An exchange says: "If people would
purchase green coffee and brown it in their
houses, there would be fewer cases of dip
liberia, scarlet and typhoid fever The
aroma arising from the browning berry is
one Of the best agents in disintecting dwell
lings of impure air. 1t is easier to buy
coffee already Drowned than to prepare it,
but the preparation once a week saves
health and doctors bills. The doors should
be left open and let the aroma perade
every room.

"A correspondent at New Madrid writes
to the Missouri Republican that the banks
of the Mississippi river at that point are
caving badly and suggests that the results
of the appropriation for the New Madrid
reach have been entirely inadequate to the
amount appropriated. He says an itemized
account of the expenditure there would be
timely. Those having the facts before
them, and who should be ready at any
time TO give an account Of their expendi-
lures, may be able to give the people Of
this quarter information which would be
useful and satisfying.
Some time ago there was formed in
New York city society called Business
Mems Moderate Society" It's chief object
is to discourage the pernicious habit Of
treating. And now the Germans of Cincin.
natl have formed an organization called
the "Teutonic Anti-Treating Society,"" thus
perpetuating the custom of the fatherland.
These are steps in the right direction. It
is fully conceded that the custom of reci-
procal drinking exerts a most potent inhu-
ence in creating incorporate habits.
When antl-treating societies become more
general they will effect more in behalf of
temperance than the most earnest advocates
of legislation and constitutional prohibition
can ever hope to accomplish.
Some weeks ago Chief Myers sent sew
eral pieces of jewelry to l.. Bowman g. Co.,
st. Louis, to be made over into different
forms. The jewelry comprised several vau-
able diamonds which we're to be reset, and
which he priced very highly more on &C.
count of their being heirlooms than for
their intrinsic value. The firm acknowl-
edged the receipt of the goods and that
was all the chief heard from them for sew
eral weeks, when he wrote ENDURING if the
jewelry was done and received anwer that
it was and had been sent back ten days be-
fore. But the jewelry had not arrived
here, nor has it yet. An investigation
proved that it was lost at Du Quoin on its
way down here, and that no further trace of
it can be found. 1t is value is several hun
dred dollars, for which Bowman & Co., are
to the chief.
