Coffee for Alcoholism

IOHlNuEO 9VUIHuL
According to tho statement Of the vice d.
rector OF the Rio Joneiro Faculty of Medi
cine, In Brazil, where all the inhabitants take
coffee many times a day, alcoholism Is IN
known; it is further stated that Immigrants
contract little by little the fondnsss of the
BraEilians for drinking coffee, and their aver.
sion for liquor; and as the children OF these
immigrants never contract the fatal habit
known to their parents, it would seem that
the number OF drunkards In the country is in
inverse ratio to tho amount OF coffee con.
summed. A South American correspondent OF
The Medical Times confirms the above. as
serting that the number OF cafes In tho large
cities, where multitudes of persons from the
highest down to the lowest go-is enormous,
while drinking saloons are very few.

e,oudburst I'm Oregon.

A terrible cloudburst occurred IN Or
egon on Bridge Creek, in the John Day
country, about forty miles back from
the Columbia river. 1t occurred al
most without warning, between D and q
O'Clock on the evening of the I'd instant.
The residence of Mrs. Williams or Will
son was caught and washed into the
creek. The woman and four small
children were drowned, and the bodies
swept down some three miles. This is
the only loss of life so far as known,
though it is supposed that Others were
drowned. There was great destruction
of horses and cattle, and about twenty
houses aud as many barns were swept
away. Two teams with freight were
crossing small bridge at the hight
Of the food. The bridge was swept
away and the horses and wagons car
RED down the stream nearly twenty
miles. The drivers fortunately got to
the shore. It is estimated that the
bank Of water, as it poured down the
canyon, was from twelve to fifteen feet
high. This IS the first disastrous
waterspout ever known in Eastern Or
econ. A slight one occurred IN Eastern
Washington Territory about ten years
ago. but did very little damage.
