Women VINO Won't Marry.

Men marry the rattle brains of society.
They choose the pretty, good-for-noth-
ing girls, for that is the kind they like;
they run after and marry the l~iyeliest
girl at a picnic or ball, though she may
be a ''holy terror at home; they run
after the belle and the heiress, though
she may be selfish and spoiled, silly;
they lass by the jewels and take ''tIle
snide,o for that is all they know, and
then, like Adam, they blame the fruits
Of their own folly on the woman.
Twas ever thus.
But, bIethren-We wish TO break it to
you gently-there are women right here
at home who have their own money to
use as they please; who have theirsown

tlens; who can, If the fancy seizes them,

Cure of Consumption.

The will of the late DR.. John NJ.
Howe of Passaic has been admitted to
probate. For many years he was a dem
fist. He leaves an estate valued at
$500. 0G0, OF which 81, 500 sgiven to the
Passaic Methodist Church and the re-
mainder to his family. His father was
a Captain In the Revolutionary war and
he ~bequesthed the original commits
sion, a yellow document signed by
George Washington, to his son, DR.. John
NJ Howe of this city.
A part of the will relates curiously to
his health. A considerable portion is,
in fact, a treatise on the III of con-
sumption. He introduces the subject
by saying that in 1888 his life was pre-
served by the free inhalation of pure,
fresh air, after which time, in deep gra-
titude to God, he made the subject of
correct breathing of common air" a
study. He had been impressed by OBJ
serving the result of a sigh in the lnte-
rior mechanism, the normal action of the
organs being reversed thereby and
everything being disarranged, while full,
deep breathing led to a healthy dvelop-
ment of all these organs. He came TO
the belief that by the adoption of the
mode of breathing referred to tubercu-
lar disease and all pulmonary consump-
ton could be forever annihilated. He
closes the treatise with the exclamation,
''God hasten the dayl"

Under this heading the editor OF
Science" groups together a great deal
of information on the action OF tea, cOf-
fee and chocolate. The latter, he says,
from its large proportion of albumen, Is
the most nutritious beverage, but at the
same time, from its quantity of fat, the
more difficult to digest. Its aromatic
substances, however, strengthen the
digestion. A cup of chOcol tte is an ex-
cellent restorative and iuvigocating
r%efresnment eve for weak persons, pro-
vided their digestive organs are not too
delicate. Cardinal Richelieu attributed
to C Ocolate his health and hilarity du
ring later years.
Tea and coffee do not afford this adj
vantage. Albumen in tea leaves, legu-
min in coffee berries, are represented
in very scanty proportions. The praise
of tea and coffee as nutritive is there
fore hardly warranted. Tea and coffee.
though of themselves not difficult of
digestion, tend to disturb the digestion
of albuminOus substances by precipita-
ting them from their dissolved state.
Milk, therefore, IL mixed with tea or
coffee, Is more difficult of digestion than
If taken alone; and coffee alone, with
out cream, promotes digestion after
dinner by increasing the secretion OF
juices. The volatile oil of coffee and
the e~mpyreumatic and aromatic matters
of chocolate accelerate the circulation
which, on the other hand is Gained by
tea.
Tea and coffee bot excite the activi-
ty of the brain and nerves. Tea, it is
said, increases the power Of digesting
the impressions we have received, Gre
ates a thorough meditation, and IN spite
Of the movements of thoughts, permits
the attention to be fixed upon a certain
subject. On the other hand, IS tea is
taken In excess, it causes an increase
irritability of the nerves, chara 1terlZed
by sleeplessness, with a general feeling
of restlessness and trembling of the
limbs. Co2ee, also. If taken in excess.
produces sleeplessness and many baleful
effects very similar to those of tea
drinking. Coffee, howeye, produces
greater excitement, and a sensation of
restlessness and heat ensues. . For
throwing off this condition, fresh aIr IS
the best a~ntitOte.

Tue Law Of Finding.

The law of finding Is this: The ind
or has a clear title against the world ex-
cept the owner. The proprietor of a
coach or a railroad car or a shop has no
right to demand the property found on
the premises. Such proprietors may
make regulations in regard to lost pro-
perty which will bind their employees,
but not the public. The law of finding
was declared by the Kings bench 100
years ago, ia a $ In which the facts
we're theses
A person found = wallet containing q
sum Of moneyNod q shop floor. he
handed the walls End contents TO the
shop keeper to be returned TO the
owner. After three years, during
which the owner did not call for his
property, the finder demanded the wal
let and the money from the shopkeeper.
The latter refused to give them up on
the ground that they were found on his
premises. The former then sued the
s~hopkeeper, and 1t was held as above
set forth, that against all the world but
the owner, the title of the finder is per-
feet. And the finder has been held to
stand in the place of the owner, so that
he was permitted to prevail in an action
against a person who found an article
which the plaintiff had originally found
but subsequently lost unless those rights
are conferred by statute. Receivers Of ar
ticles found are trustees for the owner
or finder. They have no power in the
absence OF a special statute to keep an
art Gle against the finder, any more than
a finder has to retain al article against
the owner.

FRANCE, in her fancied security, little
 dreams of her narrow escape from e1-
 treme humiliation aud perhaps utter Rn-
 initiation in her war with China, and all
 through a simple act of the Thirteenth
 Legislature of Arizona. Whatever else
 nay be said of that body, the republic of
 France owes IL a debt of gratitude that
 would bankrupt her to pay. To make a snort story long, there were three promi- nent members of the ''press gang" at
 Prescott, aud they were distinguished among the community known as the Irish Reservation" who entered into uegotiatiOns, through Prescott attorney,
 with representatives Of the Chinese gov rcument at San Francisco, to proceed
 .t once to the celestial empire and take command of the nOcn-eyed army m active hIstility to the French. Tce ,erms of the agreement stipulated that victory was forever to perch upoI the the heathen banner, led by the irrepres- -lole Mclean bohemians, and the bloody frog eaters were to be mown down like pig weeds before a McCor-
 mick harvester.
