stow COFFEE EFFECTS PEOPLE.

New York has docter of mus ual
brightness who has busted himself lately
writing pithy and scholarly monograms on
some of the endorsed evils of society His
latest manifesto is on How Coffee Affects
People, and the aim of the paper is to
show shat coffee is one Of the most powerful
drugs in the List of medicines The proof of
its power as a drug is shown by the fact
that it is used to a greater extent than any
other as an antdotc, for poisons both vegeta-
BILE and animal. He urges that he does not
desire to reach the ear of the public in gem
eral, but Of those who have pains in the re-
gion of the heart, oppressed breathing and
an irregular pulse; those who are exceed
ingly nervous and unable to sleep at night :;
those who have full feeling dizziness
and pains of a neuralgia character in the
head; who have nausea and sourness of
stomach without having tranSgresscd the
laws of life, who have pains in the liver,
a yellow skin, with eyes of the same sort
and lastly who have henlorrhods.
II the doctor supposes he has left out
one or two of all creation from this list he
may be right, but he certainly is moving
a wide swath, and may honestly say he is
after the ear of the public. 70 those he
offered one suggestion. Omit coffee for a
time, throw physc to the dogs and find out
il the trouble after all is not in the drug
used Us beverage. In moderate doses
coffee raises the blood pressure and accel-
crates the heart Now, says the doctor,
heart disease is in The main an easily pre-
vented disease, and if is very frequently
due to the excessive use of coffee. He en-
umcratod several instances where he had
called to prescribe and had found his
patients given up to die, bat there was real
ly nothing the matter but the breakfast
drug.
He wisely suggests that in this day of
sudden deaths we are called upon to review
our methods of living and eating in order
to get at the cause or causes. The heart
and the brain requires rest as we'll as other
organs of The body. If the vessels in the
brain are kept dstended we have as a
warning dizziness and pain, and if the
warnings are UNDECIDED, apoplexy. So with
the heart So short are its intervals Of rest
when beating at 70 to 81 that we can hard
ly conceive it. Add TO this the stimulus
that sends it up to 80 and we must produce
disease He concludes that for oar regular
meals and at evening parties we should
substitute the simpercoeoa or bouillon and
escape danger

youth. There are things that they need f
learn early. If they can be taught correct
~ by their intimate associates, playmate:
or family servants, it is well. Farm
hands, or hired girls, who can be trusted
with this service, in the intervals of theil
stated labor, become invaluable members
of household
Hired men possess all sorts of characters;
and yet, the employers need not be long in
ascertaining what they are. Whatever
moral virtues they may be found to pos
sess. should be recognized and properly
respected. They want companionship.
and if they do not find it in the homes OF
employers, they are tempted to seek it in
the saloons or other haunts of dissipation,
where no formal introduction is needed.
Let the hired man know that good habits
and good capital and then he will not be
backward in eultivating them.
Farm hands and all kinds of aborers
are often considered rcpulsive in good So
ciety, in consequence Of their boorish ways
and lack of culture. To such, the employ-
er has numerous chances of giving useful
information, and intoxicating such habits
as will be passport to respectability
And if he be competent to do so, he should
let no opportunity pass unimprrved The
farm hand who cultiyatcs pure morals and
renders himselyes proficient in all agricul-
tural operations. is in fair way of pro-
motion to a more exalted position; and the
fault is his if he does not deserve it.
Working on a farm is good school for
young man: let his design for the future
be what it may. He there has opportun-
tiles of studying character, and learning
modes of living and what it is that con-
duces most to the welfare OF the domestic
relation. If he does not profit by these OPP
portunties he will suffer for his lelin-
quency. His employer should furnish him
profitable and edifying reading -agricul-
tural journals especially.
In conclusion, | will only say, that the
employer must have Judgment, SO as to
know to what intimacy in his family the
hired man may justly be admitted; and the
latter should identify himself with the in
tercsts of the family where his abode is.
Their reputation, too, he must respect.
He should serupulonsly avoid gossiping
about their private aifirs, and in Il certain
degree regard himself one of them.
There are duties and obligations incum-
bent on both, which, when properly full
filled. rende their relations peculiarly inter
esting and advantageous to each other

coon NEWS FOR WOMEN.

This is the day of common sense. Is has
been believed that women are under spec
ial curse Of suffering Scientific research,
voluminous books and wordy disputations
all have awaited little in refuting this.
A small amount of good practical SENSE
natural sense, comes in and proves that all
disease is unnatural; that pain and suffering
can be prevented; that even the suffering
attending maternity can be avoided; that
aooDaen need net 90 dorm to d8dM in giving
birth to children. Who brought the llnowl-
edge to us? Did it come from the lore of
medical college or the brain of phioso-
pliers? BY no means 1t comes through
the wit of woman. She suddenly diseov
cred that breath is life; the moe breath the
more life So far as she has lost breathing
power, so far she lacks the ability to meet
the demands Of existence. In proportion
to his powers to breath man has health,
strength, longevity aud power off endurance.
Man must breathe to work. Is moi wom-
an as good as a man? Did not God give
her the same life? She shifts the ali Of
freedom.
SHE BURSTS TIE BONDS.
She walks drives and lives outdoors.
She discard the belts and bones that re
stiet the breath; she climbs hills and
stairs, She seeks outdoor games and
pursuits, never forgetting that varied
and useful exercise is always found in
household duties. Once able to breathe,
woman is free, free to live from pain and
work ithont fatigue. Having lung power
backaehe and headache will become one of
the myth of the ages.
This is the golden discovery of the nine
teenth century that breath secures life to
women, and through her posterity Shout
the glad tidings! Ring bells of joys!
Women are no more to be bound by suffer
ing.
Woman has always had wit and wisdom,
she is now learning to breathe; yes, she
has caught her breath She becomes 4
producer as we'll rs consumer She
stands by man in business, education and
philanthrophy. Nations groan for the
moral impetus possible from woman 5
wisdom and work. The mother element,
made practical and aggressive, will mod
iiy and mold all interests of humanity

ssBEGIN ON THE
CARS

II live, said a gentleman lately, sin
town near New York, and go to my bust
ness there and return on the same line of
railway. The train in the morning and
afternoon is filled with girls from ten to
eighteen years on their way to and from
schools in the city. They usually belong
to families of the educated, influential class
and at home are carefully guarded from
vulgar or vicious companions. They are
not SO guarded on the cars. and the result
is soon apparent.
''For example. remember, about five
years ago, that blushing little girl of -
was put one morning on the train by her
father; her books were in an embroidered
bag, and her ticket ready in her portemon-
maize 1t was evidently the first time She
had made the journey alone. She sat tim
idly in one corner, her color coming and
going when the conductor spoke to her.
She was Il picture of innocence and mod
esty.
"After that, she came down every day on
the same train. In a day or two, | noticed
that she was listening to the clatter of the
other school girls at first with a mixture
of disgust and amazcment on her shy face.
Presently, as she became used to it, the
disgust wore off, and she listened smiling
to their absurd gossips and jokes.
SIN a week or two the conductor and
brakeman recognized her as familiar fig
ure, and tipped their hats to her as she
stepped on board A little later they ex-
changed good morning and remarks about
the weather She apparently felt that civ
ility required some answer. When, as
weeks passed, the conductor, young, vul-
gar fellow stopped beside her seat To ask
what was her school, and to make remarks
on her text books, the girl, though fright
encd and annoyed did not know how to
dismiss him.
Before the summer was over, she had
lost much of her shyness and helplessness.
She came alone to the train, jumped on
board. and marched into the car like the
The girl was not To blame. 1t was the
natural effect of her daily journeys with
ont protection. But the dewy bloom was
fast going from the peach.
''In a year that girl entered the car as if
it belonged to her, laughing and joking
loudly with the other girls and the train
hands She had lost all interest for me,
and ceased to notice her. One day, how
ever, about a year afterward, the morning
papers contained the account of the elope-
mcnt of the daughter of Judge Blank with
a man who turned out to be a professional
gambler Their acquaintance, it was
stated, began ON the cars.
''It was the shy little girl. She might
yet be shy and innocent and happy. il her
mother had not subjected her 10 the risks
of that unprotected journey. No eduea-
ton can atone for the price paid for if in
such exposure. - Toath's Companion.
