Tho shrewd emperor of Brazil.

The emperor is one of the best friends the
United States has. He copies everything good
that is American. In fact, all Brazilians are
beginning to adopt American customs instead
of French, as used to be their way. Tbs en-
peror is a shrewd old man, and there is little
that goes on in his empire that he is not cog
infant of. He is a great reader of newspa-
,,e,s, and is said to keep his ministers in per
petual activity by ordering Investigations as
to the truth of every newspaper article at
lacking a government official which he sees.
The Republican party in Brazil is small but
violent. The emperor, however, has a sure and
safe way of controlling it. Whenever a mar
of brains appears in its ranks and threatens
10 become dangerous, what does the emperor
tog Send, him to the convict islands, Exile

HOW COFFEE AFFECTS PEOPLE.


One of the Most owerful Drugs-A Cause
of Heart Trouble-A Suggestion,
New York has a doctor of unusual bright
..ess who has busted himself lately writing
jithy and scholarly monograms on some of
$40 baptized and Endorsed evils of society.
Ills latest manifesto is on Chow Coffee AT
fects People;n and the aim Of the paper is to
show that coffee is one of the most powerful
drugs in the list of medicines. The proof of
LIS owe as a drug is shown by the fact that
it is used to a greater extent than any other
as an antidote for poisons, both animal and
Vegetable. He urges that he does not desire
,s,r.ach the ear-of the public in general; but
OF those who have pains in the region OF the
heart, oppressed breathing aud an irregular
pulse those who are exceedingly nervous and
ai,able to sleep at night; those who have a
full feeling, dizziness and pains of q neuralgia
character in the head; who have nausea and
sourness of the stomach without having
transgressed the laws of life; who have pains
IN the liver, a yellow skin, with eyes of the
came sort; and lastly, who nave hemorrhoids.
Ii the doctor supposes he has left out one or
M of all creation from this list he may be
right, but he certainly is moving a wide
swath, ard may honestly say he is after the
ear of the public. To these he offers one sug-
gestion. Omit coffee for a time, throw physic
to the dogs, and find out If the trouble after all
is not in the drug used as a beverage. In mod
crate doses coffee raises the blood pressure
and accelerates the heart. Now, says the
doctor, heart disease is in the main an easily
prevented disease, and it is very frequently
due to the excessive use of coffee. He enrmer-
ates several instances where he had called to
prescribe and had found his patients given up

cent dining cars.
