The Potency of Coffee.

Tea, except in the exaggerated form OF
lightly dried green tea, is a mild stimulant
and sudoriic, or, to use common phrase
among those who drink it, a comforter or
stay" Coffee is more potent than tea. 1t
not only arrests waste OF tissue, but it also
possesses qualities which bring it very near
to the limits Of the range of dangerous drugs.
II we take theme, the alkaloid of tea-and
we may practically leave out of considera-
ton the difference between black tea and
greenland compare it with the correspond
ing alkaloid in coffee, we find certain marked
differences. Coffee is more immediate and
more marked in its effects than tea. A
strong cup of coffee will act on the moment,
and is sometimes employed by medical men
as an emetic Or, again, cup of hot coffee
will recruit man who has suffered from 4
violent shock, where cup of warm tea
would be not much better or more efficacious
than basin of Cruel 1t may be agreed
then, that coffee properly prepared is q

FLACK AND HIS BOAT

There Is, it is claimed, some shadow Of ex-
cuse for Mr. Flack to risk his neck. He has
constructed life boat which he desires to
test. For some time he experimental at
home, but his boat having been completed he
permitted the public 70 inspect her, and an
nounced the grand trial trip on the national
anniversary. The Phantom, the boat Is
called, has straight keel Of Is feet in length,
with feet o inches beam and depth Of "a
inches. The keel is Of oak, with wrought
iron shoe extending its entire length and
back to protect the wheel and rudder from
being broken on the rocks The wheel, which
Is small, is set between the rudder and the
stern. A shaft from the propeller runs to
the cock pit, where 1t is revolved by sys-
tenn Of gearing worked by a crank. NO joke
intended)
The boatman is dashed in the boat by
means of straps. Instead Of air chambers
she is provided with compartments filed
with composition lighter than cork, mas
much rs air chambers are liable TO bo
crushed and the air let out Most Of the boat
is covered with decks. The rudder is worked
by means Of cords passing from the cockpit
and arranged so that they may easily he
made fast in any position, leaving the boat
man free TO attend TO other matters. The
weight Of the whole craft is 500 pounds.
Mr. Flack designs the boat for life saver.
He has been shipwrecked several times, and
consequently knows the value Of good life
boat. When he was II years old he ran away
from home and went TO sea. On one occasion
he was knocked OFF yard arm into heavy
sea and swan after the ship, through snow
storm, for four hours That boy is swim

him, and sent a lifeboat for him He was
taken aboard, and says that was the last he
knew for thirty-six hours Another time he
was wrecked with a crew on a coral reef

The Ancient and Honorable artillery COM
pany has bravely gone through all the wars
that have ever taken place in North Amer
lea, either as body or tho members volun-
tarily enlisting as individuals. In the war
of the Revolution many Of them were killed,
and the company always held itself in readi-
ness during the first years Of this century to
resent any British invasion on the city OF
Boston. In the civil war tho ranks Of the
company were very much depleted by the
loss Of many Of the members who had gone
to the front and bcen killed in battle. AT
the close Of the war, however, large aces
sion of members took place, and at the pres.

bers, few having resigned or been discharged
for the past few years.
