THE USEFUL KoLA-NUT.


An Explanation of Its Numerous Admi-
rable Qualities.
Sir John Thurston stated that the
fresh kola-nut had tho singular prop
erty of clarifying beer and spirits, and
OF rendering drlnlkable the foulest
waters, evidently owing to the muci-
lage contained In tho nut; and that at
the L.inean Slaiety oae OF the mem
bers-a planter from Jam lica-gave it
as his experience that he hal seen his
foreman cured of drunkenness by being
made to swallow paste consisting OF
kola and cream. An explanation OF
this property of the kola-nut may be
looked for in the fact that 1t contains
more than two pop cent of caffeine, the
actlve Ingredient OF the coffee-bean,
for It Is well-acknowledged fact that
strong black coffee has a decided effect
In righting those who arc under the in
fluenco OF drink.
Sir John then informed his hearers
of tho discovery that the kola nuts had
been prepared by Especial process into
paste that can not be distinguished
from cocoa paste. Experiments go to
prove that II kola paste be mixed with
cocoa it gives chocolate OF u quality
superior to Caracas, and that, II mixed
with three parts OF low-class cocoa,
1t improves the latter both in strength
and flavor to an astonishing degree.
Chocolate made with the kola Is ten
times more nutritious and sustaining
than II made with cocoa, and has, we
hear, been in use for the last three or
four years in some of the London hos
pitals as sustaining and
stimulating adjunct in exhaust
i've and wasting diseases, also
where it is necessary to resort
10 depressing treatment. We find
also the testimony of the sustaining
power of the kola-nut in report from
the director of the government tele-
graphs in Egypt who, during ono OF
his forced excursions into the interior,
subsisted solely upon kola chocolate
and few biscuits, without any ill eff
fects.
II would indeed be at once interest
ing and amusing to see our chemists
put on the apron and white cap and
serve up complete artificial dinner
from their laboratories, so that the
bread and vegetables should come be-
fore us in the shape Of crayfsh soup.
well-fried herring or carefully-boiled
cod, oyster pates, fish sauces. to be
followed by steak pies and sayory
ragouts. We know that they could
with ease, and. indeed, daily do, serve
us with an artificial cheese or paste OF
jargonelle pears and artificial apple
candy Such things have been dono,
and can be repeated. The vegetable
juices, long locked up in our coal-beds,
are now set free from the odorous tar,
TO assume considerable commercial
Importance as llavorlng essences.
What, however, really arrests our at
tention a1l calls for our wonder, with
our present chemical knowledge, is
that so long ago the old-world cooks
should not only have discovered, but
made practical uss Of, the mysterious
chemical virtues OF these paradoxica
vegetables. Chambers Joarnah

the assertion.

THE SECRET OF HEALTH.

a Lesson Taught by tho Useful Llfc Of
the Late DIR. Clarke.
No ono who knew him would say
that DR.. ClarGo was robust man, but
there wore few well moa who could do
more work than he did, or could do it
with less expenditure of nervous en-
ergy.. He was the man Of all the men
we have known who always had
strength for an emergency. He was
never idle, never hurried, and yet ono
who knew his habits and was acquaint-
ed with what he accomplished, and
was in the habit of measuring the man
by what he did, would always be sur
prised by the amount OF work that
passed through his hands. He was
once asked what was the secret Of his
tireless energy and great accomplish
ment. The reply was instantaneous,
and the assuring smile OF one who feels
that he has n satisfactory answer
spread over his features, rs he said:
II have never been in hurry; have
always taken plenty OF exercise; |
have always tried to be careful, and
have taken all the sleep that needed"
These were his health rules; and,
while his contemporaries one by one
succumbed to ill-health and early dis
appeared the veteran till less than two
years ago was in comparatively strong
health and could do his work with ap-
parent ease. When he broke down he
was like the zone Hoss Shay" cele-
brated by his friend and classmate,
DIR. Holmes; he seemed to go all at
once, as II the machinery OF his
physical system were worn out. lie
made the most OF his life, because he
made the most Of Che conditions which
nre the foundations OF splendid physic-
nj health. He knew from the first
how TO take care of himself. His rules
were as rigidly observed as the laws of
the Medes and Iarsians, and his
obedience TO them gave him nearly
eighty years Of active and helpful life.
Ho never wasted his energy. lie
never lamented that he could not do
the impossible He was an idealist
who. within the limits OF what could
be done, worked with all his might till
his working days were over.-Chr'S-
