Breakfast Beverage.

Under the heading the editor Of
"Science" groups together n great deal
OF information ON the action Of tea, cof.
fee and chocolate. The latter, he 4 says.
from its large proportion Of albumen. is
the most nutritiouf beverage, but at the
same time, from its quantity Of fat, the
more difficult to digest. Its aromatic
substances, however, strengthen the d.
gestion. A cup Of chocolate is an ex-
cellent restorative and sinvigorating re-
freshment even for weak persons, pro-
vided their digestive organs are not too
delicate. Cardinal Richelieu attributed
to chocolate his health and hilarity dur
ing his later years.
Tea and coffee do not afford this adj
vantage. Albumen in tea leaves, legu-

therefore. il mixed with tea or coffee is
more difficult of digestion than if taken

promotes digestion after dinner by in-
creasng the secretion Of juices. The
volatile oil of coffee and the empyreumat-
10 and armotic matters of chocolate ac-
celerate the circulation which, on the
other hand, is calmed by tea.
Tea and coffee both excite the activity
of the brain aud nerve. Tea. it is said,
increases the power of digesting the
impression we have received, creates a
thorough meditation, and, in spite of
the movements of thoughts, permits tho
attention to be fixed upon certain sub
ject. On the other hand, if tea is taken
in excess, it causes an increased irrita-
bility of tho nerves, characterized by
with general feeling OF
restcssness and trembling Of the limbs.
Coffee, also, if taken in excess, produces
and many baleful effects
very similar to those Of tea drinking.
Coffee, however, produces greater ex-
element, and sensation of restlessness
and heat ensues. For throwing off this
condition, fresh mir is the best antidote.

He Pawned His Baby's Shoes.

"No, | won't drink with you to-day,
boys said well-dressed young man to
several companions, as they settled down
in an uptown cafe the other evening,
when the decanter was passed. "Thc
fact is boys, | have quit drinking
have sworn off, He was greeted with
shouts of laughter by the jolly fellows
around him they put the decantcr un-
der his nose, and INDUCED in many jokes
ut his expense, but he refused to drink
and was rather serious about it.
Whats the matter with you. old boy p
sang out one. "If you've quit drinking,
something's up. Tell us what it is"
"Well, boys, | will, though | know
you'll laugh at me. But I'll tell you
just the same. I've been hard drinker
all my life ever since | was married,
as you fellows know love whiskey /;
it's as sweet to me as sugar, and God
only knows how I'll quit it. For five
years not n day has passed over my head

fast and many drinks through the day.
But Pm done.
Yesterday | was over on the East
side. Down in the Bowcry customer

him, and while was there young
man of not more than rs. wearing scody-
looking clothes, and with the appear
ance of not having seen sober day for
month, came in with little parcel in
his hand.
"Tremblingly he unwrapped it and
handed the article to the pawnbroker.
Give me ten cents. And boys, what
do you suppose it was ? A pair Of baby's
shoes, little bits of things, with tho but
tons only triae soiled, as if they had
been worn once or twice.
"'Where did you get these 2 asked
the pawnbroker.
"'Got them home, replied the man,
who had an intelligent face, despite his
sad condition. MY wife bought them
for my baby. Give me ten cents for
them | want drink
i "'You had better take these shoes
back to your wife. The baby will need
them,' said the pawnbroker.
No she won't need them because
she's dead. She's lying at the house
now; she died last night
Gas he said this the poor fellow broke
down, bowed his head on the counter
and wept like child. Boys, you can

The Dragon Tree

This is now not at all uncommon in
American gardens. 1t has stiff, bayouet
like leaves, very much resembling yuccs
or adams needle plant to which, indeed
1t is closely related. 1t is very popular tc
set in vases and to grow as a tub plant,
like the American aloe or sgave for sum
mer decoration IN open air gardening.
The small, greenish-white flowers are
much in structure like yucca flowers, but,
unlike their American brother, are by no
means snowy.
It's interest lies chiefly "A its foliage
aud in it's history, which brings i5 in close
association with he history of our race,
for there was until 1878 a specimen grow
ing near OrotaGa in the island OF Tener-
life a specimen that was regarded as
much older than any one of the giant
trees of California; older, indeed, than the
pyramids of Egypt, and on which the
eyes of many of the classic persunages of
ancient history had rested in wonder and
admiration. 1t was, at the time of its up
roofing by "a storm, 10 feet high and 40
feet IN circumference, and it is known to
have undergone no material change since
the fifteenth century. The interior Of
the trunk, which has been hollow for cen
turtles, was used for q Roman Catholic
chapel, after the conquest of the island
by the Spaniards. It's sap is Of blood
red color, aud was used in ancient times
for embalming the dead. It's blood-like
appearance doubtless suggested the my
biological theory of the dragon guarding
the islands of the Hesperides, story aid
ed in its inception, perhaps, by the sword
like leaves.
Plants OF this Yucca character, even
when they assume strong trunks. DO rot
branch greatly. This dragon tree does
not branch till it gets to be 20 or 30 years
Of age, and when it does assume a head it
IS rather as huge bunch OF coral than as
ala ordinary tree.
