CHR,
Conditfoathe decl which Tea-Drinking ID
afllahifyely Harmful,

ConditIo.the decl which Tea Drinking is
ashah nively Harmful.
There is 20 doubt that one of the
essential elements of tea. as we'll as
of coffee. is violent poison; but we
can not hence argue that all tea-drink-
ers are slowly poisoning themselves,
for the action of an elementary SUBJ
stance is modified by its combinations.
Still, tea-drinking is harmful under
certain conditions.
DR.. William N Billiard, of Boston,
read an article on the subject at a late
meeting of the Massachusetts, Medical
Society, which the society recommend
ed for publication. A year and a half
ago the author published a paper, CIV
ing the results of somewhat extended
investigations on the subject. These
were that the poison is not readily elm
mated, but accumulates in the system;
that its prominent effects on the young
and those who are in a depressed physi-
cal condition; that the average amount
of Oolong and Souchong teas (medium
grades) needed to produce injurious
symptoms is little less than five cups
day, and that the most common
symptoms are loss of appetite, dyspep-
STA, palpitation, headache, vomiting
and nausea, combined with various
forms of functional nervous affections,
hysterical and neuralgia.
These results have been confirmed
by further Investigations ~ mostly
among women who are accustomed to
drink considerable amount of tea
daily, without taking adequate food,
and when in an exhausted condition.
The vigorous and well-nourished and
those actively engaged in the open air
are not often similarly affected.
The nervous disturbance, due to
chronic tea-poisoning, is of a peculiar
character. Says DR.. Billiard: 1.-THE
normal condition of the nervous sys-
tenn is disturbed and replaced by con-
dition of hyper-excitability, or of less
stable equilibrium. This is shown by
their want of calmness, their general
restlessness and irritability. and the
desire to be constantly moving, while,
at the same time, there is a subjective
sensation of loss of self-control, and
of inability to act slowly. Such per-
sons are subject to exaggerated efforts
from ordinary impressions, they arc
startled, jump at unexpected noises or
sensations, or, in other words, react
too freely to slight external influences. y

into cakes and cooled it is sent to the
wrapping department, where the girls
give it the desired exterior. A pleasing
Endorsement of the purity of the article
is found in the fact that these young Ia
dies are inveterate consumers of the
article in whose preparation they are
engaged. The proprietor of the estab-
lishpent said that his daily shipments
averaged over one thousand pounds of
the prepared gum, and that it went
from Maine to the Gulf. A large pack

and guess at the number of jaws it
would require to warm the quantity on

EVENING COSTUMES.
Exquisite Gowns Recently Exhibited In
Americas Fashion Centers.

, Exquisite Gowns Recently fS11bited III
Americas Fashion Centers.
For elegant evening robes r. most
beautiful fabric is heavy silk, with
cream ground, covered with boquets OF
small flowers, worked in metallic
threads, of the natural but subdued
tone of the flowers, with tassels OF fine
metal beads depending all over. In
daylight the tones are soft and dainty,
but it is when worn beneath the gas OF
electric lights, that its glimmering
brightness is realized.
Clinging, soft materials are largely
in demand for evening wear, because
they drape more artistically than the
heavier fabrics, and the beauty and
style of dress now depe IDS much up
on the drapery. AS an example, %
dress with silk foundation shows cream
crepe de Chine falling carelessly, but
always gracefully about the skirt,
while the bodice is crossed from the
left shoulder by a breadth of the stuff,
which seemed to lose itself i'll the side
folds. The sleeves are formed OF Sc
ries of puffs to the elbow. Such
dress is simple, becoming, and COM
paratively inexpensive.
One of the so-called aesthetic dresses
for an evening party is made OF white
Indian muslin striped with lace inser-
lions, and a gold braid threaded down
each insertion. Over this a Greek bod
ice and tunic edged all round with lace
insertion, threaded with gold braid, are
worn, being secured at the waist line
by a gold band.
Gold clasps are on the shoulder, gold
bracelets above and below elbow, and
gold dog collar round neck, add to the
effect of the dress, and the hair of the
wearer is to be arranged la Diana,
with a gold chain coiled twice around
the head.
A handsome black dress for evening
wear is made of point d esprit, with
the edge of the skirt embroidered
round, and festooned instead of being
hemmed Under this is Il skirt of black
satin edged all round with a deep
founce of the same tulle also embroid-
cred and festooned round the edge. A
full bodice has satin bows on one shout
|. der, and satin sash round the waist,
which sash slightly loops up the skirt
on one side.
This dress made in black tulle, or any
plain black material, and trimmed
with stars and crescents of silver will
be beautiful for Might to wear to a
fancy dress BALL If made in colors or
cream it is lovely for sociables, or any
evening entertainments. An exquisite
concert toilette shows tunic of pale
blue silk poplin with loose panels,
edged round with large pearls, and
opening over skirt formed of white
lace fiounces. Under bodice of white
lace, worn beneath swiss bodice of
the blue poplin.
One of Worth church dresses is of
siiver-gray MORE, over Il skirt Of silver
gray sain pekin; the wrap to wear
with this dress is Maintenon scarf
mantilla of MORE velvet bordered with
gray feathers.
An exquisite theater dress of pansy
faille Franchise just from Paris, is
open in front to show tablier of ivory
satin which is marvclously and ex-
quisitely embroidered with fine beads.

CARPET CLEANING.

One of the most prolific sources OF

these diseases. But as the carpets must
be cleaned, and as the practice of beat

public nuisance, NJ. Bunel, the princi-

by which this nuisance might be re-
duced to a minimum, or, if possible,
entirely prevented. M. Bunel submit
