Some people doubt the poisonous
effect of nutmeg, but several cases of
nutmeg poisoning have been noted
in the British Medical Journal during
the past summer. A whole nutmeg
was taken in four of the cases, and
five whole ones in the remaining
case. In still another case. the use OF
half a nutmeg in a hot drink was
nearly fatal.

and Dress of the Al.
gerian Children.
FUN, FACTS, AND FANCIES.
"What's in a Nance" or How Johnny
Bryson Came By His Nick
name, "Wart."
Algerian Children.

I must again refer to the children, for
this street was teeming with little
Tlemcenites who had never left, and
probably never would leave, their native
town. The boys, when running about,
wear nothing but long white chemise
and dark blue vest, but of all bewitch-
ing creatures in the world the girls can
hardly be surpassed. They are every
where, and must strike the stranger,
certainly an artist, as prominent
feature of interest. Some are going to
the bakers, carrying unbaked loaves
piled on plank on the head; others
with little brass-bound buckets brim-
ming with milk; singly, in crowds, al
ways fascinating; not only pretty. but
arrayed in an infinite variety of cos
tunes they dart from shadow into sun
light, and disappear in a twinkling
around corner or through doorway.
They wear, first, white chemise with
gauze sleeves, over It gandoura, or
chemise without sleeves, and reaching
nearly to the ankles, usually of printed
calico, glazing in color, and with spots,
stripes, birds, branches, and leaves;
this gandoura is sometimes of rich bro
cade or light silk. Over the first they
often wear second gandoura of tulle
with design in it, ordinarily nothing
more or less than common white lace
curtain stuff. All the materials hang
limp and hutter when they run; round
the waist broad ceinture, and over the
shoulders little bodice. On the head
conical cap, always of crimson velvet,
more or less ornamented with gold
thread; children and unmarried girls
wear them with strap under the chin !;
married women tie them on with q
colored handkerchief besides the strap.
Their hair is fringed square, just over
the eyebrows, and plated down the
back. The operation of dyeing it dark
brownish wine-color requires several
days. during which time they appear
certainly at disadvantage. Henna is
made into mushy paste and plastered
all over the head, as much as the hair,
being tied up all over, can hold in place
and even more, for it runs down the
neck, the cheeks, and into the ears
The process gives somewhat the appear
ance of head modelled in wax with the
hair studied in masses. The palms of
the hands, fingers, and the feet and
toes, are also stained -Harpe,''s Maya

"What's IL. a Name?

He sat in the hammock, doing moth
ing in particular. He had a stick Of
red-and-white candy in his hand, but
was not eating it, for the simple reason
that he had already eaten so much sweet
stuff as to be conscious of an uncomfort-
able feeling in the region of his stom-
ach, but he did not like to put the
candy out of his sight. A side door,
belonging to the house near at hand,
opened, and a womans voice was
heard,-
"Wait, run and see if there are any
eggs in the nests"
"Yes'm," said the boy in the ham
mock. "Wait minute and I will" But
he did not stir from his place.
"Wait!" shouted the voice of his
brother from the distant bayfield,, bring
us fresh pitcher Of water, can't you?"
IF you will wait till I've hunted the
eggs for mamma, I WILL" shouted back
the boy, and sat as still as mouse, talk

Some minutes passed, and his Aunt

Then the boy in the hammock had some

looked foolish: and wished he had gone
at that first call; then he would not

to answer.

Ann, she allowed him to hold her bas-
ket of colored silks and gaze upon her
languid manipulations of the needle in
her soft spongy hands. Grandma was
awful sweet, there's no denying, but
she was slow fun compared with the

This latter little lady is addicted to
all sorts of outdoor sports, and has the
muscle of her brother and the nerves

That innocent game called croquet
was the forerunner-the John the Bap-
tist-of all later games in popular
vogue just now. It was just the thing
to insinuate itself upon our ease-loving
girls. While playing it they could
wear pretty becoming gowns, jaunty
hats, and the nattiest of boots to the
greatest advantage. Then it was a
tiirtatious amusement. All! the hearts
wrecked while triAing over balls and

TEA and COEEEE.

Tea and coffee are not foods in the
sense in which we use the word, says
Prof. Atwater in the Century. They
contain, it is true, very small guam
titles ofmaterials similar to the nutrients
of ordinary foods, but so few of these
get into the decoctions which we drink
that they are not worth taking into &C.
count. The aroma Of tea and coffee is
mainly, and the taste largely, due to mi
mute quantities of oily substances-es-
sential oils, as they are called. The
effect Of tea and coffee upon the nerves
and the brain seems to be chiefly due to
substance called caffein when it comes
from coffee and them when it comes
from tea. 1t is the same chemical COM
pound in both, and belongs to the class
called alkaloids. Like the extractives
Of meat, it has, in moderate quantities,
an invigorating effect, and may at times
aid digestion.
The expression, which long usage has
applied to tea and coffee, "The cups
that cheer but not inebriate," is true
statement of fact. Tea contains fannie
acid, or tannin, the substance which, in
the bark of trees, like oak and hem
lock, is used to tan leather. The skins
of animals contain gelatinoid substances
with which the tannin unites, giving it
the properties of leather. Tannin may
likewise unite with albuminoid sub
stances, such as occur in meats, fish, milk,
eggs, and SO on. The natural inference
is that if we take tea with albuminous
foods, the tannin will unite with them and
form indigestible compounds. The
newspaper statements we sometimes see
about tea making leatherin the stomach
are grossly exaggerated. But expert
ments imply that it may sometimes in
terfere with the digestion of some albu-
minous foods. It is said, however, not
to interfere at all with the digestion of
dry meats, such as ham and tongue.
One objection to sleeping tea for long
time is that the longer it is infused the
more fannie acid is extracted. Coffee
contains fannie acid but less than tea.

color as the vamp, even when the latter
is ornamented with patent leather
trimmings, as they often are with
charming effects.
We wish here to quietly suggest a
little moderation in these gowns, which
admit of much fantastic freaks without
injury to good taste.
A lady friend returning from Paris

Gates a high state of good spirits, good
muscle and good healthy mind and
body on the part of the crossee. These
are what the wheels are giving our
women.
For such trips plain flannel and
serge gowns "built" after the fashion
of tennis suits are now worn, and with
them are worn divided skirts or pants
similar to those worn with riding
habits, which are great protectors.
1t is an open secret, therefore of pop
ular interest, that ladies are taking to
wearing more and more those leglets
we can call by no other name than the
very masculine one-trousers.
One lady was kind enough to tell us
that she had for a year tabooed skirts
for all purposes except for part of her
dress itself With her house dresses
she wears silk tights, she says, and she
further showed us a pair of trousers
she wears on the street. They were
cut over pattern for gentlemen's
knickerbockers, which end at the knee,
where she added eight-inch founces
made of pleatings just as full as could
be pleated on to the trousers. These
pleats fall around her ankles after the
manner of skirts, and are quite as mod
est. The material used for the trousers
is the same as the dress, and substan-
TALLY lined.
She has convinced many ladies that

We give three illustrations of tennis
gowns which show as many different
fancies in these really picturesque cos

The material of each full round skirt
is fine quality of smooth flannel.
Manufacturers have made a speciality in
producing these woolens in the greatest
variety of coloring and design this sea-

find these tennis fetes great opportu-

Ne,c Fashions ia Hose.

Nesc F0SHtOHS IM Hose.
Black stockings are doomed, or so it
is said, and as for the last three or four
years it has been crime to dream of
wearing any other color, it is more than
probable that the reaction has set in,
and that every other shade than the
sober one will be patronized. At pres
ent the fashion dictates that stockings
must match the shoes, not the gown.
and even for walking purposes they are
now as often in tan color, or some COM
bination of the same, as in black. One
novelty in hose is to have the foot and
ankle of the stockings black as far up
as it is supposed to he shown even by
accident, and the rest of the leg may
be of light OF bright hue to match
the costume, which seems to me little
unnecessarily particular, for "out of
sight is out OF mind" in hose as we'll as
other things, I suppose. Sometimes
the color is vandyked down into the
black with a pretty effect, or the upper
portion for summer wear is woven like
lace, and scarlet, blue or gold lining
is placed behind, so as to CLEAN through
