COFFEE AND TEA.

The essential principle Of cot.
fee is the alkaloid caffeine. but
there Is also developed during
the roasting volatile oil-caf-
feone. The effects of the two on the
drinker are different in time and char.

transient than caffeine. 1t reduces the
arterial tension. and thus allows freer
flow Of blood and more rapid action
Of the heart Hence it stimulates the
brain. renders the mind clear and pro-
notes wakefulnes2
Caffeine. on the other hand. slows the
heart, and cxpends its main force on
the spinal cord. To this fact Is due the
shaking hand of the inveterate coffee
drinker-to which we may add the
marked tremor which, after q few
hours. sometimes follows q copious
draught when the stomach is empty.
But there is another effect Of tho caf.
feline: it checks the too rapid consump.
ton OF nitrogenous matter in the sys-
tenn. and thus while not nutritious in
itself. it possesses an indirect nutritive
value. This. and its mildly stimulat-
ing character. have made it the chosen
drink for breakfast. and staple sup
ply for the army and navy. Five hum
dred million pounds Of coffee were inn
ported into the United States last year.

Each also contains volatile oil Tho
difference to our taste is doubtless due
to subtle qualities which the chemist is
unable to detect While. however cof-
fee checks waste. and is virtual food.
the same thing can not be said Of tea.
the specific effect of which is to quicken
respiration and the vital functions gen.
orally.
Both these drinks arc liable to dan
gerous abuse. but those who over-in-
dulse in coffee are few compared with
those who drink tea to excess. In both
cases the injurious effect is due as much
to the volatile oil as to alkaloids. eft

patient departments of the largo hos

lief of symptoms reasonably attrib-

from excess of tea. or from some
other reason. she loses her appetite.
and gradually comes to loathe food. In
this extremity she seeks solace in the
cup. and thus increases the condition
she is already bewailing. She applies
for medical aid. and. It h needless to
say. usually scorns the suggestion TO
70 without tea.
Nor Is this abuse confined 10 the

INHERITED DISEASES.

oc3enee Casts . New Light On the Words
of the Hebrew Scripture.
In the realm of disease. the facts of in-
heiitancc are most numerous. and are
daily accumulating. Hero they are no
longer: alas. curious and amusing. but
terrible. fateful, overwhelming. No
fact OF nature is more pregnant with
awful meaning than the inheritance Of
disease. 1t meets the physician on his
daily rounds. paralyzing his art. and
filing him with sadness. The legend
Of tho ancient Greeks pictured the
malignant Furies pursuing families
from generation to generation. and
rendering them desolate. The Furies
still ply their work of terror and death;
but we have stripped them Of the garb
which superstition threw around them.
and they now appear to our eyes in the
moro Ineligible but not less awful
form Of hereditary disease. Modern
science, which has cast illumination
into 30 many dark corners Of Nature.
has shed a new and still moro lurid
light on the words of the Hebrew
Scripture: .'The sins Of the fathers
shall be visited on the children unto
the third and fourth genera
ton" Instances Of hereditary disease
abound on every hand. Fully fifty per
sent. Of cases Of gout are inherited.
The proportion is not much less in that
fell destroyer of families. our national
scourge. consumption. Cancer and
scrofula run strongly in families In
sanity is hereditary to n marked de-
gree; but fortunately. like many other
hereditary diseases tends to wear it.
self out, the stock becoming extinct.
Nearly all defects of sight are occa-
sionally inherited Sir Henry Holland
says truly that mo organ or texture
of the body is exempt from the chance
of being the subject of hereditary dis
ease" Probably most chronic dis
eases which permanently modify the
structure and functions of the body
are more or less liable to be inherited.
The important and far-reachjpe
practical deductions from such facts-
affecting SO powerfully the happinsss
of individuals and families and the col-
lcctive welfare of the natiOn-will bc
