4 New Beverage.

Kaffee. thee or coffee tea, is the name
of a new beverage prepared from the
roasted leaves of the coffee tree. Ac-
cording to a late report of Gehe, the
Malays prefer this tea TO coffee, as it is
suppose to contain more of the bitter
principle and to be more nutritious. The
decoction looks like coffee, smells like
tea, and tastes like mixture-of both. AS
the leaves contain 0.5 to or per cent. Of
caffeine, this new product may become
important us an article of food as well as
the source of caffeine. --New York market

Women in Literature.

Louisa NJ. Alcott says: 'It is wise for
women who have made place for them
selves in literature and journalism, to cul-
tivate not only their intellectual facul-
ties, but practical ones also, and to un-
derstand the business affairs of their
craft. The ignorance and helplessness
of women writer's is anna ling The brains
that can earn money can understand how
to take care of it, by proper knowledge
of contracts, copyrights and duties Of

A Noble Work Carried on by Women.

There is, according to Lady Grey, no
part of the British Empire where Gir.s'
Friendly Society may not be found. In
Egnland alone there arc 80, 900 members
of such societies spripgng from CEN
tral institution, OF which Lady Grey is
the President, and which is carried on
entirely by women. Temporary lodg-
ings are provided for girls suddenly
thrown out of situations, and recreation
rooms are established for members set
tied in towns. In days when, to the
credit of the society, the welfare of
women, and especially the care of friend
less girls, are objects of an increasing
concern of conscience, facts like these
deserve to be made widely known,
whether they relate to this particular
institution or others founded with SINH
lar designs. Girls homes and girls
friendly societies, a contemporary thinks,
might with advantage keep themselves
permanently before the public eye by
bold advertisement, especially in the
railway carriages and other public con-
veyances. waiting-rooms, the "wanted"
columns newspapers, and in all other
places where the persons for whom the
kindly aid is intended may learn that it
is at hand when desired. Chicago Times.
DressmakinS as Fine Art,
am sorry to see that Mr.. Fawcett
deprecates the engagement of ladies of
education as dressmakers and milliners
and speaks of it as being detrimental to
those who have fewer educational ad-
vantages. I myself would like to see
dressmaking regarded not merely as q
learned profession but as fine art. To
construct costume that will be at once
rational and beautiful requires an accu-
rate knowledge of the principles of pro-
portion, thorough sense of color and
quick appreciation of the proper use of
materials and the proper qualities of pat
tern and designs. The health of nation
depends very largely on its mode of
dress; the artistic feeling of q nation
should find expression in its costume
quite as much as in its architecture, and
Just as the upholstering tradesman has
to give place to the decorative artist, so
the ordinary milliner, with her lack of
taste and her lack of knowledge, her
foolish fashions and her lack uf inven-
tions, will have to make way for the
scientific and artistic dress designer. In
deed, so far from it being wise to dis
courage women of education from TAX
ing up the profession of dressmakers, it
is exactly women of that class who are
needed, and am glad to see in the new
technical college for women at Bedford
millinery and dressmaking are to be
taught as part of the ordinary curricu-
lum. There has also been a Society of
Lady Dressmakers started in London for
the purpose of teaching educated girls
and women, and the Scientific Dress As
-seciation is, I hear, doing very good
work in the same direction.

AN RESTRICTIVE STORY.

A man came to a dervish and said;
81 will lay before you three religious
questions to which you will not easi-
Iy find an ansMer. The first is-you
say God Is everywhere, but l see
him nowhere. The second is, you
ay the power belongs to God and
all that is done is done through HIM;
if so, how can man be made respon-
sible for his deeds? The third is,
you say Satan is made of fire, and
that hell is made of fire. What pun
ishment is it, then, for Satan if he IS
put into hell, as fire cannot harm
fire?" The dervlsh without a mo-
ment's hesitation took his heavy
pitcher and threw it at the question:
er's head. The man uttered lament
ingly "Ya Allah!'' and went before
the Kadi with his bleeding head.
The dervish was summoned and the
judge asked In reproach whether
this was the way pious man should
treat one coming to inquire about
religious matters. The dervish re-
piled. "Why, my pitcher was the
strict answer to his three questions.
He doubted Gods existence because
he saw Him nowhere. AS soon as he
felt my pitcher on his head, he shout
ed va Allah., as a proof that he had
found out where Allah Is. His Sec
ond doubt was about mans respon-
sibiIlty for his actions. Now, when
my pitcher made his head bleed he
reflected for moment and summon
ed me before the Kadi, and by doing
so he showed very conclusIvely his
belief that every mBn is responsible
for his deeds. And in the same
way" he said, 81 settled nicely his
third doubt about Satan and the hell.
My pitcher is of clay and he as
mortal man is of clay, If clay can
harm clay, why should not fire be
able to harm fire - The man for
got his bleeding head on account of
the good instruction he had received.

HAWTHORNE on fMMORTALITY.

Nathaniel Hawthorne in his ac-
count of his mothers death gives pa
thetic utterance to his belief in the
immortality of the soul. "For a
long time l knelt there holding her
hand" he writes, "and surely it was
the darkest hour L ever lived.
Afterward l stood by the open win
dew and looked through crevice of
the curtain. The shouts, laughter,
and cries Of the two children had
come up into the chamber from the
open air, making strange contrast
with the death scene. And now,
through the crevice of the curtain, i
saw my little Una of the golden locks,
looking very beautiful, and so full
of spirit and life that sue was life
its9lf. And then L looked at my
poor dying mother, and seemed to
see the whole of human exlstance at
once, standing IN the dusty midst of
it. Oh, what mockery If what l
saw were all-let the interval of hui
man existence be filled with what
happiness it might But God would
not have the close so dark and
wretched if there were nothing be-
yond for then 1t would have been
a fiend that created us and measured
out our existence, and not God. 1t
would be something beyond wrong,
it would be insult, TO be thrust out
of life and annihilated in this miser-
able way. SO out of the very bitter
ness of death gather the sweet as
suranca of hotter state of being.n

Destruction Wrought by In
sEcts IN America.

The annual loss to productive in
dustries in the Uni,ed States caused
by insects is estimated at $3.50, ,000,-
600. Here Is a fair battle between
man and another sort of earth occu-
piers. They are smaller, but they
can whip Us, have undoubtedly as
good a right to the world as we have.
As civilization advances, new insects
make their appearance, marching
sometimes eastward, but generally
westward. There are few, If any,
forms of vegetation that have no
parasites that devour either foliage
or fruit. The loss to the cotton
crop is estimated at Sl5,0C0.O00 a
year, while that To the apple crop is
not much less, and that To the po-
tato crop at least oEe-half as much.
But the estimate is not a fair one
until into the loss is counted, the

proportion that is ved.-Rurat

NUMBER 2l.
Welfare Of the Laborirg Man.

Those who read the schedule of
the rates of duty which the Joint
convention Of wool growers and wool
manufacturers asked congress TO i'm
pose On the woolen clothing of the
people of the United States must
have noticed that the keen interest
which these gentlemen claim to have
for the welfare of the poor people of
the United States IS slngularly
brought out in the tax charges which
they propose. 1t hardly needs be
argued that the higher the cost of
WOODEN fabric, the smaller will be
the quantity of that article which is
purchased by those of humble means.
That is to say, high-priced fabrics
will ordinarily be purchased by the
wealthy, and low-priced fabrics by
those of limited income. Now, the
proposition of the ways and means
committee is an imposition of an ad
valorem duty, so that each article
will pay in absolute proportion to its
value; if it is low priced, the pay
ment will be low tax if it is high
priced, the payment will be a high
tax. But the wool growers and WOOL
eli manufacturers proposed an en-
tlrely different system of taxation, as
may be seen by the schedule referr-
ed to. The following is an illustra-
ton: Balmorals valued at not ex-
ceeding 60 cents pound were to
have tax imposed upon them of
III per cent. ad valorem; if valued
at over 60 cents pound the tax was
tc be 80 per cent. Blankets valued
at not exceeding 60 cents per pound,
123 per cent. ad valorem tax; val
ued at over 60 cents, SO per cent.
tax. Administer and other exceed
ingly high priced carpets, Y per
cent. ad valorem; but druggets and
other low priced floor coverings, 12S
per cent. Cloth valued at not ex-
ceeding so cents per pound, 126 per
cent. valued at above so cents per
pound, 81 per cent. Women's dress
goods, valued at not exceeding 20
cents per yard, l02 per cent. valued
at above 20 cents per yard, II per
cent. Flannels valued at not ex-
ceedlng 60 cents per pound, 121 per
cent. valued at above 60 cents per
pound, 10S per cent, Knit goods
valued at not exceeding GO cents per
pound, 125 per cent. valued at
above 60 cents per pound, SO per
cent. Wooien shawls valued at not
exceeding 80 cents per pound, 126
per cent. valued at above so cents
per pound, 81 per cent. 1t will be
seen fIom the above that the sched-
ule prepared by this convention of
interested gentlemen was so arrang-
ed that the burden of taxation fell
upon the users of cheap fabrics,
while those who were well enough off
to purchase high-priced materials
were to pay considerable reduced
percentage of taxation. And yet we
are told by our protectionist friends
that they have nothing so much at
heart as the welfare of the Iaboring
Herald.

An Omission That is a Crime.

Even anti-saloon Republicans
must now realize the hopelessness of
securing temperance reform through
their party. Mr.. Griffin and his fol-
lowers have labored persistently and
faithfully. only to be put off again
and again by their party leaders. If
''hope deferred maketh the heart
SICK" they must be sick indeed now.
With what heart or face can they
take another step III the agitation
of their reform when their only re-
ward from the great old party is ut
ter obliviousness in its platform to
the greatest-the only really great
moral and material issues now
stirring the hearts of Americans
How can antl-saloonists remain a
day longer in party that dares to
presumptuously ignore the prlnci-
pal that is so dear to their hearts?
How can Christians remain in, and
give their adherence TO a party that
dares to be silent on the curse of the
liquor traffic, when the country is
being desoIated by its ravages, when
the cry for help Is heard on every
hand, and the voice Of God is thun-
dering in his word, "No drunkard
shall inherit the kingdom of heav-
emp
In the presence of these charges
the Republican party Is without ex-
cuse. Within its own ranks the
question has been strongly agitated,
and Christian voters have been per-
suaded to remain true to the party
by pledges of temperance legisla-
ton. At its Chicago convention,
fraternal delegates were present,
either IN person or by letter, from
Christian organizations, pleading for
a plank in their platform condemna-
tory of the liquor traffic, and pledg-
ing itself to temperance legislation.
In the face of all their pledges, these
influences and appeals, in the face
of multitudes of suffering women
and children, and vast unnumbered
army Of men pushing on in despera-
tion to drunkards' graves. In the
face of mothers and orphans tears
and prayers, this party deliberately
decides against the principle of pro-
hibition, against the best and high
est interests of this country, against
the convictions of the Christian men
and women within its ranks, and
turns to the saloon and the slums
for its votes and its friends. So let
it be. But in the light of all these
things, the omission in its platform
of any reference to the question of
prohibition is of such gravity that it
becomes a crime.
We have not been among those
who have in season and out of sea-
son attacked the Republican party;
we have contelted ourselves with an
advocacy of the principle of prohi-
bition and the necessity for a third
party. But we do not hesitate to
declare at this time that as a party 1t
is guilty of suppresslng the truth
and pandcring to the most dangerous
element in our country, and its
crime deserves condemnation, ani
itself Ignominious death.-Chy3st5G9

Mutton is the Best Meat.

We extract the following from a
series Of interesting articles publish
ed by the american Public HeahH
dissertation;
Mutton is more easily digested
than beef, though IN healthy man
no marked difference would be OBJ
served, since in the stomach of such
a man there arises no Inconvenience
from the digestion of beef. Howev-
er, mutton will be found to tax the
stomach of the dyspeptic less than
beef does, and mutton broth is both
acceptable and valuable to a person
suffering from dysentery or kindred
affections of the bowels. But NUT
ton Is not so nutritious as beef. In
dressing a mutton the woolly coat
should not he allowed to touch the
flesh. There is quite q pcrceptible
difference in the flavor of the mutton
taken from tiatteDed wethcr, which
has for some time been deprived of
all excess in his woolly coat, and Of
that taken from a sheep which has q
heavy fleece. The smallest proper
tIon of both fat and bone to muscle
is found in the leg; consequently
this Is the most valuable part of the
animal. Lamb is not nearly so nu-
trItious as mutton. The tissue is
soft, gelatinous and rich in water.
1t is used principally on account of
its delicacy of flavor, which, howev-
er, is very variable, depending upon
the breed and nourishment. Lamb
should not he selected for those
whose digestive organs are weak.
