men in New York rs % the liie-iusurance
policic. involved in the jOhns,owp disaster.
Most Of the interviewed said the companies
would be liberal ia paving all that was du'
10 the beneficiaries. one said that his cons
pany, II it had any risks thore, would be as
exactiug in requiring proof as in any other
cases. None OF them seemed fearful OF
many losses in the regular companies. But
IL wonld seem that the assessment orders,
such a. the knights Of Iiopo-. Royal Ar
csnum, &C., &c. might suffer more, the n'
sured being generally poor men, relying
wholly on such societies. The Nice-freSl-
dent Of the Metropolitan Liie.lnsurAnce
Company said:
"Thcre will not, think, be much din
Gully except in the case OF cooperative as
sessment societies. Such local oreanIi'

 "Yes, here's three kinds; take your choice"
 "How did you like the tenor that sang the solo?"
 "Oh; ever 90 much. He was such a cute little man."
 "It was awfully funny to see him tip away up on his toes every time he sang high note. He could sing with one foot just as we'll as he could with the other"

 "What part of the programme did you like the most?"

Emerson ard Hawthorne.
Exchange.


 In a review Of "Emerson In Con- cord" published in the London ALhe- n9am of June 1, occurs this pass 'ge {: "We quote from the anecdote which will best bear transcription, and that Is not 6 story Of Emerson, but of Hawthorne, in whose books, by the way, we now learn that Emerson never could read far Hawthorne, 1t appears only once volunteered to a visit to Emerson's house, and that was paid to Miss Ellen Emerson, who Unfortunately had gone to bed.' To cover his shyne he took a stereoscope on the center table and began to look at the pictures. After looking at them for time he asked where these views were taken. We told him they were pictures of the Concord court and town-houses, the common, and the mill-dam on hearing which he expressed some surprise and interest, but evidently was as unfamiliar with the center of the village where he had lived for years as a deer or wood thrush would be. He walked through 1t often on his way to the cars, but was too shy or too rapt to know what was there We may draw hence moral not always sufficiently kept in mind by historians, namely, that the fact that contemporary witnesses ig- nore things which, one would think, must have been under their noses, does not prove that those things were not actually there. The two most emil nent authors on great continent live for many years In the same dull little town; yet the magical word painter cannot recognize the village common, nor can the American scholar get through his neighbor's books"

able Is that neither the seden- tary habits of the Turks, nor the quick, energetic temperament of the Greek seems to be affected by the per- petual imbibing of this beverage. Spectacles, 1t may be remarked, are as little used in Turkey as in Greece 1; nor are complaints of the eyes more prevalent If we except ophthalmia, which is brought from Egypt and ex- ists chiefly among the unclean and dis solute lower orders. An old pasha once told us that he considered coffee to be one of the greatest blessings vouchsafed by Allah to the faithful, not only for it's grateful aroma, but from it's health-preserving qualities. He referred, of course, to the divine berry" of Mocha, and not to the ques. tionable compound served up in the "infidel" countries of the west.

Of the success of Hoods Sarsaparilla is the fact that every purchaser receives a fair equivalent for his money. The familiar headline, "1OO Doses One Dollar" stolen by imitators, is origi- nal with and true only of Hoods Sar- saparilla. This can easily be proven by any one who desires to test the matter.

The Use Of Coffee.
North American Review .

We are persuaded, from our obser- vation of many years in Greece and Turkey, that the moderate use Of pure coffee is, one might almost say, a blessing to rich and poor. Excess in it's use, or the use of it at all, except when the decoction is made from the genuine coffee berry, and properly made, is beyond any question an evil. One must live in the east for awhile or if not there, confine himself to par taking of the beverage in other coun- tries where the character of the cafe, or the house where it Is served, is a guarantee of the purity-to appreciate what & cup of coffee really means.
 It is a recognized fact that the mix ture drank by the majority of people in Europe and our own country, under the name of coffee, is vile, or, at the best, an adulterated compound of inferior berries, beans or other sub- stitutes, and that when occasionally the general coffee berry is the basis of the hot fluid served at hotels, railroad stations, restaurants, and even in pri- vate houses, it is not prepared prop erly, and more frequently than otherwise iDjures the digestion, and consequently the health of the con- stant drinker.
 In Athens, broadly speaking, every third man indulges in cigarette smok- ing and coffee drinking, and this to an extent that astonishes the stranger. It is an everyday sight, when enter ing an office or pri"otc sitting room, and not infrequently the family room, to see the tobacco box, cigarette paper and ash- box lying on the table, and the visitor is expected, without invi- tation, to help himself and light his cigarette, as preparation for, and a companion to, conversation.
 Little cups of black coffee follow, as & matter of course, however early or late the hour may be. But the Greek does not confine his attention to the coffee cup on these occasions. He often takes his first cigarette and his first cup in bed before rising, and contin- ues the practice at intervals through the entire day. It is something akin to the habit of ice water drinking in the United States, but without the subtle, injurious results that follow an habitual use of cold liquids, which chill the stomach, impair the general health and produce decayed teeth. So far as our personal observation goes, strengthened by medical testimony, the Greeks in the condition of their general health do not support the the- ory that the habitual use of coffee in- jures the system or affects the eyesight.
 The same is the case in Turkey. There coffee drinking is universal and continuous. The writer passed the greater part of four years in Constan- tinople, where he had occasion to call upon the officials of the sublime porte 30 frequently that it would be diff : cult to enumerate these official visits and with few exceptions, when the visit was protracted to any length, black coffee, pure in quality and pre- pared with the grounds, was regu- larly served in small, delicate cups. All Turks, from the highest to the lowest, indulge in the beverage, few swallows at a time, throughout the day. and without evil effects.
 What makes the fact more remark
