So extensive is aduteration Of coffee it Is
not easy To obtain the pure article, even al
though the highest prices be paid. The sub
stances commonly used in adulterution are
chicory, roasted grains, peas or beans The
principal element Of roasted chicory is sugar;
it is useful in coloring the detection. but adds
nothing to its virtues. As for the other sub
stances, although they may be harmless. con-
sidering their use from an economic point OF
view, nothing Is made in buying coffee which
contains them, even if the price of the mix
ture be much under that demanded for the
pure article This is evident when 1t is known
that not infrequcntly what passes for low
price coffee contains at least 70 per cent adul-
teration In buying coffee the pure is actu-
ally the cheapest. And in the matter Of adul.
teratiou of this important article OF food
there is "A weighty consideration beyond that
Of economy. The more good, pure coffee
there is obtaina5le the less will he the demand
for spirituous liquors, for even the veriest
topper will often choose the former in prefer
ence TO the latter. Boston Herald

An insanity specialist, in a recent CONVEX
sAtion as to the number Of young men and
women at present in asylums from the use Of
opium. morphine, cocaine and kindred mar
cotics, stated that the subject had given him
more trouble than all other forms OF insanity
combined He said that among his patients
were those whose minds mad become unbai
ancssd through drink, family affections, bust
ness losses and from other causes: but the
worst cases were those whose minds were de
stroyed through the use Of narcotics. The
number Of patients from this cause is rapidly
increasing and there have been more men
and women committed during the past six
months suffering from denentia occasioued
by drugs than there were from the same
cause during the ten previous years 1t is
beyond question that narcotics are more
prolific source OF insanity than all other
causes combined New York Telegram

a stir several years ago by prolonssL fast
of forty days, is now IA member of the COM
munity OF Faithists at Shaiam, n. NJ. In q
recent letter he lays down the broad propo-
sition that nine-tenths Of all the crime and
disease in this world is due to the human
stomach. Keep the stomach undehled with
meat, especially free from the flesh of the
swine, and there is hope that man may hive
up to his highest aspirations. This is the
doctrine which the Faithists are trying to en-
force practically in their colony, but the re-
suit thus far has not been encouraging

A brass band Of seven pieces has been engaged
for the summer and did service in the ball which
took place last night.
This is only rallying point for the settlement
destined at Mount Nebo, and in short time it is
predicted that Summit Park Hotel with it's 100
guest chambers will only meagerly accommodate
the loyal Arkansians who seek to enjoy their own
State from the very love they bear her, in prefer
ence to the mountains elsewhere, to which the
hegira of people has each summer tended. Mount
Nebo has glorious present, which is but hint of
the future.
