EFFECTS OF COFFEE.
A Useful Preventive Against Infectious
and Epidemic Diseases.

A Useful Preventive Against Infectious
and Epidemic Diseases.
Coffee owes it's stimulating and re-
freshing qualities to caffeine. 1t also
contains gum and sugar. fat, acids,
casein and wood fiber. Like tea, 1t
powerfully increases the respiration;
but, unlike ii, does not affect its depth.
BY its use the rate OF the pulse is in
creased and the action of the skin di-
minished. 1t lessons the amount Of
blood sent to the organs of the body,
distends the veins and contracts the
capillaries, thus preventing waste Of
tissue. 1t is mental stimulus OF u
high order, and one that is liable to
great abuse. Carried to excess, it
produces abnormal wakefulness, indi-
gestion, acidity, heartburn, tremors,
debility, irratability of temper,
trembling, irregular pulse, kind
OF intoxication ending in de-
lirium and great injury to the
spinal functions. Unfortunately, there
are many coffee tipplers who depend
upon it as drunkard upon his dram.
On the other hand, coffee Is OF sover-
eign efficacy in tiding over the nerv-
ous system in emergencies. Coffee is
also, in its place, an excellent medi-
cine. In typhoid fever its action is
frequently prompt and decisive. 1t is
indicated in the early stages before
local complications arise. Coffee dis
pels stupor and lethargy, is an antidote
for many kinds Of poison, and is valu-
able in spasmodic asthma, whooping
cough, cholera infantum, and Asiatic
cholera. 1t is also excellent as pre-
ventive against infectious and epidemic
diseases. In districts rife with malaria
and fever, the drinking OF hot coffee
before passing into the open air has
enabled persons living in such places
to escape contagion. Boston Journal
of Commerce.

Habits and Vocal Qualities OF tho Loon and
III, Mate.
The loon is not q singer, but his calls
and shouting exhibit so great varie-
ty OF vocal qualities that we must con-
sider him q member OF Natures or
chestra.
In the summer Of 1887 / spent n few
weeks on the borders Of Trout Lake,
st. Lawrence County, N. Y. This
beautiful little island-dotted lake, some
three miles long, has been inhabited
for years by three or four pair OF looms.
They lay their eggs and rear their
young. and there | found u good oppor-
tunity to study them. On one occasion
q small party OF us discovered IA nest.
When we were yet good way off the
wary sitter slid from sight into tho
water, darted along beneath our boat,
and was far into tho lake before she
came to the surface. Tho nest, sim
ply little cavity in dry muck, was on
the ruins OF an old muskrat house,
not more than eight or ten inches
above the water. There were two very
dark eggs in it-never more than two
are found in the nest OF the loon-near-
ly as large as those Of goose.
The time OF sitting, as l was In
formed, is four weeks. Wilson says OF
the looms that ''they light upon their
nests;" but careful observer, who had
