Considerable speculation has here tofore attended the precise location of tho soul, but, according to the Elec- trical World, the mystery is now solved. Dr. A. II. Stevens, of Phila- delphia, has located it in the corpus calosum, little spongy body situated at the base of the brain, which has defed the efforts of physicians Tn their endeavors to ascertain it's uses in the human anatomy. "The corpus callo- sum, says the doctor, lis the seat of the imperishable mind, and is the great reservoir and storehouse oi elee- trioity, which IS abstracted from the blooi in the arteries, and conveyed through the nerves up the spinal cord to the corpus callosum.' m.'

EOgus Coffee.
(New York World.)


 Ninety-six million pounds of bogus coffee are selu n the United States every year, and some estimates place it at 120000000 pounds, Taking the lowest figures, S25,0O0, 900 are received for substances which can be protitably placed on the market at cents a pound. The manufacturers, there fore, receive $6,000,U00 for their goods, whlle retailers gain a profit of $l9,- 100000. There are two kinds of bogus coffee, an imitation bean and ground artcle. The bean is the most ditiicult to produce, and 1t is only re- gently that actual success in this direction has been attained. Bogus coffee beans have only slight resem- blance to the natural berry, fer though they possess proper form the cicatrice on the inner face Is too smooth. Then again the gray color of tue raw bean Is not quite up to tue mark, but when these manufactured beans are roasted with [ per cent. of genuine coffee they find ready sale. These bogus beans can be made at cost of $50 per 1,000 pounds, and when mixed with 60 pounds of pure coffee the whole 1,05O pounds cost $3150, or 3a cents per pound, so that profit of nearly 100 l per cent. Is the result. There are any number of "ccfee substitutes, the Hills variety being the most success ful. This company is already manu- featuring 10000 pounds per week, It being sold by the barrel to retailers m nearly all of the New England, Mid de and Western States The profits of thIs concern are supposed to be $500 per day and it's operations have reached such a scale that the stock holders were recently offered nearly S1 100000 tor their secret and busi. ness, but it was declined. No one ac- customed to drinking good coffee would imagine that a deeoctlon oi this stuff was like either Mocha or Rio, but when mixed with four time. ! its bulk of genuine ground coffee enly an expert could detect the imposition

JUDGE NOT.

Judge not; the workings of his brain
And of his heart thou canst not see;
What looks to thy dim eyes stain.
In Gods pure light may only be
A scar, brought from some well-wOn field.
Where thou wouldst only faint and yield.
The look, the air that frets thy sight
May be a token that below
The soul has closed in deadly fight
With some Internal, fiery foe.
Whose glance would scorch thy smiling grace,
And cast thee shuddering on thy face.
The fall thou darest to despse-
Maybe the angels slackened hand
Has suffered it, that he may rise
And take firmer, surer stand;
Or, trusting less to earthly things.
May henceforth learn to use his wings
And Judge none lost; but wait and see
With hopeful pity. not disdan;
The depth of the abyss may be
The measure of the hight of pain
And love and glory that may raise
This soul to God in after days!

Bill Nye on Steam Radiators.

Bill Nye, writing from Canadian hotel,
says: Here in my room had the style of
steam radiators which does everything but

them in your experience. The steam never

but know it had been once for the carpet
around it was wet and black and had a
primary school flavor to it, which showed
that at some time steam had been in it, but
now it did nothing but go off occasionally
like an alarm clock when you were thinking
of something else. Early in the morning.

If the object of the prison is to influence
men for good, then its power for good must
be increased, and the quickest and the best
way to accomplish this is to have a graded
system of education suitable for all classes
so that all will have the opportunity to add
to what they already possess. 1t makes no
difference what system of labor is followed
in the prison, no decided improvement will
ever be made on the prisoners until material
and mental education is given its proper
place as the most important adjunct to the

Sentiment Versus Justice.

An eminent lawyer not long ago was de-
Tending man charged with the crime of
murder. AS he was entering the court
house on the morning he was to address
the jury on behalf of his client, he looked
up and beheld on the dome of the building,
far away and above every spire and steeple,
the stately form of figure representing
Justice. In her left hand she held scale
to denote that equal justice would be for
ever administered beneath her guiding
care. Her eyes were bandaged to show that
in the administration of the law she knew
no influences, recognized no man; and in
her right hand she held sword to let all
whom it concerned know that the law in all
its pristine splendor would be administered
at the bar of public justice equally to all.
even to the death. During the course of
his remarks the learned counsel referred to
the figure upon which his eyes rested as he
how often has this representation of justice

how often?

every inmate OF this institution and obtain
from each the true unvarniShed facts of
their individual cases and L venture to say
that fully one e-fOurth of them would never
have worn cOnvict's garb if they had got
but fair play at their trials. How often
does it occur that man having a quarrel
with another ncOnsiderately OF the conse-
quenceS, draws revolver in self defense;
in the scuff1e which invariably ensues an
other man. or l will say, the promoter of
the quarrel himself and the would be Grim

morning the public press assumes control
of the matter. they give the so-called par
ticulars of the affair. without in the major
ity of instances paying the slightest respect
to truth; in glarng and sensational head
lines they brand the accused as blood
thirsty murderer, and accuse him of being
guilty or accessory thereto of crimes in
which there is not an atom of truth, they
drag his past record into the mire of their

Even the judges of the land are not entirely

Prohibiting Drunkenness.

Our attention was attracted by the shad-
Owy principles of Carlos" arguments on
temperance in late issue of our paper. He
tells us that prohibition and closing the sa-
looms will not stop drunkenness; and be-
cause in Iowa, he obtained and drank
'Sticks' veneered with soda water; this
does away with prOhibitiOnal preventive.
proves that he must have either been in
league with rascally dealers in ardents, or
his appetite was very strong for ''sticks."
But. did he get drunk? Did he see crowds,
aye! single person carOusng in drunken
ness about saloons or streets? No. Why?
Not because they drank sodawater seasoned
with ''stcks," but because closing the sa-
looms by prohibition in Iowa HAS prevented
drunkenness, and depOpulated the criminal
institutions of the state. He further says
the idea of doing away with all the saloons
in the country is not to be thought of; and
asks, why should the majority suffer for the
minority? Will he inform us why he drank
sodawater in order to get the stick" if the
saloons were not all closed? And was the
''stick" strong enough to produce intoxica-
ton? Also, did he find liquor saloon in
Iowa? No. then prohibition closed those
dens of immoral distraction and ruin.
And who were the suffering majority?
Was it the thriving communities, the noble
abstaining fathers. the happy wives and
children of a prOhibitOnal commonwealth;
or was it the suffering multitudes in poverty,
and inebriaJe patrons of saloons? Was it
those that had escaped disgrace and prisons
by the closing of every saloon, and prevent

beverage? which is the greatest blessing
to the people ever bestowed by state or ma
ton? No; none of these were the suffering
majority. then it must be the salOOnkeepers
whom he says are much maligned class
and do not ask you in to get drink. This
is SO extremely fallaciOuS we pass it by.
What is the general character of these
men, that entice with every manner of art
full attraction. to induce the unwary to cul.
tivate the runOuS habit of drinking their
pOisOns? They rob the poor of the necessi
ties of life; starve innocent mothers and
children, destroy the physica! and mental
powers of adults and minors alike; sowing
and cutivating seeds Of destruction, lead
ing their victims on. on to prison and hell,
dragging others with them.
He asserts that trouble causes the maj Or
ity to drink. If this be true, the whole hui
man race would be drunkards? But it is
not so, and drinking always makes trouble

He will not pretend to give remedy for
the curse of drunkenness. The cause and
effect are already set forth in these state
ments of facts. i. e. closing the saloons. and
general prohibition is the only right remedy;

Business Mems Writing Desks.

Every man knows how dear to h..
heart is that pet abomination of women
the desk litter. Every man protests if it
be disturbed, and declares with en-
phasis that he can always find what he
is looking for if his desk or table be let
alone, while the sight of it to women
creates an intense desire to clear it up.
The desks of some men are curiosities in
this regard, and there is probably none
in town to compare with that of Francis
B. Thurber.
The double desk used by Fl. K. Thur
Der and his brother dates back nearly
fifty years. 1t stands on four turned
legs, has q sloping writing board and
two small cases Of pigeon holes, one al
each side. F. B. Thurber's share of it is
piled with papers clear across the por-
tion on which the owner is supposed to
write.
AS result that owner writes on pad
placed on his knees, and it is excessively
funny to see him rise slightly in his
chair in order that he may reach over
the barricade he has erected and dip his
pen into the ink. Mr.. Thurber must
have marvellous memory to be able to
find anything in the pile before him.

Significance in Mourning Colors,

In some portions of the world yellow
and red are the mourning colors; the
Orientals generally adopt blue and white,
the Persians wearing deep indigo, and
the Chinese somewhat dingy, yellow
ish white. Pure white was at one time
worn by royal widows in France, but it
afterward fell into disuse. Purple is
the mourning color relegated to the
church. just at what period black be-
came the fashionable insignia of woe il
is difficult to determine, but for several
centuries past it has been generally &C
cepted as such by civilized nations all
over the globe.
Among Christians it would appear q
somewhat dubious tribute from the living
to the dead, as black is suggestive of chaos
and annihilation, while the white and
blue of pagan lands signify light, hope
and the promise of an existence beyond
the grave.-Jenness-M Miller Magazine.

A Cute Humming Bird,

The family of John N. Isbell, at their
home on the Madison shore, have discov-
cred queer way to capture humming
birds alive. Recently small humming
bird which had frequented the flowers
on the veranda was observed teaching
two of its young to sip honey from the
buds. The old bird, as well as the little
ones, was quite tame, but the latter were
evidently unskilled in the art of extract
ing honey. Their efforts resulted in
running many Of the tender flowers.
One of the ladies on the porch tossed
a cap at the young intruders, as if to
warn them that they must take more
pains with their work or else seek flow
ers elsewhere. The old bird immedi-
ately resented this insult by falling
seemingly in q faint or trance. In this
condition she permitted herself to be
captured and inspected, but it was OBJ
served that one eye was always open to
take in the situation. Luckily for the
mother bird her captors soon released
her, placing her uninjured on the floor.
After waiting till all was quiet, the old
bird came to life and took wing to rejoin
her young, who were still engaged in
their abortive assaults on the flowers.
This story is vouched for by the mem
bers of the family.-New Haven Pal
