Illustrating the Fact That POliteness
Doesn't Always Pay.

They were summer men, with sashes, no
waistcoats, and all that sort Of thing
They were talking in the low, nonotonous
tones and laughing with the faded laugh
peculiar TO animals of their type. The
boat WAS crowded and they had only one
stool, which they gladly surrendered TO a
summer girl whom they knew. Then they
stood and talked with her for three-quar-
tiers Of an hour, until with the heat and
the standing they were very weary.
Finally a stool near them was vacated.
Both the summer men looked at it with
longing eyes, and each insisted that the
other take it They argued with great
cordiality. 1t was very edifying to watch
them.
Meanwhile along came a man who wore
no sash and didn't care q straw whether
any one else wanted the seat or not. He
sat down thereon, wiped his heated brow
and heaved deep sigh of conteutment.
The summer men stood; but they had
their revenge.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.
Excessive CoIoe Drinking a Cause of
Melancholy, Hysteria and Insomnia.

DR. Mendel, of Berlin, has lately pub
lished the results of clinical study of the
effect of excessive use of coffee among
women of the working population in and
about Essen. His observations are summed
up by Science as follows: He found large
numbers Of women who consumed over a
pound of coffee in a week, and some men
drank considerably more, besides beer and
wine The leading symptoms were pro-
found depression of spirits and frequent
headaches, with insomnia, A strong
dose of coffee would relieve this for a
time, then it would return. The muscles
would become weak and trembling, and
the hands would tremble when at rest. An
increasing aversion to labor and any steady
work was noticeable. The hearts action
was rapid and irregular, and palpitations
and heavy feeling IN the pracordial re
gion were present. Dyspepsia Of an ex-
treme nervous type was also present.
Acute rOsacea was common in these cases.
These symptoms constantly grow worse,
and are only relieved by large quantities of
coffee, generally OF the infusion. In some
cases the tincturs was used The vic
tins suffer so seriously that they dare not
abandon it for fear of death. Where brandy
is taken only temporary relief follows. The
face becomes sallow, and the hands and feet
cold, and an expression of dread and agony
settles over the co0ntenance, only relieved
by using strong doses of coffee. In all
these cases acute infiammations are likely
TO appear at any time. An injury of any
part of the body is the starting point for
intiammations of an erysipelatous charac-
ter. Melancholy and hysteria are present
in all cases. Coffee inehristes are more
common among the neurasthenics and are
more concealed, because the effects of ex-
cessive doses Of coffee are obscure and
largely unknown. Many opium and alco-
hohc cases have an early history of exces-
sive use of coffee, and ere always more de-
| generate and difficult to treat

Thunder Storms.


II. A Hazan tells in Science that a typi-
cal thunder storm Is first seen SIS a dense,
ragged cloud in the west, extending to a
height of over mile. The sky is entirely
clear elsewhere, except sometimes covered
by a fieecy veil of cirrus. The cloud in the
west RAPIDLY enlarges and covers the sky,
except a small portion to the east and
southeast. The motion of these clouds is
distinctly from the west, and rapid, while
the surfilce wind is from the south, and
gentle. This wind is blowing toward q
general storm situated about five hundred
miles 10 the northwest, and has no connec-
ton at ali with the thunder storm which
Is suddenly INTERCEPTED upon the quiet air.
Often there are seen two clouds in the
south saest and northwest which seem to
meet together and produce the storm, but
more OFTEN the first appearance is that of
cloud of dust borne upward about three
hundred feet and advancing with rapidity
from the west. Some of the clouds Sprin-
kle lit5le rain as the dust cloud advances,
but this IS light. When the storm is Sc
we're a loud roar is heard like the continu-
uus discharge OF electricity which produces
q steady instead of intermittent thunder.
During this time lightning flashes are
seen and distant thunder heard. In few
moments, after the dust cloud has ap-
pro2ched nearer and practically with it,
the wind suddenly whirls TO the west and
blows with great velocity fssnetilnes eighty
miles per houF). Then in a moment or
two more the lfghtning and thunder be-
come intense and rain falls in torrents.
Often the hghtring's fash is the signal
for fresh downpeur, allowing few
seconds for the fall of the rain from its
height. This phenomenon has led TO the
view, now almost universally accepted
that there Is most intimate relation of
cause and effect in this display of electric
ity and the subsequent rain. Under some
circumstanceS, but invariably in connec-
tion with this heavy ram. there fall hail
stones measured from the size of a pea TO
that of hens eggz- and 'srper.

The same effect may be obtained much
better by means of goblets more or less
flied with water. These are struck with
short rod, and emit a sound which can be
modified by pouring in 3 greater or less
quun ty Of water. If the performer is
gifted with a musical ear he can obtain by
q little arrangement a perfect gamut by
means of seven glasses which each give a
note. A piece of music may be fairly rem
dered in this manner, for the musical
glasses frequently produce a very pure,
EilYerY sound.

Preserving and Mounting of Specimen
Plants for Herbariums-How to Do 1t
Neatly.
The assistant botanist at the Ohio ex-
pertinent station, in bulletin issued from
the station, gives some timely directions
for the pressing and preserving OF plants
for herbariums.
For pressing the plants supply OF spec
linen sheets, which are simply sheets OF.
paper folded once, in which the specimens
are placed, and driers are needed. The
usual size of the specimen sheets Is 12xl6
inches, and the driers, of soft carpet paper,
should be of the same dimensions. The
press may consist Of two boards little
larger and wider than the sheets and driers.
One is utdown as foundation on which

driers: then comes a sheet, between the
folds of which are arrayed the plants, then

and so on until all the plants have been
placed in the press. On top Of this pile
