Cocoa is the Only Proper Drink for rhoss

Illustrated News OF the World.
Tea is not food. By "food" one means
any substance which can contribute directly
to the nutrition of the BODY. Fat is food
in this sense: so is sugar, and so is starch.
Minerals-such as potash, iron, lime. and
so forth-are also foods. because they assist
in building up the natural structure Of our
frames. Again, the nitrogenous substances
-albumen and casein and gluten, and the
lIke-ars foods, because they enter inti-
mately into the composition OF the most
vital parts of animals. So that the list
have just given-nitrogenous matters, fats,
starches and sugars, and, finally, water-in-
cludes really all our necessities in the way
OF nuIriment.

things we eat are In themselves combinas

doubtedly nerve stimulants in a very direct
sense; and the reviYing effects OF a cup Of
tea are certainly due to the presence OF these
alkaloids.
Have you studied the nutrition Of mill
hands, milliners, and the great army Of
women-tolk who labor and toll in our great
centers of population? L, not, just think of
the enormous nutritive waste, and of the
terrible error in dietetics, which every day
represents, when you find the working
classes (and other classes as well) living
chiefly on tea and bread. Out of tea you can
get practically no energy or force where
with to do work. Ask any physician who
labors in dispensary practice what he knows
of the effects under-nutrition as repre-
sented by tea (used as iood), and you will
be surprised to hear of the amount Of dys-

Take away tea, and what is left then for
the working man? 1 have no difficulty in
replying-cocoa. This last is a true food.

with nitrogenous matter, and also a stimu-.

SPECULATION OVER RUINS.
Strange Story Surrounding the Discovery Of
aFortified City.

CuohSo ooo1y surrounding bQ6 discovery OF
aFortified City.
Philadelphia Record
The strange story, told on good authority,
of the ruins of great fortified city, built Of
dressed granite blocks, found on the
Mashonaland plateau, in South Africa, has
given rise to a =. great deal OF
curious speculation, for its history is
wholly unknown. Many of the walls
are completely covered by the dense jungle
and very old trees grow-on the top of tie
ruins. If the city or tort was built by ma
tives, 1t must have been in remote periods of
time. when there was higher civilization
than now; but it is just possible that the
fort was constructed under the direction of
early Portuguese explorers, and by the aid
OF cheap slave labor.
Only superficial view has been made of
the ruins, but light may be thrown on the
mystery when the houses themselves have
been explored. Light is being rapidly
turned on to the Dark Continent, and the
stories that come from 1t are as Interesting
as those sent to Europe from this country
300 to 400 years ago. Then. however, the
news was not widely disseminated. Now
every one who chooses can learn from day
to day what Is going on in Africa 90 in
other parts Of the world.

COFFEE Is A PROPHET.

The Popular Narcotic Is a Good Weather
Bureau If Understood.
st. Louis lobe-Democrat1
Coffee is an excellent barometer because it
is such good absorbent. On the eve Of a
rain storm, grinding coffee is difficult and
almost impossible. while when there Is no
danger of wet weather it is quite easy. In
establishments where boy is kept steadily
employed grinding coffee he is often asked
whether it is going to rain or not, and on
mornings OF half holidays anxious clerks
often look at and even touch ground coffee.

RELATION OF THE UNITS.

sistance.
RELATION OF THE UNITS.
And further, it has been found that the
following law, or relation, exists between
these three units. viz: The pressure in volts
Is always equal to the quantity in amperes
multiplied by the resistance in ohms, from
which, If any trio OF the above quanti-
ties are known, the third can always be
calculated. The ampere or unit oi current
is established by the amount of copper it
will deposit in copper bath (voltameter)
in given time and under given conditions.
Thus the unit ampere is that amount of cur
rent which will deposit 0.00032959 gramme
OF copper per second. The needed appar-
atus and conditions for an accurate deter
mination OF this unit Can be found in al
most any text book on the electric current
We have thus established two out OF the
three fundamental units % electricity, and
fiom the above law-called Ohm's Law-we
can easily determine the third.

Lucrezia Borgia.
A portrait of a woman in Eastnor Castle,

crezia Borgia. 1t is by Gentle Bellini,

rare that Gregorovius, in his history of this
famous woman, says he does not know of
the existence of one in Italy, unless it be
the profile on a coin. The Eastnor picture
represents her as fair woman, with reddish
golden hair. The features are long, especi-
ally the nose, exactly as In the medallion.
The eyes are light hazel and the mouth
small and pretty. On the whole, 1t is not
the likeness OF a beautiful nor even OF
pretty woman, but is not without fascina-
tion. The costume has enormous width Of

REST AS A MEDIcINE.-A physician,
writing of rest as a medicine, recommends
a short nap in the middle of the day, for
those who can take it. as beneficial ad-
dition to the nights sleep. 1t divides the
working time, gives the nervous system a
fresh hold on lite and enables one to do more
than make up for the time so occupied. A
caution is given against the indulgence in
too long a sleep at such time, under a
penalty of disagreeable relaxation. There
has been much discussion regarding the
after-dinner nap, many believing it to be
injurious, but it is, nevertheless, natural
and wholesome.
