Coffee on the Nerves.

DR.. F. Mendel, announcing in the
British Medical journal the result of
investigations into the effects of exces-
sive use Of coffee by the women of
Essen, where the workmen's wives
drink coffee from morning until night,
consuming sometimes pound or Cey-
lon coffee. containing sixty-four grains
of caffeine, in single week, says:
Nervous. muscular and circulatory
disturbances are frequent. The nerve
symptoms are characterized by feel
ing of general weakness, depression of
spirits, and aversion for labor, even in
industrious subjects, with headache
and insomnia. A strong dose Of
coffee causes the temporary disap-
pearance of all these symptoms.
The muscular symptoms consist Of
distinct muscular weakness. and tremb-
ling of the hands even during rest. The
circulatory symptoms are marked by g
small, rapid, irregular pulse, and feeble
impulse OF the apex of the heart. Pal
pitations and neaviness in the precor-
dial region are frequent. The hands
and feet feel very cold, and the COM
plexion becomes sallow. Dyspeptic
symptoms. chiefly of the nervous type,
are very common. These coffee drink
ers cannot be cured by simple Austen
ton from their iavoIite drink, with sub
stitution Of milk as a beverage. They
require rest from work, open-air eXer-
else, cold additions followed by friction,
and small doses of brandyo

Shan SuperstiJions.
From BlackWood's.

The spirits, both good and evil have
their origin in human beings, and all the
common events of life, all phases of
good or bad fortune, are regulated by
these. Both Hinduism and Buddhism
have, to a certain extent, left their
traces upon the primitive creed, and
the ceremonials of worship are natural
lv of the Buddhist type. Among the
Shans. Guadama very significantly ranks
aD the deity of mercv-an indication
that his bloodless rites came as relief
to the older human sacrifices to the
spirits. The village and family and
household spirits. rs the nearest to hand
and the most active, bulk most largely
in the minds OF the people, and exercise
very serious influence upon their or
dirary life. Malicious as monkeys,
and can only be kept in good humor by
constant coaxing," is the sentiment
which the people have regarding their
unseen Encompasses. Each house has
a part assigned to the spirits belonging
to it, good or bad.
Possession by evil spirits is common
belief, and every malady is attributed
to witchcraft or to the influence of some
evil being. When descending the Rap
ids of the Meh Ping Mr.. Hallett found
that his boatmen had to propitiate the
Pee Pa, the spirits that guard the defle,
before they could venture on the de-
scent. These jungle spirits once be-
longed to human beings who had died a
violent death and not received proper
funeral rites. All who are killed by
their agency have to join their unhal-
lowed company. They direct tigers to
the lonely traveller, decoy him into
peril in the form of some other animal,
or by initiating the human voice. More
dangerous than the Pee Pa are the Pee
Song Nang, the spirits of two dissolute
princesses, who, in the form of beautiful
enchantresses, lure young men to their
DOOM

What's in a Name
From the Washington Post.


The Post-otfice Department has for
years been endeavoring to abolish ridi-
culous or Understanding names in the
list of fourth class post-offices. In naming
new ones the most euphonious of those
proposed is supposed to be selected. In
creating a new post-office i'll Columbia
County, Pennsylvania, one Of the clerks
decided that Guava was a sufficiently
melodious name. and the Office was so
christened. Everything would doubt
less have been satisfactory had not the
mails for that place been constantly
mixed up with the numerous Genevas
scattered over the state. This became
so intolerable that the patrons of the
Office demanded a change OF name. The
request was not complied with prompt
ly, and Senator Cameron was appealed
to. He renewed it with sufficient en-
phasis to have an order issued for a
change.
The clerk was called in and asked to
make Guava something else.
THAT name sounds all right" said
the clerk, in defense of his original Sc
lection. What do you want it changed
for?"
"Well. Senator Cameron was down
here raising an awful stink about it."
Cali right" said the unabashed clerk.
"We'll call it Guano, then"

Manure and Coal Ashes.

The recent experiment as to the
value of coal ashes for sandy soil reads
very curiously to one who closely e4-
amined it. The experimenter applied
about twenty loads of coal ashes to
two acres, and afterwards, with a
light dressing of manure" secured a
good catch of clover where clover never
grew before. In this case to what
is the success due, to the ashes or the
manure? If part of the land had been
treated with only one of the applica-
tons it would have been test. AS it
is, most farmers will believe the credit
due to the manure, whose value they
know, rather than to the coal-ashes.
The potash in wood-ash is valuable tor
sandy soil, and on very light sand even
coal ashes may be beneficial in prevent
ing the soil from blowing away.
