England Using Less Coffee.

Notwithstanding the reduction of the
duty on coffee, and the fact that the best
coffee is sold in Great Britain cheaper than
anywhere in Europe, it is steadily falling,
we read, in consumption. There arc many
theories put forward to explain this. One
Is that coffee is more adulterated here than
on the Continent. That is certainly not
the case. 1t is easier to get pure coffee
here than in France, Austria, Italy or Ger
many. The next and most common expla-
nation is that we don't know how to make
good coffee here. But that again is fall
lacy and its terms a misstatement. We
all know how to make good coffee, and
there is no one who cannot make it.-Brit-
ish Medical Journal.

Southern woman OF Georgia birth. and
was born and brought up In Ellaville,
near Americus, the Crlsps' present home.
Her life was that OF typical Southern
woman. Her father was wealthy
planter, whose plantation swarmed with
slaves, and the lap Of luxury and gold
spoons fell to Mrs. Crisps glrlhood.
When quite young she was married to
young Crisp, and the pair made home in
Americus. where they have lived ever
since. Four children came to demand
Mrs. Crisp's care and she devoted herself
to them and to her homo. One girl Is
married and lives In Americus, while the
two younger children, boy and girl. are
in school yet. A son, who was an especial
favorite OF the Speaker, died just before
the Speakership fight began in earnest.
This will probably prevent Mrs. Crisp
from feeling at all like going into society.
She Is rather domestic In her tastes. and
is also severe sufferer from rheumatism,
which prevented her last season from
even returning calls. Although her choic

Crisp has always spent her winters wit

came face to face with Pagan whom she

Mrs. Stuckenborg in Kentucky.
NC EVIDENCE OF FRAU D.
The Strange Phenomena of Louise Lateau
Sf France Repeated In This Country
viii Science BE Able TO Explain the
Mysterious Wounds?

DR.. NJ. +. Coomes, OF the Faculty Of the
Kentucky School OF Medicine. has con-
cluded his investigation OF the case or
Mrs Mary Stuckenborg. the woman who,
while apparently in a cataloptio state,
has exhibited upon her person the stig-
mata, or marks. OF the passion OF Christ.
He says that the phenomena may be due
to the woman's intense mental concentra-
ton upon the passion and death OF the
Saviour.
HOW rHK WOUNDS FIRST APPEARED.
Mrs. stuckenb borg was greatly averse to
giving any explanation OF the manifesto
tiops. She declared that she wanted
those making the investigation to be sat
isfied that she was not shamming. When
asked to tell how the wounds first ap-
peared upon her hands and feet she said
that for several days before the first hem
orrhages occurred, at the location OF the
present Wounds. there came small. red
looking spots. apparently blood blisters.
and that they continued to come nearer
nnd nearer to the surface until the first
bleeding came from them, which was on
the first Friday in juno OF the present
year These have continued regularly
every Friday from that time until this
date. All Of the wounds have not bled
svery Friday. On some few occasions one
foot or hand does not bleed.
pr. Coomes says IL has been very diff
cult 20 keep such watch over the subject
as is necessary to prevent any chance Of
fraud or to discover it. However. he has
done the best he could, and has had mat
ters so arranged that certain facts could
be settled without any possibility OF
doubt.
TWO WOMEN WATCH THE CASE.
He engaged two trustworthy women.

TO keep q constant watch over her. When

on duty and the patient fast asleep, with
hands and feet free from hemorrhage.
sat with my guards for three long
hours. waiting for the appearance OF blood
in the wounds OF the feet. Finally, about
o O'Clock, the crusts OF the wounds began
to be lifted up. and In few minutes the
white portion Of the blood (the serum) be-
slowly run down across the foot (the right

to assume pinkish color. and then a red

blood. There were but @ few drops from
this foot on this occasion. The left foot
has now commenced pouring out the
white blood or serum, which, like that
from tho right foot, soon became red and
after few drops had issued the flow
ceased.
BECOMES UNCONSCIOUS SUDDENLY.
The Investigator next devoted himself
to study of the unconscious state into
which the subject fails, and which he pro-
nounces one of the most interesting fea
lures OF the case. He says:
