The Danger of oyereatinr.

When more food is taken into the
stomach than can be appropriated for
the purpose of growth, repair and func-
tional activity, all the organs of di-
gestion, assimilation and excrction are
overtaxed to dispose of this supe:fuity.
Additional labor is put upon the kidneys,
lungs and other excretory organs, to
eliminate unused material which Las
served no end in the human economy.
And this strain long continued leads
to an impairment of vigor, and not in
frequently to chronic disorders which
puzzle the best of physicians to over
come.-Hall's Journal of Health.

A High Priced Stamn.

The highest priced postage stamp in
existence is the famous Dundee stamp,
worth $500, and not purchasable at
that price. James Chalmers, of Dundee,
was the inventor of the adhesive postage
stamp in 1884. The stamp is in the pos
session of Sigmund Friedl, an extensive
postage stamp merchant of Unter Dol
berg, Vienna. 1t was exhibited at the
Vienna Jubilee Stamp exhibition. The
postage stamp museum, held on May 25,
1891, at Vienna, displayed this gem as
the greatest attraction among 100000
stamps and other objects exhibited there.

The Flavor of Coffee.

Real coffee is very delicate sub
stance and will readily not only lose its
own flavor, but also take up the flavor
of other substances. Thus it is quite
necessary in shipping coffee to make
sure that no other odorous substance is
placed near to destroy the favor of the
coffee. The aroma is volatile. Let a
quantity of pure ground coffee be ex-
posed to the air for considerable time
and the best of the coffee will go out
into the atmosphere. The careful house
wife who wishes to make good, pure
coffee of fragrant aroma buys it in the
green bean, roasts it herself, keeps it
tightly canned after roasting and grinds
it the morning it is used. Coffee SO made
Is a totally different article Of consump-
ton from the great bulk of ground cof
fee that is sold in the stores.
Some time ago an official analysis Of
some ground coffee exposed for sale dis
closed the fact that there was absolutely
no coffee in it.-New York Sun.

The Brotherless Girl.

The girl without a brother is especially
to be pitied. She is the girl who is never
certain of getting the pleasures of life
unless she is very attractive. Of course
she has no brother who she is certain
will take her everywhere; she is apt to
get little bit vain, for she has no
brother to tell her, as only a brother
will, of her faults and mistakes. 1t is
only the somewhat doubtful tact of
brother that announces, 81 wouldn't
walk up the street with you in that
frock," and the girl whose brother says
this to her may be certain that he is only
expressing the opinion of other girls
brothers. He may not do it in the most
gentle way, but he does tell the truth,
and if you ask him why paying visit to
another girl is more desirable than to
one you know, he will sit down and look
at you, and then he will say;
"Well, you see, it is just this way.
From the time you get there she is nice
girl who gives you pleasant welcome
and yet doesn't gush over you. She is
entertaining, and yet she has fashion
of putting down nasty gossip or silly talk
among whoever is there. She is rest
full sort of girl, she is not always want
ing to do something that tires you half
to death and where the game isn't worth
the candle, and when she says goodby to
you you feel certain that she is pretty
glad you came and that she will be glad
to see you another time, but that she
doesn't look upon you as the one and
only man in the world" That is the
kind of a description that the brotherless
girl can't get. Then she doesn't hear of
men that fellow would rather not have
his sister go with. Probably the wisest
course for her to pursue is for her to
choose as her most intimate friend girl
who has a wise brother; then she can
reap the benefit of his counsel.-Ruth
Ashmore in Ladies Home Journal.

The First Walking Delegate.
It is said that Fridolin (the holy Frido-

was an Irishmau, son of an Irish King, of
whom there were 10000 reigning in Cork
1t got so that they could not make living,
there was so much competition and wages

At last Q particularly severe winter fell
upon the county, and hundreds Of them
were reduced to mendicancy, and were to
be seen day after day, in the bitterest
weather, standing barefoot in the snow, hold
ing out their crowns for aims.
Indeed, they would have been obliged to
emigrate or starve but for fortunate idea
of Prince Fridolin's, who started labor
union, the first one in history, and got the
great bulk Of them to join it He thus
won the general gratitude, and they wanted
to make him Emperor-Emperor over them
ali-Emperor of Cork county, but he said
no; walking delegate was good enough for
him. For behold, he was modest beyond
his years, and keen as a whip. To this
day, in Germany and Switzerland, where
St. Fridolin is deeply revered and honored,
the peasantry speak Of him affectionately as
the first walking delegate.
