ENGLAND VS.. AMERICA.
The Extent of the coffee Habit.

When one notices the difference in
the average people of England and
America regarding their diet and
digestive abilities, some natural in
quiries come up. What does the Eng
lishman eat that gives him such good
digestion, and what is the reason for so
much dyspepsia among Americans?
Rudyard Kipling makes out 'pie
belt y through New England, and says
it's pathway is strewn with dyspeptics.
The Americans love for lard loaded
pastry is probably the cause of some
trouble, but the apparently harmless
coffee is without doubt the father OF
more stomach troubles in America
than any other item of food or drink.
Great Britain consumes about &c, 1000,
900 pounds of coffee annually, while
America disposes of something like
$50, 0OO,0 900, nearly or quite eleven
times as much.
Analytical chemistry discovers the
same poisonous alkaloids in coffee as
are found in strychnine, morphine, to-
bacco and whiskey.
These slight poisons taken daily, ac-
cumulate until the effect on the nerves
and stomach is pitiable with some
people (who are peculiarly susceptible
to poisons); the doses are continued
from day to day without knowledge of
what is so surely destroying the power
of ner ses and stomach.
1t is trial to give up coffee, but a
new beverage has made its appearance
on the market which is so like Java
coffee in its deep seal brown color, and
assuming the rich golden brown of
thick Mocha when cream is added,
that lovers of coffee who are denied its
use because of the effects, can adopt
this new food drink freely. The
change in taste is so slight that many
do not discover that any change has
been made. The new product is called
Postum, and it is asserted by the manu-
facturers, the Postum Cereal Co., Lin
tied, Battle Creek, Mich, that it con-
sists wholly aud solely of wheat and
other cereals, carefully cooked and
roasted in different ways. When the
parts are mixed or blended, a perfect
breakfast beverage, true health coffee
results, which contains the nourishing
and healthful properties of the grains
intended by nature for mans subsist-
ence.
1t is worthy the trial of any one who
has trouble with coffee, or who desires
to regulate their habits with due regard
to health and longevity.

LoAFERS.

There's many ways of loatin
Which man may always try:
He can sit in the sun on pawn stone
And watch the crowd go by;
Or with rod and line when the weathers fine
And the wind S a BLOWN fair,
On a summer day he can steal away
And go to sleep on the pier.
And some there be whose one idee,
Is to walk railroad track:
Who carry can and never wash
And roost in an old straw stack:
But beg to trace the pride of place
Way up in the frontmost rank:
To the boys who stay on stool all day
And doze through life in bank. H. M. A

GIudness Comes

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
cal ills which vanish before proper eff
.orts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
lightly directed. There is comfort in
he knowledge that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to d constipated condi-
ion of the system, which the pleasant
tamily laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
Y removes. That is why it is the only
.emedy with millions Of families, and is
Everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
Who value good health. It's beneficial
fleets are due to the fact, that it is the
me remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
Jrgans on which it acts. 1t is therefore
I'll important, in order to get its bene-
icial effects, to note when you pur-
,hase, that You have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
zig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
ltable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
md the system is regular, then laxa-
ives or other remedies are not needed.
f afflicted with any actual disease, one
nav be commended to the most sl1illful
physicians, but If in need of laxative,
hen one should have the best, and with
he well-informede everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
asedand gives most general satisfaction

A SWELL LONDON CLUB.
II is Made Too Exclusive Over There By TIN
Prince Of Wales.

LONDON, England, February p
A large number Of members OF the
Marlborough club, the swellest club Of
the metropolis, and which is almost
exclusively patronized by the Prince Q
Wales, are in revolt against the
dictatorship manifested by the herr
apparent, and who insists upon the
house committee submitting for his aP-
proval or disapproval the names OF
mem bers favored for admission.
In some cases, 1t is said, the prince
has blue-peDciled the names OF very
popular candidates; while on the other
hand, be has insisted upon the house
committee passing the names OF FRIENDS
OF his own who were obnoxious to other
mem bers of the club. 1t is now 10
tended that the next quarterly meeting
shall vote upon the names OF ap-
plicants independent of the wishes OF
the prince. The latter, however, has
large following, and the contest
therefore promises to be a decidedly
exciting one.
