Tea, Coffee and Nerves.

Everybody in England drinks tea;
morning noon and night, and nervous
diseases are consequently on the in
crease there. in this country we drink
more coffee than the English do, with
plenty of tea besides; and nervous dis
eases are on the increase here, too.
Both these universal beverages are bad.
They break down the health of habit
uating people to the effects of the poi
sonous principles they contain. The
recent Introduction of Grain-O, the new
food-drink. designed to take the place
of coffee land why not tea0 is the be-
ginning of a needed reform. Grain-O
is made from pure grains, is harmless,
nutritious, palatable, good for young
and old, and one-fourth the cost of cof-
fee. Try it aud you will drink no more
coffee, and have better rest and sound
er health as rewards. Packages 15c.

Beleium,s Queer Plea.

Belgium's government, which owns all
the railroads in the kingdom has put for
ward a curious defense for resisting the
claim for damages brought by the widow
and orphan children of merchant of the
name of Lesaffre who was killed in an
accident caused by a train running off
the line near Bruges. The state argues
that if the suit is based on the transport
contract constituted by the railroad tick
ct, the heirs of the deceased have no
right to any other indemnity than that
arising from ''the non-arrival Of the mer-
chandise at destinatiOn;' secondly, that
NJ. Lesaffre, having been killed on the
spot was unable to will to his heigs an
action for damages on account of suffer-
ing endured; thirdly, that the heirs must
explain the cause of the accident and
prove satisfactorily where the state was
at fault

The Wrong Cue.

A man Of distinction who came to the
postal congress, says the Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Record, is
Chang Yen Hoon, who was minister
plenipotentiary from China during the
Harrison administration. At that time
the legation was in Stewart castle, and
many and elaborate dinners were given
to the denizens of the republic by the
then Chinese minister, who, however
kept the women of his household well
in the background.
At his first large reception the minis
ter was coached by one of his American
friends rs to the etiquette of the occa.
sion. He was told that the guests in
passing out would ali say they had had
very enjoyable evening, and he must
say: Il am very glad"
1t went very well until a tipsy official
came along and varied the order by say

Chance for Revenge.

When Wagner published his ''Rienzi'
he sent copy to Offenbach, with a re-
quest that he would say what he thought
Of II. Offenbach had previously read
some of Wagner's poems and had made
fun of them. After some three weeks
the score of "Rienzi'' was returned to its
composer with a slip, on which was writ
ten: Dear Wagner, your music is trush;
stick to poetry" This, of course, enraged
Wagner greatly, and some months later
brochures denouncing the Jews. 1t was a
fine opportunity for revenge-Offenbach
being an Israelite-and the brochure was
in the hands of Offenbach in no time.
Two days elapsed and Wagner had the
pamphlet back. When he opened it, this
is what he found written on the front
page: Dear Wagner, your brochure is
rot; stick to music"

Sir Wemyss Reid gives some interest
ing "reminiscences of John Bright in Cas-

er often sat in an old-fashioned arm
chair in the Reform club. He delighted
in talk. and was fond of repeating po-
etry. On one occasion he began to talk
to Sir Wemyss about his favorite
hymns, and as he warmed to his subject
he repeated some of them. It was a
strange subject, perhaps, for a club
smoking room, but it was still stranger
to observe that, as he spoke with that
wonderful voice of his, the other men in
the room first looked up and began to
listen, and then, as though drawn by an

The Times correspondent in st. Peters
burg publishes some curious information
as to the property of the Russian imperial
family. 1t is one of the richest in the
world. Apart altogether from the civil
list, which usually amounts to tt 800 900
a year, but which may of course be in
creased by imperial order, the house of
Romanoff owns p 100000 acres in diff
ferent parts of Russia, which, under a
system laid down in the reign of the
Emperor Paul. are managed by a special
bureau called that of the Imperial Ap-
panages which is controlled by a minis
ter, who reports to the Emperor alone.
and takes no orders from the ministry of
finance. The minister of Appanages now
enjoys a revenue of more than f2,OOO,-
GOO, out of which forty-siX grand dukes
and duchesses are supported at an aver
age cost in all Of f50O,OO0, or say ILL
600 a year per prince or princess. The
remaining income is suffered to accumu-
late in order to meet the constantly in
creaSing number of members of the impe-
rial family who are by no means always
satisfied with their donations. The sums,
though large, are not derived from taxa
ton, and are probably less than those en-
joyed by the Hapsburgs, who are as a
corporation immense land owners, not to
mention the great fortunes of two or
three branches of the family, or than
those of the house of Gilman. The rev.
enue of the Hohenzollerns exceeds a mil

ish house being, among the greater SOW
