The conee-Eatine Habit.

The coffee-eating habit is on the in
crease, and it is probably the worst
that can be found, says q well-known
physician. Coffee, when boiled and
taken as a beverage, is not only unin-
furious. hut beneficial, unless taken in
very great quantity, but when eaten
as roasted is productive of train of
ills that finally result in cotnplete
physical and mental prostration. I
have had number Of cases of the
kind, and they are as difficult to cure
as those arising from the opium habit.
The trouble is more prevalent among
young girls than any one elese. They
eat parched coffee without any definite
object, just as they eat soapstone
slate pencils, with much more disas-
trous results. The coffee-eater be-
comes weak and emaciated, the COM
plexion is muddy and sallow, the appe-
tite poor, digestion ruined and nerves
oil unstrung. Coffee will give few
minutes Of exhileration, followed with
great weakness. The victims nearly
die when deprived of the accustomed
Observation-Disclosures Star.

skunk OIL.

An Iowa expert gives the following
Information concerning the origin Of
skunk oil: "As I live in a district
where the skunk Is only too well
known, perhaps I may be able to
answer your correspondents question
about the origin Of skunk oil, COM
monty sold in the drug stores around
us as remedy for rheumatism.
Skunks lie In their holes during the
winter, never appearing above ground
excepting on very fine days. Before
retiring under ground they become

drowning them by filling up their holes
with water, they are dug out without
producing any offensive odor. The
stink bag is removed, the skin is Sc

and treated just as the fat of hog is
treated in making lard. The pre-
paration of skunk oil is a profitable in

rain and then the winds blew and the
snow filled the air, while the tempera-
ture rapidly fell. The trains were
interrupted two days without train
and only Yesterday did they get back
to schedule time. The storm was
quite extensive and the telegraph re-
ports it as far south as Missouri.
The snow was not as plentiful as in
the Thanksgiving storm but packed
very hard so that teams readily walk
ed over drifts without breaking
through. The highways however,
partly owing to the sleet. making a
smooth surface. were blown free and
the roads were not at all bad immedi-
ately after the storm.

Pleasant Hours at Presbyterian and
Baptist Churches.

Though the night was stormy, and 1t was
dreary and dark outside, the lecture
room Of the Gracs-Street Presbyterian
church was cosey and CHEEKY and
bright. Those who braved the rain were
well repaid. This was the occasion on
which the church and congregation and
people OF the city welcomed DR.. Jere
Witherspoon to the pastorate and city.
The effort to meet the reverend gentle
man proved not only successful, but
very pleasant. Mr.. b. c. Wherry well
coined the pastor in behalf Of the church,
and Rev. Charles r. Hyde on part OF
the denomination. In these pleasant ad-
dresses DR.. Witherspoon responded most
happily. After the speech-making a so
cial meeting was held, and refreshments
were served. A notable and pleasing fact
was that the whole Presbyterian minis
try was present, and there were ministers
of other denominations present also.
A pleasant meeting was held at the
Second Baptist church yesterday after
noon. II was a meeting of Dr. w. r..
l.. Smith, the pastor, and the children
of tho Sunday school. Many of the little
folks were present, and DR.. Smith shook
hands and chatted with them all.

A STRANGER IN NEW YORK.
Uoyfs New Piece Takes Well on
It's First Production Here.

Hoytish, to an eminently conspicuous
degree, and consequently exceedingly
clever and entertaining, is the noted
farce-makers latest creation, "a Stranger
in New York." which was seen in this
city at the Academy of Music, for the
first time last night.
in this newest Of the Hoyt productions
may be seen two Of the most ingeniously-
conceived climaxes his fertile brain has
yet developed. The finish OF the first
and second acts-the scene OF the former
being in the reception-room of the Hoff-
man-House, and the latter in an apart
ment in Madison-Square Garden-may
best be described as indescribably funny.
The predicsments into which i. Collier
Down, who goes to the metropolis to at
tend the French ball, leaving at home in
Chicago suspecting wife, who follows
him, form the story which brings forth
the usual variegated display of bright
music. songs. dances, and diyertisse-
ments.
Mr. Joseph Coyne, a farceur of uncom-
mon talent, Harry Rogers, who likewise
makes fun with great JUNCTION; Miss Char
lotte Crane. of most pleasing voice and
many charms; Miss Minnie Rogers, who
gives a delightful performance, and Miss
Mae Crossley, who plays the part of
female spy, take the principal characters
of the piece and produce from them en-
tirely satisfactory results. The speciai-
ties are all clever.
The entire company is up TO the high
standard. so long maintained by Hoyt &
Mckee. Matinee and evening perform
ances will be given to-day.
Miss Eugenie Blair and her company
comes TO the Academy tomorrow evening
for an engagement Of three performances.
