The deleterious effects of tea are in
some degree due to the alkaloids, which
when taken in constant or excessive doses
produce insomnia, restlessness mental
depression and general nervous derang e-
ment- Occasional small doses act as GER
ebral stimulants; poisonous doses may
produce great prostration and death.
However, the greatest injury Of tea

OF the tannin infested; what may be
called tanning Of the sensitive mucous

This leads to q loss of sensibility to
food stimuli, imperfect secretion of the
digestive elements and iusu11iciency of

in inflatulence and chronic constipation,
and ultimately in obstinate indigestion
and it's associate and consequent evil.

NO NEWS FROM NAVY.

Washington. April l4.-Gradually the
lines are Tightening around the news
centres of the navy department. Some
the bureau of navigation, issued an ORDER
for bidding any of the employees of his
bureau giving out news except on per-
mission from him. This did not interfere
with the posting of the movements of the
ships in the navigation bureau which has
been done for long time past. Today,
however. the officials of the bureau gave
notice that hereafter no more information
would be given to the public respecting
the arrival and departures OF vessels from
any of the United States or foreign ports.
This is done under explicit orders from
Secretary Long, who believes that in
times of a great public crisis, like the
present time, when tine navy is likely to
be called into active requisition, the best
interests of the government require that
no publicity shall be given to the move
ments of the ships composing it.

GOVERNOR COMING TO PORTLAND

u
Augusta, April l4.-As soon as Gov.
Powers arrived this forenoon he devoted
his attention to answering mass of war
correspondence, mostly in regard to coast
defense. One letter was from Gen. Z. W.
HYDE Of Bath, who wanted measures
taken at once for the defense of his city.
The governor will meet Gen. Hyde at
Brunswick tomorrow and discuss the
matter with him.
The communicative was also
oloseted for several hours with Adjutant
General Richards who explained in detail
what was being done. Much is heard at
the Capitol about Portland's naval
brigade and the governor will visit that
city tomorrow meeting Mr.. Clifford and
others of the brigade at tbs Congress
Square hotel to discuss what steps can be
taken to utilize it.
Application was made by the governor
to Washington for arms to arm a naval
reserve but the reply was that as there
was no such reserve in Maine January
1st, there were no weapons for them.
License to organize the Portland naval
brigade at Portland is wanted, but the
governor says he has no legal authority
and thus cannot grant it. This matter
will be discussed at the Portland meet
ing. He is willing to do all he can to
utilize the brigade.

Gen. Wey1er Forgets That 1t Is LikeIy To
Be Both.
Madrid, April IA, noon.-General Wey-
Ter, the former Captain General of Cuba,
arrived here today, apparently called by
the government. He was met at the rail
road station by General Pratt, in full
uniform and many friends, military men
and civilians. The governor Of Madrid
prohibited the demonstration which it
was proposed to make and adopted strong
precautionary measures. There was a de-
tachment of police at the station and the
police officers were stationed oven within
the entrance of the generals residence.
From the railroad station. the for mer
captain general, was driven to his home
in carriage, accompanied by Senior
Mozamena, a member Of the Chamber of
Deputies.
When questioned on the subject General
Weyler refused to say he was called to
Madrid by the government, but he added
speaking to the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press. / have indeed offered my
services to the Queen. I consider war
with America inevitable or Cuba is lost
to Spain" l believe war is preferable to
a continuation of the prolonged tension
between Washington and Madrid.

HOUSE HAD SPENT ITSELF.

Washington, April 14.-The scene in the
House when that body met today was in
strong contrast with that of yesterday.
Few members were on the floor and the
galleries were almost empty. The storm
centre had shifted to the other end of the
Capitol. and the House relapsed into the
consideration of dull routine business.
Mr. Walker, Republican of Massachu-
setts. secured consent to address the
House for thirty minutes ON matters re-
lating to the financial question. The
House then took up a bill to settle the a.
counts CT the State of Arkansas and the
United States relative to school lands.
The bill was passed after which various
minor matters were taken up under the
call of committees.
During thu afternoon bills were passed
authorizing the Secretary of the Interior
to rent to lease sites on forest reserva-
lions for hotels or sanitariums; and pro-
lection Of public railroads; to regulate
the jurisdiction Of the United States court
to confer jurisdiction upon United States
Circuit courts over suits in equity for the
partition of lands on which the United
States is a tenant il common authoriz-
ing suits against officers of the United
States to be continued against their sue
cessors in office; for the prosecution of
persons making false affidayits in pension
cases and several other uni1nportant
measures. The most important measure
passed was the Curtis bill, for the relief
of residents of the Indian Territory. 1t
provides for the settlements Of questions
involving 1895, 200 acres belonging to
the Cherokees, Chickasaws, Greeks, Choc
taws and Seminoles and now occupied by
800, 900 white and 60, 600 Indians. 1t pro-

SPRING FOOD TONES.

Delicate acid desserts or salads are es-
pecially wholesome and delicious at this
season of the year, when also every one
feels the need of this kind of diet.
Pickles are by no means so deleterlous
to the health as some would have us be-
iieve. Used in moderation, they are nee
essary to some, and the old saying, lone
mans meat is another's poison" GER
tainly applies here.
The best way of meeting tho loss of
appetite and languor so common in the
spring is with acid salads of good green
herbs and of fruits used in desserts.
Lemons are in good supply at this sea
son, and they make excellent buildings,
as well as pies. A properly prepared
lemon sauce is one of the best accompan-
imenus of an apple or q batter pudding
Valencia aud other oranges from the Med
and nothing could be better for dassert,
either with hot buildings or cold jellies.
The variety is much larger than the pop
ular choice desserts would indicate. as
about one-fourth of the peel of oranges
or lemons should be used with Juice; in
deed, orange desserts are almost tasteless
if made without grated peel Only the
reddish-skinned ones have sweet rind,
and therefore are the only ones valuable in
cookery. They are raised now in Cali
fornia as well as on the borders of the
Mediterranean. Every scrap should be
saved to be put in the dessert or to be
candied or made into orange extract.
The bitter rinds of pale. skinned oranges
which usually have the sweetest pulp,
may he used for kindling and will prove
as nseful as kerosene, though not at all
dangerous.
The straw berry pineapple is another
cheap fruit which may be advantageously
used in the spring, 1t makes delicious
hot dumping or fruit fritter, and mixed
with cocoanut or without. a good jelly or
Bavarian cream can be produced. The
juice of the pineapple has in some cases
cured obstinate cases of indigestion.
Grape fruit is also valuable tonic for
breakfast food, and is served after the
bitter skin and rind have been torn off,

represented the sentiment OF the country.
Mr.. Daniel remarked that Mr.. Gray's
words implied motives on the part of
other members Of the committee less high
than his own. Mr. Gray declared he had
no such intention.
Mr.. Gray said the American people
would not justify any war unless satisfied
that it was righteous war.

become intolerable," said Mr.. Gray, land
we can wait no longer. 1 believe the
