DEN FOR rvRANT MAN.
One Room In the House should lie Set
Annri for Ills Ise.

Apart for Hts Use.
The claim has frequently been made
that the reason why men so often
forsake their homes for the clubs is
because of the furnishings in these es-
sentially masculine abodes are more
to their liking than their own homes,
where excess of drapery and useless
furniture prevail, and in the club
house they find the comfort that Is
lacking at home. a protester against
the oyerfurnishcd modern home with
its windows draped with three or four
kinds of hangings and conglOmera-
ton of articles everywhere makes a
plea for the setting apart in every
house of a room where the husband
and father can smoke and dream or
write or read to his hearts content
and find his den" d substitute for the
beloved club AS such a room Is more
likely TO be used in winter than in
summer, and particularly in the even
ing, the furnishings should be sub
dued and yet warm looking in color,
with a touch of scarlet to crafty the
average mans liking for red. Ac-
cording to this protester there should
be fireplace in this ideal room, and
n corner one If possible, whose cheer
full blaze will give a special charm.
To such fireplace brass andirons and
fender mirroring the dancing freight
are a fitting accompaniment. Upon
the mantcl any pretty triles may be
arranged for a man likes pretty
things when not in his way. The
chairs should he comfortable. Leath-

be sure that it is of generous proper
ton, large enough for writing upon,
for game of whist or solitaire, or
for magazines, papers and books,
whichever may be the individual taste
Of the owner of the room. A smokers
set should be near Mt hand, and a
lamp to throw u good light on book

the eyes, if needed. A footrest, paper

QUEER OCCUPATION.
Man Who Makes Money by Choosing
Hobble. for Others.

Hobbies for Others.
Talking about odd occupations"
said n New York man to a Star repor-
ter recently, there is a man in my
town with an Office near Union Square
who has built up large and lucrative
business connection by professionally
advising all sorts and conditions Of
people az to what hobby TO adopt. This
man is well informed and an excellent
judge OF human nature, and his ad-
vice Is always based as far as possible
on a pretty accurate knowledge OF his
customers temperament and occupa-
ton. And queer fact Is that several
prominent city physicians have dis
covered his worth and are sending
their brain-fagged patients to him for
hobby treatment, just as they might
advise him to go to a certain dentist
for toothache. As almost every ono
knows, there is at present n marked
fashion for hobbies OF all sorts, and TO
the person who is too busy or too lazy
70 start one for himself this hobby
merchant has become a perfect boon.
Suppose, for instance. you wish to
make collection of old books or china.
or rare coins. stamps or curios. You
simply call at his Office one day and
leave your order. The whole thing Is
conducted with the strictest confidence
and within few days or weeks you
are supplied with whatever articles
you may have chosen to collect. To
the value of the collection the hobby
merchant adds from 10 TO 25 per cent
for his services, according to the time
and difficulty he has had in procuring
any desired article or articles"

FOR COFFEE DRINKERS.
Facts About the Beverage That Are Not
GenCrnllN knOMn.

GENERALLY known.
The inhabitants of the United States
consume annually, statistics show. 750,-
100000 pounds of coffee and as there
are about 10000 600 inhabitants each Of
them has to his credit ten pounds in
the course Of the year. Notwithstand-
Ing this a wave of fear sweeps over
the country every little while and the
coffee drinkers lift up their voices and
say; Are we not harming our health
with drinking so much coffee?" The
subject has lately been discussed by
a number OF medical societies. Physi-
clans are pretty generally agreed that
the moderate consumption of coffee is
not injurious and moderate consump-
ton" they decline as one cup at break
last, one at noon and one in the eve
ming. Coffee taken plain, without eth
er cream or sugar, they say, is less
harmful than the sweetened cafe-au-
iait or milk coffee which. fermenting,
Is bad for the digestive organs. Smok-
ers are better off with coffee than
without it, as tobacco, being a narcotic,
weakens the hearts action, while cot
fee, stimulant, strengthens It, so that
the heart of the smoking coffee drink
er does not vary. as rule, from the
heart Of him who has neither the one
habit nor the other. The smoker who
does not drink coffee has usually a
weak heart. The disciples of the no
breakfast faith say that one cup OF
coffee between two cups of hot water
in the morning is better for the health
than all the breakfast cereals or health
foods advertised

to the promises and their fulfllment (Gen.

begin their new career by acts Of gratitude

mercy and power. They buiided an altar.
Preserving the forms which had been hand
ed down from the earliest times and con-
senting to the faith in which Abel died.
they carried over into the future what had
been the most precious in the old days,
those sacrifices which typified the great sac
OF every clean beast and Of every clean
fowl burnt offerings were made. That ac-
ceptable service moved the heart OF God.

should spring from those eight souls.

that the deluge, the greatest epoch OF prim-
tive time, made a turning point in tie

also extended world wide. His faith was

the distinguishing feature OF all times from
