Porto Rieo'S Coffee Party.

Porto Rieo'S Coffee Party.
Coffee is not tea and Porto Rico is
not Boston, but there is a faint simil-
larity between the fuss which the
Porto Ricans are making about the Inn
p~ortation Of Brazilian coffee and that
the Bostonians made over the impor-
tation Of some eargoes Of tea a little
more than a century ago.. The latter
got rid Of the Objectionable tea by vio-
lent methods. The Porto Ricans have

that the former. II admitted, would
undersell the latter and deprive its

indignation meetings were held at
many places and II was resolved to
boycott every merchant who should
sell the Brazilian berry. These
threats were effective. The offensive

The letter contains much more
matter and refers to many incidents
which have been found to be-
historically correct. The words
which would tell exactly where the
reasure was buried are omitted, and
their places are taken by crosses. II

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its APP
pearance a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part OF the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma'
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
If it driven out. This s. S. S. does. and
d the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like tkis.
When all the poison has been forced out
Of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.

1t seems probable that little imagi-
nation is very much better as posses
sion than a great deal. A little is to
the daily incidents and events of life
what salt is to meat. The relish it
bestows upon them is just as good as
a pleasure. If you are in sorry
plight, you can see help coming by it's
aid, though, on the other hand, you are
not tormented by grievous relapses of
Impotence and despair upon the delay
of the arrival of such help, as you
would surely be if you were as imagi-
native as a poet. And in like manner,
when you are in the thick of prospect
ty, under it's gentle, judicious suggest
ing you are able to look ahead, foresee
the inevitable squalls which shall fol-
low such spell of fine weather and
be prepared for them. In fact, a GER

at is commonly supposed that the
men who work in the mines or those
whose occupations necessitate the
breathing of poisonous fumes and gases
are the shortest lived" said a promi-
nent physician. "This is a mistake,
and it will surprise many to learn that
the highest death rate is found among
a class who breathe in the sweetest
Odors-forists.
''The reason is simple one. The for
list lives at once in the torrid and the
frigid zone. From greenhouse atmos-
phere of nearly 100 degrees in the win
ter months he must step out into one
that is nearly always below freezing
point and often below zero. In sum-
mer he has change to encounter, too, as
In the spring and fall. By force of hab-
1t he grows careless and often works
without his coat in the hot, artificial at

well as rheumatism, find in the florist

To the vast majority of people the
scent of flowers is simply pleasure and
produces no physical or psychological
effect. But there are people so consti-
tuted that the smell of certain flowers
has peculiar effect upon them. To some
the scent of hyacinths is most objection
able, and their odor produces faintness in
others. 1t is said that Catherine de-
Medici could not endure the sight or
smell of a rose, and Cardinal Guise had
a like antipathy to the queen Of flowers.
With some the scent of the marshmal-
low flower is said to cause hysteria and
the odor of lilies tends to melancholy,
while the acrid smell Of the marigold in
duces irritability. The old idea was that
the odor of violets encouraged cheerful
ness, and rosemary and lavender are still
used by old fashioned people in the coun-
try as safeguards against infection and
''to keep the moths out" A common
form of antipathy to certain plants is the
adherence with which many people re-
gard any form Of fungi They feel a
positive shrinking from this form Of vege-
table growth and would as soon touch a
fungus as they would a snake.

Persian Prayer Rings.

About 200 years ago small embroid-
cred rugs were largely made in Per-
STA, chiefly at Ispahan. These were
prayer rugs, and on each of them near
one end was a small embroidered mark
to show where the bit of sacred earth
from Mecca was to be placed. In
obedience to law of the Koran, that
the head must be bowed to the ground
in prayer, this was touched by the
forehead when the prostration was
made and so the letter Of the law was
carried out. The custom still prevails.
The Persian women who weave the
finest prayer rugs seldom weave any
other kind Of rug.
