rhe Coffee Henri

The largest part of the coffee grown
in the world is consumed in the United
States, and some of our life insurance
societies are beginning to realize how
its excessive use increases the risks of
life. Its effect is in shortening the
long beat of the heart, and medical eX-
aminers for insurance companies have
added the term coffee heart to their
regular classification of the functional
arrangements of that organ. These
physicians advise that the use of cof-
fee be limited to not more than two
cups Il day. Coffee topers, they say,
are plentiful and are as much tied to
their cups as the whisky topper. The
effect of the coffee upon the heart is
more lasting and consequently worse
than that of liquor.-Detroit Free
Press.

Stone Throwing.

A propensity to throw stones regard
less of consequences has been one of
the earliest signs of natural depravity
among men since time began and, we
fear. must continue that way until the
millennium ushers in the era when bad
boys are no more and stones are con-
fined 10 their proper and legitimate
uses.
Anyway. the mischief wrought by
this vicious and eXecrable habit looms
up into serious proportions when the
figures are given out by plate glass in
surance men showing that it costs not
less than $250,OO0 Il year to make good
the losses thus caused by reckless boys
in this country alone.
With stone throwing costing $250,000
a year, carelessness in setting fires cost
ing hundreds of millions more and
needless accidents causing immense
sacrifice of property, the good people
have many bills to foot which ought
not to be theirs.-Leslie's Weekly.
