The CoGee Heart.

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 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

The Milwaukee Sentinel, in a recent

The Milwaukee Sentinel, in a recent
editorial says:>
The Republicans have triumphed;
because they have, by their conserva-
tsm, their steadfastness to high princi-
pies, and their broad policy demon
slrated that they are worthy to be
intrusted with the guidance of national
affairs
The PILoT IS a Democratic paper, but
it is first of all for the American people
1t would not support the democratic
party but for its belief that in that party
lies the only present hope of the people.
The PILOT would therefor be very glad
to believe what the Sentinel says of its
party, because that party has triumphed
as 1t says, and especially because it may
triumph again, and even again, and it
would be well for us all, therefore, if
what the Sentinel says were true.
But it would be an exceedingly diff
cult task for the Sentinel to point out,
any 'steadfsstness tic principle, or any
'broad policy" in its party for many
years past. On the contrary it would
take good deal of printing to mention
even briefly, the platform pledges ithas
violated; the plain duties" it has
failed in and the many, many great
opportunities it had to do good things
for the people, which it made no use Of
No. The Sentineps party has not
"triumphed'' because of the things
credited to ii by the Sentinel, for it has
not done those things Ithas triumphed
because. and only because, its cam
paign funds have been furnished by its
favorites, and because it has furnished
its favorites with the means of acquiring
such enormous wealth that they can
furnish it with campaign funds to an
unlimited amount, and rot feel the

AS 'his honor sat on the bench from
which even handed justice was dis

fourished way down in Florida before
the days of Greater Jacksonville, he
was amazed to note among the prison
ers at the bar ''paleface"
Casting the eagle eye of the law over

observe a billed" shirt and standing

other white man.
The marshal, being called on, explain

Repressing all signs of such a strain

The lawyer demanded the immediate

that there was no ordinance requiring

threw the court on its 'beam ends" by
asking for a copy of the ordinance

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 to their proper and legitimate
uses
Anyway, the mischief wrought by
this vicious and execra5le 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 S250,0O0 a 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.
