equal menace to health. There is, es-
pecially, vigorous propaganda
against coffee. which is charged with
causing pretty nearly every Ill that
flesh is heir to. Perhaps there is q GER
tain foundatf lon for these sweeping IN
dictments of the two standard table
beverages, as there ID usually some
foundation for every new fad. Yet it
win take good deal more than mere
assertion even by food experts Of re-
nown-to convince most OF us that
coffee and tea are as harmful as alec
hol to the physical body. When we
come to consider the moral effects OF
the beverages named there can be. no
argument. Neither tea nor coffee ever
gave man deltrfum tremens, caused
him to beat his wife or turn his chill
dren into the street. Whatever may
be said of coffee, It does not drag q
man down into the gutter nor excite
him to murder. Tea does not keep q
man out all night and send him reel
ing home in the morning. Alcohol has
lately found some respectable friends
and defenders, but even its new-found
respectability does not diminish its po-
tenuality for evil. The defense made
for It, that It Is only pernicieus when
abused, is no defense at all, because
the same, thing can be sa1d Of other
articles Of food and drink that people
do not abuse. 1t Ia precisely because
alcohol tends toward its own abuse
that 1t Is dangerous and malehc. The
fact that one man can use 1t in modeH-
alton while the next man uses it to
excess only shows that men difrer In
temperament. 1t does not constitute
defense Of alcohol 1t is probable
that alcohol in some form OF another
will always be used as a stimulant
and as a beverage Humanity always
has found some kind OF q stimulant
and probably always will find one.
But no new-fangled dietary theory 10
going to alter the fact that the man
who prefers alcohol to tea or coffee is
going to encounter the possibility of
physical and moral ills that he would
avoid by sticking to the soberer bev-

A QUEER OLD STOVE.

Before the year 1850 very little was
known. of stoves, and only In few
places were they then manufactured,
for their use was luxury to be in
dulged In and enjoyed only by the
wealthy. The open fireplace was all
that was known prior to that time,
and while many of the smaller build
ings and huts were comfortably heat
ed In this fashion, and food was pre-:
pared for the table, many of the larger
buildings could never be heated to any
degree of comfort during the cold win
ter months, and the comforts enjoyed
at the present date were undreamed
Of in those primitive times.
What is probably the oldest stove in
the eastern part of the United States
is now permanent fixture in George
H. banners relic-room in Mannheim
Borough, Pennsylvania. This stove
was years ago owned by Henry Eby,
chairmaker by occupation, after
whose death it was sold to A. Bates
Grub, OF Philadelphia, whose intel,-
ton it was to present it to the Penn
kylvania Historical Society. In the
meantime he learned that Mr.. Banner
was DESTROYS Of having it for his mu-
scum, so the stove was finally pre-
scented to him, to be kept for the peo-
pie Of Mannheim for all time.
H. w. stiegel, whose name the stove
bears, was the founder Of the town,
laying it out and naming it after his
home, Mannheim, in Baden, Germany,
He was an eccentric German baron.
who was one Of the pioneers in the
iron industry in this country, and
owner of Elizabeth Furnace, which Is
located near the village of Brickerville,
Elizabeth Township, where there is a
huge cinder bank and few old, crum-
bling walls to mark the spot of the
once busy industrial establishment
The furnace turned out large num-
bers Of these stoves, and at first they
aroused a great deal of curiosity, and
people came long distances to see
them. They were large, square, box
like affairs, resting on curved scroll
legs, and weighing something like six
hundred and fifty pounds.

Temneratura OF blood.

The ordinary temperature of an
adult when thermometer Is placed
in the armpit Is 98.4 degrees, in the
mouth 99.5 degrees; the blood is about
100 degrees. Blood heat is marked on
the thermometers at 90 degrees Fab
renheit. In fevers this is much ex-
ceeded, and the heat of the patient
may rise to 105 degrees to 106 degrees,
A higher temperature than this will
generally prove fatal, unless it descend
very quickly. The highest tempera-
lures recorded have been in some
cases Of rheumatic fever, when that
Of the body rose to 100 degrees, and
even. to III degrees.

failed to show that the teamster naa
maltreated the horse as charged IN tne
complaint, but it developed that the de'
PENDANT was unusually gifted in the
use Of a fiorid and picturesque profan'
ity-a profanity that left nothing l"
be desired in the choice Of expletiVeS OF

the evidence that what the teamster
had really done was to give the noEse
