Breakfast proper is served from to
8 o'clock, but the Dutch have no idea
Of breakfast, and 1t is a very inferior
meal in the hotels, at any rate, con-
sisting merely Of bread and butter,
both bad, slices Of cold meat left from
the previous nights dinner and eggs.
The chief meal of the day is ''tiftin,"
which is composed of dish peculiar
to Java-the rice table or "rys-tafel."
This is thing to wonder at. 1t COM
mences with soup plate full Of boiled
rice, which Is handed round in large
bowls and served with u wooden ladle.
From ten to twenty dishes, all put on
the table at once, are then handed
round and some Of each put into the
rice or on small plate beside the soup
plate. These dishes include fish, fowl,
meats of various kinds, curried eggs,
fried bananas, shrimp fritters, omelet
and curry, finishing up with chutneys of
all sorts served in a lal ge round dish di-
vided into many compartments. This
connection Is then mixed up and eaten
with spoon and fork. 1t is followed
by beefsteak, almost raw, and fried po-
tatoes, and this, again, is succeeded by
dessert.

Niaht Air and Consumption.

The old fallacy that night air is a
dangerous miasm it not yet dead.
Much has been said about fresh air,
outdoor life and sunshine for tubercu-
losis. Many victims have experienced
the healing power in these natural
agencies. But too often the consump-
tive, after a day in the sunshine or
in the cold, crisp winter air, retires
for nights sleep in a dark, stuffy,
alright room. Don't be afraid of
night air.
Open the bedroom to all the sun
possible during the day. The room
will then be dry though cold. Damp
ness is dangerous and more apt to oc-
cur in a closed than in a wide-open
room. Keep at least one window in
the bedroom open day and night, sum-
mer and winter. The door should shut
the chamber off from the rest of the
house. In the morning the patient
should be taken quickly into warm
room for the cold sponge bath.

Foot Prints of Alcohol.

Employers find that those addicted
to the use of alcoholic beverages are
not to be depended on. Even if they
are always at their work the charac-
ter of it suffers just in proportion to
their indulgence. Now this condition
is only sign Of disease in certain con-
trolling centers in the nervous sys-
tenn. In this simple condition, as well
as in multitude OF other diseases of
the nervous system, we may trace the
footprints of alcohol. Here We have
an explanation of the overcrowded in
sane asylums of to-day, TO say nothing
of the army of sufferers at large. Sta
tistics from France and other Euro
pean countries show that the increase
of insanity is parallel with the increase
in the consumption of alcohol per cap
tia.

lnsidious Poisons,

The poisonous effects resulting
from the use of tea and coffee are
very decidedly manifest to one who
has given thought to this question,
and has made careful observations in
relation to it. The sailow complexion,
common among women of the higher
classes who have reached middle life,
the almost universal nervousness
among American women. and many
common digestive disorders, and the
increasing prevalence of nervous or
sick headaches, afford to the expert
enced physician ample evidence of the
toxic or poisonous character OF tea,
coffee, and the allied beverages, cocoa
end chocolate. The well-known eff
feet Of these drugs in producing wake
fulnoss, banishing as IL by magic the
sensation of fatigue. affords sufficient
evidence of their poisonous character.
No one would doubt for moment the
poisonous character of drug capa-
BILE of producing irresistible drowsi-
ness in a person who Is not weary.
The power of drug to produce wake
fulness in a person strongly inclined
to sleep as the result OF fatigue, is
equally evidence of its poisonous char
acter.
