CHEWING COFFEE.
a Psrn!ciouo Habit That ia Liable 60
Ruin ehe Health.

Ruin ehe Health.
Physicians claim that the habit of
tobacco chewing is dying out, but
as insidious q habit has come to take
it's place. This is coffee chewing,
which is very bad thing for the
health, for it creates nervousness,
makes the skin yellow, blackens the
teeth and diminishes the appetite. r.
The habit seems to have originat-
cd IN the coffee roasting establish
ments. When visiting one of these
plants one sees nearly all the men
taking coffee grains from a little
pouch which is sewn on the front
OF their jumpers. Every little while
they take a half dozen or more
grains from it and chew them with
great relish. The women who work
there are addicted to the same habit.
A specil!ist of Philadelphia has
made a study OF the coffee chewing
habit and says: "Il is habit eusilY
contracted, for. the taste of the
crisp, roasted berries is not unpleas-
ant, and the exhilaration, the stim-
ulus, that che berries give is quite
US marked es that which would be
obtained frou a glass or two of beer
or from drink Of whisky.
ut is this exhilaration, I am con-
vinced, that causes tho habit to be
formed and that makes it a hard
habit to break away from. It should
be broken away from. It's effects
are highly injurious. They are more
Injurious than those Of tobacco
chewing.
''The coffee chewing habit wrecks
the nerves, it makes the skin sallow
and it destroye'the appetite. have
had occasion to treat a number Of
men for it. I always advise such
men to break of by imperceptibla
degRees-to give three or four
months to the task. Some succeed
and some do not. Men who work
in coffee plants find j. almost impos-
sible to succeed"
Coffee experts seem to be the
only employees connected with the
coffee trade who have not this habit,
for if they had their sense of taste
would be dulled. The experts, by
smell only or by taste only, distin-
guish without the slightest difficulty
or uncertainty between tho Arabian,
the Javanese, the Guatemalan, the
Costa Rican, the Bogotan and doz-
en- other coffees. They could not
do this if they were coffee chewe1s.

the DIET QUESTION,
Eas What You Like, What Aarees
Wish You, but Eat Slowly.

s-as Wnes rou like What Agreea
wish You, but Eat Slowly.
That instinct is q much better
guide to diet than faulty reasoning
is the conclusion of DR.. Woods
Hutchinson, writing on dictetic fads
in McClure's' Magazine. Here are
some of his findings con lensed:
Men should eat what they like
and good deal of it. "GiTen our
age, sex, size, horsepower and the
work to be done, the suitable fuel
is only a question of cost ana acces-
sibility."
Fish is no richer in pb"" "2horus
than many other foods. Even if it
were it would not therefore be "good
for the Arain." as some suppose.
Spices do not cheat f;e blood"
That notion confounds the ''hot"
taste with actual heat. Spices are
antiseptic. The Egyptians preserved
mummies in spices. In tropical
countries people cot more spices
than in cold ones, and the dict does
them good.
Pork is all right. 1t digests slow
ly, but that is an advantage. The
more rapidly digested foods are not
the most healthful. The digestive
machinery must have work to do
like the rest of the body.
Vegetarianism is "the diet Of the
enslavcd, stagnant and conquered
races" A diet rich in meat is that
OF the dominant races.
Few people who eat much meat
ever become consumptive. "Tuber-
culosis sweeps like q pestilence
through the grass and grain eaters
cattle, antelopes, chickens, pheas-
ants, turkeys-bn: is decidedly rare
among meat eaters-dogs, cats, IT,
gers, hons, civets, badgers, hawks,
eagles, crows"
Breakfast FOODS are we'll enough
II you must have them, but 'be
sure and eat your breakfast first"
White bread 'Ga tho best, most
healthful and most nutritious food
which the sun has ever grown from
the soil" Wars have always been
fiercest for the possession Of the
great wheat growing plains. No ma
ton eats brown bread when it can
get white. Instinct is here also cor
rect. Whole whe'.t meal, or s.gra-
ham," contains more nitrogen than
white, but the white has more
available" nitrogen.
"Mush makes q superb sour
mash in o weak stomach. "The
tortures Of the chronic dyspeptic
are aggravated and in very many
ceses chiefly caused by the very
foods which he takes for thajr cure.''
The chief value Of "mush sSaa milk
(meaning also other coarse cereal
foods) is in the milk and sugar.
Eat slowly, eat what you like,
what agrees with you and as much
as you need, seems to be DR.. Hutch
inson's idea.

FOOTBALL. I'M CHINA.
The Game Waa Played There Before
=; the Christian Era H.-: -

The Game Waa Played There Before
-. the Christian Era. H--s
Writing in the Nineteenth Cen
tuTy on Football and Polo In Chi
na," Professor Giles asserts that the
game Of football at least was knowa
during the Han dynasty before the
beginning Of the Christian era and
was even then an imperial favorite
and an object of censure.
The Emperor Ch'eng III was fond
of football, but his officers repse-
scented to him that it was both phys
1cally exhausting and also unsuita-
ble to the imperial dignity. His
majesty replied, "We Like playing,
:aad what one chooses to do is not
Aexhausting." An appeal was then
made 70 the empress, who suggested
the game of tiddlywinka for the en-
peror's amusement.
The ball as originally used by the
Chinese was round leather bag
stuffed with hair. Bamboo poles
were erected, and it was the aim of
the contending sides to kick the
ball over net stretched on these
poles. Some of the stories taken
10y Professor Giles from the old his
torians are not without application
today. Thus Of Taoist priest of
the sixteenth century, who was q
good player, we read: f'He used
shoulders. back, breast and belly to
take the place of his feet! de could
Withstand several antagonists, MAX
ing the ball ruin around his body

tain game played before d certain
emperor on his birthday it 10 said

GLASSMAKiMG.
ft,ehaa' Workers Wero Adopts la che
Art Forty Centuries AGO.


The glass blowers Of ancient
Thebes are known to have been as
proficient in that particular art as
is the most scientific craftsman of
the same trade Of the present day,
after O lapse of forty centuries Of so
called progress" They were well
acquainted with the art of staining
glass and are known to have pro-
duced that commodity in great pre-
fusion and perfection. Rosselini
gives IN ILLUSTRATION of O piece of
stained glass known to bo 1000
years old, which displayed s-:istic
taste of high order both in tint and
design. In this case the color is
struck through the vitrified struc-
tnre, and he mentions designs
struck entirely in pieces from half
inch, to thrce-quarters of an incn
thick, the color being perfectly in
corporated with the structure of the
piece and exactly the same on both
the diverse and reverse sides.
The priests Of Ptah at Memphis
were adopts in the glassmaker's art,
and not only did they have factories
for manufacturing tho common
crystal variety, but they had learned
the vitrifying of the different col
ors and the imitation of precious
stones to perfection. Their imita-
tions of the amethyst and of the
various other colored gems were so
true to nature that even now, after
they have lain in the desert sands
from 1000 to 1000 years. it takes
an expert to distinguish the genuine
articles from the spurious.
ssdt has been shown that besides
sy;hsang experts in glassmaking and
s;giass coloring they used the dia-
mond in cutting: and engraving
glass. In the British museum there
is . beautiful piece. OF stained glass
with an engraved emblazonment OF
the monarch Thothmes Ill.,, who
lived 3,400. years ago.
