In the habit of beginning the day in

An ancient philosopher once said
that there was everything in keeping
an even mind. Those of us who have
good deal to do in the course of
day or week, are well aware that we
accomplish nothing If we lose our
heads and rush where we should in
stead go slowly.
So great thinker as Francis Bacon,
who was a very learned man, said in
an essay an Dispatch that above all
things order and distribution and sin
Cling out of parts is the life of des-

Bacon thought it well to act with de-

Let the dead past bury it's dead;
Act, act in the living present,

HOUSE CARE OF PALMS.
Be Sure Drainage Is Good and Room Warm Enough-How Nuch
 Water Needed.

There is not much danger of keeping palm too wet if he pot has good drain age, and is not in too cold room. When watering it should be given wa, ter erOugh 10 wet the ball clear through, and this can only be done by standing the pot or lex in a vessel of water, the water reaching nearly to the top of the pot or box, and leaving il there until the surface soil appears well wet. If the drainage of the pol is good. any ex- cess of the water will quickly drain away. but if the drainage is poor. the soil will be apt to become soggy and cause he roots to be unhealthy or inac- tive The pot should not be left in ! lardiniere with an accumulation of wa her in il. If good drainage is afforded. he soil can be fully saturated and hen left until it appears or feels dry then soaked again. The temperature of the ordinary living room is atout right for the palm. and it should have a good strong Iight-not necessarily sunshine: the foliage should be often showered with clear. tepid water in order 10 re move the dust, or any insects though a healty palm is not often troubled by insects If allowed to dry out loo often the tips of the leaves will turn brown The best kinds fer the window garden are the Kentias, Areca.

LOST EYESlCHT
 Through Coffee Drinking

Some people question the statements that coffee hurts the delicate nerves of the body. Personal experience with thousands proves the general state ment true and physicians have records of great numbers If cases that add to the testimony.
 The following is from the Rockford, H., Register Gazette:
 Dr. William Langhorst of Aurora has been tredr:rg one of the queerest cases of lost eyesight ever in history. The patient is o. A. Leach of Beach county, and in the last four months he had doctored vita all of the specialists about the country and has at last re- turned home with the fact impressed on his mind that his case is incurab ble.
 portion of the optic nerve has been ruined, rendering his sight so limited that he is unable 10 see any thing before him, but he can see plain U anything a the side Of him There
The Forrest City times., 1906-01-26

have been but few cases of Its kind before, and they have been caused by whisky or tobacco. Leach has never used either, but has been great cof- fee drinker. and the specialists have decided that the case has been caused by this. Leach stated himself that for several years he had drank three cups of coffee for breakfast, two at noon and one at night. According to the records of the specialists of this corrtry this is the first case ever caused by the use of coffee.
 The nerve is ruined beyond aid and his case is incuratle. The fact that makes the case a queer one is that the sight forward has been lost and the side sight has been retained. Accord ing to the doctors statement, the young man will have to give up cof- fee Or the rest of his sight will fol- low and the entire nerve be ruined.--
