the Brown Berry.
London physicians are endeavor;no
to introduce 'Yerbe Mate" the tea Of
Paraguay, which is universally used
in many countries in South America
as a substitute for tea and coffee. The
London doctors contend that women
are the principal sinners when it comes
to tea drinking, while the men are the
greatest offenders against the laws Of
health when it comes to the using Of
coffee.
There is no brand Of coffee that ono
can drink to any considerable extent
without suffering from the same dis
tressing consequences that affiict in
judicious users of tea," publicly de-
clared one leading physician recently.
Thousands of men, particularly in the
city" he continued, "sip coffee during
the day at brief intervals, as their
brethren in New York nip spirits. In
time the coffee habit develops palpita-
ton Of the heart, irregular pulse. nery-
ousness indigestion and insomnia. COT
fee drunkards, as l may call them. are
greatly increasing in number, due prob
ably to the wave Of temperance which
is passing over the country, but l have
known cases where Authorizations
scarcely differing from those of alco.
holism have been set up by continued
coffee drinking" - ST. Louis Globe.

that nobody believes word she says.

Six Rivers Joined Together Form Its
Actual Head.
The actual head Of the Missouri river
or what should be known as such had
it been intelIigently named is De Lacy's
or ShOShone lake, in the National park.
This lake, a considerable body Of wa
ter, is the source of the Madison river
and forms with the river the drainage
outlet for most of the water of that
portion of the National park. The Gal
latin, or left source of the Missouri, is
formed by two streams. the East and
West Gallatin. which unite about a
mile above its junction with the Mis-
souri, The Madison and Gallatin are
both somewhat smaller than the Jeffer-
son.
Had Lewis and Clark assembled the
Madison instead of the Jefferson, which,
becoming the larger stream, they natu-
rally mistoOk for the continuation Of
the Missouri, they would have discov-
cred the famous geyserS in Firehole ba-
sin, ShOShOne lake and all the country
which is now Incorporated within the
limits of the National park. The Big
Hole and the Beaverhead rivers flow
into the Jefferson at Twin Bridges, a
few miles from the confluence of the
Jefferson with the Missouri, so that in
reality there are six considerable riv-
ers, all joining one another within ra-
dius of a few miles, which unite to
form the longest river in the world,
measured from the gulf to the Rocky
mountains.

An inventor has devised an entirely
new idea in window shade holders, an
illustration of which is herewith
shown. The advantage Of the device
is that it can be changed to fit any
ordinary window frame without de-
stroying it's future usefulness in case
of change of residence with change in
size of window frame. The body of
this holder is made of bar divided in

Sneezing itself is a reflex nervous ac-
tio1 and is brought about by mechani-
cal irritation to the ends of the nerve
fibers which occur in the tissue Of the
nose. When this irritation occurs,
whether it be due to a foreign body or
change Of temperature affecting the
tissue Of the nose, nerve impulse Is
transmitted to the brain. and certain
nerve centers in the medulla oblongata
are affected. This results in certain
impulses being transmitted along the
nerves to the muscles controlling respi-
ration. By this means the egress of air
during expiration is delayed, and the
various exits are closed. When the
pressure. however, reaches a limit the
exits are forced open. "a powerful blast

safety bridges, which can be let down
and put together. These are to assist
in the rescue work and in removing
furniture from burning buildings. The
entire fire escape, with appliances,
may be placed in service in rev
minutes. 1t can also be used in max
ing military observations and TOR
searchlights.
\ framework of lazy tOngs is con-
structed in such manner that the eX-
ternal places of junction of every sec
ond pair of legs are adjusted to serve
as supports for the platform. These
platforms can be put up at the various
heights of the floors of burning build
ing, and gangway is hinged to eacn
platform. By the aid Of these gang
ways persons are enabled to pass from
the windows of burning building 10
the main platform and then descend
by the aid Of rope ladder. When III
operation the gangways may be let
down collectively by single move
ment, so as to stand out horizontally,
with their outer edges or ends laid
upon the window lodges of the differ
ent floors of a building. The entire
framework of the portable tower or
fire escape may be folded up and plac-
ed in a comparatively small space.
When the tower has been adjusted
ready for use it is kept in position by
a system of rods made of tubing and
attached to the framework in man
ner which makes the tower very sub
stantial. The illustration shows the
fire escape or tower ready for work by
the side Of burning building.

To Remove Warts.

Potato water, the water in which po-
tatoes are boiled, will remove warts,
even the worst "seed warts" that ever
come ON the hands Of children or
grownups. Wash the hands two or
three times a day in the potato water,
using no soap or anything else, and let
the water dry on the skin or battle the
spots affected every little while in the
course of the day, keeping them con-
stantly moistened with the potato wa
ter, and the warts will disappear in q

to penalty of f5 if he did not restore
