HER ONE TALENT.

Margaret Sangster tells Of a wo-
man neither young, nor beautiful,
nor robust, nor accomplished, nor
educated, who became a bride.
She realized that she was extreme
ly unlike her brilliant hus band.
81 have not even talent to fold
away in a Napkin" she said. But
the husband loved her, andsshe
loved him, and would, please God,
make him happy. "There is one
comfort can keep house." she
SAID. So she planned the delicate,
dainty, healthful meals and kept
the home clean but lot forbidding-
ly spotless. 1t invited the tired
husband to rest, to litter it with
books and papers, if it pleased him
to bring work home from the Office,
while she sat beside him ready to
smile and speak as he looked up The
husband said, one day: "There's
one talent you have, darling, be-
You'd any one else in the world
the talent Of having time enough
for everything" His home was a
suburb of paradise, and be went
forth to the competitions Of life
steadily successful in all his en- ter
prise. And the quiet wife, who
had time to love him, to share his
hopes, listen to his plans, and
make his life supremacy happy,
was an element in his success
which counted more largely than
even the husband knew.-Ex.

People whose nerves are troubled by
coffee will be glad to learn that certain
varieties of the bean have been newly
discovered which contain no caffein--
that is to say, none of the specific
alkaloid that does the mischief. Coffee
made from this caffeinless kind of bean
has all the flavor of the ordinary article,
but none of the stimulating properties.
In the Mozambique channel, 15O miles
from the northwest coast of Madagas-
car, Is volcanic island called Great
Comoro, on which grows wild coffee
called coffea humholdtiana. 1t closely
resembles ordinary coffee, being merely
a variety of the same species, but as
recently ascertained, contains no caf-
fein. This discovery, not long ago, led
DR.. Gabriel Bertrand, a scientist of dis
tinction, to try to ascertain the cause,
and he decided that the phenomenon
was due to neither soil nor climate,
inasmuch as common coffee cultivated
or the same island has the customary
percentage of the alkaloid.
Incidentally to his inquiry, DR.. Ber-
trand examined many wild coffees in
Madagascar, and discovered three en-
tirely new varieties, which, on being
analyzed, proved to contain no caffein.
All of them closely resembled the caf-
feinless' coffee of the Great Comoro.
1t appears, then, that there are today
four known varieties of the coffee plant
which produce beans that contain none
of the alkaloid. All of them are found
in Madagascar or nelghboring islands,
and it is deemed probable that such
coffees are peculiar to that part Of the
world. Inasmuch as their lack of
caffein is not due to soil or climate, 40
obstacle would seem to be in the way
of introducing them elsewhere,-Satur-
