ORIGIN OF THE TENT.
imu Legend Attributes Its In
ventiOn to the Ingenuity
of Adam.

IAN ancient Talmudic legend relates
that Adam, OF his expulsion from Par
adise, encountered a cutting north
wind against which his scant girdle
of fig leaves proved poor protection"
says Hiram M Stanley, in Outing. "As
he wistfully asst his eyes over the
desolate plain Of Shinar he perceived
at a great distance a dead thorn bush.
running thlther he crouched behind
it. and while still %shivering he saw a
wild ass como by. And Adam cried
20 the beast to lie down alongside and
keep him warm. But the ass spake
ont ("for asses sometimes spake in
those days, as SINCE" saith the COM
m~entator), and derided him for not
having a warm coat of fur. Where
upon Adam waxed wroth, and slew the
ass with a piece Of the thorn tree. and
with teeth and nails stripping off the
ass's coat wrapped it around himself.
But toward noon. the sun growing
hot and a scorching wind arising.
Adam conceived the happy thought of
hanging the skin over the bush and
reposing in the shade thereof. 1t was
done. the tent was invented and civ
tlization began"

PROFITS OF PUGILISM.
Large Sums RenliHed by h Leading
Prise Fighters In Their
engagements.

It's a profitable business-this prize
fighting, after one gets to weigh a
couple of hundred pounds and can boast
of having knocked out" a score or two
of men, says the Baltimore News. For
his part Of the proceedings in the recent
fight, Jeffries has been able to add to
his bank account nearly $33, 900, while
Corbett's roll has been increased a
shade less than 81, 600. OF course, the
training expenses amounted to some
thing, but when the men have attained
such notoriety as the two principals in
question have, 1t is generally the Gus
tom for e%nterprising r~oadhouses to fall
over themselves bidding for the honor
of entertaining them during the weeks
of preparation. Nearly all Of the fig
ures mentioned for each man will be
clear profit, and 1t is a pretty tidy salary
for half an hours work, even though
that work consists of being a chopping
block for the other fellow. Besides, the
prominence with which each man is
again brought before the country on the
eve OF another season on the stage is an
asset which must not be overlooked.
Such fights as that Of a few weeks ago
don't need to be faxed" Each man
realized that there had been nothing
doing" for so long that he was dropping
o public vision, which means death

has chosen.

COFFEE AS A STIMULANT.
Medical Authority Declares IL IL AN
AntidOte for AIcOhO and 9th
srwise Beneficial. y

One of the highest authorities among
medical publications the London Lancet,
gives a few words of advice and comfort
to the lovers Of coffee and says that this
most popular of all drinks is not harm
full.
AS an after-dinner drink 1t believes
coffee is distinctly beneficial. Coffee also
is an antidote for alcohol. The dyspep-
tic. 1t says, should not drink coffee or tea,
because both are Injurious to weak stom-
achs.
AS a substitute for the hot drink. how
ever, coffee jelly is recommended. In
this form 1t can be taken into any stom-
ach without injury, provided there is no
stinting of the quantity Of coffee in the
Jelly. 1t has a cooling effect, assuages
the thirst and is generally beneficial.
Coffee, the Lancet declares, is a stimu-
liant, like alcohol, but, unlike alcohol, 1t
muscular energy without the
collapse which follows alcoholic drinks.
This is likely'to prove grateful informa-
ton to the thousands of Americans who
think they cannot begin the day without
a free indulgence in coffee and often con
sumo that beverage with each OF the
three daily meals.

Ample ,.idence OF the narrow margin
of safety in the powerful automobiles
is shown by the fact that in the Paris
Madrid race nearly all the big cars came
to grief through failure OF working
parts. The heat softened the metal in
the bearings. cylinder heads crooked,
rods bent, giving evidence that the ma
chinery was under-proportioned and
overworked. 1t is more than probable
that this disastrous race will prove use
full in showing hat the limits of safety,
either in construction or operation, oan-
not be exceeded with impunity.
