THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When I
Baby.

If parents realized the fact that cof-
fee contains a caffeine-which
is especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before CIV
ing the babies coffee to drink.
When was child in my mothers
arms and first began to nibble things
at the table, mother used to give me
sips of coffee. AS my parents used
coffee exclusively at meals | never
knew there was anything to drink but
coffee and water.
"And so l contracted the coffee habit
early. l remember when quite young,
the continual use of coffee so affected
my parents that they tried roasting
wheat and barley, then ground It in the
coffee-mill, as a substitute for coffee.
But 1t did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was
long before Postum was ever heard of.

are happy in the thought that they wish
we'll toward all men.
Then there are certain passive friends"
whose usefulness to those for whom they
have a real regard has been through life
a wretchedly poor opinion OF themselves.
They have no wealth, they reflect: no spe-
cial influence. perhaps no great physical
strength. They have no aptitude for sac
rifice. they say: they were never cut out
for martyrs: and, paralyzed by a sort OF
humble sloth. they lose all power OF
friendly activity. Again, there are few
quite good and friendly people who have
determined. not without q certain worldly
wisdom, to keep off the stage OF life as
much as possible. They look on with keen
interest at the struggles and successes OF
their friends, but their cardinal rule Is not
to mix themselves up in matters the
exact rights and wrongs OF which they
feel they will never understand. They
"interpose'' nowhere, they espouse no
ones quarrel, they keep on their own
way always. and congratulate themselves
as they get on in life that they have made
no enemies and are disturbed by fewer
and fewer applications for help in any
form.
1t takes great many people, however.
to make up a world. They cannot be ac-
curately differentiated under labels. Will
lingness to help is by no means always
a measure of friendly feeling. One comes
occasionally across stray men. or at any
rate stray women, who do an infinitude OF
active kindnesses toward individuals, and
who can hardly be described as having
any friends at all.

INSANITY A BLOOD DISEASE.
Long Supposed, However, to Be an
Affection Of the Brain.
From the New York Times.
From EyrybOiy'e.


Insanity is not disease Of the brain,
because no anatomical investigation, mi
croscopic or otherwise, can show the least
difference between either brain cell or
fiber of a person dying insane and the
healthy brain Of one killed In an accident.
But the same absence of brain changes Is
not ceable in a whole class of important
chronic nervous diseases. such as mi
graine neuraSthenia. hysteria and cpl
lepsy None of these shows post mortem
any characteristic changes from normal
brains.
Now, no one can minimize the impor-
lance of these nervous diseases. Insanity
alone is serious enough. When that dread
specter appears there is no getting used
to II. Years OF familiarity with 1t, both in
private and in official relations, do not
lessen my recoil from the spectacle of a
permanent, instead of-as with drugs-a
temporary. mental arrangement. But 1t
Is facts connected with these same insan-
tiles produced by drugs entering the blood
which awaken the hope that we may find
elsewh here than in the brain the cause,
and therefore, with the cause. the best
treatment for this dreadful affection as
we'll as also for the other nervous dis
eases which cause no brain changes. If
the brain of a man who has been addicted
to immense doses of opium for years still
shows in 1t no trace Of this mind-derang-
ing agent. while chemistry quickly finds
the reactions of this drug in his blood.
the mistake of years on this whole sub
ject begins to come into view. 1t Is sin
gular how long the sway OF that error has
continued, for even yet many physicians.
including some neurolog SITS, cannot see
the two sides of the problem.

yet as a matter of fact the melons are
grown in many other sections OF Otero

upper Arkansas river. The principal point
of shipment. however. is at Rocky Ford.
and at the height of the season-the latter
part of August-from forty to fifty car
loads daily are sent away.
But everybody who owns a patch or

Leather Horseshoes in Australia.
From the British Australian.

In some parts of Australia the horse is
shod with leather instead of iron, the
feet receiving better support; but this
novelty is employed only in regions where
the ground is permanently covered with
grass or fine sand. Though the leather
shoe is more expensive than the iron shoe
the higher price is repaid by the superior
advantages. 1t is not impossible the in
novation will soon extend to every coun-
try where the nature of the soil permits
it to be used.

These two negroes are splendidly

beneficiary of the white mans progressive
ideas he has advanced rapidly and that
all that the negro is today he owes to
the white men of the country. These au-
thors will review at some length the
condition of the negro as he is today. and
compare it with that of ante-bellum
days.
