When coffse Was Unpopular.

Coffee was introduced into England
in 1852 and within the next ten years
became the fashionable drink of Lon.
don. A few years later, however, in
1853, there was a great uprising
against the "oriental beverage of
hadsA" It was satirized on every
hand, the bitterest invecuves coming
from the pulpit One leading minister
characterized it as 'the strip Of SCOT
mixed with the ssence Of old shoes"
and another declared that It was "a
poison which God had made black that
It might bear the devils own color"
This bitter crusade soon wore itself
out, and by the time Of Charles II.

CALLS KISSING A CRIME
So Declares Dentist Who Organizes
League to Combat the
Habit.

Bangor, Me-The kiss is the most
dangerous thing in the world, and a
national crime, according to Dr.
George w. Bowling, urgeon-dentist OF
Lindsay, Okla, and he has incorpor.
.ated league to fight the habit
"Kissing is a pleasant pastime," he
says, "but people should refrain from
Il for sanitary and hygienic reasons.
If you have noticed 1t there is a ten
dency among educated people to teach
their children never to kiss anybody
on the mouth, and they readily form
the habit of kissing others on the
cheeks.
"Kissing is a national crime and
should be made such by law. real
lie that under the present conditions
such an act would be ridiculed. but
1t Is a crime just the same. The
most dangerous diseases are trans
ferred in this way, especially con.
sumption.
az want you to understand am no
crank upon this subject. I myself
kiss few people now and then, and
4 like to do It, But I am careful, and
that Is what others should be-"
. DR.. Bowling says he was "kicked
out" Of a state professional associa'
Ition because he founded the league,
but that the club women Of the state
and many Of the best people are be-
hind him.

NAIL HOLDS BOY FAST, HOUR
Rescuer Forced to Saw Off Foot OF
Plank to Llberate
Victim.

Boston.-After lying helpless for an
hour and half In an abandoned barn,
pinned to a board by a rusty tenpen-
ny nail, which had pierced his hand,
eight-year-old James Gallagher of No.
I130 East Eleanor street, Olney, was
discovered by passing farmer, who
found 1t necessary to saw off a foot
of the plank to liberate him. The boy
was treated at the Frankford hospital.
where the surgeons had to use saw
again and cut away the remaining
portion of the board before they
could remove the nail. The wound
was cauterized and large quantity
of lockjaw antitoxin was injected.
The lad had been amusing himself
by sliding down an inclined board in
an unused barn in Cedar Grove lane,
about mile from his home. He had
made only one or two trips when his
hand suddenly struck the huge nail,
which had been driven through the
edge of the plank and bent over to
form a hook. The force of his swift
descent caused the sharp point to
penetrate entirely across the palm.
Screaming with pain, he tried to
writhe free, but every movement only
Increased his agony, and he was un-
able to extricate himself. Literally
mailed to the plank, he lay for more
than an hour, until Joseph Wilson,
farmer, of Second street pike, above
Fox Chase, heard his cries as he
passed in wagon.
Wilson found the lad almost ex-
hausted from pain. He endeavored to
free him, but found that his efforts
only added to the victims misery. He
finally walked half a mile and bor-
rowed a saw with which he cut the
board across In two places, while the
boy, suffering intense agony, lay
watching him.
Having finally freed the lad, Wilson
placed him, with foot of plank still
fastened to his hand, In his wagon
and drove at top speed to the Friends
asylum, the nearest institution. Physi-
clans at that place, however, were un-
able to give any aid to the sufferer,
and 1t was necessary for the farmer
to drive with him to Frankford be-
fore he obtained relief from his pain.

PAYS TO Be POLITE
IGrouchy Speech or RepeIlent Air
Never Yet Pushed a Man
to the Top.
DiScOURTESY A GRAVE FAULT
No Stronger Factor In Driving Away
Trade Has Been Discovered
Little Hope for the Man Who
FeeIs "superlor to Hls
JobU

A young struggling physician open.
I'd the latest number Of medical jour
nal, glanced at the articles, found
them dull and uninteresting and turn
ed to the Advertisements.
A neatly worded advertisement, ad'
dressed to physicians just like him,
caught his eye. writes Richard +.
Vogle In the Chicago Tribune. The
Advertisement told of what an asset q
completely equipped office Is to ply
sician; how necessary 1t Is. especially
for the young physician, to have the
best Of surgical and medical instru-
ments at hand.
The advertisement closed with an
exceedingly cordial invitation to visit
s'our house" and take all the instru-
ments you need on easy payments"
or something to that effect.
The advertisement sounded sincere
and heartfelt. 1t talked to the young
physician as an older brother or a faith
er would talk to him. 1t made him feel
that there was no shame In being poor,
that most successful physicians start
ed poor, and 80 on.
With light heart the physician left
the Office and took car to the house
which invited him to call and look
over their stock Of instruments.
"You will have to see the credit
man." the clerk told the physician
when the latter informed him Of his
intention to buy several hundred dol
lars' worth Of instruments on the In
stallment plan. The physician was
shown into the credit mans office.
A dry, thin man with face that
seemed to have known no smile for
years bade him sit down. The look
OF the man, his motions, froze the
young physicians enthusiasm Instant
n.y. After some minutes the credit
man motioned to the physician to
come up to desk, and he began firing
questions at him in a voice which a
district attorney reserves for a most
notorious criminal. The physician
sheepishly answered the questions for
some moments. AS he went on speak
ing the credit mans voice became
drier and shriller. His face became
moro sinister. An executioner could
mot have frowned worse than he.
At the same time change was COM
ing over the young physician. His
face gradually grew red and hot. Fin
ally he jumped from his seat and told
the credit man to cancel his order I'M
mediately. The credit man looked up
at him puzzled, his dictatorial air, leav-
ing him by degrees. -s.-..
"You advertise that you sell goods
on credit, that there is no favor about
selling goods that way" the physician
said, "and here you make me feel as
II l had committed the worst crime
imaginable by asking for credit. Your
advertisements are polite. You are a
miserable and disagreeable brute.
Cancel my order and shall never look
unto your house again."
; Whatever the reason for tmpolite-
ness on the part Of one may be, the
fact is that many an employe is driving
away trade by feeling superior to his
Job or else by mot giving a hang"
about his Job and making the custo-
uer feel so.

TELL Of I PIRATES
Sailors Rescued by Steamer
From Island.
Seaman Declare They Were Attacked
by Brlgands When Storm Threat
ened to Send Vessel to Bot
tom-Search for Bandits.

New York.-When the steamer AL
lemania arrived in port recently a
thrilling story of shipwreck and attack
by pirates was told by thirteen saIl-
ors Of the Italian Bark Genee, on
board the Allemania, and rescued by
the latter boat when in desperate
plight at Inagua, the Bahamas.
) According to the story tod by the
RESCUED sailors, the Genee SGT out
from Inagua on May 16, bound for
Marseilles, with a costly cargo cf
hardwood, and when short distance
out from port had encountered Sc
we're storm which carried them out
of their course and threatened to send
them to the bottom.
After working the pumps for sew
eral days, the crew was on the point
Of deserting the bark and taking TO
the boats, when a number Of small
sailboats came alongside, and the oc-
cupants Of these boats, numbering
more than 100, armed with guns and
revolvers, boarded the Genee and orr
dered the crew to surrender. An at
tempt was made by the crew to scut-
tie the Genee, and a fight ensucd i'm
which the defenders were badly wort
ed. They were then ordered into tie
small boats without water or piGYis-
ions.
After rowing aimlessly for two days,
the crew Of the Genee made lard at
one of the smaller Bahamas and hoist
ed a signal of distress, which was
seen by the lookout on the steamer
Allemania, which rescued them, near
ly dead from exposure and hunger.
A British revenue cutter was dis patch
ed in pursuit Of the pirates. No res
port of a capture had been received
by the Allemania up to the time Of
leaving Inagu for New York city.
All Of the members of the crew
Genee were on board the Allemania
when she arrived here except the
captain, Joseph Capello, and the first
mate, who remained at the Bahamas
to prosecute the search for the pi1
rates. The United States government
will be asked to cooperate with the
british authorities in putting a stop
to the activity Of the pirates In Ba-.
hama waters.
Some months ago the steamer
Prince Joachim, plying between the
West Indies and New York, went
a5fvuad- s.ts-V- -~i-~r@-''ss1- r--i-----
where the crew Of the Genee was ship
wrecked, and was boarded by pirates,
who ransacked the ship for valuables
and robbed the passengers.

IUNEARTHS COTTON SPHINX
,Engllshman Finds Figure Carved
From Single Block of Ala
baster.

London.-Another great sphinx
weighing ninety tons and carved from
"a single alabaster block and which
has lain buried beneath the water
logged sands on the road to Sakkareh
has just been unearthed by Mr.. Mac
kay, one Of the students Of the Brit
,ish school in Egypt.
7 The location of the sphinx was told
to Mr.. Mackay about year ago and
now that the complete figure has been
excavated, it has been found to meas
.ure about fourteen feet in height and
twenty-six feet in length.
Alabaster being a rock foreign to
its neighborhood, the new sphinx is
regarded as the largest that ever has
been transported. 1t bears no inscrip-
ton, but is considered by DR.. Flinders
Petrie, director of the British school
in Egypt, to have been carved about
1900 B. G.

We stood where spring swept down the
distant hills
And danced upon the valley far below:
We saw the bright spray-jewels of the
rills
Clint as the ripples flung them to and
fro;
And far away against the azure sky
White summer clouds piled up in SILL
yer light
T turned, and saw a new fire in his eye
AS though 'twere kindled by the Won
drous sight.
The velvet meadow at our feet outrolled,
An emerald carpet by springs magic
made
And fiecked with dandelions' living gold
And mottled by the shifting sun and
shade,
Was such sight as holds ones happy
gaze
And sends him thoughts that blend into
a song
Where tomorrows link with yesterdays
In one fair cadence that will hold US
long.
Against the sky the trees. whose trem-.
bling leaves
Were opened newly in their tender
The trees locked branches in thousand
fs. weaveS
That seemed to hold the sunshine In
between;
And yonder DER the awkward fence
vine
Tossed its new leaves and sent Its ten
drills on
To hide the barrenness as they would
-- twine,
To open buds to drink the dews of
dawn.
We stood and saw the violets that smiled
Back at the sky like tiny mirrors placed
Amid the grass so that they had peguiieo
Bits of the blue with which the sky was
graced;
We saw the shrubs that burst in blossom
Red, purple, yellow, pink and sheerest
white
Until 1t seemed no mortal man might
This picture of the springs own deep
delight.
We stood and saw 1t all-and he looked
Across the valley, and he heaved
sigh;
He watched the smoke come drifting
from the town,
He looked up at the silent, dreaming
sky.
"I thrink," he said-ah, now should come
the words
Which of this beauteous spectacle were
born,
The speech that told of blossoms. bees
