HAS GOOD AND BAD EFFECT
Result Of Psychological Study Of the
Continuous Use Of Caffeine on
the Human System.

The influence of caffeine, the ac-
tive principle of coffee, on mental
and motor efficiency has been studied
by the psychologists. The Journal
of Philosophy, Psychology and
Scientific Methods reviews the ex-
periments on 16 subjects, ten men
and six women, over a period of 40
days, reported by H. L. Holling-
worth, including an intensive expert
ment of three days to study the eff
fects of caffeine at close range and to
determine their time relations; also a
seven-day test with syrups. A cup
of coffee contains about 2.5 grains of
caffeine. Mr.. Hollingworth finds the
effect of small doses from one to four
grains, to be stimulating, with no
appreciate after effect; doses of six
grains or more clogging of the mem
tai faculties. Speed and quality of
performance in typewriting seem to
be improved with small doses of the
caffeine alkaloid, from one to three
grains, and to be unfavorably affect
ed by larger doses of four to six
grains. The effect begins in one to
two hours when the drug is taken in
a syrup, and from two to three hours
when taken in capsule form. When
taken in coffee it is believed that the
effects of the caffeine may be some
what neutralized by other ingredi-
ents. The effect of continuous use of
the drug was not determined by
these eKperiments.-New York
Times.

CHICKEN THIEF's QUERY.

District Attorney Whitman of
New York, discussing certain vicious
members of "the SYSTEM" said:
"These fellows are 50 corrupt that
in the most innocent proposition they
see corruption. They resemble old
Wash White.
"There was once a missionary out
west trying to educate the ignorant
mountaineers, and he was hard put
to it for a suitable schoolroom. He
heard one day of an abandoned hen
house that, being unusually roomy
and light, would serve his turn. SO
he said TO Wash White, an aged
loafer:
Wash, my good man, here's a
dime for you, and want You TO go
up this afternoon and clean out that
old hen house behind McWade's
barn
"Old Wash, with a look Of aston
ishment, pocketed the dime.
"But surely, boss he said, surely
you wouldn't clean out a hen house
in the daytimep"

REALLY A GREWs0ME AFFAIR
EngIIshman Narrates a Somewhat I'm
pleasant Experience While
Rhlnoceros Hunting.

In the Nairobi club / met gen.
tleman with one arm gone at the
shoulder. He told his story in a
slightly bored and drawling voice,
picking his words very carefully, and
evidently most occupied with neither
undertaking nor overstating the
case. 1t seems he had been out, and
had killed some sort of a buck.
while his men were occupied with
this he strolled on alone to see what
he could find. He found a rhinoceros
that charged viciously, and into
which he emptied his gun.
"'When l came to- he said, 1T
was just coming on dusk, and the
lions were beginning to grunt. My
arm was completely crushed, and |
was badly bruised and knocked
about. AS near as | could remember
l was fully ten miles from camp. A
circle of carrion birds stood all about
me not more than ten feet away; and
a great many others we're Tapping
over me and fighting in the air.
These last were SO close that l could
feel the wind from their wings. 1t
was rather grewsome.' He paused
and thought a moment, as though
weighing his words. Tn fact he
added, with an air of final convic-
ton, it was quite greEsomep p

PEOPLE or THE CAMPAeNA
Suffer From Tyranny Of Landlords
and the Thouphtlcssness Of
Pleasure Seekers.

We English abroad are perhaps too
apt to think Of the good we do by
being there. "Our money" we say,
looking at the shops in the Plaza di
Spagna, and the huge gimcrack ho-
tells, where, not long ago, ancient ar
chitectural gardens and vineyards
lay out in the sun. And the con-
seriousness Of benefaciors enjoying
themselves makes us amiable. But
we are not dsing good 50 universally.
as we suppose. The fox hunting on
the Campagna, for example, writes a
correspondent in Rome, is little less
than disastrous to the difficult at
tempts at cultivation made by the
poor people living half the year in
their savage huts. They are very
forlorn people, but they have a most
intelligent hatred for the luxury as
well as for the oppression Of this
most inconsiderate sport.
They have, however, no redress.
How many English spectators of this
vast old desert plain, with its aque-
ducts and its few shepherds, and its
singing carriers far apart-this ia
nous solitude-know that it is prop
erty, that some five OF six great land
lords own it, and that the handful of
scattered peasants are in their most
eager pay? No land ever looked less
suggestive of landlords, says a writer
in the London Chronicle. The
wretched people live in uninhabitable
huts because stone houses are taxed,
and the owners of this desert will not
suffer a tax for their sake 1t is too
true that an italian spending a holt
day in Whitechapel might have some
fault to find with the state of our
London poor, but then Italians do not
pay visits Of pleasure to Whitechapel,
and we do pay visits of pleasure to
Rome; and we are born critics, any,
way.

CLUB FOR CHINESE WOMEN
New York Library Plans Special
Reading Room Where orien-
tails May Learn English.

A club for Chinese women is about
to be formed at the Chatham Square
Public library. Miss Alison Baigrie,
librarian, who is one Of the few
American women who is regarded as
friend BY the cautious Chinese, has
felt for vome time that the women
of Chinatown should learn more Of
American ways.
GA few Of them come here TO the
library for books" she said, "bui
they never stay to read. They are
afraid. 1t seems to me great pity
that when one adventuresome spirit
has the courage to cross Chatham
square and brave the men on the
sidewalks to come here she might
get something out of it. l want to
teach her to speak English and to
understand our ways"
Miss Baigrie has ordered one hum
dred new books from China and as
soon as they come she is going to
invite all her Chinese friends to a
book feast in a private room, where
they may forget their shyness and
have such a good time they will want
to come again soon. Miss Baigrie
has discovered that the Chinese are
especially fond of detective stories.
She has ordered several volumes of
sherlock Holiness" as well as "The
Seven Swords and Thirteen Heroes"
'The Story of the Stone" and other
mystery tales from Jules Verne are
also very popular, while books on
Confucius gather dust on the shelves

MAN SHOULD BE THE HUNTER
Women Are Always Supposed to Be
the Quarry and Reluctant to
Be Won.

Mem from the beginning of time
have liked to be the hunters women
are supposed to be the quarry. 1t is
to the quarry's interest not to wish
to do any hunting, not to care, till
she is certain Of the hunter, whether
he pursues her or not. Such an at
titude is not calculating; it is merely
self-respecting and self-preservative.
On such cautious advance towards
love some Of the happiest marriages
are built. No romantic girl need
fear that by crushing down base
less emotion she will inhibit the real
coming of love. If love is real, it
makes a progress which is resistless,
however slow. On the other hand,
if the romantic girl yields without
restraint to baseless emotions, she
not only weakens her will power, but
she may injure her pride by show
ing herself too ready to receive love.
A man is the happier for being sure
he is well loved by his wife, but when
love is just beginning its growth in
his heart, he values the girl the more
if he is shown that her response is
too rare and high thing to be ac-
corded without strong suing on his
part.-Maude Radford Warren, in
Woman's World.

GENIUS AND FAME.

Governor Sulzer defined genius in

"Genius," he added, smiling,

defnition?
"Well, fame may defined as a de-
vice on the sordid worlds part where
by a man is kept poor, and whereby
at the same time bis creditors are
kept posted as TO his whereabouts. "
