AS TO FLAVOUR.

A bright young lady tells how she
came to be acutely sensitive as to the
taste of coffee:
My health had been very poor for
several years. she says. Il loved
coffee and drank it for breakfast, but
only learned by accident, as it were,
that it was the cause of the constant,
dreadful headaches from which suf-

ness that drove sleep from my pillow
and so deranged my stomach that
everything / ate gave me acute pain
(Tea is just as injurious, because IL
contains caffeine, the same drug found
in coffee.)
My condition finally got so serious
that l was advised by my doctor to go
to a hospital. There they gave me

Done so Much to Create

Once more, what is It to be an
American? Putting aside all the out
er shows OF dress and manners, so
cial customs and physical peculiari-
ties, is it not to believe in America
and in the American people? Is 1t
not to have an abiding and moving
faith in the future and in the destiny
of America? Something above and
beyond the patriotism and love which
every man whose soul is not dead

sectional; Independent and not colo
NAL? Is 1t not to have a higher con-
ception of what this great new eoun-
try should be, and to follow out that
ideal with loyalty and truth? Has
any man in our history fulfilled these
conditions more perfectly and COM
pletely than George Washington? Has
any man ever lived who served the
American people more faithfully, or
with higher and truer conception of
the destiny and possibilities OF the
country?
He was the first to rise above all
colonial or state lines and grasp
firmly the conception of a nation to
be formed from the thirteen EARRING
colonies. The necessity of national
action in the army was at once ap-
parent to him, although not to 9TH
ers; but he carried the same broad
views into widely distant fields, where
at the time they wholly escaped no.
tice. 1t was Washington, oppressed
by thousand cares, who, in the
early days of the Revolution, saw the
need of federal courts for admiralty
cases. and for other purposes. 1t was
he who suggested this scheme. years
before anyone even dreamed OF the
Constitution; and from the special
committees Of congress, formed for
this object in accordance with this
advice, came, in the process of time,
the federal judiciary of the United
States. Even in the early dawn of
the Revolution, Washington had clear
in his own mild the need of a CONT
mental system for war, diplomacy,
finance and law, and he worked stead
lily to bring this policy to fulffllment
There must have been something
very impressive about a man, who,
with no pretensions to the art of the
orator and with no touch of the char
latan, could so move and affect vast
bodies of men by his presence alone.
But the people, with the keen eye of
affection, looked beyond the mere
outward nobility of form. They saw
the soldier who had given them vic
tory, the great statesman who had led
them out of confusion and faction to
order and good government. Party
newspapers might rave, but the I'M
stinct OF the people was never at
fault. They loved, trusted and we'll
nigh worshiped Washington living,
and they have honored and reverence
ed him with an unchanging fidelity
since his death.-Henry Cabot Lodge,

their principles as certain folk do
