Why She Won't Use Coffee.

“I have decided, my dear,” said young Mrs. Simpultun, “never again shall coffee be served upon my table. It is ruining our young men.” “What nonsense, dear,” said Miss Albright. “I tell you it Is so. Dr. Mendel, the groat German scientist, declares that it Intoxicates, and I know he is right.” “Were you ever Intoxicated by Ks” “No, my dear, but I’m sorry to say George is.

In accord with tills suggestion, it may be interesting to follow the course cocoa lias taken in England since 1832, when the duty, which had been standing at6d. per pound, with an importation of under half a million pounds, was reduced to 2d. per pound, and not long after we find the homoeopathic doctrine of medicine introduced luto the kingdom, and that the use of cocoa was specially advocated by physicians udoptlng that mode of practice. Soon after we find the first homoeopathic chemists established in England (the firm of James Epps & Co.) produced a special*:preparation which only needed boiling water or milk to be at onco ready for the table, and the superior charactor of this production has. no doubt, dono im/ch, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer said, to bring about (backed as it was by a further reduction of the duty to Id. per pound) the advance made. Tiikbe is wheat enough in Portland, Oregon, to load fifty-seven ships any to give $2,000,000 to the farmers. The fashion for men to wear wedding rings is greatly on the increaso in En- «. Many a poor slokly child has been saved from the grave by its kind mother giving it Dr. Bull's Worm Destroyers, which the little one thought was candy.
