In the light of the data that have been accumulated in respect to the physiological action of coffee It may safely be affirmed that It is not injurious when used moderately by reasonably healthy people. With the neurasthenic and the dyspeptic It is a . omewh;it different matter. While , alarming symptoms have followed the Ingestion of enormous quantities, there ' - 1 il. 1 ...... T t 4 I 0f 4 - nave ever ensued. Coffee is a mlkl stimulant, and the sffects are rather transient. The moderate ust.' of coffee will not make a - well man sick. ' Such moderate use will not occasion disagreeable symptoms in the healthy, such as insomnia, headache, nervousness, drowsiness, palpitation, dyspepsia, vertigo, etc. On the other hand, it will obviate or relieve fatigue. We do not consider coffee a neceslary concomitant of civilized life, which some extremists claim it to be. To our minds it is rather a luxury rhich it is not necessary to dispense with unless one is compelled to do so as a part of the .attempt to combat the increasing cost of living. As to :he moderate use of any of the things which we in!-'et the same principles apply.

What it means to encounter a waterspout in the south seas is described by a writer: "First of all. a black trunk, like nn elephant's, began to feel blindly about in midair, hanging from i cloud. It came nearer and nearer with uncanny speed, drawing up to Itself as it came a colossal cone of turbulent sea until the two joined together in an enormous black pillar some quarter of a mile broad at the base and probably a good thousand feet high, uniting as it did the clouds ind the sea Below.

Boston Booms as Railroad Comes

BOSTON, Ind., Sept. 27. After a series of disasters, the worst of which was a black cholera plague in 1849, Boston is enjoying a rapid growth following the location of the C. & O. yards here. The coming of railroad men to the town to make their homes has almost doubled the population. Many have built homes here, while others are renting houses. The Commercial club has been trying for some time to interest capital in building homes. C. & O. Yards Here. The C. & O. company now has a trackage of over sixty miles in the Boston yards. The repair shops, and the roundhouse give employment to thirty-one men, machinists, hostlers, repair men and laborers. Freight business is good, and is constantly increasing. Many trains are being run, and it is necessary to keep a full yard crew at work all the time switching trains and caring for their freight. A coal yard and a 90,00 gallon water tank and a repair shop are located here in connection with the yards. Haa Old Church. Boston's first building was a church, erected in 1811 by farmers living in this section of the county. They called it the Salem Methodist church. There were no houses for miles about. When the foot and horse path between Richmond and Cincinnati was opened along the line of the Richmond turnpike, a tavern and a blacksmith shop were built near the church. So Boston grew until its population is about three hundred. Fleeing from the dreaded black cholera in 1849, all the citizens left the town, with the exception of one family, that of a Mr. Jones. For years people were afraid to live in the village, but gradually the farming land was bought, and the town became a prosperous, busy, little place. EARLY MARRIAGE HELPS INDUSTRY The unmated condition of 17,000 000 adult men and women in the United States has led Conservation Commissioner Rittenhouse, of the Equitable Life Assurance society, to issue an appeal for early marriages. In this position he has the support of the majority of social reformers. The excuse commonly given for postponing wedlock is the high cost of living and high standards set up by young women. Marriageable men say the girls expect them to begin where their fathers left off. Quite as often, though, the real hitch lies in the vanity of men. When they marry, their wrives must have the biggest hats, the longest feather, the fluffiest dress of any woman in town. And the home with its furnishings is to be built to correspond. To offer a girl less hurts pride. They won't admit that they have not ascended the bandwagon of large success, so they adhere to single life, with incidentals of more or less loose living that do not make them any better risks for Mr. Rittenhouse's insurance company. Men of this type should put the proposition up to their girl friends. They will find plenty of them that are willing to begin on a five-room flat basis, if they have the right man for a comrade. For a minority of girls the Irreducible minimum includes motors, jewelry, furs, travel and good servants. That their manicured fingers should ever come in contact with the frying pan appears grotesquely impossible. They get the goods for which they are shopping. But love is an incidental they will probably overlook in seeking for more tangible values. Early marriages promote industry and sober and moral living. They permit people to become grandfathers and grandmothers before age has taken the zest out of life. DETHRONES KING ; GAINS EMPIRE LONDON, Sept. 27. Sir Harry Prendergast, V. C, the man who won Burma, has just died at his house at Richmond, in his seventy-ninth year. His great achievement came in 18S588. when he annexed Burma, a country larger than France, to the British empire and dethroned the infamous King Theebaw. "It is beyond doubt that in one day King Theebaw caused seventy or eighty members of the royal family to be massacred," said Sir Harry once. "But tnen this was strictly in accordance with the traditions of his position." Sir Harry has himself described the surrender of Theebaw at Mandalay in the following words: "I went to the palace with twenty or thirty officers and an interpreter. King Theebaw sat on his throne under the awning of a veranda surrounded by his ministers and his wives and the queen mother. "There was no trace of fear or anger in his demeanor: he was perfectly cool and polite. I informed him that it would be necessary for him to embark for India. He suggested a delay of three months, which was refused, then three weeks and tnally three days. At length I took out my watch and said, 'I can give you ten minutes.' " King Theebaw then implored Sir Harry not to rob him of a precious ruby ring or his wife. But as the general smiled in a mysterious way, the king exclaimed: "Well, well, take my wife, but, oh, great commander, spare me my ring." From the officer of the steamer in which the king and his court were taken into exile, Sir Harry received a receipt for "one king, three queens, one prime minister, three councilors and so many maids of honor." A Chine J ok. This is a sample of the jokes they like in China: A courier, bearing important dispatches, was given a horse and told to make all possible speed toward bis destination. Some time afterward he was found in the road, walking and pushing his horse before him. "Why in the world are yon doing that? he wms asked. "Oh," be aid. "I reflected, and I came to the conclusion that we should make more speed on six feet than we possibly could on four." A milk-preserving factory is to be started in Kamloops, British Columbia.

FARMER'S INCOME $640.40 A YEAR

WASHINGTON. Sept. 27 Fanning is not the most profitable business in the world, railroad press agents to the contrary notwithstanding, according to a bulletin of the department of agriculture. For the first time in the history, of farming in the United States the department has managed to get accur ate data om the subject, j It reports that the average in com a of the American farmer is $640.40 a year. "It is reasonable to infer." aays tfce department, "that at least half "of the farmers in this country hare even smaller incomes. "individual farmers here and there have incomes larger than this average, but the facts indicate that a the whole the income of the farmers tn this country, even if we include aa a part of the income those things con sumed on the farm where they are . produced, is certainly not more than su:nci-nt to pay 5 per cent on the in- ! est ment." 7nrr? 1766 fexpert Coats, J Co,
