Coffee for Inebriates.

A traveler has made the observation that coffee drinking people are very seldom given to drunkenness. In Brazil, for Instance, where coffee is grown extensively, and all the inhabitants drink It many times a day, intoxication Is rarely seen. Ths effect is only noticeable among the natives, bat the foreigner who settles there, though possessed of ever such a passion for strong drink, gradually loses his liking for alcohol as be acquires the coffee drinking hablt of'the Brazilian.
