"The cup that cheers, but not inebriatea . , Is been the swig of poets and the solace of millions for more then an htindred yeare, and. its innocence has been almost unehal- enged during a greater porton a this tune but within the last quarter a a centur there has been a growing suspicion that th steaming: decoction has something beside comfort in it, ancl now there are hundred of scientific physieittris win) are eakin out plainly against the use a both tea an coffee, QI1 the ground that they are stimu lants whieh are capable of producing afoot upon the nervous system different only ix degree from those which arise from the us a alcohol, opium, tobaceo, and other nkr Mies and atminlants. Startling,,'i the fact may be to those who have neve had their eyes opened to the real charucter Af these common but by no means harmless dugs, it is even asserted that there are persons to be found who are veri- table tea -drunkards. Dr. Arlidge, an em- inent English physician, states that there are thousandsaf tea -drunkards among the lower classes in England, and he very for- cibly remarks as follows ;— " A portion of the reforming zeal which keeps up such a fierce and bitter agitation against intoxicating drinks, might advan- tageously be diverted to the repression of the very serious evil of tea -tippling among the poorer classes. Tea, in anything be- yond moderate quantities, is as distinctly a narcotic poison as is opium or alcohol. It is capable of ruining the digestion, of en- feebling and disordering the heart's action, and of shattering the nerves generally. And it must be remembered that it is not a ques- tion of narcotic excess merely, but the en- ormous quantity of hot water which tea- bibbere necessarily take is exceedingly pre- judical to both digestion and nutrition. Our teatotal reformers have overlooked and even to no small extent encouraged, a form of animal indulgence which is as distinctly sesual, extravagant and pernicious as any beer -swilling or gin -drinking in the world." 7.1 1/ mice froM the noxious habit.

Shoply this, that probably his wisest, surest and oheapest emirs° would be to put ; himself for the tune into the hands of a good y physician, just as if his symptoms had no e connection with tolmeco. He needs medical a aid, and he needs aid just suited to Lis huh - o videal peculiarity. g We add, however, that for aomothing to d take the place of the aecustomed quid, and also to at as a tonic on the stomaehte anbcoltsyr- a stem generally, we know of nothing than aimple chamomile. Let Jilin get a e quantity of the dried flowers and take a few - from time to time through the day. The term " tea -drunkard " is well known throughout Russia, where tea is used much stronger than is couunon in this country. A dozen cups of strong tea taken after the Russian fashion, without cream or sugar, simply flavored with a little lemon juice, in the course of a couple of hours, will produce effects as distinctly intoxicating as an equal quantity of light wine or lager beer. The leaves of the cocoa tree are used in South America in the same way that tea leaves are used in this country, and are found to possess the same properties for which tea is used. Many of the natives ac- quire the habit of chewing the leaves and swallowing the juice, instead of steeping the leaves and drinking the decoction. The cocoa -chewer asserts that his habit is a harm- less one, and affirms that by means of it he is able to work and to travel long distances with little food, which he could not do with- out it. However, Dr. Hartwig, an emi- nent writer.ildistinguished traveler, as- serts that th cocoa -chewer is affected by his practice not less injuriously than the opium-eates. In his interesting work? "The Tropical World," we find the following de- scription of a cocoa -chewer :— "He is known at once by his uncertain step, his sallow complexion, his hollow, lus- terless, black rimmed eyes, deeply sunk into his head, his trembling lips, his incoherent speech, and his stolid apathy. His char- acter is irresolute, suspicious, and false. In the prime of life he has all the appearance of senility, and in later years sinks into com- plete idiocy. /Avoiding the society of man, he seeks the, ftrk,..forest, or some soilitary ruin, and thereTor days together indulges his pernicious habit. While under the in- fluence of cocoa, his excited fancy indulges in the strangest visions, now reveling in pictures of ideal beauty, and then haunted by dreadful apparitions." Theine, the active principle of tea and coffee, when taken in any but the smallest doses, produces all the symptoms of intoxi- cation. The eminent Dr. Edward Smith, of Lon- don, in making some experiments with tea and coffee some years ago, took, with his as- sistant, an infusion of two ounces of coffee, containing so siyall a quantity of theine as only seven and one-half grains. Both fell to the floor 'unconscious, and remained in this state for several hours. A prominent official in the British army, when doing service in Africa, lost his favorite horse in a manner which was both singular and instructive. The cook left a few pounds of tea in the sack which had contained it which was filled, with corn by a Kafir groom who knew nothing of the presence of the tea,. Upon serving out the corn to a troop of horses, of course the last one received the larger share of the tea, which was eaten greedily by the hungry aniihal along with the corn. The result is thus describ- ed :— " The animal plunged and kicked and ran backward, at intervals galloping madly around, finally falling into a donge., where it lay dashing its head on the rocks, and was dispatched by an =swat: thrust through the heart The post-inorteom appearances in- dicated extreme cerebral congestion." In view of these facts is it not evident that the poetic eulogy of tea should be mod- ified by the change of one little word, so that it will read, "The cup that cheers and yet inebriates?" and is it not apparent that a thorough going temperance reformer will wish to abstain from the use of these bever- ages when he becomes aware of their real character? Br king Away From Tobacco. A correspondent writes as follows: "I have chewed tobacco for about twelve years, and would like very much to stop using it. But it has taken such a hold on me that when I cease using it for two or three days, I break down and am unfit for work. am affected like one broken down with ma- laria, chills and feter. No* is there any- thing that such a one could chew which would keep the throat and mouth moist, and in time destroy all taste for the weed ?" This difficulty in leaving off the use of to- bacco is natural. The drug effects such a change in the whole working machinery of the system that the sudden withdrawal of the narcotic arrests its proper action, or throws it into a very peculiar morbid condi- tion. It is the saine with ophun and anionic. If one leaves off his wonted use of arsenic, there will be loss of appetite, burning in the stomach, spasms in the throat, diffieulty of breathing, and constipation) but on resum- ing the drug, all these symptoms 'will cease. Such nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, mental depression, and general prostration follow the withholding of °plain that the man of the strongest will is often unable to break the chains that bind him without medical aid. There is a difference, however) in a ease of different persons, as there is a difference in the effeets tif the tobacco on them.

Visit or the puke of Edinburgh and British Men-oraWur. A Beyrout, Syria, letter to the Hartford Courant says :—The English squadron of the Duke of Edinburgh, dropped anchor in St George's bay last Tuesday, the 24th Oct. The fleet consisth of the flag ship Alexandra, the Dreadnought,the Thunderer, the Su- perb, the Temeraire, the Agamemnon, the Iris and torpedo ram Polyphemus. These ships, the most powerful in the English navy, have been cruising about the eastern Mediterranean since the blockade of Greece, and are now moving northward to the ports of Asia Minor. Durin,,e their stop at Alex- andria last week the Duke of Edinburgh was royally entertained, despite the ill -feel. ing resulting from the last bombardment. As the squadron steamed around Ras Bey rout at daylight and swung around at anch- or before the city the sight was impressive. At 8 o'clock the town was reminded of its visitors by the thunder of ordnance, which was feebly answered by the guns of the Turkish garrison, as the English flags ran up from the deck of each floating leviathan. All Beyrout seemed to rush to the water front to inspect the most powerful naval squadron afloat. In their eager curiosity hundreds put off in small boats to inspect the ships near at hand. • THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH and nearly 200 officers arranged to visit Damascw. Messrs. Cook & Co. looked after the ways and means. Every mark of res- pect has been shown the Duke, and to -day, as your correspondent was riding to Beyrout froin the mountains, he met large numbers of Lebanon soldiers mounted, who were on their way to escort the Duke to -morrow on his way from Damascus. The English vice- consul has arranged a reception for the offi- cers at his summer house at Beit Mary onthe Lebanons, three hours ride from the city. Few English and American houses on the mountains have been without a guest or two from the fleet. No photograph or description can begin to give the full impression an English fleet makes upon the beholder. The fine article which appeared last winter in Harper' s Mag- azine did all that words can do. But to pull out under the shadows of the great hulks and see the monstrous guns looking down upon you, gives a new and startling sensa- tion. Concentrated power seems embodied in everyline. In fact there is very little of i beauty n the whole fleet. Only one ship, the Iris is at all attractive but tl is ift sw cruiser (making 181 knots) is certainly a beautiful craft. She is a steel despatch has only 1 inch steel decks over the machin- ery, boilers and magazines. All the other boats are positively ugly. Every other idea has surrendered to the de- sire for efficiency. The flagship, the Alex- andra (named after England's future queen), is somewhat ornamented, but the effect is very far from pleasing. As one looks over the whole fleet he realizes that the old days of naval warfare are over—the wild, dashing days, when the ocean was made beautiful with the towering canvas of frigate and cut- ter, and when success depenped quite as much on. skill as on runs. , What to Toaeh Our Daughters. At a social gathering some one proposed this question : " What shall I teach my daughter ?" The following replies were handed in : Teach her that 100 cents make a dollar. Teach her to arrange the parlor and the library. Teach her to say "No," and mean it, or "Yes," and stick to it. Teach her how to wear a calico dress, and to wear it like a queen. , Teach ber how to sew on buttons, darn stockings'and mend gloves. Teach her to dress for health and comfort as well as for appearance. Teach her to cultivate flowers and to keep the kitchen garden. Teach her to make the neatest room in the house. Teach her to have nothing to do with in- temperate or dissolute young men. Teach her that tight lacing is uncomely as well as injurious to health. Teach her to regard the morals and habits, and not money, in selecting her associates. Teach her to observe the old rule: "A place for everything, and everything in its place." Teach her that music, drawing, and paint- ing are real accomplishments in the home, and are not to be neglected if therebe time and money for their use. Teach her the important truism : "That the more she lives within her income the more she will save, and the further she will get away from the poorhouse." Teach her that a good, steady, church- going mechanic, farmer, clerk, or teacher without a cent is worth more than forty loaf- ers or non -producers in broadcloth. Teach her to embrace every opportunity for reading, and to select such &mks as will give her the most useful and practical infor- mation in order to make the best progress in earlier as well as later home and school life. boat, does not carry any heavy guns, an How Languages are Formed. It has been a perplexity to scholars how such a vast variety of languages and dialects can have originated in our world, especially if they all grew out of one original tongue. Mr. Horatio Hale says in Selena that the perplexity will be removed if scholars will look low enough, and take in children as well as adults. give e several striking cases of groups of ehildren accustomed to play with each other, and left mostly to themselves, who formed langages which they used with per foot freedom and understood with ease, but Which were quite unintelligible to othere. If children can do this in play, it would be a simple matter for adults, placed in an isolated position, and cut off from com- munication with the rest of the world, to make a new language for their own bene - Mr. Hale offers some subistarititd arru- merits to proVe that language -speaking hien have tot existed in our World for More than even thousand years.

Mr, Rogers is also in correspondence with the Govern- ments of other foreign countries in connec- tion with the same matter. It is said that the appointment of a suc- cessor to the late Bishop of Saskatchewan rests with the Archbishop of Canterbury, there not being a sufficient number of self- supporting parishes in the diooese to enable the synod to hold an election; The names of Dean Grisdale and Archdeacon Pinkham, of Winnipeg are prominently mentioned in connection with the vacancy. A young man named Desrochers, eighteen years of age, while embarking in a canoe at Baie St. Paul to go on a hunting expedition, in taking his seat moved the trigger of his n either with his foot or with an oar. The gun was fired, ancl the charge lodged in his abdomen. Sonie of his friends who were near came. instantly to his relief, but he died a few minutes later in great suffering. Arrangements have been completed for the establishment in the North-West of a training farm for boys and girls from the homes of Dr. Barnardo in England and Eas- tern Canada. The farm will be situated at Birtle, where a block of about five thousand acres has been secured. The erection of the necessary buildings will be proceeded with at once and the first party of boys brought out next Spring. Mr. George J. Bliss, of Fredericton, N. B., who has actively opposed the introduction of ritualistic practices and innovations in Christ Church there, has taken an action for defamation of character against Rev. Mr. Montgomery, of Kingsclear, who is sus- pected to be the author of a letter in The Church Guardian, accusing Mr. Bliss of trumping up a series of false charges against Rev. G. G. Roberts, the rector Of Christ Church. A vigorous agitation is in progress at St. Baby Superstitions. The day of one's birth is no doubt an oc- casion of interest to one's • iznmecliate stirroundings, to the progenitors especially. But that the particular day of the week on which the birth takes place determines the character and fortunes of the child is an assumption hoary with age. Children born on Sunday are said to have the power of second sight or clairvoyance. If a new -barn babe has a particularly old look you can conclude that it will not live to grow up. I you have its picture taken be - for it is a year old it will meet with the same sad fate. The same is said. of children who are allowed to play with flowers or who are taken inside a cemetery at this early period of life. Furthermore, a child under twelve months old must not be allowed to see its image in the looking -glass for fear of its becoming vain later in life. If you look over a child's lead it will not grow any more. If little children kiss each other before they can speak they will never learn anything. If a little daughter resembles her mother she will never have a particle of good luck in all her life. If a girl -baby is given its mother's name it will not live. The same is said of a son who is named after his father. If, in spite of all the threatening perils of infancy and y uth, in spite of all bad omens and evil spirits, the child has grown to maturity, a :whole world of dangers will open before him, and he must learn to read many signs and portents if he wishes to keep the good luck that has thus far attend- ed him. ••••=14•41114.--1Wisem.44,-..—.

Four Hundred Years Ago. The Earl of Northumberland in the time of Henry VIL had three country houses, but he had furniture for only one. So, when he moved from one to the other, he had to take his beds, chairs, tables, and kitchen utensils with him. The servants who thok care of the pots and pans and such like were caned the black -guard, arid, as they were the lowest of all the household, that name came by degrees to mean any kind of low, wars°, rude person. The earl and his lady had for breakfast daily a quart of beer, &quart of Wine, half a chine of -boil- ed beef or mutton, or, on fasting days, salt - fish, red herrings, or sprata. For dinner they would somethnes have chickens, geese, pork, or peacocks. A chicken cost a half- penny, a goose threepence or fonrpence, pheasant or a peacock a shilling.
