We foupd Aunt Clara ln a humble cot- had been for yearsan Invalid, it seemed, and All tlm money she had laid by in her youthher later yearn bad found n> j for. She Jived Alone in the cottage with Aunt Polly, an old rheumatic ne- gress whom she bad bought twenty- five years before, When Aunt Clara was a younger woman Doily had be­ longed to a Mrs. Bacon, with whom Aunt Clara boarded. Mrs. Bacon died suddenly and everything she had was sold at auction. Polly had become at­ tached to my snnt, and begged so hard that she bay her that my aunt actually paid the last dollar she had in the world for her. Then she rented the cottage, and there my aunt and Dolly had lived for twenty-five years, and grown oldto­ gether as mistress and slave. But very little Dolly knew about, slavery, I .teasit would have been hard to have vold whieh was mistress in the cottage. Aunt taught in the public schools for a number of years, and Doi^y cooked, took care of the cottage and sold hot coffee; sandwiches, pies, cakes and ap­ ples at the depot. Her round, black face had been a familiar sight there for many years.4' My aimt’s had been : suJifatklat she had ceased teaching fully tenye an before and Dolly had proved the prop o f herdeclining years. Ann* Dolly mpt us sjthe door. “ Prow your Souls, honeys! Is yon da nieces ob toy ole mbwus? You aln’ come none -too.soon. \Sha mote gone to de Hebbenly sho'." Tears were roll­ ing down Aunt Dolly’s cheeks. She took us directly to Aunt Clara’s bedside.

There were coins there that had Pot seen the light of day for twenty-fire yearn.- The next day we paid off the .mortgage. Shortly after Dolly wished to go back and visit the cottage, and we looked pur house and returned to NushviUs.

Those individuals whose Uvea are lengthened through these means form *o numerous a class ip the entire aggre­ gate of humanity that the average **• peetation o f human life has bee* lengthened; and this is shown by the tables of the “ expectation of life" o f the life insurance companies. Since these tables were first prepared by * careful collation of statistic* o f ages at death of large numbers of individu­ als, the average time of death has been postponed beyond the date set in these tables, prepared something like a cen­ tury ago. -I t has for many years been a contro­ verted question whether total *bstl* nence really is a factor.in lengthening the lives of thosewho observe it. Ereiy- body admits that great exeesn in the use of liquors shortens life. The fact is too patent to common observation for anyone to deny it successfully. But the position has been-maintained^by- many that the moderate use of liquor* is beneficial, and to soma extent aids lit prolonging life itself. The large amount Of data necessary to settle this question has never been accumulated until last year) when an English -life insurance company mode public the statistics which it had been fora numberof years gathering, upon this one point. * This company had been in business tor twenty-five years, and ha*, for that period, kept two sets cf reoOrds of the. persons insured in itr-the onecomposed o f total’abstainers, and ail other risks In the other. As is well known, no life* insuranpe company aooepto risks on the lives of heayy drinkers; and this com­ pany excluded also from this record list all persons engaged in the liquor traffic, iHence we have, in these two records, a comparison between total abstainers and ‘“ .'moderate . drinkers”—the very class for whom it has beenclaimed that illqbor was always not harmful, and often.directly beneficial. The results collated by the company sfford u* tlie, first reliable data for determining the action b f’ moffetatd' drlnkibg upon'the length o f human life. - \ • ■ ..'s ‘ ' For tfie five .years ending December, 1888;'tbeJsbdve thentibhfid Cbmpanyin- snned iiitm Uresintbe “ totsl abstinenoe section,” jsnd fiJOOin th e ‘.‘general sec­ tion." as that embracing moderate drinkers as termed by thfe company. 1 lu toa ‘total abstinenoe section,’’ the deaths were pnly &7 per cent, of , the nutober of deaths'to bo expected acisord* ingtothemanal tables o f mtWtali^r.

Hr. Mendel, o f Berlin, hto bee* making a elinlgri frfsoffae inebriety. IIw studies were carried on chiefly among tho women Of the laboring classes in Eason and vicinity. H « recently pub. fished a brief account o f his researches. The victim of coffee inebriety is one ot the most miserable o f human beings. He is low spirited, sleepless, suffers fre­ quent attacks of headache, which are relieved by coffee, but speedily return. His muscles are weak, his hands trem­ ble, he has inability and, aversion for wprk, M b heart action is feeble, he suf­ fers from palpitation and great pain in the region of the heart The oomplex- donis sallow, hands and feet are cold, the face wears an anxious and pained expression. The patient suffers from a great variety o f dyspeptic symp­ toms, from inflammations of various sorts, and often acquires the red nose which is generally considered charac­ teristic of alcoholic inebriety, and hence called the rnm-blossom. Many of these distressing symptom* are temporarily relieved by stronger dose* o f coffee, only to return when the effect o f the stimulant wears off. Dr. Crothers, in referring to these re­ searches, calls attention to the fact that coffee drunkenness is increasing in this country, and th*t“ tbe coffes drinker, a fters time, turns to alcohol, and becomes a constant drinker, £s other cases opium is taken as a substi­ tute. Coffee inebriates are more com­ mon among the neurasthenics, and are more concealed because the effects of excessive doses o f coffee are obscure and ,largely unknown. Many opium and alcoholic cases have an early history o f excessive use o f coffee, and are always more degenerate and diffi­ cult to treat.”*—Good Health. LOCATION OF THE SALOON. The Kind o f B u I imm That T«apla Doat Waat Next Door. There is a world o f suggestion in the fact that very few men can be found even’among those who. uphold the liq­ uor traffic in general, and who vote for its, perpetuation, who are willing to have a saloon planted near their own doors. I t must he a cause o f sad and paldfnl surprise to * poor and'guile­ less saloon keeper, who,has been sus­ tained in bis business for years largely by th evo tes and inflUenoe o f a class o f eminently reapeetabtoaiuL well -to do people, to find how much he Is not wanted when he attempts to transfer his place o f business Intotiio midst of his eminently respectable and well to do advocate* and osympathizers. It was the lamented Artemas Ward who said that after long experience he had , found .that the only; Comfortable place to have,a boil waa on some other man. So the general‘feeling seems to be that the only good location-, for a saloon Is ne^t to spmeother maq. The situa­ tion is such, however, that, as a rule, only those who have wealth- and influ- eu«^;ait*|able, fo dictate theapeation of saloorls-^-to put them next to some other man.
