 I BEALTH. A^HiaToper. " The cup that dieers ba( iiot inebriateB" has been the soiig^ of poets sQid the acAAcepi millions for more ibia an hmndred yeats, and its innocence lias been almost anchitl- lenged during a greater portion of tiiis tiihe; but. within the last quarter of a century there has been a growing suspicionthat the steaming decoction has something besides comfort in it, and now there are hundreds of scientific physicians who are speaking out plainly against the use of both tea anil coffee, on the ground that they" are stimu- lants which are capable of producing effects upon the nei-vous system different only in degiee from those which arise from the use of alcohol, opium, tobacco, and other nar- cotics and stimulants. Startling as the fact may be to those who have never had their eyes opened to the real charecter of these common but by no means harmless drugs, it is e%'en 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 thousands of tea-dmnkards among the lower classes in England, and he very for- cibly remarks as follows â€" ' ' 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- â-  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 tlie en- ormous quantity of hot water' which tea- bibbers necessarily take is' exceedingly pre- judical to both digestion and nuti'ition. Our teatotal reformers have overlooked, and «ven to no small extent encouraged, a form .of animal indulgence which is as distinctly sesual, extravagant and pernicious as any Leer-swilling or gin drinking in the world. " The term " tea-drunkard " is well known .throughout Russia, where tea is used much stronger than is common in this country. A dozen cups of strong tea taken after the Ruusian 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 whicli tea is used. Many of the natives ac- quire the habit of chewing the leaves and s.vall jw.ng 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 and distinguished traveler, as- serts that the cocoa-chewer is affected by his practice not less injuriously than the opium-eater. In his interesting work, "The Tropical World," we find the following de- scription of a cocoa-chewer â€" "He is known at once by his uncertain step, his sallow complexion, his hollow, lus- terless, black rimmed eyes, deeply sunk into .hij head, his trembling lips, his incoherent speojh, 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 dark forest, or some soilitary ruin, and there for 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 tloses, produces all the symptoms of intoxi- cation. The eminent Dr. Edward Smith, of Lon- don, in making some expei'iments with tea and coffee some years ago, took, with his as- sistant, an infusion of two ounces of coffee,' containing so small a quantity of theine as oidy seven and one-half grains. Both fell to the floor unconscious, and remained in this state for several hours. A prominent otiicial 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 animal along with the corn. The result is thus describ- eil:â€" " The animal plunged and kicked and ran backward, at intervals galloping madly amund, finally falling into a donga, where it lay dashing its head on the rocks, and was dispatched by an a-t-'^enai thrust through the heart. The post-morteom 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 y- 1 inebriates?" -and is it not apparent that thorough going temperance reformer will wish to abstain from the use of these bever- ages when he becomes aware of their real character stomach, spasms in the throat, difficulty of breathing, and constipation, but on resum- ' in^Klie (Uiig, all these symptom* will cease. ^kHx nausea, vomiting, diarrhoaa, mental depressioot^'^d genenu yaostrstion follow tKe' witblHilSfaig of ^um ^hat ffae aoan rf the,^4)tToq|pist will is often unable^ break tixe ^ainp that bind him without rttedical There is a difference, however, in a case of different persons, as there is a difference in the effects of the tobacco on them. These effects are greatly worse in brain-workers, the highly cultivated, and men of nervous temperament, and it is in just these classes that we find most of those who seek deliver- ance from the noxions habit. To Canadians and Americans ,with their highly developed nervous organization, tobaccois more harm- fulthan to any nation. What answer, then, shall we give our suf- fering correspondent Simply this, that probably his wisest, surest and cheapest course would be to put himself for the time into the hands of a good physician, just as if his symptoms had no connection with tobacco. He needs medical aid, and he needs aid just suited to his indi- vidual peculiarity. We add, however, that for something to take the place of the accustomed quid, and also to act as a tonic on the stomach and sy- ' stem generally, we know of notning better J than simple chamomile. Let him get a I quantity of the dried flowers and take a few from time to time through the day. HEEE AITD THEEE. bnrial ground Martyr, cpni))|i% bom to the purple.

A correspondent writes a^foUows "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. I am affected like one broken down with ma- laria, chills and fever. Now 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 drag 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 morlnd condi- tion. It is the same with opium and arsenic. If one leaves off his wonted use of arsenic, there will be loss of apj^tite, buroiog ia the Montreal wants a new graving dock.

To the north and west of us â€" all over that vast country of which so little is even now known, the Hudson Bay Co. and its faithful servants, the Indians, are engaged in the fur business. From the shores of Lake Superior up to Hudson's Bay and away to the, Arctic Circle, through lonely Labrador and the untrodden wa^s that lie under the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, the trading posts of the Hudson Bay Co. are to be found, and to these posts the Indians repair after the long winter's hunt, and barter their furs for what- ever the Company likes to give them. The march of civilization has driven the fur hunters further north and west. Still an immense trade is done in the far north and will continue until civilization can make some use of the barren rocks and stunted vegetation of that inhospitable country. Just now the prices paid for raw furs are by no means steady. "This is, no doubt, due to the unsettled state of Europe where the great bulk goes. A war in Europe would spoil the trade for a time, and prices M-ould faU. Self-Sacrifice. If we analyse the acts w^e instinctively approve in ourselves and applaud in others, we shall find that many of them Jnvolve a certain degree of self-sacrifice, while those which we deplore in ourselves and criticise in others involve some kind of self-indul- gence. The man who risks his own life to save another from the sinking vessel or the burning building, he M^ho devotes his youth and energies to a philanthropic enterprise, he who habitually sacrifices his ease and comfort to soothe the declining jrears of an aged parent or to cheer the sicV-bed of a wife or friend, awakens sympathy and ap- proval from all. This instinct of our nature sufficiently proves the praiseworthiness of sacrifice and its value as a means of human progress. ham; see how broad it is between the horns, and see the color and the curl on its forehead: That's a genuine Durham, sure.
