Dr. James Wood has published in The Quarterly Journal of Inebriety a report on observations regarding tbe bad effects of tea- drinking.
He states tbat out of 1,000 patients applying for treatment at the Brooklyn Central dispensary 100 exhibited symptoms pertaining directly to tea drunkenness, while many others were doubtless suffering more or less from it. The effects of tea, according to Dr. Wood, differ somewhat according to the kind taken, as be finds that the tea of India contains 2K times as much tannin as tbat of China. The headache so frequently suffered by tea tasters be attributes to tbe essential oil, of which tbe tea contains three-fourths of 1 per cent. Tea tasters drink tbe Infusion Immediately after it is made.
Dr. Wood notices a great difference in susceptibility to tea poisoning He says: "Some people are profoundly Intoxicated by indulging in two cups of strong tea per day. We find that an ounce oftsa leaves used daily will soon produce poisonous symptoms. This amount will contain six grains of theine. Of tbe 100 oases of tea poisoning mentioned by the author 69 were women and 31 were men Fifty-four drank two pints or less, 87 four pints or less and 9 ten pints or less.
Tho following symptoms were present in nearly all oases of tea intoxication: Hallucinations, nightmares, successive dreams, obstinate neuralgia, anxiety, a persistent sinking sensation in the epigastrium, prostration and general weakness, excitement and mental depression. According to Dr. Wood, tea poisoning is responsible for half of tbe headaches, and a large proportion of all oases of despondency, palpitation of tbe heart, giddiness and allied symptoms. Tbe essential oil of tea which gives out its peculiar aroma is, according to Dr. Wood, a powerful poison.
Its Injurious effects are so well recognized by the natives of China that they do not use tea until it is a year old, thus allowing this deleterious substance to escape. Green tea contains more of the essential oil than black tea, which accounts for the fact that it is more productive of nervousness. Public Health Journal. Flattery pleases very generally.

This is something npon which the State of Georgia may he congratulated. for here are no better or more thrifty immigrants than those West arn Germans.

It would be expectiag too much that extensive war operations could be conducted without more or less swindling of the Government by contractors and others tempted by the lust of gain. This war wasn't hardly a week old before we had evidence of that in tbe enormous prices asked for vessels for which the Government had need, some of which were disposed of at about three times their value: and in the food supplies which were furnished to the soldier in some of the camps. There is less of tbe latter imposition now, bc-canse attention having, been directed to it. the contractors are watched more closely and consequently cannot swindle as easily as thev did at first. But the swindling still goes on in various ways, an illustration of which i-i thnsgiven by a Mobile Vr-isrr reporter, writing from the camp at that city: "As an illustration of the inferiority of supplies a prominent surgeon said yesterday that notwithstanding a lirev ipecial appropriation was made for the purpose the (rovemnient had supplied the surgeous with surgical instruments that were obsolete fifty years ao This, be said, was without exaggeration, and the instruments were evidently east off stock of manufacturers.

Records lleraii With Abraham and Wm Collected by Bzra It Was Bora Ia the Little Land or Oaaaao Conquered Israel'! Gift to the World. New discoveries about the Bible are being made almost daily. The religious world is startled every now and then by tbe announcement that some old manuscript has been found or some clay tablet corroborating Biblical history has been deciphered. Tbe last few years have been especially notable for remarkable finds, not tbe least of which has been a single leaf of papyrus bearing a few sayings of Jesus logia, as they have been called. These discoveries arouse a questioning frame of mind.
We ask, bow did we get the Bible, whence did it come, what was the method of its transmission to us? Learned volumes have been written, but only scholars read them. One of the latest of these is by Dr. William A. Coppinger, but it is so expensive a volumeonly 150 copies have been printed for sale tbat few can read it, even if they would. Tbe much talked of polychrome Bible, edited by leading Biblical scholars of the world, is an answer to this demand.
Still, tbe question, bow did the Bible come down to us? ought to be answered briefly, so that the mass es of tbe people can read and understand. It is irreverent to the Bible and the inspired men who gave us this world classic the classic dealing with tbe eternal theme of tbe relation between man and God to think of it as a ready made volume, dropped down from heaven bound and gilt edged. The Bible was born in the little land of Canaan as the weary caravan, led by Abraham from Ur of the Chaldees, pitched its tents and the patriarch wrote down the promises of the Eternal on tbe palm leaves which be found at hand. This was more than 4,000 years ago, and that writing was in use so early is proved by inscriptions found on Egyp tian steles or Assyrian tablets from 6,000 to 8,000 years old. The records kept by Abraham and his immediato defendants undoubtedly formed the basis of the book of Genesis and the earlier chapters of Exodus, to be later utilized by the hand of Moses and his successors.
With the advent of this great legislator of the Hebrews the nation was formed, with his legislation as its heart and center. It is probable tbat Moses wrote his portion of th" iii ble upon tlio liuou usod for such pui poses in Kgypt, for many large pice es of this linen covered with hieroglyphs writing have come down to us wrapped around mummies, ine inscriptions arr still legible. The Pentateuch was the nucleus of our Bible, the only Bible known to the Hebrews for many genur at ions. It was written in the ancient Ibri character, eloselv resembling tbe Phoenician, as proved by the yiloani in scription discovered near Jerusalem and some ancient coins which have been found. Leaders like Joshua, Gideoii and Samuel were eded in the promised land.
Singers and prophets, too, arose, and the scribes of the leaders recorded what was done. The poets wrote down their best songs. The prophets' words were treasured up by their disciples and followers. Tho official records were kept in tbe national archives, and the songs of tbe poets and the speeches of the prophets were passed from hand to band. When the kingdom was divided, records were certainly kept both in tbe southern kingdom of Jodah and the northern kingdom of Israel.
But much of the earlier literature was forgotten in tbe catastrophe of the destruction of tbe kingdoms of Israel and Judah, and the exiles refused to sing the songs of Zion as they "sac by the waters of Ba bel and wept. When at Jast tbe term of exile was over and some of the more devoted Jews returned to rebuild the walls and temple of Jerusalem, the law had to be brought back to them. Ezra was the man for this work, and he and his coadjutors, tho elders, col lected the scattered records of earlier days- and mart tho first cauon of the Pentateuch. They wrote it in a new script Kethav Ashuris, the Assyrian or square character brought back from Babylon with them and read and taught it to tho people. By this time some of tho speeches delivered by the prophets of the exile, the second Isaiah and his disciples, had become so dear to tbe hearts of tho peoplo that they were esteemed as classics.
Some had preserv ed the addresses of the earlier prophets, and gradually a second set of accepted writings was added to the law. The older songs, too, were found again, and new singers were inspired for the serv ice of the new temple, and the book of Psalms became its hymnbook. The proverbs of the nation were collected by various hands. Other books were found or written as late as the second century before the Christian era. Tbe book of Daniel, for instance, was composed to inspire a people, fainting under Syrian oppression, for the Macca-bean revolution.
And all this later literature was straggling for acceptance into tbe Bible until the canon of tbe Old Testament as we now have it was established in the first century of our era by the rabbinical school of Palestine. tbe nation Israel sunk under the waves of Soman conquest the Jewish spirit held tbe Old Testament aloft as gift to tho world.
