Hint I'Imii AsxH'lailon. PIUIT San rrauclseo Argonaut: Military men generally recognize a necessity for Ktlmiilant other than lea and coll'ee for soldier. Such additional stimu lants are required lo revive tired troop Just before a battle, after forced march es, or after long lighting. I'm- ihls pur pose any form of alcoholic beverage Is not appropriate. Not only does the al low ami' of such beverage cultivate drunkenness, but the stimulation Is dis orderly, and Is followed by n depres sion that I apt lo render the men In capable of duty. Mir War Ieparttuent look for stimulant. In art Icles that do not Intoxicate and do not cause de pression. Itccf lea Is highly stimulat ing, and ha long been recommended, but It falls of complete sallsfacloriuess. So docs the famous coca plant of South Anicrlcii; It active principle, cocaine, destroy the mind when taken contin ually. There I another vegetable prod uct, however, which ha a similar elll ca.y, without any Injurious properties. This Is Hie kohl nut, which ha been known to the negroes of Africa for more than one thousand years. Our War liepartincnt Is contemplating ex periment wltli It.

The lea drinking luibli that only a few year ago wa supposed to be an lulalllble sign of an old maid, now uuiiibcts among Its votarlc many men who, for otic reason or another, think lea better Hum more potent drink.

The walls should be warm, red brown lint, or be covered with some warm colored paper, with a sim ple, formal design. ty far the most effective furniture for the dining room Is mahogany, but this Is costly. With mahogany out of the question, pretty effecls can be got which will make the room rich, with well made oak furnl lure, provided It is simple lu design and hot dlstlgurcd with machine carv ing aud glued ornaments. A hardwood Moor costs no more than line carpet, and Is tar more appropriate.

In A htory of (.ail Hamilton. A capital atory of tin- power of a bright woman's talk Is related by the New York Tribune. The br'ght woman was Mis Abigail Iiodg'-. better known by her pen name of Call Hamilton. A Western clergyman, cultivated, well read, but not exactly a man of the world, wa In Washington for the first time, eager to make the utmost of his holiday. He wanted to see all there was to be seen, but most of all ll desired to meet find have a word w.tli Hail Hamilton: In. I I, he conll.lcd to a friend that lie should consider such a privilege well worth his Journey to the Fust. It took him several days lo summon tip hi courage, but at last he pp'si-titcd himself at .Mr. Illaine's door and asked for Mis 'Hamilton." About three hour afterward the friend met hlin dcKooiidlng III.' steps of the house, one broad smile of delight and satisfaction. "Ah." exclaimed the conlhlant. "I congratulate you. So you have iiicu your dear Had Hamilton. I can see It lu your face." That face fell grew remorseful. "N-no," he s'auiinerc.l, "I didn't meet her- she didn't collie down, and the fact Is, 1 forgot to asW for her." "Forgot to ask for her:" "oh, I m iii up my card, of course. but a lady came down, a Mis lio.lge. and my dear fellow, you never say such a woman In your life.' I suppose Mis Hamilton must have been out; she didn't mention her, but she began lo talk to me, and In two minutes I for got what I had ...me for. I never could have believed thai any person, man or woman, could know so much. "I believe we talked on every subject In the world, and she knew everything ii limit every one of (he subjects. I was never so surprised as wheu a lot of people came In and I found bow hmg I bad been there, and I didn't want to come away th.li, I can tell you, and till you spoke.
