ORIGIN OF TEA.--The following story
concerning the origin of tea goes current
among the Chinese. Darma, son of an
Indian king, came into China about the year
6l9 of the Christian era, purely to promul-
cate his religions; and togain it the better
rneception, he led very austere life. eating
only vegetables, and spent his time In con-
templation of the Deity. The nights espe-
ciolIv, were devoted to this exercise, pursuant
to n vow he had made against sleeping. After
continual watchings for several years, sleep
overcame him; but, on waking, such was his
remorse and grief for having broken his vow,
that in order to prevent relapse, ne cut OH
his eve.lids, as the instruments of his crime
and with indignation threw them on the
Ground; but the next day he found them
metamorphised into two shrubs, now known
nv tbe name of Chaa or Tea. Darma, eating
same Of the leaves, felt himself not only more
snrigbtlv than usual, but such was the vlgor
Unmarried to his mind by these leaves, that his
mcd;totions became more fluent pithy, and
exalted, and without any lastude' Inc
nreacber was not dilatory in acquainting his
d;scinles with the excellent virtues Of these
shrubs, and accordingly the use OF them
became Scientific American

The MEDAL TO Mr.. CLAY.--The Medal
presented to Mr.. Clay is thus described:

HE MEDAL ~ hh. NLA1'-l HO neusii
presented TO Mr.. Clay is thus described:
DIVERSE SIDE.
This side has but a single feature, of
course, and that is an exquisitely finished and
remarkably correct medallion.
HEAD OF HENRY CLAY,
modelled from life, by the American sculp-
tor, MIR. T. ID. Jones, under the direction of
Mr.. c. C. Wright. This head is in very bold
relief, and is Justly considered as the most
perfect likeness of the great statesman ever
made. The head is surrounded at the verge
of the medal, by a finely executed wreath,
the intermediate surface being plain and high
ished.
REVERSE SIDE.
On this side, in plain lettering, we have
the following dates in Mr.. Clay's history:
Senate, 1906.
Speaker, 1911.
War of 1912 with Great Britain.
Client, lel4.
Spanish America, 1918 and 1922.
Missouri Compromise, 1921.
American System, 1924.
Greece, 1924.
Secretary of State, 1925
Panama Instructions, 1926.
Tariff Compromise, 1888.
Public Domain, l833--lSil.
Peace with France Preserved, 1888.
Compromise, 1850.
Around this suggestive inscription is an
cxquisitely wrought border, or wreath, re-
presenting six of the staple productions of
the country, viz Hemp, Indian corn, tobacco,
rice wheat and cotton. This wreath was de-
signed by WIN. Walcutt, and executed by
Mr. Wright.
The medal is of the largest size ever made
in this country, the diameter being three and
a half inches. The weight Of gold is nine
teen ounces, all of it pure California metal
The dies were made entirely by MIR. c. G.
Wright, and the case and all other work was
executed under his supervision. 1t was be-
gun just year ago.
TAE CASE.
This is of silver, finely engraved and chas-
cd, and is in excellent keeping with the med
case maker, In Maiden lane. On one side Of
the case is large engraving Of the Capitol
ut Washington, as it will appear when the
additions are completed. On the other side
is fine view of Ashland, the homestead of
Mr. Clay, and Il representation of the monu-
mcnt on the Cumberland road, erected in
commemoration of Mr.. Clay's unwearying
efforts as the champion of internal improve
ments. The medal is firmly set in this case,
which opens on either side.
Hoes. The bacon interest is becoming one
of the most important to the West The fol-
lowing table, which we clip from the Louis
vile Journal, will give some idea of what has
been done in this line, during last year and the
year previous:
HoGs.-The pork packing season has clos
ed, and the returns of the number of hogs
packed throughout the West, this season,
come in slowly. 1t is evident that the final
result will show deficiency, as compared
with last season, although there is an increase
in the weight of the hogs. Throughout Ohio
it is estimated that there is Il gain Of five per
cent in weight, in Kentucky about 8 per cent,
Indiana the same and in Illinois and Missouri
fully 10 per cent. The following statement
is from Cincinnati Price Current of Thursday
showing the comparative number of hogs
packed this season have not yet been received:

A New RULE OF ARITHMETIc.--Some
eminent mathematician out west has put forth
the following rule, which, like most rules,
will probably work better in theory than in
practice:
"To ascertain the momentum of mad
bull, multiply his weight by his horns and
that by the square root Of the tin pan fas-
tened to his tail. The quotient will be the
answer"

A HAPPY HOME.

The first year of married life is most
important era in tn" history of man and wife,
Generally, as it is spent, 50 is almost all sub
sequent existence. The wife and the hus-
band then assimilate their views and their
desires, or else, cOnjuring up their dislikes,
they add fuel to their prejudces and ami
mOsities forever afterward. 81 have some
where read" says Rev. Mr.. Wise, in his Bri-
dial Greetings, "of bridegroom who gloried
in his eccentricities. He requested his bride
to accompany him into the garden, day or
two after their wedding. He then threw
line over the room of their cottage. Giving
his wife one end of it, he retreated to the
other side and exclaimed,
"Pull the line"
She pulled it, at his request, as far as she
could He cried,
Pull it over"
81 can't" she replied.
"Put pull with all your might" shouted
the whimsical husband.
But vain were all the efforts of the bride
to pull over the line, so long as her husband
held to the opposite end. But when he came
round, and they both pulled at end, it came
over with great ease.
"There" said he MS the line fell from the
roof "you see how hard and Intellectual was
our labor when we pulled in opposition to
each other; but how easy and pleasant it was
when we both pulled together! 1t will be
so with us, my dear, through life! If we
oppose each other it will be hard work; if we
act together it will be pleasant to live. Let
us always pull together"
In this illustration, homely AS it may be,
there is sound philosophy. Husband and
wife must mutually bear and concede, if they
wish to make home retreat of joy and bliss
One alone cannot make home happy. There
must be unision of action, sweetness of spirit,
and great forbearance and love in both hus-
band and wife, to secure the great end Of
happiness in the domestic circle.--LadieS
