THE EFFECTS OF TEA ON THE SKIN.
If you drop a few drops of strong
tea upan a piece of iron--a knife
blade for instance, the tannate OF
iron is formed, which is black. If
you mix it with iron filings or pull
verified iron, you can make fair ar
ticle of ink. If you mix it with
fresh human blood, it forms, with
tho iron of the blood, the tannate of
iron. Human skin soaked for time
in strong tea will become leather.
Now, when we remember that the
liquids which enter into the stomach
are rapidly absorbed by the veins
and absorbants of the stomach, aud
enter into tho circulation and are
thrown out of tho system by the
skin, respiration and tho kidneys, it
is probable that a drink so common
as tea and 80 abundantly used, will
have some effect. Can it be possible
that tanuin introduced with SO much
warm liquor, producing perspiration,
will have no effect upon the skin
Look at the tca.drinkers Of Russia,
the Chinese, and the old women OF
America, who have 80 long contin.
ucl the habit Of drinking strong teas.
Are they not dark colorcd and leath'
cr skinned? When young they are
fair complexioned.

THE PARIS HoTELs.-A Paris CORE
spondent writes: The hotels are getting
very full-very full and very unpleasant
and the Babel of tongues becomes more
strange every twenty-four hours. If all
the people come who are expected, won
der where we shall put them. Already
hotel-keepers snub you if you ask for
rooms, and lodging-letters deride you II
you offer even very liberal terms. The
ground floor Of cab seems as much as any
one can expect to get for moderate sum
and as for food, advise English visitors to
bring theirs with them, and something in
q bottle.
The Americans are doing us deal OF
bad service; they are spending their
money now as we used to do A. D. 1920,
and as the Russians did later; so they get
the best of everything, and we are sent to
the wall. They are right from their point
of view, mind. Still, it is terrible thing
to see anybody get anything which you
want yourself; so now l dislike the Ameri-
cans as | used formerly to detest the Rus

of charity and justice may, in your
opinion, merit.
During the war l was, unfortunately,
wounded and captured by the Yankees,
but very fortunately fell in General
Schwenk's hands, and received the best
and kindeSt treatment. Think We cannot
do too much for such men. The Radicals
in Congress would do well to emulate
their virtues and be guided by their ex-
amples for reconstruction.
Very respectfully yours,
JOSEPH GRAHAM,
late of Seventh Louisiana infantry,
