ELIHU BURRITT died at his resi-
dence, in New Britain, Conn, on the
9th of March. Mr.. Burritt was born
in the town in which he died, De-
cember 9Th, 1911. He was the son
of q shoemaker, and received the
rudiments of a common education in
the schools of his native town. AT
the age of 16 he was apprenticed to
the blacksmithing business. While
working over his anvil, he conceived
the idea of reading the scriptures in
their original languages, and from
this beginning, he went into an ex-
tensive and critical study of the an
cient and modern languages. At
one time, he is said to have been
able to read fuently fifty-six differ
emit languages, on account of which
wonderful proficiency, be obtained
the name of "The Learned Black
smith" In 1874, he edited the
Christian Citizen, at Worcester,
newspaper devoted to the principles
of universal peace, and the amicable
settlement of all international diff
ficulties by arbitration, In 1916, he
went to England and formed the
" League of Universal Brother
hood" In 1S4S, he issued in Eng
land, work entitled, "Sparks from
the Anvil" After his return to
America, he issued ut Boston, in
1854, Thoughts and Things at
Home and Abroad" The great
aims of Mr.. Burritt's life we're such
things as cheap ocean postage, the
abolition of African slavery in the
United States, and that subject
which seemed to rule his life, uni
versal peace among all nations. In
his death, great and good man has
gone to rest.

The Coos Bay and Roseburg Wag-

The Coos Bay and Roseburg Wag-
on Road Company has just filed ar
ticles of incorporation, with capital
stock of $3.50, 900. This is good
example to our people who would
like to open up trade with the Che
halls country. If the time has not
yet come for a railroad from Olym-
pia to the Chehalis river, it is cer-
tainly time for good wagon road,
one that shall be tolerably passable
all the year. It is well known that,
during the Winter months, the peo-
pie of the Chehalis valley are nearly,
if not quite isolated from the out
side world. The combined interests
of Thurston county and the lower
Chehalis, long since required a good
overland route between the two
points. A little ambition rightly ex-
ercised would accomplish the enter
prise.

the story is greatly exaggerated, but

Some Facts about Tea.

The department of agriculture
at Washington have, from time to
time, published some very useful
hints relative to the culture of the
tea-plant, the machinery used in the
preparation of the leaves, and the
materials brought into requisition
by the expert Chinese for producing
the various shades Of color. With
this introduction to the subject, we
venture to trust that our headers will
be interested in the compilation of
a few facts bearing on this topic.
The difference in the taste and
color of the various teas is due to
the mode of preparation as we'll as
to the nature and characteristics of
the plants themselves. The so-called
green teas are gunpowder, imperial,
hyson, young hyson, and twankay.
BY drying the leaves of these varie-
ties while fresh, they retain light
greenish shade, sometimes inclining
to yellow. These yellow leaves are
carefully gathered up and subjected
to the process of being artifcially
colored. The coloring agents in
most common use are turmeric, yell
low extract Of willow bark, and Of
ten, o small quantity of Prussian
blue. The coloring materials are
brought to pulverulent state, and
the leaves, when little moist are
mixed with the greenish dust which
adheres to them and thereby pro.
duces that coveted hue so taking
among methodical housewives. The
microscope shows that this coloring
material covers the leaves very ir-
regularly, and by shaking the tea in
q canister much OF it falls off, FORM
in a dust at the bottom. Some
house-keepers account it q frugal
trick to use this dust by emptying it
into the teapot. Perhaps after read
ing this article, they will discover
their mistake. The evils arising
from the use of colored teas, how
ever, are not so serious as they were
formerly supposed to be. According
to q late analysis by DIR. Henry
Mott, the largest amount of Prus-
sian blue found in any one specimen
of tea was a small fraction only, of
one per cent. Hence, such min
ute quantity as would be taken into
the stomach of an adult, though an
inveterate tea drinker, would act
rather as tonic than as deleter-
ious agent. Finally, while it is im-
possible to detect and Illustrate all
the authorizations practiced by tho
Chinese, q point infinitely near ab-
solute safety can be reached by thor
oughly freeing all teas of the dust
they contain. This can be most eff
fectually done by slowly pouring
the tea from one shallow pan to
another in current of air; or, with
little practice, the pans can be used
as farmer uses his grain fans in
cleaning seed wheat. Let it be re-
membered that there is nothing in
the nature of tea leaves to produce
dust; this proceeds alone from the
coloring matter.

We have received a communica.
ton from Rev. J. r.. Thompson re-
lation to his discourse on the Chinese
question Sunday evening, and our
item relating to it in Mondays issue.
The reverend gentleman objects to
the statement that he " echoed the
sentiments of Eastern conserva-
tives" on this subject. He says that
his lecture was chiefly upon Chinese
Missions, and with this part of it no
exception could possibly be taken.
In his introduction, however, he
stated that there were two sides to
the question, and that as one side, the
popular one, had been pretty we'll
presented, he thought it would do
some good to state the other side.
The arguments he cited were based
upon the Importance of our present
commerclal relations with China and
the aid Chinese labor has afforded
to internal improvements in Cali
fornia. We would regret that The
crowded state of our columns pre-
vents the publication of the COM
entire, were there any
present necessity for agitation of
the question; but as it is, we have
laid it away to await the time when
Our columns are again unobstructed
by quarter-sections of stereotyped
delinquency in the form of tax-lists.
Then we will not only publish his
article, but probably enter the lists
with him for little harmless gladia-
torial display.

now under sentence of death in
Portland, arrived, a few days ago,
from Belfast, Maine, to intercede for
the life of the doomed culprit. 1t

they are in affluent circumstances
and move in respectable circles con-

sad old story of youthful wayward-

Educational Inducements.

We have said a good deal, Of late,
about immigration to our Territory
and its capital, our own beautiful
and growing CITY. Scores of our cit
liens will bear us record, By their
own correspondence, when we say
that, in every letter of inquiry sent
here by anxious seekers of informa-
ton ftom the Western and North
western States, the subject of edu-
cation and school facilities is never
omitted. Intelligent people coming
hither with Their children want TO
know all about these things, and in
regard 70 this matter, they are often
more persistent than on any other
point. "With all youc pretensions
10 milGness OF climate" say they,
with all your magnificent growth
of timber, your network of river sys-
TENS and mountain scenery, have
you that one essential TO eve'y we'll
appointed community, good schools
for our childlen?" Now, since we
heard it said a few days ago, that
one of our public schools would close
in about three weeks and the other
in five weeks, and that thereafter
neither of the districts schools would
open again till Autumn, we confess
that we should be put to our wits
cad to answer one Of these school
inquiries in a way strictly just 20 our
correspondents, and, at the same
time, most advantageously to our
town. Surely, the capital city of o
/ State or Territory, in which is sup
posed to center the vital interests of
such a commonwealth, should offer,
at least, such inducements in the way
of common school education as is
contemplated by the provefbial SUI
periority of our national school sys-
tenn. 1t is discouraging report to
say that we maintain but six months
of public school; but such report
tends 10 have more damaging effect
upon the healthful increase OF our
population than any other one thing
included in the sum total of all the
other advantages we may possess.
If anything can be done to secure
and maintain nine or ten months,
school in the year, we should like to
hear the plan suggested. The school
system is now SO perfected in even
the most backwoods districts of many
of the older States, that short in
terregnum, during the heated tenn
of Summer, is the only time that
children are allowed to run at large
in the streets. For ten months dur
ing the year, they are under such
moral and intellectual culture as is
eminently fitting them to become, 10
the highest sense OF the term, our
future states men.
We stand ready to be corrected or
instructed on this topic. If the only
remedy lies in Legislative enactment,
there is time for thorough examina-
ton of all our wants before the
wisdom of the Territory shall
have convened next Fall, and it
strikes us that few teachers con-
ventions, aided by the Territorial
and county superintendent should
be able to bring enough light out of
darkness and order out OF chaos
as to secure the object so much to
be desired.
