CHE CINCINNATI STAR. FRIDAY EVENING MAY z. 1880

the monks on the slopes of the noun
tain, and two days further west its ex-
istence was unknown. The other variety,
odd as it may appear, has a natural
flavor of milk, or, perhaps, more exactly
of butter. What is most interesting is
the fact that it is wild tea, growing in
its native elevated habitat without cul-
tiyation, and an unimpeachable instance
of wild tea-plant has, Mr.. Baber af.
firms, never yet been adduced in China.
This wild tea is found in the uninhab-
tied wilderness west of Kiating and south
of Yaehow, at heights of six thousand
feet and upward, and was described to
Mr.. Baber as leafy shrub fifteen feet
high, with a stein some four inches thick.
Every part of the plant, except the root,
is used for making the infusion; tine
wood is chopped up and put into a kettle
of water with the dried leaves and twigs,
and, being boiled, yields stronghold
ored but weak tea, possessing buttery
flavor, which gives it some resemblance
to the Thibetan preparation. Mr.. Baber
only found it in the Hwang-mu-chang
plateau. a terrace perched among the
stupendous gorges of the Tung River.
Edward Il. Hale,s Literary Work.
Boston Herald.I
Mr.. Hale makes it rule to do his lit
erary work entirely in the forenoon, and
he never begins until an hour after eat
ing. He thinks oyer what he is to say,
and gets it we'll formed in his mind be-
fore writing it down, thus saving deal
of time and mechanical labor. In this
way he is enabled to bring his thoughts
to focus ard accomplish much work in
the hours he allows himself. BY know
| ing we'll what he wants to say, he can put
it at ence in right form, and so he has to
do little remodeling and correcting.
His experience and constant practice
as public speaker have helped him in
developing the faculty of putting his
thoughts Instantly into shape, for pub
lie speaker has to be ready-witted and
know how to adapt himself to his audi
enee, or his audience will forsake him.
Mr. Hale finds that his training in jour-
nalism on his fathers newspaper was Of
great value to him in the formation of a
concised style, and in making him q
ready writer. journalist often being
compelled to send away his work sheet
by sheet to the compositor, hungry fot
copy, and, therefore, to avoid repetition,
he is obliged to keen what has already
been written we'll in mind, there being
no opportunity for turning back to refer
to the previous pages.
He makes Use of an amanuensis to
some extent, often finding tia relief to
be free from the mechanical exertion Of
writing; but, whether written by him,
self or dictated, there is no distinction
in the quality of his work. He works
without interruption, and finds that a
forced brake Of two minutes stops the train
of thought as completely as one of two
hours. Mr.. Hates essay, "The Minds
Maximum" printed in words on the
physical conditions Of mental work, and
in Chow to Do It," a volume OF papers
reprinted from Our Young Folks, there
is sound talk ON literary style in the
chapter on Chow to Write" For both
these books there is ,eady demand.

Every Maori is able to furnish himself
in all the requirements of life; he makes
his own clothes, catches his own fish and
fowl, and cooks his own dinners. Most
Of those about Wellington are educated
in the three "r's," are well off. and have
plenty oil spare time. AS a natural con-
sequence, they are greatthinkers, talkers
and politicians. At dinner given to a
hundred Of them by the Superintendent,
shortly before my arrival, twenty-five OF
them made speeches with fuency and
and self-possession, and very much to
the point. with no attempt to concea
their realoplnions. "You send your mis-
sionaries to us FIRST" said one, "and after
ward your land-sharks."

Fashion.
Herbert SpenCer.I

Fashion is intrinsically initiative. I'm
itation may result from two widely di.
yergent motives. 1t may be prompted
by reverence for one initiated, or it may
be prompted by the desire to assert
equality with him. Between the imita-
tion prompted by these unlike motives,
no clear distinction can be drawn; and
hence results the possibility of a transi-
ton from those reyerential limitations
going along with such subordination, to
those competitive limitations character.

ence.

and my only comfort is that treat him

gratitude to me, know, for what have
DONE" During the winter of lS001S01
there was great distress, owing to the
failure of the preceding harvest and
Wilberforce contributed largely to its
relief in the West Riding. The sum of
f3, 179, say his sons, is accounted for as
bestowed in charity this year; and from
an entry in his journal for the following
year (1S02) we learn that he decided to
save 940O or f5O0 annually, for distrib-
ution among the poor, by giving up his
villa for few seasons.
In 1905 Wilberforce lost his friend
William Pitt, who, he firmly believed,
died of broken heart-'the accounts
from the armies having" said Wilber-
force, "struck adeath's blow within" AL
though Wherefore had often opposed
Pitts foreign policy, their personal
friendship continued to the end. Will
berforce was one of the dozen friends
who, in the autumn of 1901, contribut-
ed $4,000 to relieve Pitt from pecuniary
embarrassment; but when it was pro-
posed to add the f12,000 to the Parlia-
mentary grant of 100000 for the pay
ment of Pitts debts on his decease, Will
berforce, as one of the creditors, strenu-
ously and successfully opposed the plan.
Indeed, he was altogether opposed in
principle to any Parliamentary grant for
the discharge of Pitts liabilities, fearing
lest it should "become a precedent"
He spent some days in f'driving about"
London, endeavoring to raise the requi-
site sum by private subscription-him-
self intending to give e1 900; Mr.. Per-
ceval also, with large family and
moderate fortune" Offering another
lhousand-but in vain, his project being
defeated by the motion in the House Of
Commons. At the public funeral Will
berforee was one of those who bore the
banner which preceded the coffin, and
as the coffin descended into the earth he
said the eagle face of Chatham from
above seemed las though in Imockery of
greatness" to look down with consterna-
ton into the dark house which was re-
ceiving all that remained of so much
power and glery-aH that remained of
his favorite son, the last perpetuator of
the name which he had ennobled.

The PROPOSITION 10 purchase the wa
ter rights on the Brandywine by the
City Couxcil is one that must recon-.
mend itself favorably to every persen
who has given the question that con-
sideration which its Importance de-
mands. 1t is true that $35, 900 looks
like considerable amount to be added
TO the funded debt Of the city, but as
population and manufactures increase,
in q few years moro it would take dsu-
bio the money to purchase them. It is
evident that they will be required in
tho end any how in order that the
growing demand for water may be met.
The city probably contains population
now approaching $4,000 which in ten
years more will be increased to 90, 900,
and in twenty years more to 5000,
provided the gradual and relative in
crease Of population for the last ten
years continues in the same proportion.
When that time arrives it will take all
the water of the Brandywine to supply
the city and the sooner Council com.
mences to prepare for it the better il
will be for all concerned.

SPEAKER RANDALL denies that there
Is intention of Tilden to Withdraw and
that he is to be hisesuccessor. On the
contrary, he says that Mr.. Tildsn ha,
already secured five States aud will
undoubtedly be the choice of the Gin
cinrati Convention. The casual observ.
or Of the movements upon the political
chess board from the signs of the timel
must come to the conclusion that Mr.
Randall is nearly correct. 0a the other
side Senator Cameron who is chairman
of the National Republican COMMITTEES
is represented as saying that General
Grant has one hundred delegates ahead
OF any other Republican candidate and
that pene other can beat him now. II
what these two representative men O.
each party say is true Tilden and Graut
will be the opposing candidates, and
Grant will have almost clear wall

What has happened to the iron trat
recently in this country Is liable to
happen to any other branch Of industry
rs the unavoidable results not Of pro-
tsction or high tariff duties, but Of wild
'speculations. The indications pointing
to such conclusions are quite numerous
and strong, and cannot be lightly dis
regarded by business men. There is no
Disgusting the fact that there is danger
of revulsion in trade in manufactures
which If not met in the right spirit will
result in untold disaster to the bust
ness interests Of our country. We need
mot 60 to Pennsylvania to see these
signs we have them right here in our
midst. Since the sudden fall III iron
the Mccullough Iron Company hau
practically closed at very convenient
time to make repairs, and it Is said Hill
Btart again with a reduction Of wages
IN some departments. If this were no.
sufficient we have ether abundant indi-
cations of a backward revolution in
trade circles. It is seen in the prol6ng-
ed corner in the grain market, which
has done 30 much injury to the export
trade Of the country. 1t is also seen
in the powerful and in many in
stances successful attempts to make
great fortunes rapidly by means
Of artificial values impaired to
railroads and mining stocks, and
worse than all it is seen in the prodi,
gious multitude Of labor strikers in al.
most every branch of business and the
suspension Of work in mills, f3undries
and workshops. The cost Of living has
vsry much increased and latoringclasses
demand more wages on consequence,
but in many instances wages have not
advanced. Nothing can be said against
regular and natural increase OF prices
consequent upon the advent Of better
times, but it is to be regretted that in
many cases prices have been dsliber-
ately forced up to an extent entirely
unwarranted by the actual demand
and merely through the agency Of a
great combination Of capital and power-
full monopoliss. Unless great care is
taken the business Of the country will
be thrown into inextricable confusion
and he is wise who will recognize this
fact in time.
