Concerning Tea.

The addition of few drops of lemon
juice or any other vegetable acid, rem.
ders tea more exciting and this Gus.
tom prevails among poor Chinese and
many Russians. The addition of an
alkali, on the contrary, makes tea less
stimulating, and in some measure mar
cotical. In the East some drugs are
put into tea to give it aphrodisiacal
qualities. Tea excites the movements
Of the heart less than coffee, is less hos
tile to sleep, and is less fit to sustain
intellectual labor but more than coffee
it increases the eliminative activity Of
the skin and respiration. In many per-
sons tea produces an astringent effect
on the intestines and q troublesome
constipation. The addition of few
drops of generous wine can prevent
the wakefulness which tea causes. More
than everything, experience availeth to
indicate to any one whether, from the
state of his nerves, his brain or his di-
gestion he ought to prefer tea or coffee.
In every fashion it seems to be proved
that, after dinner, the Chinese leaf
ought to be preferred to.the Abyssinian
berry. In very cold countries. and on
very cold days, and consequently with
supreme reason in the Arctic zone-tea
is the best of drinks, as all travellers
have demonstrated. DR.. Kane did not
hesitate to call tea the "great panacea
of Arctic travel" The excessive use
OF tea, especially of green tea. pro-
duces obstinate wakefulness, nervous
tremblings, commissions, cramps of the
stomach, palpitations of the heart, and
so on.

AnecdOte Of Lincoln.

The following incident related by
MIR. Murdoch, OF Abraham Lincoln,
shows the great Presidents love of
truth: .r.
Few who lived through the war have
yet forgotten the poem of the "Sieep-
ing Sentinel" which was written by
Janvier in commemoration OF an act of
clemency by Lincoln in pardoniug
young Vermont volunteer ut the very
moment when he had been led out to
be shot for sleeping at his post. i,l.i
The first public reading OF this poem
by Mr.. Murdoch took place at the White
House, the President, the poet and q
large assembly being present. ag5
Before reading the verses aloud,
Murdoch privately pointed out to Mr..
Janyier slight poetic license where he
had described the arrival OF the Presi-
dent with the pardon as being accom-
panied by the sound of rolling wheels,
whereas Lincoln had ridden on horse
back to the place of execution. ,Janvier
thought the matter Of very trifing con-
sequence, and the reading proceeded.
At its close the President and many
of the party we're in tears. Lincoln,
wiping the telltale drops from his
cheeks, then said hastily, in smothered
voice. ..r.r..r. .lt
VERY touching, Mr.. Janvier, but l
did not go in q coach"
"Oh, well, Mr.. Lincoln said Sena-
tor Foote Of Vermont, 1--WE all know
you would have gone on foot if 1t had
been necessary"
Eyes, but the fact is--and' let us
stick to the fact--I went on horseback"
insisted Mr.. Lincoln.

IA CLEVER CoUPLET.-Mrs. Joseph
Gales once gave q dinner at lexington
to Nathaniel 2. Willis. Who was one of
her special friends; he sat beside a
sprightly niece Of hers and the two be-
came very lively. A Mr.. Campbell sat
beside the hostess, and was devoted in
his attentiont to her. This, however,
did not SO absorb the aunt as to pre-
vent her from watching the filtration
going on between Mr.. Willis and her
niece. She frowned and sent reprov-
ing glances down the table until the
young lady seized pencil and paper and
hurriedly wrote and sent to her aunt
the following lines
Dear aunt-why seek my acts 10 trammel?
You strain at my Nat and swallow your Camp
bell.
This clever thrust silenced the aunt
an d secured immunity for the young
lady.

Wax in the Ear.

This is regularly secreted, to protect
the delicate mechanism from dust and
insects, and to keep it supple. 1t
should not, ordinarily, be cleaned out.
A healthy ear takes care of itself.
But certain diseased conditions of the
internal ear cause the wax to harden
and accumulate, giving rise to serious
brain symptoms. Among these are
noises in the ear, which sometimes be.
come converted into seemingly real
voices, and lead to Authorizations and
temptations to suicide. A skilled ply
stefan can remove the hardened wax
and he alone can determine its exist
ence.
Untaught children sometimes put
into their ears beans, and other small
bodies, around which the wax gathers
and hardens. A little boy pushed beans
into both ears. One was removed, but
the other remained, the parents not
being aware that there were two. Dur
ing the young mans college course,
brain disease developed, and he was
forced to abandon his studies and be!
take himself to farming. Subsequently
the bean, surrounded with wax, was re-
moved, and the symptoms in the main
disappeared, but the mans prospects
for life were ruined.
A lawyer, fifty-four years of age, was
forced to abandon his profession, as it
was impossible for him to hear either
the Judge or the witnesses. He was,
at length, however, able to return to it,
after the real cause of the difficulty was
removed with warm water injections.

SOAP Cleanliness may be next to
godliness, for all the Boston Post knows
to the contrary, but that journal fears
there may be too much of good thing.
In the Massachusetts State Work
House 1851 was spent last year for
soap; at the Reform School, S2SS; at
the State Primary School, $3.50; at the
State Aims House, $500. and so on. In
the State institutions last year there was
spent the somewhat surprising total of
81 621 for the single item of soap. This
being the case, the Boston Post wants
the State institutions to manufacture
their own soap. Let us soap they will
do so.-DetroW Free Press.
