Az EARLY BEEAKrAsT-A joke is told on one of
the young gentlemen school teachers of Doniphan
County. He teaches in a country District, which
shall be nameless-we will call it the GLADDEN. Dis
trict for short. One night recently, he WAS awak-
ened in the night by hustle and talking in the room
below. Thinking 1t was almost day, and that the
family had got up for early breakfast he arose
and dressed himself and went down. He found sew
ersl of the neighbor assembled, but still did
not smell mouse or see him floating in the air, or
nip him in the bud, but sat down by the stove, and
fell to reading newspaper. Tho women commence
ed snickerins. and finally one of them went to the
bed, and yanking from under the cover fresh baby
came and laid it upon the young mans lap, He
having served . term q student of medicine, then
realized the situation, and skun back to bed.

How Teas Are Adulternted.

1t is pretty generally known that the
orthodox teas prepared in the East for
American and European consumption
are adulterated, but comparatively few
people are aware of the extent TO which
this adulteration is carried on, or what
substances are used. NJ. Hussen. n
French chemist of note, has made a
thorough investigation of the subject.
and the result of his researches has been
laid before the Academy of Sciences.
He finds that Prdssian blue, indigo and
gypsum, in small quantities, are the
principal ingredients employed to i'm
part the " face" or "bloom," to teas,
and that in the proportions used they
are very innocuous. This adulteration
takes place where the plants are raised;
but more extensive adulteration is SUBJ
sequently indulged i'll by the Europeans,
who, with their superior knowledge,
have surpassed the Asiatics in their
fraud by the use of still more dangerous
drugs, such as chromate of lead and ar
senicate of copper, besides making use
of comparatively innocuous substances,
such as sulphate of iron, stearite, car
Donates of lime and magnesia. The
Chinese have become most expert in
manipulating green teas, which they

of them poisonous-for example, plum
bago, Prussian blue, curcuma and kao-
lin. With or without the true leaf of
the shrub, they can produce tea of any
desired tint. In order to give the in
ferior or false leaf the aroma of the tea,
the Celestials mix o quantity of it with
certain flowers, especially species of
olive. In short, according to M. Hus-
sen, no injurious proceeding is omitted
in the Celestial empire to palm on the
outer barbarian inferior or false teas.
In the leading tea-growing districts the
Government has q corps of inspectors
who are required to see that the goods
are dispatched in a pure state. The
precaution, however, avails ittle-for at
the shipping ports there is no attempt to
prevent the merchants, or brokers, from
commencing their fraudulent practices,
which they carry on to their hearts
content. In spite of their knowledge of
the extent to which this adulteration is
carried on, we presume our people will
continue to drink of the cup which is
said to cheer without stealing away
persons brains

When her mild eyes grew tired Of reading

Not Too Thin, but Too Short.

A tramp just arrived in the Island City

his raiment was in tatters except his
pants, which were foot too short,

and he was marching him off, when the
tramp laughed, and said:
" Galveston is the funniest town I've
struck yet"
What do you mean by that ?'
" We'll, everywhere else the police ar
rest you if they see fit, but here they
arrest you if they don't see fit," and he

A "Reminiscences OF Gen, Scott,

One evening during the early days Of
our "late unpleasantness" there was to be
m exhibition of Grammar School No. IA
III New York City. / arrived late ut the
school building, and found several dis
tlngnished looking visitors on the plat
form OF the hall. Among them was one
whom L at once recognized by the pOr
traits l had seen of hint was Major
General Scott, the hero of the Mexican
war. He was in full regimental5, and
sat In m arm chair u little to the right of
the center Of the stage-a very grand,
large man, with snowy hair and whis-
kers. He gave the most hattering, the
most rapt attention to the reading of
every composition, to all the singing
declaration--every exhibition of skill,
however perfectly or imperfectly done.
The presence of SO distinguished q visi-
tor stimulated some to do their best,
while it scared others into doing their
very worst 1t was on the whole, how
ever, q brilliant success.
After the exercises the president of our
local board of school officers approached
the Generals chair and said something
to him. We knew he was asked to make
u "fcw remarks" and wondered if he
would consent. TO our great delight,
there were evident signs of compliance;
the old hero commenced to rise. One of
the school officers approaching his chair
on the opposite side offered to assist him.
Ho declined assistance, but when the
gentleman persisted and made IN ut
tempt to take hold of his arm, General
Scott impaticntly and imperatively put
him aside. Those near the platform
heard him say, "I need no assistance
no assistance-only give me little
time" The process of getting straight
ened up on the part of the General was
very slow, but not jerly or trembling
one, and suggested rather rheumatic
infirmity than the stiffness of age, though
he must have been over seventy. How
Immensely tall he seemed rs he stretched
his majestic figure higher and higher un-
til he lowered half q foetrOr more above
the men around hinli Then he was in
troduced to the children, and the
tumultuous applause of hundreds OF
small hands greeted him from every part
of the immense hall. Theapplause con
tinued until the principal touched the
bell. The General waited until the
silence was perfect, and then he said, In
81 clear, ringing voice, "Youths and
maidens for over half-hour he
held forth in majestic simplicity of
style never to be forgotten by any boy or
girl who heard him, though there was
nothing very original about anything he
said. He praised and encouraged the
pupils and aroused them TO new effort.
He compared their educational advan-
tages to those of other lands, and with
those of this country fifty years ago. 1t

dren call "goody speeches. IN. Y

L" Potatoes and Point.0

Says writer in Notes and Queries: I
have always understood that it meant eat
ing potatoes only and pointing to bacon
hanging on the wall. I have heard q
variation of it. -Four Irishmen, wishing
to live frugally, bought lot of potatoes
to eat, and red herring to rub them on
to give them a flavor; but, finding this
used up their herring too quickly, they
got another, which they put into bot
tie, and rubbed their potatoes on the out
side of that.
There is another saying as common rs
potatoes and point" To one asking
what he can have to eat, it is considered
very clever to say, "Bread and pullet."

A Horse on a Railroad Trestle.

The freaks of drunken man take turns
that surprise everybody, themselves in
cluded. Thenewspapersc chronicle many
Of the insane freaks, but none more SEN
sational than the performance of James
Streden, au employe of the Bay View
rolling mills, James had been up at
West Bend attending gathering of
friends, and in driving his one-horse
buggy through this city toward Bay
View switched off from Kinnickinnick
avenue, in the Twelfth ward, and. took
the st. Paul railroad track to cross the
Knnickinnick river on the railroad
bridge. The bridge has for bottom
only ties placed abont twenty-five inches
apart, and the task of walking across on
dark night like it was is quite tick
lish one, even for o sober man. For q
horse, and especially for horse con-
trolled by q drunken driver, the task is
well-ni9h impossible. Streden, howev-
er, was not sober enough to take IN q
greater fact than that bridge lay be-
fore him and must be crossed. There
fore, when his horse hesitated for mo-
ment, he applied the whip, and the no.
ble animal commenced his perilous trip
across on the bridge ties. Cautiously
and very slowly the horse felt its way,
step by step, till he had nearly compile.
ted one-half the distance across, when
the drunken man became impatient and
struck the animal with his whip. A
false step, stagger and final plunge
told the story of the horses drop Of if
teen feet into the water below. The
wrench and swapping Of the harness and
thills threw Streden out, and he, happi-
ly, followed the horse into tho chill wa
ters of the muddy river. Officer Weis-
ner and Mr.. Davidson heard the double
splash, and ran to the river in time to
see the horse swim out and Chamber up
an incline to the dock, while Streden,
now nearly sober, was making efforts to
keep his head above water. To draw
the man to the shore was but the work
Of moment, when it was found that he
had suffered some scratches and bruises,
but, with the inexplicable luck of
drunken man, he had no bones broken
and had suffered no internal injury.
The buggy, which remained lodged be-
tween ties on the bridge, was the most
used-up member of the trio, and was re-
moved before the next train was due.-
