Moiner Williams, in the Nineteenth Century.
The causes which led TO NOLAN
med's success will be best understood
by taking a rapid glance at the condi-
ton Of Arabia at the time Of his birth.
IL must DO borne in mind that a vague
belief in one God existed among the
Arab tribes long before that event.
Nor must it be forgotten that the
Arabs and Jews we're kindred races,
speaking kindred languages, and hav-
ing kindred customs, practices and
prejudices. Driven out Of their own
land at successive epOchs by Assyri-
ans, Greeks and Romans, many Jewish
tribes settled in Arabia; and when the
Roman Empire became Christianized
colonies Of Christians also scattered
everywhere, found their way into the
Arabian peninsula, causing much
mutual attrition and Interchange OF
thought between Jews, Christians and
ATahians.
Occasionally Arab tribes we're thus
converted to the faith Of the coIonists
Unhappily, both the Judaism and
Christianity impaired in this way into
the country we're Of a debased oharac-
ter. They we're not very much better
than the forms of religion already pre-.
yaleut among the Arab tribes. Even
the doctrines Of Gods unity had been
tempered with and corrupted. No
creed worthy Of the name Of religion
existed anywhere in Arabia. Trithe-
ism, polytheism, Sab@ism, alteration
Of the u and planets, idolatry, fetish
ism, animal worship, plant worship
stone worship, superstitions Of tb,
grossest kinds, were rife in various

The Tea Cultare ia IndIa.

The SATURDAY hefieW.
There seems to be abundant reason
for the belief that, so far from the tea
plant being the distinctive and origi-
nal product of China, it has its true
birthplace in Upper India, and was
transported across the HimRlays range
into the Celestial Empire, where 1t
was cultivated in a degenerate form
very inferior to the true and parent
stock, In Assam it is still to be
found growing wild, keeping up its
purity as an indigenous growth. With
is discovery in that province it has
been thought the tea enterprise in
India had its beginning. But it is
here proved to have originated with
Colonel Kyd, who in 1880 formed a tea
garden in Calcutta with plants from
Canton-the nucleus fthe well known
Botanic Gardens. 1t met with any
thing but encouragement, being looked
upon as an unwelcome rival to the
China tea trade, then a source Of much
profit to the East India Company.
The tea plant is, il seems, to be found
growing wild in the forests and jungles
Of Upper Assam, the Sythat hills, the
Himalaya, and the great range of
mountains that extends from thence
through China to the Yang-tse Kiang.
Thea assamenois, though differing in
minor points Of structure and size, is
pronounced By botanists to be speei-
ieally identical With the tea of China.
partaking Of the characters both of
Thea cohea and Thea virdis, in its
geographical distribution as to lati-
tude approaching the plack plant, and
in its stations the green. The date OF
its introduction into China seems past
determination. 1t has always been
felt to be a matter of surpr Sc that no
mention of tea drinking should have
been made BY Marco Polo. Soliman,
an Arabian merchant, who wrote an
accounted his travels in the East
about the year $50 A. D., is quoted by
Mcpherson, in his History of Euro
pean Commerce. with India" as stating
that tea (sah) is the usual beverage Of
the Chinese; yet no other mention of
the custom has been met with prior
to the Jesuit missions to China and
Japan a little before the middle Of the
sixteenth century. BoterO is quoted
as speaking of it in 1890; Texeira, a
Portuguese, about the year 1900 saw
the dried leaves of tea at Maiaca, and
0learius in 1888 found it in use among
the Persians, VINO obtained the leaves
from China through the medium Of
the Usbeek Tartars. Tea seems to
have been first introduced into Europe
BY the Dutch East India Company,
and to have found its way into London
from Amsterdam. Tea, coffee and
chocolate are all mentioned together
in an act Of Parliament of 1860, where
in a duty Of sd is charged upon every
gallon of chocolate, sherbet, and tea
made for sale How great a novelty it
was is shown by Pepy's well known
entry, September %, 1861: 81 sent
for a cup of tea Ia Chinese drink, Of
which | had never drank before" 1t
long continued to be imported in
small quantities only, the East India
Company having purchased in 1864 for
presentation to the King two pounds
| and two ounces of tea. In 1913 they
imported Alb pounds Of tea, it being
then for the first time thought worth
their attention as an article Of trade

Death of Eight Heroic Men.
London Daily News.

Our correspond mt at Atherston
telegraphs that eight of the gallant
men who attempted the rescue of the
imprisoned golfers at Baxterley have
died Of the injuries they received, and
that four or five others are not ex-
pected to recover. The attempted
rescue was one of those heroic efforts
for which men seem always to be ready
when the call for them comes. A
number Of men working nearly a mile
underground from the pits mouth
were cut off by fire which broke out
half way between them aud the shaft
AS Don as their pitious position was
known, Mr.. Dugdale, the owner of the
mine, Mr.. Parker, the manager, his
son, with Mr.. G. Day, the head
deputy, and his two sons
and several other persons descended
to explore. While they were down
several explosions occurred, from
which all but three escaped with
much injury. AT once another group
descended. Among these we're MIR.
Stokes, the inspector of mines; Mr..
Spruce, engineer; Mr.. March Hall end,
and Mr.. I. H. Mortram. They were
able to rescue Mr.. Dugdale and the
two men who, like him, had failed to
escape; Mr.. G. Chetwynd, a volunteer
from Hall end college, specially dis
tinguished himself. Among the
eight men who have succunbed to the
injuries inflicted by the explo.
sion are two sons OF the courageous
head Deputy, Charles Day, who ac
companied boih exploring parties. All
these men deserve the fullest public
recognition of their self devotion.
Service such as they have rendered
thow a CLEAN of light on the gloomy
record of industrial calamities. The
courage which such deeds demand is
OF the very highest order. 1t is true
herOism. The terrible risks which
exploring parties run must be obvious
enough to the men who face them,
but it is only the cases such as the
present, in which the lives which are
readily offered are cut off, that the
general public has an opportunity Of
learning what blood fetched from
father of war proof flows in the veins
Of the noble English" among our
Industrial population.

the importation Of the first birds; but
the same car which permits show
men Archaeological gardens to exhibit
ostriches could be used by private in
dividuals in getting their stock from
the Cape Of Good Hope. As to the
incubation Of the birds. there would
be no trouble about It, since for the
last five or six years the best apparatus
for Matching ostrich chicks has been
made in New York City aud sent from
there to South Africa.
1t is very probable that before long
ostrich culture will become a positive

We may expect very shortly to have
ostrich shows, and to find the strutbio

cultural fairs among the prize poultry.

of feather busters are likely 10 be
assured to us in the future.

A FIGHT BETwEEN TAEAN-
TULAS.
The Victor Makes a Meal of the
VRnquished After n Six
Hours Struggle.


IeQNer kOvi.l Afl1Nuot
Many stories have been told of the
veaonous nature aud vicious habits
OF the Arizona tarantula, but MeSsrs.
n. IL. Tammen & Co., No. 9 Winsdor
Hotel block, dealers in curiosities,
and a few of their patrons, recently
saw an exhibition of the ugly crea-
lures disposition, which shows that
he is not afraid to battle with his own
kind on an equal ground, and that he
knows how to wreak vengeance upon a
fallen foe with all the ferocity OF a
cannibal. Among other curiosities
brought here with the collection re-
ferred 20 were two OF these huge in
sects. both of which were full grown
One was ofthe brown and the other OF
the black variety. The brown fellow
was Gagged in a common cigar box and
the black one 10 a glass jar.
As they luld not be exhibited to
advantage ia contrivanees of this kind,
and as they we're not very pleasant
company to have running about loose,
a box almost two feet square, with a
glass top, was procured. on the bottom
of which a layer of sand was spread to
make the animals feel at home. The
cover was then drawn, and the two
spiders pitched into it from their
separate cages. No sooner did the
one discover the other presence than
they rushed at each other as vieiously
as two panthers, and Immediately
enclosed in deadly embrace. They
came together with a bound. and then
twiniag their long, hairy legs about
each other, rolled over andover in the
sand, biting each other ~savagely, and
then tugging with all their might, as
if endeavoring to crush each other by
sheer muscular power.
Incredible as it may seem, this sort
of warfare was kept up for six hours,
during most Of which time it could
not be seer that either was gaining the
slightest advantage, SIS neither showed
any sign Of disposition to end the
fight except by the death of his ad-
versary. AT last the black one suc-
cumbed and rolled over dead on the
sand, while the victor Immediately
proceeded to reap the spOils Of hi.
long battle. SEEKING his vanquished
enemy in his stout horns, or pincers,
or whatever Continuance he has for
that purpose, he rapidly tore him limb
from limb, and coolly proceeded, in
true cannibalistic fashion, to make q
meal of him.
In a very short time nothing was
left except a little pile Of legs and
pieces Of shell to mark the spot where
one tarantula had fallen and another
had dined.
