The Mystery Of Tea Dust.

The large quantity of 1886, lOl
pounds OF tea dust was shipped to the
United States last year. This prompts
the inquiry: what becomes of it?"
This is problem tea-drinkers would do
well to study. Tea dust is never,
knowingly. bought for table use. have
heard it asserted in San Francisco that
the restaurants had purchasers for see
ond-hand tea leaves. Can it be that
New York and San Francisco are put
ting on to the market home made lea.
There is no telling to what extent Amer
lean enterprise will develop talent in
any given direction. though it may be
that Chinese trickery is at the bottom
of the tea dust problem. At all events
it would be a satisfaction to the curious
to know to just what use it is put in tia,
economy Of trade. In Japan. or where
the labor Of man is toned down to the
remuneration of two dollars month.
without board. tea can be cultivated
and made to be a profitable crop,
but the profit is comparative to
the cost OF its production. At the rate
at which labor can be obtained here, it
is not asserted that tea raising is
making wealthy men of those engaged in
its culture. As Japan advances in the
way of manufacturing and utilizing her
labor SO that it asserts its dignity to
command and obtain the average wages
paid to the labOring classes in Europe,
to say nothing of America. the produce
ton of tea will probably give way to
more profitable industries. Everything
is comparative in this life. am in
formed by some Of the old residents,
who revert to the good old times before
the Empire was opened up to the out
side world, that one dollar u year was
an income that was considered of I'M
pOrtance. Then, as in Arcade, THE
rich were poor and the poor had all
things in abundance" l can conceive
that those days were the happy ones for
the people, and that as the years roll on
their ways will not be made more pleas
ant to them than in the far-Off DAYS Of
the past. Then their wants were few,
and the economical, frugal habits of a
supplemented people. who epvied no
one and who lived not for display,
brought to them more real enjoyment
than the present generation experiences.

Ozone Formed nv Light.

An interesting discovery is announced
from Paris by Nj. j. Dcssan. u French
chemist. who has been for years en-
gagged in the study of oxygen and ozone.
Tie finds that oxygen can be transformed
directly into ozone by the rays of
light. The oxygen he used in his ex.
periments was prepared from chloratc
of potash. and very pure. 1t was con
tanned in glass bell jar, which together
with all the other vessels employ ed was
coated with blackcned paperto exclude
the light and keep the oxygen dark.
While in this condition the oxygen had
no action in the ozone test with which
it communicated; but when the ravs
from an oAyhydrogen limeli9ht were re-
Elected upon the bell jar so as to- fall
upon the gas within for twenty-five
minutes. the solution of iOdde of pot
ash and amdou used as an ozone test
became blue. and indicated the presence
of that substance. The discovery, if it
be sufficiently verified, will throw con-
siderable light on the physiological ac-
ton Of our solar radiation. Engiaes,-

myself it couldn't have no more fun with
me, an so it jest quietly let up on me in
time to stop my firm.
"'Soho!' says l. Heres bully
good way fur me to kinder git a leetle
rest.' says. I'll jest keep that pistol
clapped to my ole Uranium, and breathe
like white folks the rest o. the night,
says /.
$50 I clapped Ole Belcher to my for
rid, an away went the amy. But my
arm got durn tired pooty soon, an had
to let her drop. Then the azmy'd grab
me an slap'd 60 the pistol up agin. An
that's the way we KEEP goin' fur nigh
on to three hours. Slap'd 60 the pistol
to my ole head, an away the azmy'd
skip. Then down'd come the pistol,
an back d come the amy with whoop.
1t actually got so that the wheezes that
l got rid of sounded jist like the Amy
laughin' over the smokin' hot fandangO
it was havin' with me. Bimeby l got so
cussed tired an played out that | fell
asleep. But the Amy didn't enjoy that,
an had Inc back agin in less than fifteen
minutes. Then says:
"Here goes, anyhow. I'll bust my
wuthless ole conk if tain't for nOthin'
more'n to spite the Internal amy says
/.
$50 pinted the pistol square 'twixt
my eyes. But the AMY didn't mind it
bit, but KEEP right on. That's fun
n.y. thinks l. 'Mebbe it's gittin' tired,
l says. So took the pistol down, made
a big fuss a cOckin' it, an slammed it
up agin my head oncet more. But the
amy took hold O. me harder'n ever, an
l whOOped wOrse'n Chucktowner on
lection night. An want to say right
here sOmethin' that shows the durn
cuteness and cussedness of that amy o.
mine. Two neighbors O. mine was a
havin' the amy right along the same
time that was Il rasselin' with it, an
found out afterwards that on this per-
ticker night they got dead shut Of it
bout l o'clock an went to sleep like
lambs. Now, don't you see, my amy
just went over an fetched them two
azmys round to help with the fun it
was havin' long O. me, jest as sure IS
twO's into three Oncet an one to carry.
Swell, when Ole Belcher missed fire
the second time, an the amy howlcd
an yelled as If it was q Delaware raft
man at q circus, begun to git mad.
"'Dod blast yer howlin' skin! says,
IN fix ye this time' says 1. An
jammed the pistol clean into my left
ear an yanked the trigger agin. Belcher
didn't 60 off, and the amy jest more'n
yelled.
81 slammed the wcepon down on the
floor. l was mad enough to eat it.
"'What in the name o. the great king
is the matter with that pistOl?' hoi-
Tered. Cause it never served me such
trick afore. That walked my ole wO-
man up, an she rubbed her eyes an
looked at me kinder inherent like.
"What, Belcher?' she says. sO,'
says she, 'when you was sleepin' awhile
ago. she says, 4 see the pistol in yer

Asthma in Pike.

Some one from the hoop-pole regions

tied the mules to q tree-bOx, and went

DR.. LAMSON.

DIR. Lamson, just found guilty of muir.
dering his nephew in England, is said to
have protested his innocence before
"God when the verdict was rendered.
This man was convicted of poisoning his
relative, defomed and sickly schoolboy,
for the purpose of obtaining some property
which the boy inherited. He had called
at the boarding. school where the victim
resided, and had given the latter some
capsules which he said were quinine, but
which proved to be aconite, very deadly
and subtle toxic agent The boy died
about two days after taking these pills,
and DR.. Lamson, who had in the mean
time gone over to Paris, was at once re-
called. Suspicion was directed to him
from the first, but his apparent frarkness,
his instant response to the dispatch calling
him back, and his well.feigned grief on
learning the death of his nephew, per-
suaded many that he was innocent. At
the trial, however, the medical evidence
convicted him, though it was stated that
it was almost impossible to trace aconite
in the organs and tissues after death. The
defense was that the boy had died from
natural causes, but this was overthrown
by evidence connecting his last illness
directly with the capsules, and other evil
dence which proved that the capsules con-
tanned aconite, and not quinine. The
prisoner is man of good family, but this
has not served him in any way. He has
been tried promptly and fairly, has been
found guilty, and will no doubt nave been
hanged long before the American people
know whether Guiteau is to be punished
