Two Kinds of Saints.

"Ah, this is sad life!!" SAID La
Povera; II often think am like the
Sorellaccia (bad sister,, and hope to
be happier up there" pointing
heavenwards.
"Who was the Sorellaccia ?" l
asked.
"Have you never heard: It is one
of cur Pistoiese legends, and I am
often comforted to think of it. There
were once two sisters and a brother.
The brother became friar, one sister
also took to the religious life, and be-
came nun but the ether one mar
ried, became mother ofa large family
and had hard life,-like me-" sighs
the Povera, kissing the tiny baby on
her lap. 1.-THE others used to cali her
Sorellaccia, because she made no
religious profession"
Once the brother came to see her
on a Sunday, and found her in her
old gown, doing housework.
"What!" he cries, "are you not 90
ing to church,"
ITO church," she says. "Who's
to cook my husbands dinner, and
feed the baby, and mind all the
children if I go away"
"Rut." asked the frate, quite horri-
fed, ::'do you never go to mass?'
"The last time 1 went was before
the baby was born, about month
SINCE"
"Well," said the frate, ''go to-day,
and [ will stay here and mind the
house and children"
Away went the Sorellaccia to mass,
and the frate was driven out of his
mind with the crying children and
the troubles of the cooking, till, when
she came home, he said,-
''Thank heaven, you are back |
again before go mad! There, sister,
if you have patience to put up with
this every day, you certainly go a
long way toward earning your rest in
heaven"
Soon after this the frate died and
went to heaven, where st. Peter was
so pleased with him he made him
aoorkeeper under himself. One dag
St. Peter called OUT
!"Open the doors wide,-as wide as
you can,-for the great saint is conf
lng!"
So the frate flung open the gates of
heaven, expecting to see a bishop Or
abbess enter in state; but what was
MS surprise when his Sorellaccia
came in, with beautiful white robes,
md a happy smile On her face, and
st. Peter himself made her welcome
ike queen; for he said: "She has
las done her duty in that state of
ife to which she was called, in dill
,ence.and patience"
After while St. Peter said again.
"Open the gate"
Must I open WIDEN asked the
rate.
"No; a little bit will do; this is not
much of saint"
But when she came it was the holy
lister, who had always led a religious
ife in a convent! And this set the
rate thinking that God does not
udge as men do, and that outward
'elIgion is not much in his eyes.

Panama Notes.

PANAMA, May 23.-It is considered
desirable to have an American ship
placed at Guayaquil. The denoue-

nature, and bloodshed, rioting and
destruction might be prevented by a
show of force.
Reliable reports state that many
soldiers are deserting Veintimilla.
The commander of the fort below the
city fled after spiking the guns and
removing the ammunition, and an
other officer on duty up the river
turned over his entire command to

Kentucky Republican Conven-
ton.

LEXINGTON, May 23.-After the
opening of the convention the col
ored choir sang "Nearer My God To
Thee" At the afternoon session
Walter Evans was elected permanent
chairman. The platform re-af1irms
the declaration of Republican prin-
ciples set forth by the National Re
publican Convention held at Chicago
in 1880. 1t atiirms that the only
sure foundation Of Republicanism is
intelligent citizenship, and that it is
the duty of this Stat and fine peo-
pie to provide free schools for all
children of the State, and when such
schools are provided all con-
stitutional means should be used to
compel parents to give their children
the benefit of education. 1t favors
the adjustment of tariff that will
only provider evenue sufficie1 to de-
fray the expenses OF government,
but that affords a just and reasonable
protection to the industrial classes of
our country without being oppressive
to the agricultural and other interests
of our people. 1t insists upon prompt
and suitable steps towards the call OF
convention to amend constitutional
provisions. 1t believes in the enact.
ment of just laws and their
speedy and impartial enforcement,
and by encouragement, from enlight-
ened public sentiment. 1t welcomes
immigration to peaceful, quiet homes
among US, recognizing the fact that
the ancestors of some of Kentucky's
noblest and most patriotic citizens
had their birth Place in the green
Isle of Erin. We extend to the
people Of Ireland our warm m
bacco, and recommend to the Con-
press of tie United States an imme-
date change of all laws affecting its
production, manufacture and sale,
and denounce the present Democratic
governor for encouraging the criml-
nal classes.

Tea in Japan.

The firing and preparation of tea
for market, as practiced in Japan, is
as follows: The Japanese green tea
may be divided into three general
classes-colored, uncolored, and bas-
RETIRED. The leaf used for all these
is from the same plant, differing only
in quality, condition. etc. All teas
used by foreigners are first fired bv
the natives in the places where
grown. 1fa grade of colored tea is
to be made, this fired leaf -four or
tlve pounds) is taken and put into
iron pans or bowls, which are
heaten sometimes up to a tenn
perature of PIP deg. Fahr, The
leaves are then rapidly stirred by
hand against the smooth iron sur
faces some twenty minutes. A tea
spoonful Of thoroughly pulverized
soapstone (saponite) and five grains
or so OF powdered Chinese indigo are
placed in the pan, and thoroughly
rubbed into the leaf for about twenty
minutes more, when half teaspoon
full of soapstone or gypsum and pull
verized tamarack bark IA species Of
larcb) is added, and the stirring and
rubbing is continued for about twen-
ty minutes more. It is then put in
to pans and simply cold-rubbed
against the iron surfaces until it has
the required polish, which is arrived
at in from forty minutes to an hour.
This is the ordinary way of preparing
colored tea. Other materials are per-
haps sometimes used, but so far as
[ can learn, all are as harmless as
these m sntioned. The different man
utactureB, of course, vary the pro-
cess little now and then to produce
slight changes of color. The leaf is
then run through three to five sleeves,
till all the dust and loose coloring
matter is separated. The shrinking
is about twelve per cent. This color
ing is considered beneficial to the
leaf, tending to preserve its shape and
flavor. There can be no doubt that
the japanese prepared teas are far su-
perior ia purity to the Chinese. In
colorlng Chinese teas various drugs
are used that are deleterious to health
unless it be that the heat to which
they are subjected render them innoc-
uous. Prussian blue is frequently
used instead of indigo in their green,
and black lead in their black teas.
Uneelored teas are made in the same
way and quantities, and rubbed
against the iron pans until the sur
faces have the desired polish, and are
then sifted until nothing but the
whole leaves are left. Basket-firing
is done in bamboo baskets shaped
like our hour-glasses,
which are shaken over hot pans.
The leaf is put into the upper lobe of
The basket and worked into the low
er, and so, back and forth, until fin
shed. The loss Of weight is about
three per ceEt.-CHr0niclc.

This pretty picture of springtime
in the far South is from the Louis
vile COuyier-JoMnal: "The ideal
spring is realized in the Gulf States.
1t begins before the date OF the as
Economical and scientific spring.
March comes in crowned and glori-
fed with flowers. The woods are
fragrant with the breath of flowers,
and what flowers and what revela-
ton of spring is there! The flower
ing trees and the roses are the glory
of Southern springtime. The atmos-
phere is green and golden, and pink
and rOseate with the varying bloom
mingling with the tracery of leaves.
Yelled in cleaning white, trees
stand like brides, trembling, ex.
pectant, beneath superabunGant nup-
tial lace; through the tangled green
cry there is flush of pink from the
thronging blossoms of the Judas
tree; every stump and PROSTATE tree
is clasped by the eager tendrils of the
yellow jessamine, which springs to
each convenient tree and enrobes |
it like a king in cloth of |
gold, crowns it with a golden crown,
and hangs in lordly festoons among
the gray Spanish dress, each flower
passionately diftusing its exquisite,
odor. Your feet crush !
the large blue and white violets at
every step, while far above the great
white cups of the magnolia look out
of their foliate easements like fair
women upon lovers far below. Look
everywhere, you see
lucent miracles Of bloom, bewilder-
ing, enchanting by their profusion
as well as their great beauty. Then,

there were nothing there save
the roses of the springtime, all
warnings for flowers would be salts
fed. The roses of the Ghazepore
cannot surpass those of the rose
of the south. Roses white,
pink, crimson, yellow, peach, crushed
red roses in hedges,
roses riotjng over trellises, climbing
on walls, framing house windows,

lows, over summer houses, fences
