One morning she ran into neighbor's
kitchen as if "she were not Miss Cary, ~
as the girl said, where girl of eighteen
or twenty stood ironing. Like many
bright New England girls, she longed
to get away from her small surround

"Oh,' answered the girl. "what are
troubles to you! You can do as Won

The 6rst wife of King Alfonso, tho
Princess Mercedes, died five months
after her marriage. 1t is said that her
life would have been saved were it not
for the traditional stupidities of Spanish
court etiquette. No physician, unless
he be Spaniard, may enter the royal
chamber even to save patient from
death. AT the time when the young
Queen was ill distinguished German

see her. and was obliged to prescribe
for her ON the hearsay information of

EHyDtian Agriculture.

Every reader of the Bible is familiar
with it's frequent references to Egypt as
land 50 rich in corn that it not onlv
produced abundance for its own dense
population, but yielded supplies for ex-
portation to neighboring countries.
Profane history corroborates these
statements. Diodorus Siculus bears ex-
plicit testimony to the skill of the farm
ers of ancient Egypt. He informed Us
that they were acquainted with the
benefits of rotation of crops and were
skillful in adopting these to the soil and
to the seasons. The ordinary annual
supply of corn furnished to Rome has
been estimated at 2O,OOO,OOO bushels.
From the same author we also learn
that they fed their cattle with hay
during the annual inundation, and 1t
other times tcthered them in the mead
ows on green clover. There sheep were
shorn twice annually "a practice COM
mon in several Asiatic countries) and

they were great rcarers of poultry,

at the present day. The abundance or
scarcity of harvests depended upon the
height of the annual inundation. If too
low, much of the land could not be
sowp, and scarcity or famine ensued.
On the other hand, great calamaties

Secrets of the Tea Trade.

"Americans and Europeans make u
great mistake in buying tea.' said an
educated Chinese merchant. They
invariably rely upon the name instead
of judging of the the quality of the tea
by its appearance. The Chinese never
do that, for they are aware that no
| other people under the sun arc SO
adroit in the adulteration of goods as
their own nation. No dependence can
be placed on mere name in the tea
trade. Chinese people Judge of tea
just as Americans do of butter, by its
| looks. TO determine this is a matter
OF education in the same way that
Judging of butter is. Tea of good
quality, unadulterated, is almost
lnodorous and diffuses little aroma
when placed in boiling water. The
Chinese invariably use black tea at
home and almost exclusively here also.
This is both from preference for its
trade and because it is considered
healthier.
The best tea brought to this coun-
try is the black, the finer grades of
green tea being all consumed in China
Green tea, too, is subject to more forms
OF adulteration. over two hundred meth
DDS being employed to that end. Be-
sides it is cured in copper pans and is
always more or less impregnated with
copper dust. These pans are none too
clean. either, as the growers care
nothing what kind of stuff they palm
OFT on people so unfortunate as to have
been born outside of the Flowery
Kingdom. They term all othor races
'barbarians. Green tea is dried in
the sun; black by artificial heat.
90 The best tea obtained in this coun-
try is that imported by Chinese deal
ers. They get it from some one they
know in the old country at less price
than it will be sold to foreigners. They
can secure q better trade than other
buyers, because they know what they
are buying, and it is useless for their
countrymen to try to impose upon
them,'

The Dead Sea.

The Dead sea is an old aud docrepit
salt lake in very advanced stage of
evaporation. 1t lies several feet below
the level of the Mediterranean, just as
the Caspian lies several feet below the
level of the Black sea; and as in both
cases the surface must once hate been
continuous, it is clear that the water of
either sheet must have dried up to
considerable extent. But while the
Caspian has shrunk only to eighty-five
feet below the Black Sea, the Dead Sea
has shrunk to the enormous depth of
1892 feet below the Mediterranean.
Every now and then some enterpris,ng
DE Lesseps or other proposes to dig q
canal from the Mediterranean to the
Dead Sea, and SO re-establish the old
high level. The effect of this very rev.
dictionary proceeding would be to flood
the entire Jordan valley, connect the
Sea of Gahlee with the Dead sea, and
play the dickens generally with Scrip
turc geography, to the infinite delight
of Sunday school classes. Now, when
the Dead sea first began its indepen-
dent career as separate sheet of wa
ter on its own account, it no
doubt occupied the Whole bed of
this imaginary engineers lake
spreading, if not from Dan to
Beersheba, at any rate fromDan to Eden
or, IN other words, along the whole
Jordan valley, from the Sea of Galilee
and even the Waters of Merom, to
the southern desert. q will not insult
the readers Intelligence and orthodoxy
by suggesting that he may not be pre-
cise]y certain as to the exact position
of the Waters of Merom; but I will
merely recommend him just to refresh
his memory by turning to his
atlas, as this is an opportunity
which may not again occur.) The
modern Dead Sea is the last shurken
| relic of such considerable ancient
lake. Its waters are now so very con-
centrated and so very nasty that no
fish or other self-respecting animal can
consent to live in them, and so buoy
ant that man can't drown himself,
even if he tries. because the sea is so
saturated with salts of various sorts

hood who wish to commit suicide arc
therefore obliged to 20 elsewhere:
much as in Tasmania, the healthicst
climate in the world, people who want
to die are obliged to run across for a
week to Sydney or Melbourne.

Skunlrs In tho Far West.

The skunks are nuisance in moro
ways than one. They are stupid,
familiar beasts, with a great predi-
lection for visiting camps to pick up
any scraps of meat that may be lying
about. lhave time and again, known
q skunk to spend several hours of the
night in perservingly digging hole
underneath the logs of a hut. SO as to
get inside among the inmates. The
animal then hunts about among them,
and of course no one will willingly mo-
lest it; and it has often been known to
deliberately settle down upon and be-
gin to eat of the sleepers. The
strange and terrible thing about these
attacks is that in certain districts and
at certain times the bite of the skunk
is surely fatal, producing hydrophobia,
and many cowmen, hunters and SOL
diers have died from this cause. There
is no wild beasts on the plain, no mat
ter what It's size and ferocity so dread
ed by plainsmen as this seemingly
harmless little beast. Once number
of us, among whom was huge,
happy go-lucky Scotchman who
WIN ~ IAC VI Oduuy,
were sleeping in a hut, when
skunk burrowed under the logs and
got in. Hearing it move about among
the pans, Sandy struck light was
much taken by the familiarity of the
pretty black-and-whitc little animal.
and, as it seemed in his eyes curiosity
took shot at it with his revolver. H.
missed, and for a wonder, the skunk re-
tired promptly without taking any no.
tice of the attack, and the rest of the
alarmed sleepers, when informed of
the cause of the shot, cursed the Scot
up hill and down dale for having so
nearly brought dire confusion on them
all. The latter took the abuse very
philosophically, merely remarking,
''I'm glad 1 didn't kill him mysel; he
seemed such a decent wee beastie."
The sequel proved that neither Sandy
nor the skunk had learned nything by
the encounter, for half an hour after
the ''decent wee beastie' came back
and this time Sandy fired at him with
fatal effect. OF course the result was a
frantic rush of all hands from the hut,
Sandy exclaiming with late but sincere
repentance, "a did na ken t'wad Cause
such tragadie.''

BETSEY AND IARE OUT.

A Detroit Lawyer Has Case Resemblina
That Of he Poet.
A document setting forth that Martin
H. and Rachael r. Coan had been
married forty.three years ago, and
praying the Wayne Circuit Court to
grant the wife a separation from her
husband, was filed with the county
clerk couple of weeks ago. The bill
showed that both parties lived in Ply,
mouth, and that their ages were sixty
five and sixty-three years respectively.
The natural surprise which the public
felt soon died away, and the case was
forgotten in few days with others of
a distantly similar nature. Last Thurs
day number of assignments and quit
claim deeds, some bearing Rachael
Coan's signature, others that of Mar
tin, were filed with the Register of
Deeds. Martin had assigned property
to his wife, and she in turn had quit
claimed to him certain pieces of real
estate. Here was food for further sur
prise. The couple had been at logger
heads, recently. at least; a suit between
them was pending in court and was set
tor Thursday next. j. w. Donovan,
Mrs. Coan's counsel, was visited, the
apparently strange circumstances of
the case pointed out to him, and he re-
lated a short history of the case.
A few weeks ago tall woman with
dark gray hair and strong but much
wrinkled features, entered Mr.. Dono-
van s office and told him that she was
Rachael Coan. She had found it i'm
possible to remain in the same house
with her husband Martin, she said, be-
cause OF his dissolute habits and cruel
treatment of her. She would be
comparatively content if she could get
enough to keep her from starVa-
ton, but her husband would give
her nothing, not even her wearing ap-
parel. She asked Mr.. Donovan to help
her obtain just share of the property.
The lawyer informed her that there
was no way in which she could do this
except by obtaining divorce or legal
separation from her husband. 1t was
with much hesitation that she agreed to
ask separation. When the requisite
document was drawn up she was given
a pen and told to sign. She looked
over the paper, her hand trembling,
and tears in her eyes. She wrote her
name, but with much effort, and began
sobbing violently.
Last Wednesday evening as Mr.. Dono
van was seated i'll his library at home
a man of medium height, whose hair,
once blonde, had almost changed to
white, stopped at his door. He said
he was Martin H. Coan, and wished
Mr.. Donovan to go down town and
kind of fix up matters. Mr.. Donovan
consented and went to his office. To
his surprise, on arriving there, he found
Mrs. Coan awaiting him there in COM
pany with friend. Coan said he was
willing to assign his wife third of the
property with all her wearing apparel
and trinkets. There appeared to be
no reconciliation between the old folks,
yet Mrs: Coan expressed wish that
too much should not be taken from her
husband. The assignments and quit
claim deeds were drawn up and signed.
Coan appeared uncomfortable and
manifested some emotion. His wife
broke down completely. They parted
without evena good-byc.-Detrot Post
