ITALIAN TEA.
The Cultivation of the Cheering Shrub in
the Italian Peninsula.

The Cultivation of the Cheering Shrub in
the italian Peninsula.
The French Consul at Naples gives
an interesting account in his last re-
port of the attempts which have been
made to acclimatize the tea plant in
Italy. The first is said to have been
made by the English during their occu-
patton of Sicily at the beginning of the
century. when the plant reached
height of six feet in the open air.
There is no proof, however, that any
crop was obtained. and no further at
tempt seems to have been made until
1871, when some seeds were sown at
Caltanisetta, which is in much the same
latitude as Jamascioro Gin Japan),
from which place they were brought.
The seeds never sprouted, and fresh
trial made in 1875 with another variety,
the Thea sinensis, also proved failure.
The Government. however. which had
taken up the question, was not dis
couraged, and after weighing the
various opinions which it had elected.
made several fresh plantations of Thea
sinensis in the zone comprised between
Florence. Naples and Sicily. These
plantations also came to nothing, but
Sig. d'Amico, a landed proprietor in
the province of Messina, was able to
exhibit, at the agricultural show held
at Messina in 1882, more than a hun
dred plants of the Thea sinensis three
years old, which had been grown in
the open. Prof. Beccari, too. who has
been to India for the purpose of inves-
tigating the growth of tea, is of opin-
ion that there is no reason why it
should not succeed in Italy if the plants
and the seed are brought from a eli
mate similar to that of the peninsula,
for the fact of its growing in the open
along the Riviera. upon the shores of
Lago Magg ore and at Florence proves
that it is to certain extent hardy
plant. If it has not been more
erto, this is, Prof. Beccari
thinks, because the mode of cultivation
has been all wrong The Italians have
whereas in India and China it is grown
in very open ground and upon a soil
which contains large proportion of
sand and oxide of iron He recon-
mends, therefore, that it should be
planted in land not too dry. and in
soil preserving enough moisture to ali
ment the plants. such as the olive
growing fields of the Riviera, the Ma
remma and Southern Italy, and that
the plants should be brought from the
coolest provinces of Japan. The Ital-
ian Minister of Agriculture has deter
mined to act. upon Professor Beccari's
report, and has already sent large or
der to Japan. besides buying number
of plants from landed proprietor at
Pallanza, in the province of Novara,
who has met with fair amount of sue
cess in his experiments.-London

THE GIRL WAS SAFE.

A Detroit Couple Who Meant to Get Al
the Fun There Was In Little Money.
They sat in a doorway on Monroe
avenue yesterday, and while their in
side hands were clasped, each out
side one held banana. Now and
then, at regular intervals, up went
their hands in unison. and straight
inch of banana, peel and all, was cut
off by their front teeth and passed
along back to be reduced to be pulp and
swallowed.
Once or twice the young man sighed:
yum! yum!"
Yum! yumr' promptly echoed the
girl. squirting her left eye as the peel
ings swallowed hard.
BY and by pedestrian with a bald
head and faded look came along, and
as he caught sight of the pair, he
stopped and surveyed, them and finally
said:
Young man, don't you know
enough to shuck banana?'
The young man let go of her hand,
rose up. and advancing close to the in
quirer, he whispered in his ear:
''Durn your buttons, but when ten
cents has got to buy a luncheon for
two. d. y s'spose I'm going to stand by
and see half of it wasted! A gal as kin
crack a walnut in her teeth and eat
potatoes with the hides on amt going
to compton over no banana-shucks,
and don't you forget it! Go on!"-

DAIRY PRODUCTS.
The Selling of These Time Very
Cnwise Proceeding For the Producer.

The Selling of These on Time Very
Cnwise Proceeding For the Producer.
Farmers are wont to complain of
small profits when they get the full
market price of their products in hand.
But a very unwise custom prevails in
many dairy districts of selling butter
and cheese on time, or of selling
through commission houses, and the
latter is still more vicious prac-
tce than time sales at stipulated
price. Why should farmers furnish
these middlemen with capital to dc
business on gratuitously? 1t is the
merest pretense that there is
not capital enough to handle
these goods for cash. The grain
crop is not purchased on credit or
sold for farmers on comm ssion, nor is
the great commerce in live stock car
ried on in this way.
Every season brings reports of dis.
tress among dairy farmers in certain
districts by the failure of commission
men. 1t is the fault of farmers that
there are so few middlemen of any safe
capital to do business on. The ease
of obtaining consignments has
led hundreds of men without
capital to set up as commission mer-
chants. These merchants have moth
ing to lose. and they seem to enjoy
handling the capital intrusted to them
by these confiding farmers. and 1--we on
the top shelf till the difference between
their real income and their expendi-
lures brings them to the inevitable
failure, involving hundreds of dairy
farmers in the loss of a large share OF
the years product of their herds. All
sorts of excuses are made for the un.
fortunate commission merchant, who
has lost nothing of his own except the
unmerited confidence of the deluded
da:rymen. But, astonishing as it may
seem, these dairymen go right on the
next year, and furnish capital for some
other adventurer to repeat the game.
Occasionally shrewd and economical
business man uses this capital intrust-
ed to him fairly, and thus succeeds in
establishing safe business, and build
ing up safe capital. But this result
is rare.
All farm products are better than an
uncertain promise to pay. Letfarmers
learn to hold their products till they
can exchange them for cash.-LtUe

that London aristocratic maidens were

tions of nursing. Then we reported

ABUSE OF HEALTH,

Nature Allows No One to Violate Her
Laws With Impunity.
Health is one of our best blessings.
1t enables us to make the most of life
with the least wear and with the great
est enjoyment.
With it is connected avigorous diges-
ton. Its possessors incline to eat more
than is needed to supply nervous force
to the machinery of the system, or to
make good its incessant waste, Tor
they are either unconscious of harm
from undue indulgence. or they rapidly
this class belong those who live to eat,
instead of eating to live.
We are not mere animals. We were
made to be, predominantly, moral and
intellectual beings. Now, nature
allows no one to violate her laws with
impunity. We eXalt the bestiaI in us
only at the expense OF our higher ma
ture. Some of the Roman emperors
thus came to be more british than the
brute. They were, of course, extreme
cases-vertab monsters.
But even the great pulpit orator OF
England once wrote: Il ate like a

a man of lofty powers and position has
been for the time, utterly shorn of his
strength through the demand made by
his stomach on his brain. He who is
thus yielding daily to the sway of his
lower nature can not reach the full

not imbrute himself. he must come far
short of the full stature of his man.

But there is another penalty which
falls upon our physical powers. Where
more food is eaten than is assimilated,
it is deposited as encumbering fat; or it
undergoes chemical changes that give
rise to govt; or it inflames the kidneys
in their struggle to eliminate it; or it
congests the stomach and liver; or it
breaks down the brain with softening
or with apoplexy. Men of high health
ought to live a hundred years; they are
apt to fail of their threescore and ten.
