The consumption of tea has become so
rs to have suggested a study
of its effects upon the health of the peo-
ale. There are those who look upon it
rs an evil only second to that connected
with Ii excessive use of alcohol. Tea
N spoken of ms an agreeable cerebral
stimulant, quickening intellectual oper-
alton, removing headache and fatigue,
and promoting checrfulness and n sense
of well being. When it is used to cx-
cess the digestive and nervous systems
are especially affected.
There is no doubt that there are cases
Of dyspepsia caused by the inordinato
use of strong tea, and it Is also a matter
of common observation that sleepless-
ness. palpitation Of the heart and nerv-
Gus irritahility often follow the pro-
longed use of this beverage. Tea drink

tea to excess. are to be found in all
classes of society. The fact should he

SENATOR BECK says it is nonsense to
talk about contesting Speaker Carlisle's
election, as the latter received over 700
clear majority, and that fact cannot be
wiped out-contest or no contest. 1t is
known that a powerful influence was
brought to bear against Mr.. Carlisle, but
it was discovered Just in time to prevent
his defeat. Senator Beck says Mr.. Car
Isle will be the speaker ofthc next house
without a dissenting Democratic vote.
If Mr.. Thoebc insists on a contest Mr..
Carlisle can be relied upon to appoint a
fair and equitable committee on elections.
1t may be that Mr.. Carlisle will designate
some other member to act as speaker with
the authority to name the members of the
election committee. IF | was speaker,

The Honduras consul Mt New York
says that in his country it does not make
n man general merely to have been in
command of some forces. To be made
general he must have commanded in bat
ties where he was under fire. Fighting
in Central America is as dangerous MS
elsewhere, but the list of the casualties
is not long, because the number of com
batants is not great. A fight where
twenty men are killed is called n battle.
The loss of twenty fighting men means
n great deal to n Central American army,
which is not so large as half of n United
States regiment. A fight is pleasure to
n Central American. He goes into it
with joy and he comes out with exulta-
ton, They are not n %pugnacious people,
nor are fist fights frequent. To join an
expedition is their dissipation. They grid
on their clothes, shoulder their muskcts,
roll their cigarettes, and run along with
an expedition as if it was II show.-Chi-

THE Salt Lake Tribune says; 1T seems
that the stockmen are not satisfied with
the present law governing the manufac-
ture and sale of oleomargarine. The
truth is that there is no more reason to
tax that particular manufacture than
there is that OF any other food ma
terial. Clean oleomargarine is perfectly
pure and healthy food, infinitely more clean
and pure than ill-workcd butter. What
there should be for o%leomargarine is pre-
cisely what there should be in every great
slaughter house and sugar refinery in the
country, namely, government inspectors
to see that only healthy material is used.
To place a particular ban upon the article
is to declare that the chemistry of science
is inferior to the chemistry of the COW and
the churn.

crafty will be carried out by the patient
work of the commissions, with the con
sent of the Indians. When that consent
is refused through the sinister influences
referred to, the government should pro-
coed to carry out its policy anyway, by
virtue of its sovereign power, when no ac.
tual treaty obligations stand in the way.
When they do stand IN the way, it would
be very easy to adopt a system of dlsci-
pline which would make it very uncomfor-
table for the half breeds and traders, as
well as for the Indians themselves. If
the Indians were forcibly confined abso-
utely to the limits of their reservations,
all traders expelled from it and its neigh
borhood, and all persons not entitled to
the privileges of the reservation elected
therefrom, the Indians would soon be
glad to accept the better situation offered
them.

TO nil appearances neither Geronimo
nor any of his band entertain the belief
that fate has anything unpleasant in
store for them. They nre quartercd in
-four big tents Mt San Antonio, and never
lived SO well in their lives as they have
since their capture. When they arrived
in Texas tire squaw were attircd in full
evening costume, except MS to the
legs, upon which they wore leather leg
gings, without which their flesh would
have been torn to ribbons in their flight.
The bucks wore Il bit Of cloth that looked
like a porons plaster on their chests, II
brcech cloth and leggings; none Of them
wore head gear. Their luxuriant growth
of inky black hair seems quite sufficient
TO protect them from i'll effects of sun
shine or storm. Since their arrival they
have been logged out in most gorgeous
style,
Geronimo wore a pair of COW hide
boots, into which his white cotton draw
ers were tucked; his copper colored body
was covered with a calico shirt. He and
his followers always wear their shirts
Chinese fashion, n no matter what else
they may wear, they never fail to don
the breech cloth, and in such manner
that 1t will show beneath the shirt.
Around his neck was n horsehuir chain,
and suspended to it was n silver crescent.
In order to show his visitors that he did
not carry all his clothes on his back he
disappeared for n few moments within his
tent; when he emerged he wore n short
sack cont buttoned up to the chin with
three different kinds of button ., and a
broad brimmcd felt hat. He looked
prouder than he had before, he accepted
n silver dollar with n yard-wide smile,
and showed that he was not ungrateful
by making his visitors n present at least
of equal value. lie also shook hands Mt
