Anarchists on the Anxious Seat.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-The convicted anarchists
will not know what decision Judge Gary will
render on the motion of their counsel for a
new trial until next Tuesday or Wednesday.
The filing OF so many affidavits OF a contra.
dictory and impeaching character has DELAYED
the progress Of arguments, and when the
court adjourned, Black said it would take him
the whole OF Monday forenoon to finish hi.
argument. Solomon will follow and claim
that error existed in the instructions given to
the jury. 1t has not yet been determined
whether Zeisler will speak, or whether more
than Grinnell and Ingham will reply on be-
half of the state. Judge Gary has reserved all
OF Monday and Tuesday for the case, and
should be override the motion, as it is conf
IDENTITY expected he will do, he will at once
proceed to sentence Spies, Schwab, Parsons,
Flelden, Fischer, Lingg aud Engel to death
and Neebe to the penitcntiary for fifteen
years. Counsel for defense will then have
done with the criminal court, and will take a
transcript Of the voluminous record TO the SUI
pTelne court of the state in the hope Of obtain
ing a reversal of the verdict.

TANNIN IN TEA.

A Substance Which Renders Tea Harm
full for Persons of Feeble Digestion.
Nineteenth Century: Tea exercises
"A powerful exhibitory effect on salivary
digestion, and this appears to be en-
tirely due to the large quantity of M
min it contains. 1t appears that tannin
exists in two conditions in the tea leaf.
One, the larger portion, is in the free
state, and is easily extracted by hot
water, but about one-fourth is fixed,
and remains undissolved in the fully
exhausted tea leaves. Some persons
have supposed that by infusing tea for
"A very short timc-only two or three
minutes-the passing of tannin into the
infusion would be avoided. This is a
delusion. Tannin, IN the free state, is
one of the most soluble substances
known. Ii you pour hot water
on a little heap of tannin it
dissolves like so much sugar. Tea in
fused two minutes was not found
sensibly inferior In its retarding power
on salivary digestion to tea infused for
thirty minutes. One gentleman of my
acquaintance (says Sir w. Roberts) in
his horror Of tannin was in the habit of
preparing his tea by placing the dry
leaves on "A paper filter and simply
pouring on the boiling water. In this
way he thought to evade the presence
Of tannin in his tea. But if you try
the experiment and allow the product
as it run through the filter to fall
into a solution of p%erchloride of iron,
you will find that an intense inky black
celebration is produced, showing that
tannin has come through in abund-
ance. In order to diminish us far as
possible the retarding influence of tea
on salivary digestion it should be made
weak anu used sparingly, anu it should
not be taken with, but after the meal.
There is another means, mentioned
by Sir w. Roberts, Of obviating
the retarding effect of tea on s"alivary
digestion and commended by him to
the dyspeptic; it is to add a pinch of
bi-%carbonate Of soda to the tea when it
is being infused in the teapot. He
found that ten grains of soda added to
an ounce of dry tea almost entirely re-
moved this retarding influence. The
infusion thus made is darker than
usual, but the flavor is not sensibly
altered, nor is the infusion rendered
alkaline, for tea infusion is naturally
slightly acid, and the soda. in the pro-
portion mentioned, only just neutral
ICES the acidity. Coffee, unless taken
IN very large quantity, has very little
retarding effect on salivary digestion;
this is explained by the fact that the
tannin of tea is replaced in coffee by a
substance called caifeo-tannic acid.
Cocoa resembles coffee and has little
or no effect on salivary digestion; the
use of coffee or cocoa is therefore pre-
ferable to that of tea for persons of
feeble digestion.
