Friendly Rivalry.

A story which General Sheridan
was fond Of telling at the dinner
table. after the coffee had been
served and the ladies had retired,
went somewhat like this, l am told /:
There was jealous chaplain of
the army of the Potomac, who had
called on a Colonel, noted for his
profanity, to talk Of the religious
interests Of his men. After having
been politely motioned to seat on
the chest, the chaplain began:
"Colonel, you have one Of the
finest regiments in the army"
Il believe so, said the Colonel
in reply.
"Do you think" pursued the
chaplain, "that you pay sufficient
attention to the religious instruc-
ton of your men?"
"Well. l don't know" doubtfully
replied the Colonel.
"a lively interest has been awak-
ened in the Massachusetts,"
tie parson went on to say. "The
Lord has blessed the labors of his
servants, and ten have already been
baptized"
SIS that SOP" excitedly cried the
Colonel, and then turning to the
attendant added, "Sergeat Major,
have fifteen men detailed for bap-
tism; I'll be hanged if I'll be out

The Origin OF Tea.

The tea plant grew for endless GEN.
turies in Central Asia, and the guileless
Celestials blandly assert that the drink
was invented by Chin Nong some five
thousand years ago. A poetic version
makes it sixteen hundred years ago.
and gives the following account of its
earliest appearance: 'ln tho reign of
Yuen Ty in the dynasty of Tysin, an
old woman was accustomed to proceed
every morning at daybrcak to the
market-place, carrying cup of tea in
her hand. The people bought it
eagerly, and yet from the break of
day to the close Of evening the cup
was never exhausted. The money re-
ceived was distributed among orphans
and beggars. The people seized and
confined her in prison, At night she
flew through the prison windows with
her little vase in her hand" If you
care to do SO you can read this story
and enjoy it in the original Chinese of
the "Cha Pu,' or ''Ancient History Of
Tea," and will no doubt find the trans
lation exact
Tea was not heard of iu China
again for three centuries and half,
Nutu d Ao uI ptlcSl fS Sdiu W nave
advised its use as medicine. In tho
ninth century. an old beggar from
Japan took some of the seeds and
plants back with him to his native
land. The japanese relished the new
drink, and built at Osaka temple to
the memory of those who introduced
it. This temple is still standing,
though now almost seven hundred
years old. Gradually the people Of
Tartary and Persia also learned to love
the drink, and serve it ut all hours of
the day
The honor Of introducing the herb
into Europe may be considered due
equally to the Dutch and Portuguese.
Early in the seventeenth century tea
became known among ''persons of
quality" in Europe. aud in 1902 some
Dutch traders carried a quantity of
sage (Which was then used to make
drink popular in Europe) to China.
and by some ingenious device succeeded
in making the almond-eyed tea-drink-
ers think it fair exchange for an
equal quantity of very good tea. which
was brought home in safety and with
out the loss of single Dutchman.-

into the water and been drowned
and that his body had been carried
out by the tide. The theory of the
authorities was that Tom had mur-
dered Jack for his money and car
ried his body to the water and
thrown it in. The fact that Tom
had not attempted to escape or
cover up the crime did not give the
officials much concern. He might,
they said, have felt confident that
his story would be believed, or he
might, after the deed, have been
overcome with the liquor he had
taken and laid down, or he might
have imagined that he would have
opportunity enough to get clear be-
fore any alarm was raised in the
morning. Tom, anyhow, was held
for the murder of Jack, and in due
time was indicted by the grand jury.
On the trial everything was made
to tell strongly against the prisoner,
and he was convicted and hanged.
"Now comes the sequel to the
story. Two years or more after
sentence had been executed upon
Tom, Jack appeared upon the scene
once more, alive and we'll. Then
for the first time he heard of his
own murder and the hanging of his
shipmate for the crime. He was
greatly shocked and gave an ac-
count Of his disappearance, which
in every particular substantiated
the truth of the statements made
by Tom.
"In addition, he said that, after
quitting the bedroom his nose con-
tinued to bleed, and he walked
down the covered way toward the
quay, keeping his head we'll forward
SO that the blood might not stain
his clothes. On reaching the quay
he turned to the left, and just as he
called opposite the stone steps al
ready described, press gang sprang
upon him, gagged him, carried him
to a boat and rowed him, along
with other similarly captured, on
board man-of-war anchored in the
roads. It was war time and sailors
were badly wanted, and the press
gang were resorted to for supplying
the navy, merchant seamen being
always, of course, preferred. Jack
had no means to communicate with
any one on shore, for the very next
day the man-of-war sailed for
foreign station, where it remained
cruising nearly all the time until it
returned to England. Brooklyn

Club Feet.

OF all pitiful objects the deformed
child calls forth the most heartfelt
sympathy. Many of these deformities
are remediable if attended to in time
and by one skilled in their treatment.
Others are preventable which, if allow
ed to pursue their course until growth
is attained, can be only palliated, sell
dom cured. OF the first mentioned
those needing proper treatment the
most common are club feet, of various
kinds of degrees; strabismus or cross
eyes, hare lip, cleft palate, supernum-
erary toes and fingers and to some ex-
tent so-called mothers marks. Not
all of the latter are durable, however,
and many of them are of SO little in
convenience it is not best to meddle.
Talipes, or club, are caused by the
shortening of one or more of the sew
eral muscles passing across the ankle
and controlling the motion of the foot.
According as it is one or another OF
the muscles the position of the foot
varies, the foot turning in, out. or the
toes being raised, or vice versa, the
heel. making it impossible for the
child to walk on the sole OF the foot
Many times this deformity is noticed at
birth; again it is not manifest until the
first attempts at walking are made.
But, whenever noticed. bear in mind,
unless very slight. it will never cure
itself, and the rule is to increase in
degree with prolonged walking until
the ultimatum of defoymity is reached.
1t is q mistaken idea to wait until the
child walks before doing anything,
aud . worse mistake many times to
then harness the child with cumbrous
shackles which some instrument-maker
has palnled of on you.
The better way Is, as early - three
months, IL the deformity i unmistak-
able, to take the infant to the best
surgeon within your reach and be
guided by his advice. If he says ad-
hesive straps, apparatus or operation,
acquiesce and follow faithfully the ai-
rections Qiver. At this are you viii

THE evil effects of drink are sure
to assert themselves in some form
or other. Its malignant form is
shown in the loss of situation, a
broken home, and sometimes-a
prison cell! How many terrible
crimes are the outcome of drink |!
Under its maddening influence men
are driven to deeds which in sober
moments their souls would shrink
from with horror. By the contin-
ued and excessive use Of alcohol
all sense of morality is lost. Driven
on under the power of a perverted
taste and passion, man, who was
made ''in the image of God" be-
comes like the brutes that perish.
Oh :! wretched is the man who, for
the momentary pleasure of drink,
loses all that is essential to earthly
happiness, and all hope Of eternal
life.

Death In China.

When the Chinese wish to declare
the extreme vexatiousness ofany piece
of work they say: lit is more trouble
than funeral'-the obsequies of a
parent being reckoncd the most mad
dening affair in human experience.
Infants are buried summarily. with.
out coffins, and the young are inferred
with few rites; but the funerals of the
aged of both sexes, are elaborate in
proportion to the number of the de-
scendants and to their wealth. When
a childless married man dies his widow
may perform all the duties of son
toward him, may remain in his house,
and may adopt children to rear as his
heirs and rs worshipers of the family
names. If his widow purposes marry
ing again young male relative may,
with the consent of senior members
of the clan, undertake the services ex-
pected from son and may inherit the
estate Of the deceased.
When one is about to die he is re-
moved from his couch 10 bench or q
mat on the floor, because of belief
that he who dies in a bed will carry
the bedstead as a burden into the
next world. He is washed in a new
pot in warm water in which bundle
of incense sticks is merged. After the
washing, the pot and the water are
thrown away together. He is then ar,
rayed in full suit of new clothing,
that he may appear in hades at his
best. He breathes his last in the main
room, before the largest door of the
house, that the departing soul may
easily find its way out into the air. 4

away, soon to mingle with the mys-
terious tide of eternity. Is there
not the self-consciousness that you
have neglected your talents and
wasted golden opportunities which
should have crowned this year of
your life? The new year, in all it's
freshness and purity, will soon be
ushered in upon the threshold of
