Selecting SaleswOmen.

A traveller in foreign lands says: IF
one were TO judge of the physique Of
English women from the specimens he
sees in the shops, behind the counters,
he would set them down for very tall
race, but if he inquiries into the subject
he will find that these women are
selected for their very height-,he taller
their figure the higher their salary, very
often. n stranger with an observing
eye will also notice that English and
French sa!eswomeD, or salesladies, as
they are called in New York, dress in
black while on duty. This, however, is
not mere caprice on the part of the
woman IN most shops it is compulsory.
The shopkeepers believe that shopwo-
men look neater and better il black than
ir colors, and so all OF them wear black.
The gowns may be of any material. but
the color must be uniformly black. Nor
are they allowed TO wear snowy trim
mings and as for jewelrY, either real or
imitation, it is out Of the question. In
some shops they may, or rather they
must wear simple, plain linen collar
and linen cuffs; this is the case at
Whitely's, the largest shop in London,
AMI come say even larger than the
world-famous Bon Marche OF Paris" :"

Small Hands n Badge Of Nobility.

We infer from some Of the letters re-
ceived by us from our young readers
that a number OF them cherish the ridi-
culous opinion that to have small hands
and feet Is sign OF noble decent aud
high breeding. We can assure these
deluded damsels that race and breeding
have nothing to do with tho size of the
extTemities. The biggest hand we
ever saw attached 10 human arm was
that OF young officer, the scion Of
family ennobled six centuries ago, and
we have seen hands of the most delicate
size and texture belonging to persons of
the lowliest origin. Witness, also, the
chubby paw of her most gracious Maj
esty Queen Victoria, whose race has
been of royal rank for fifteen hundred
years. Nature proportions the hands
and feet, with the utmost exactness to
the other parts OF the body. Conse-
quently, the hands and feet are always
just right. To change them would be
TO destroy the harmony OF the frame.
To be dissatisfied with them argues a
real vulgarity of mind, a want OF good
sense, and We may add, a thankless
impiety.

BIisterIng Horses.

In csses of blistering much needless
suffering is almost universally caused.
Before applying blister, the edges a |
around the surface to be treated should
be carefully coated over with rae s1et
Tor space of one inch this prevents
the Diister from running and saves much
distress. The best biisteriDg mediums
are, in light cases, tincture OF eantharj-
des, and for severe use oil of canthari-
des; the best absorbing blister IS tine
ture of iodine: creosote ointment is q
gentle irritant. AS soon as a Blister
has risen, cut with blunt pointed seis-
sors, the blades Of which are very sharp,

The Origin or Tea.

The tea plant grew for endless CEN
turies in Central Asia, and the guile
less Celestials blandly assert that the
drink was invented by Chin Nong some
Eve Thousand years ago. A poetic ver-
sion makes it sixteen hundred years
ago, and gives the following account Of
It's earliest appearance In the reign
Yuen Ty in the dynasty of Tysin, an
old woman was accustomed to proceed
every morning at day break to tie
market-place, carrying a cup of tea In
her hand. The people bought it eager
ly, and yet from the break OF day to the
close OF evening the cup was never ex-
hausted. The money received was dis
tributed 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 II you care to do so you
can read this story and enjoy 1t in the
original Chinese of the "Cha Pu, or
Ancient History OF Tea" and will
no doubt find the translation exact.
Tea YVES not heard OF in China again
for three centuries and a half, when
"Fo hi'' priest is said to have advised
its use as a medicine. In the ninth
century, an old begger from Japan
took some or tie seeds and plants back
with him to his native land. The Jap
anese relished the new drink, and built
at Osaka a temple to the memory OF
those who introduced il. This temple
is still standing, though now almost
seven hundred years old. Gradually
the people Of TsItary and Persia also
learned 20 love the drink, and serve
il at 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 smoug "persons OF
quality" in Europe, and in 1902 some
Dutch traders carried a quantity of
sage (which was then used to make
drink peculiar in Europe) 10 China, and
by some ingenious { evice succeeded In
making the almond-eyed tea-6rinkers
think 1t fair exchange for an equal
quantity of very good tea, which Wal
brought home in safety and without the
loss OF single Duichman.

Pearls or Thought.

He that respects not, is not respected.
Words only live when worthy TO be
said.
Mans best powers point him God
ward.
Each one sees what he carries In his
heart.
Sunday is the golden clasp that bind.
the volume of the week.
Each day, each week, each month.
each year, is chance given you by
God. A new chance, a new leaf, a
new life. This the golden unspeakable
gift which each new day offers you.
No man or woman can be really gen.
tie, strong, pure and good, without the
world being for It, without somebody
being helped and comforted by the
very existence Of that goodness.
We do not shake off our yesterdays
and sustain no further relations to
them they follow us. they constitute
our lie, and they give account and
force and meaning to our present deeds.
The shortest snd surest way to live
with honor in tie world is to be what
we would appear to be and, il we
observe, we shall find that all human
virtues increase and strengthen them
selves oy the practice, and experience
of them.
