TEA GATHERING IN INDIA.
Coolie Women PluclSing the Leaf-In the
whitening Observation-Disclosures

Coolie We,nen PluclSing the Leaf-In the
Whitening House-Fermentation.
The five grades of Indian teas-broken
Orange Pekoe, broken Pekoe, Pekoe, Pekoe
Souchong and Souchong-are all procured
from the same plant When a shoot is
plucked from tea plant it bears three or
four leaves and a bud. The smallest bud
and leaf on the stalk make the finest teas,
and the lower leaves on the stalk, when
sifted, make the coarser kinds of tea The
coolie women, who are constantly employed
from April to December pluclling the leaf,
are mustered between and o'clock in the
morning, and then go out to the portion Of
the garden where the leaf is quite ready to
be plucked, which is, as rule, once every
eight days. At IL o'clock the women are
brought in to weigh their forenoon's leaf,
and get leave to have food and a rest till l p
m, when they go out again and come in for
theday at Gp. m. On an average day women
will pluck thirty to forty pounds, which they
carry in baskets on their backs, with a strap
on the head, which leaves them both hands
free to pluck the leaf from the plants, which
after three or four years grow to be large
bushes.
The leaf, when brought in and weighed, is
carried up into the lofts by the women to the
factory men, who are told off to spread it on
whitening traps or ''chulnies,n which are
placed in tiers all along the length Of the
whitening house, which allows of the leaf
getting the quantity of air required to wither
it properly for manufacture next morning
AS rule, when the weather is favorable for
whitening, tea manufacture begins at a. m.
The leaf is put into rolling machines, which
are made with such perfection that the mo-
tion of the hand rolling-used in all tea gar
dens before machinery was adopted-is now
obtained by the use of cranks and cog wheels.
The leaf is given a light or heavy pressure,
according to the state it is in during the time
it is i'll the rolling machine. 1t is then taken
out and spread on fermenting tables to get
the necessary fermentation, which gives the
tea the red coppery color infused tea leaves
have
After getting the proper fermentation, the
leaf gets second roll of short duration to fix
the color of the fermentation. The second
roll being finished, the rolled leaf is taken to
the drying machines to be dried. The most
skilled factory hands work these machines,
and they give the leaf the proper amount
of drying, which gives the tea the black color
as you see it. The tea is now ready to be
sifted into the different grades. After the
whole tea has been put through tea
breaker, it is then passed through n sitting
machine-a long revolving cylindrical frame,
with the varied sizes of wire meshes attached
to it, worked at u slight angle, SO that the
tea as 1t revolyes falls through the different
meshes under each of which are sheets which
convey the tea into boxes, each grade of tea
being kept separate. The tea is now ready
for final drying before packing. Cor.

Gen. Sheridan After Gravelotte.

The headquarters now became the scene OF
much hustle, dispatches announcing the vic
tory being sent in all directions. The first
one transmitted was to the queen, the king
directing Count Bismarck TO prepare it for
his signature; then followed others of more
official character, and while these matters
were being attended TO ! thought would
ride into the village to find, if possible, some
water for my horse. just as | entered the
chief street, however, | was suddenly halted
by squad of soldiers, who, taking me for a
French officer my coat and forage cap re-
sembling those of the French, leyeled their
pieces at me- They were greatly excited, SO
much so indeed that | thought my hour had
come for they could not understand Eng
fish, and | could not speak German, and
dared not utter explanations in French. For
tunately few disconnected German words
came to me In the emergency. With these
managed to delay my execution, and one Of
the party ventured to come up to examine
the 'suspectn more closely The first thing
he did was to take Off my cap, and looking it
over carefully his eyes rested on the three
stars above the visor, and pointing to them
he emphatically pronounced me French.
Then, of course, they all became excited
again, more so than before even, for they
thought was trying to practice a ruse,
and question whether should have lived to
recount the adventure had not an officer be-
longing to the kings headquarters been pass
ing by just then, when, hearing the threat
enings and imprecations, he rode up to learn
the cause of the hubbub and Immediately
recognized and released me. When he told
my wrathy captors who l was, they were
much mortified, of course, and made the
most profuse apologies, promising that no
such mistake should occur again, and SO on;
but not feeling wholly treasured, for my uni
form was still liable to mislead, was careful
to return to headquarters in company with
my deliverer. There | related what had oc-
CURED, and after a good laugh all round, the
king provided me with pass which he said
would preclude any such mishap IN the fu-
ture and would also permit me to go wher-
ever pleased-a favor rarely bestowed. =

Is It Memory?

It is an experience familiar enough to many persons that they find themselves at times in places where their surround ings seem to have been known to them before; and yet they know that this is the first time they have ever been upon the spot.
 In some instances the recognition may be due to picture of the place, seen somewhere at some time, of which all recollection was lost except the impress sion it made. Or it may be that the place has been described under circum- stances which are wholly forgotten, or an account of it has been read, so minute and so interesting as to have made the impression received more lasting than any circumstance attending it.
 We are able, in some instances. to trace the impression, by suggestion and association, back to some such origin. This leads us to infer that in cases where we are unable to do this, it is because suggestion or association fails us. If we deny that memory has anything to do with these impressions, then they become mysteries, and such mysteries as haunt and perplex a sensitive mind. It is more reasonable to admit the possible weak ness and untrustworthiness of our facul- ties than to suppose that anything has happened contrary to the course of na- tlue.-Y outh's Companion.

Is It a Fact?

The curious fact that the usual heat produced by friction is absent when the articles are magnetized is just now being discussed by 7scieHtists yVhe-are- seeking an explanation. Very striking examples are described in late number of a scien- tific periodical. A workman fastened a couple of powerful magnets to his lathe to hold more securely a piece of metal which he wished to drill and turn.
 The presence of the magnets kept the metal so cold that no water was needed to keep the drill moist and cool. This unusual circumstance may lead to i'm portant mechanical advantages. It is such circumstances as the one noted above that lead to valuable discoveries. The scientists, who are looking for a reason why the heat should be absent, may not hit upon any valuable idea, but some practical mechanic probably wil.- Boston Bl1flpnt

Aoolde ,ta from Electricitr.

"It is sir gular thing" said mana ger of arc lamp systems, 'that accidents usually happen to men who are more or less familiar with electricity. They get sousah to manipulating the apparatus that they sometimes become careless, jus4 as the brakeman who regularly jumps o4 a moving train gets careless something's and suffers the inevitable consequencess Pooling with electricity is like fooli with red hot iron. Nobody but an iI
 would think of handling heated
 without proper implements, and no
 should handle exposed electric
 without rubber gloves, or allow s.--.'=. feet in insulation to go unrepairedk 70 ment. The accidents that happenfAe all to be traced to carelessness, either in neglecting repairs or in handling the ex- posed charged wire. We reduce danger to the minimum by insulating all our wires that run indoors with rubber, and by hanging the wires that run through the streets, and which are insulated with material made chiefly to resist the effects of the weather, away up in the air where people can't readily get at them. That is all the safeguard that it is possible -ttee- throw about this wonderfpiI secret force Of nature. With such safeguard we can run as much as 2,000 volts of electricity along wire safely. When some of the electric supply is desired to light build ing along the route of the street lights, shupt or guard box is placed at the en- trance of the building, and separate sup ply wires are run from the inside. Then only as much electricity as is wanted to light the building goes into it, and the rest is diverted by the shunt and carried back to and along the street lines. AS an average only 1900 volts of electricity is carried on the street wires. and very few buildings require so many lamps that the current sent to supply the lamps is really dangerous, even if the insulation of the wires were imperfect.

"What have you to say about illustrat- ing~ was asked of Richard Watson Gill der, editor of The Century.
 Illustrating requires technical educa- tion. How, for instance, can man draw scene illustrating a story without thorough knowledge of the human fig ure9 Magazines are constantly on the lookout for new illustrative talent, but a man or woman must prove that he or she has illustrative as well as the artis- tic capacity. If he wishes to illustrate fiction, for instance, he must be able to follow the thought of another. In the matter of descriptive draughtsmanship, he must be able to make pictures of places and things, which pictures adapt themselves readily to the condensed form in which they are presented in the mar row pages of a periodical. That faculty comes from practice. We constantly hear from girls or boys in the back woods, who send in specimens of work which have no art in them at all, though they may show certain inventiveness. |"
 ''That brings us down to practical point. Now, in this branch of art, when the person has talent and ability, yet; no money to start with, where could he or she go to seek this technical training?''
 ''1t is not absolutely necessary any more to go to Europe; several of the large cities in the west, as well as in the east, have excellent schools; but New York is prohahly1on the whole. the best place in America for training in art; and the better the training the better for the artist, of course, in any branch he may follow for livelihood. The illustrative faculty comes with practice and thorough attention to the needs of the periodical. The best school for magazine illustrative work is in the magazines themselves New York Mail and Express.

not keep this air out and as is general
ly the case when one of these COM
partments becomes filled with water
the ship sinks because of the great
amount of atmospheric air contained
in these large chambers. Hence every
thing that goes into the construction of
these ocean steamers designed especial
ly for the carriage of passengers should
be huted Of small size and the contain
ed air of keels, keelsons, beams, knees,
stanchions, frames, plating outer and
inner, the run way of decks, in fact
everything entering into the build of
the ship can be made double and for
that reason alright and, plainly, if the
buoyancy of this contained air is of
sufficient volume to sustain the weight
OF the ship-what more is wanted.
If a ship 10000 tons weight is placed
into the water, she displaces a quantity
of water equal in weight to this amount
exactly. This is law of hydrostatics
governing the right angled pressure of
fluids that has not the remotest to do
with keeping the ship from sinking if
she is so unfortunate as to meet with
an accident. No iron ship ever built
can carry herself full of water in the
absence of air. The nature of the ma
terial being librous and not porous
does not admit of air. But air can be
made to support many times its weight
in iron if it is confined in the most eff
fective place, and certainly the fire.
quent going down of so many grey
hounds in the Atlantic indicates if not
a faulty construction at least of better
appliances to preserve life are sadly
deficient. So that in view o. this it is
safe to say that disasters a. sea among
passengers could be reduced to mini
nun if these ships were required to
build in" Il volumn Of air equal to
sustain the ship and cargo in the most
bOisterous seas, that this can be done
and will be done is rerhap. but a

Twice during her life she lost control Of
her voice. The first time while her career
was only budding, the second shortly after
the birth of her son while living in Ores
den, in 1858. On both occasions the voice
returned to her as it had departed and
both times its presence was accidentally
discovered. 1t is well known that she
became a singer at the remarkably early
age of 10 years. She had spent but one
year in a music school in Stockholm when
her debut was effected in the Court
theatre. For two years she continued
to give promise of great lyric career,
when the upper notes of her voice became
hard and she was forced into retirement.
For four years all thought Of public life
was abandoned, when one evening she was
called upon to fill an unimpOrtant role in
one Of Meyerbeer's operas by reason Of
the illness Of the young woman to whom
it had been intrusted. To this accident
the fame of Jenny Lind is due, for that
night she discovered that the sweetness
and purity Of her voice had returned, and
the next night she was invited to sing

Pay for Advertised Letters.

By law of Congress passed several
years ago all advertised letters on de-
livery to the parties entitled thereto,
were required to be stamped with a
one-cent postage-due stamp, to be paid
for by the parties receiving the letters.
This law has been heretofore ignored,
but recently the department issued
an order requiring its strict enforce
ment. Hereafter parties receiving
advertised letters at any post office
will be required to pay one cent for
each letter, for the postage-due stamp
required by law.

A special from Dubuque, Iowa, says ::
Senator Allison said in an interview
that the party which failed to do its
share in speedily reducing the tariff
taxes would lose in public favor. The
necessity for some action was great,
and Congress would be compelled to
act. He did not wish to outline any
definite plan, but said the parties were
so divided that in order to reach any
result mutual concessions must be
made. He would be willing to repeal
the tobacco tax and the sugar tariff
and further enlarge the free list.
