The Origin Of Tea.

The tea-plant grew for endless centu-
ries in Central Asia, and the guileless
elestials blandly assert that the drink
wss invented by Chm Nong some thou
sand years ago. A poetic version makes
II sixteen hundred years ago, and gives
the following account Of its earliest APP
Pearance: ''ln the reign Of Yuen Ty in
the dynasty of Ism, an old woman was
accustomed TO proceed every morning at
day break TO the market place, carrying
a cup of tea in her hand The people
bought it eagerly, and from the break Of
day 10 the cose Of evening the cup was
never exhausted. The money receil ed
was distributed among orphans and beg
gars. The people seized and confined
her in prison. At night she flew through
the prison windows with her little vase

can read this story and en- oy it in the
original Chinese of the "Cha Pu," or
Ancient History of Tea, and will no
doubt find the translation exact
Tea was not heard OF in China again
for three centuries and q half, when a
40 hi'' priest is said to have advised
its use as a medicine. In the ninth
century, an old beggar from Japan took
some of the seed and plants back with
him to his native land. The japanese
relished the new drink, and built at
Osaka a temple to the memory Of those
who introduced it. This temple is still
standing, though now almost seven hun
died years old. Gradually the people OF
Tartary and Persia also learned to love
the drink, and serve it 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 be-
came known among persons Of quality
in Europe, and in 1902 some Dutch
traders carried quantity OF sage (Which

weeks ago adopted resolutions thank

stand they took in support of pension

resolutions were forwarded to the

and read at the regular meeting of the

their words of appreciation. This ac-

Capt. S. B. Warren last evening. In
addition to the members of the club
there were present as invited guests
Charles Dickens, Jr., and Major and
Mrs. Pond. A splendid supper of five
courses was given by the winners of
the prizes, Doctor Jacobs and Mrs.
Warren. The prizes consisted of a
gold bracelet set with diamonds and a
pair of cuff buttons set with diamonds.
The presentation speech was made by
Capt. Warren and the response by DR..
Jacobs. The rooms were deliberately and
handsomely decorated with a variety
of the most choicest flowers, tastefully
and artistically arranged, giving the
mos5 pleasing effect to the richly
furnished and elegant apartments.
The occasion was one of the highest
social enjoyment, and viii long be re-
membered by all present. The mem
bers of the club in attendance were

The Whitley opera house has not
been so well filed for many months as
it was last evening to greet the editor
of ''An the Year Around, !" in readings
from the pen of his distinguished
father. At quarter past eight Pro
fessor Wilkinson accompanied by Mr..
Dickens, stepped upon the stage. The
professor in few well chosen words
introduced the younger Dickens to the
large audience. After few words of
introduction he began the reading of
portions of David Copperfeld as read
by his father in his entertainments.
His style of reading is very clear and
pleasing. He read for over an hour
from these selections and after few
moments pause began the reading of the
trial IN the breach of promise case in
stituted against Pickwick. Through
both parts of the programme the au-
dience was held in the closest at
tention, frequently bursting out with
laughter at the humorous points of the
selections. He is much more than the
son of his father, and is gifted with
unusual Evolutionary powers. The
audience were more than pleased and thu
literary societies Of the Normal should
be congratulated on the success of the
entertainment.

RUSSIA is the last country in the
world concerning which we should
expect to hear that it has a good
system for the administration of law
and justice. However, according to
Albert F. Heard's article in Harper's
Magazine for May, the judicial system
of the the czar's dominions is excel
lent, and, if honestly followed out,
would work to the happiness of the
cars subjects. But there's the rub.
Being an autocrat of the most absolute
kind, and judging himself and his
government to be in danger, Alex
ander Ill. has so modified the judicial
system of his country by imperial de-
crees that it might just about as well
not exist at all. Against the ukases
the nihilists have opposed assassi-
nation; and so it goes, from bad to
worse. The end no one can tell, but
there is much to hope for in country
where the masses of the people would
rather be beaten with stripes than pay
small fine. 1t is especially interest
ing to read this article in connection
with DIR. Lansdell's Russian Convicts
in the Salt Mines of Tletsk" in the
same number.

kins, who was murdered by Day of
Parkersville, was before the board OF
Pardons Saturday afternoon, for the
purpose of presenting voluminous and
largely signed remonstranQ Eainst the
pardon of the murderer of nef husband
and to add her earnest protest against
such action being taken. Mrs. Hop
kins is but twenty-five years of age, a
pretty brunette and dresses in the
deepest mourning. She is an intellI-
gent woman and seemed to create an
exceedingly favorable impression upon
the board. The hearing before the
board has established the fact that the
majority of the people in the vicinity of
ParkerSville, who were acquainted
with the circumstances of the killing,
are opposed to a pardon being granted
Day, and that being the case, he will,
ia all probability, serve his term out.

less prove to be true.-Stat0 Journal.
