The writer has spent, at least, the
better part of his life growing and cur
ing tea and coffee, and however want
ing he may be in giving expression to
his ideas, he is surely in q position to
advise the general reader on subject
with which he is we'll acquainted.
First, then, deal with reliable people;
and, secondly, buy what they consider
the purest and the most carefully pre-
pared tea and coffee they can supply
you with, without demanding the same
at price at which you know yourself
first-class produce cannot be imported.
Ifit should so please you to take this
little piece of advise, you will find that,
In the end, it will not prove in any
way extravagant, and it may add a
year or two to the length of your days.

The White Cap organization is en-
titled to the most serious consideration
by the authorities, in way, too, that
will effectually check its lawless pro-
gress. When its members become SO
intoxicated with their success in whip
ping defenseless men and women late
at night that they are led to threaten
towns and cities with confagration, it
is high time to attend to them summar-
lily. Governor Foraker was quick to
use the militia against few starving
miners, and should be prompt to act
against lawless organization which
has not even the excuse of starvation
for its existence.-Dayton Monitor.

Another Novelty I'm Slang.

The chestnut" as slang phrase, is
done with, frost-bitten, quite, and an
equally meaningless word has been SUBJ
stituted. 1t is "dusty." Do you ad-
mire anything from stylish toilet to a
dainty dish, you are privileged to say,
"there is nothing dusty" about that" "
On the whole, when one takes time to
consider, there is more sense in "dusty"
than in most fashionable slang. A
dusty object suggests one whose fresh
ness is dispoiled. Just how the "chest-
nut" was ever significant, no one has
yet clearly defined.-January Table
