A Fine Taste in Tea.

Mr.. Guy Maine, the Chinese lecturer,
related tho following instance in regard
to Chinese tea drinking the other even
ing to reporter. He said that when he
was boy about II years old he lived
with his father, who was a little near
sighted, in a cottage in the southern part
of China. One day he was cleaning out
his fathers tea kettle and could not get
all the tea leaves out, SO he put his hand
in the kettle. About q half hour after
ward his father called for his tea, which
Guy took to him and returned to
work. Shortly the old gentleman called
him again and asked him if he did not
tell him never to put his hand in the tea
kettle.
"Well," said Guy, II did not know
whether my father was peeking through
the keyhole watching me or not. So /
let three weeks pass when l knew my
father was out on business, and I again
put my hand in the tea kettle. That
evening was called to answer the ques-
ton which was asked me several weeks
before. But you can rest assured from
that time to this ! have never. put my
hand in any tea kettle. "-New York

Tattooins convicts for Identification.

''Tho latest fad in prison manage
ment, said prison official, sis tattoo
ing. 1t is ready means of Identified
ton, end is bound to become popular in
prison management. My idea is to tattoo
q convict every time he is imprisoned,
and then we'll have his record as clear as
the moon at midnight. Let each penal
institution adopt different mark or
monogram and the problem Of identify
ing convicts will be solved. 1t is the
simplest and best system yet proposed.
To some persons it may seem as harsh as
branding, but it isn't Tattooing isn't
painful, and the marks could be put on
the convict's back, arms or legs, and
would not embarrass reformed convicts.
Tattooing is now followed in several
penal institutions abroad. buffalo Ex-

Advantages of Imperfect Health.

Perfect health, while conducive to
mental serenity and soundness, has not
been shown to promote or produce de-
cided activity of intellect. The abso-
lutely healthy man is more likely to cx-
eel in the baseball field, more apt to de-
velop into being whose extreme type
of animal perfection is found in a Sulli-
van, than to become Humboldt OF a
Herschel. Perfect Drawn has not been
shown to lead to gifted brains. The man
whose body is apcrfcct machine, an
swering to all demands upon it, con-
ferring the keenest pleasures in life upon
its possessor, is the man to win fame in
fields where mere brain work is not the
desideratum. He will he foremost to
launch new enterprises and in opera
lions demanding risk, bodily exertions,
physical strain. These he will do be-
cause therein he finds safety valve for
his surplus vitality. He could not en-
dure the sedentary life which the close
student or the successful merchant finds
absolutely necessary for the conduct of
his professional or business duties.
But, on the other hand, the man whose
cratic liver or complaining stomach re-
minds him of the shortness and uncer-
tainty of things mundane, will be the
prudent, thoughtful, calculating and
generally successful business man. The
man whose imperfection of bodily health
gives him no hope Of enjoying life as he
otherwise would, will, according to the
divine law of compensation, find, in the
exercise of his mental faculties, what his
healthy brethren find in pleasures Of the
senses. If his tastes lie in the line Of
money getting, his admonishing liver OF
stomach help to make him shrewd, close,
calculating and prudent; make him look
ahead and prepare for reverses and the
i'll fortune that he cannot Danish from
his mind as the almost inevitable end of
the battle of life. Obeying his inward
monitors, he will assume no risks
where the healthy man would court such
in the fullness of his self confidence
and so the chronic victim Of a disordered
body will achieve success in business,
and, though at no time q brilliant man,
will not end his days in poverty. So,
too, will tho intellectually active man,
abandoning hope of perfect physical
health, achieve fame and distinction in
fields of thought. There is much to be
saidin favor Of the advantages of imper-
feet health.-Pittsburg Bulletin.
