Tea Drinking.

The caste in tea drinking seems TO
vary with the latitude and longitude
OF the drinker. We have laughed a
good dea! at those individuals who,
when tea was first introd uced to
Christendom. had it boiled and sery-
ed as green's" but to day in the
islands of Japan some of the finest
teas are pulverisOd, stirred in the
boiling Rater, and drank off at a
gulp, SO that powdered as well as
fluid may be taken. This, however,
is the nearest approach known to
our ancestral error. The well-to do
s Chinese do not always make their
tea and let it stand, as we do. in the
pot; but pinch of leaves being
dropped into cup, and DIT of
pierced metal being dropped over
the leaves to prevent their floating,
the hot water is added, and the little
top saucer is put in place til the tea
is drawn, when it is uncovered and
s'pped. We-and our grandmothers
before us did the same-add either
slgar or cream to our tea, and some.

Education Of the Human eve.

The following story from the Penn
Monthly is related to Agassiz, and it is
sufficiently characteristic of this re-
markably accurate observer to have
the merit of probability. We are told
that once upon time the professor
had occasion to select an assistant
from one of his classes. There We're
number of candidates for the post of
honor, and finding himself in guam
Diary as to which one he should choose,
the happy thought occurred to him of
subjecting three of the more promising
students in turn to the simple test of
describing the view from his laboratory
window, which overlooked the side
yard of the college One said that he
saw merely broad fence and brick
pavement; another added stream of
soapy water; a third detected the
color of paint on the fence, noted
green mould or fungus on the bricks,
and evidences of "blueing" in the
water, besides other details. 1t is need
less to tell which candidate was awarded
the coveted position.
Houdin, the celebrated prestigiator,
attributed his success in his profession
mainly to his quickness of perception,
which, he tells us in his entertaining
autobiography, he acquired by educat-
ing his eyes to detect large number
of objects at a single glance. His sim
pie plan was to select shop window
full of a miscellaneous assortment of
articles, and walk rapidly past it
number of times every day, writing
down each object which impressed it
self on his mind. In this way he was
able, after time, to detect instanta-
neously all of the articles in the win
dow, even though they might be num-
bered by scores.

Negro Medical Practice.

A peculiar set of negroes, who rely
partly on their songs of incarnation
for mercenary trickery, are the " lizard"
doctors. Almost every negro COM
munity has one or more of these
quacks. A negro is seized with some
acute disease, and, particularly if he
is bilious, is very apt to imagine that a
lizard is making havoc with his vitals.
So the lizard doctor is summoned. He
makes an examination, sings one or
two "charm" songs addressed to the
lizard, then gives the patient some
simple emetic. After the medicine has
operated the fellow juggles live lizard
out of his sleeve and shows it triumph
antly to the sufferer. whose natural
recovery is often surprisingly fastened
by the effect on his Imagination. A
higher grade of doctors are a class
of old black women called locally
grannies," who unite with their
medical practice some of the songs and
rites of the Voudoos in Louisiana,
further down the Mississippi. But
these grannies really know some secret
decoctions of herbs very efficacious in a
certain class of diseases, and which
the white doctors have tried hard, but
as yet in vain, to detect. These medi-
cal secrets are transmitted carefully
from generation to generation of
grannies, who are much respected as
well as feared by the superstitious
blacks.

Insanity and Crime.

The relation between insanity and
crimeis one both of cause and of effect
Esquirol has shown an increase of
insanity and suicides at each outbreak
of the French revolution. Lumier
declares that the excitements of 1870
and 1871 were the more or less indirect
causes of 1900 cases of insanity. This
simply means that the same morbid
elements, tending to pronounced
criminality in another, is brought to
the front by the common cause. Very
frequently, too, both tendencies can be
seen in the same individuals. Marat,
for example, had attacks of maniacal
exaltation, and passion for contin-
ually scribbling. He had sloping
forehead, was prognathous, had a
prominent jaw and high cheek bones,
and a haggard eye all of which CORE
spond closely with the insane type of
face. Later his delusion of ambition
changed into one of persecution and
homicidal monomania. DR.. Lombroso
cites case. after case, all telling the
same story. He includes Guiteau in
this list, and agrees with the opinion
of an Italian aienist that his trial was
simply "scandalous." The real place
for such beings is in much needed
institution, an asylum for insane
criminals.
DR.. Carver the well-known rifle
shot, says that an orange hit in the ex-
Jet center by a riflc-ball will vanish at
,nce from sight. An orange handed to
small boy will vanish almost as quick
", without wasting riie-ball ON it

Do Not Fret.

EVERY enc of these doors creaks
so horribly tnatlt almost sets me
wild,' exclaimed tired housekeeper,
who was trying to rest little after
the labors of a wearisome day. Now
this was not the first, perhaps it was
the twentieth time she had made the
same, or similar remark about the
creaking of the doors, when with the
aid ola bottle of oil and feather
she might have made them swing
n0iselessly and saved herself all the
annoyance she had suffered.
1t isa great deal easier to make
suggestions than to follow them; but
it seems to me that the 'golden rule"
for housekeepers might be this: I'll
anything goes wrong for which there
is q remedy, apply it as soon as pos
sible; if there is absolutely no rem
edy, do not fret, but make the best
of it,
/ believe that often it is not the
work that makes us feel SO thor
oughly weary at the end Of the week,
as worrying over it. ! remember
fretting good deal over some
Thanksgiving pies, complaining that
! always spoiled them by putting in
too much of one thing or another,
when my sister quietly remarked
that perhaps put too much anxiety
into them. l saw the point and re.
solved henceforth to do the best
could with my cooking, andto worry
less over results. Of course I had
afterwards better success, and far
more peace of mind.
There aae days in the experience
ofevery housekeeper when everything
seems determined to go wrong, and
a perfect avalanche of little troubles
and perplexities seems to overwhelm
one. Then, indeed, is she that ruleth
her spirit "better than he that taketh
city,
But how often at the close of such
a day have we looked back and seen
that all came right at last in spite of
our forebodings. and we have wished
SO much that We could haye been
self.controlled and sweet-tempered
through it all.
IL is so natural TO magnify little
troubles instead of remembering that
they are not worth fretting about. If
at breakfast the biscuits are little
too yellow. and the steak trife
overdone, in almost every case no
one will be troubled about it if you
are not.
Ii the coffee is not just exactly
right, no one will notice it unless
you call attention to it by some dis
paraging remark. Especially should
we guard against habit of fretting
because of the discomfort it causes
those about us, and the bad influence
1T has upon them. If the beusekeep.
er frets, the children do the same,
and the servants also, for nothing is
more contagious, and we have any
thing but happy household. How
ever badly things may go, nothing Is
gained by worrying over them, and
and if we cannot be always bright
and cheerful, we can at least endure
patiently till the storm passes over
and the sunshine returns, as it surely
will in due time..--MARIoN REY-
