Assam and Chinese Teas.

Tea came into use almost by acct
dent. Some Buddhist priests, going
on a missionary expedition from North
ern India to China. took with them the
dried leaves and also some cuttings of
an indigenous shrub, which was said
to have the power of correcting any
injurious properties in the brackish
water they might meet with on the
way. The decoction thus made pleased
the missionaries 20 we'll that they con-
tinued, as matter of taste, to drink it
after they had reached China, and in
PRODUCED it to their converts. They
also set about planting the precious
shrub. and. although it did not thrive

formed the foundation of the favorite
beverage of all China. Thence it was
brought to Europs, to be drunk and

THE COM NC MOTOR.

Electricity rs Q Universal 6ubStik.he for
Steam.
There was a time when wfld and
water acting directly upon wheels Of
more or less ingenious form and con-
struction supplied the power necessary
for the rude machinery Of thu age.
The world made a step in the direc-
ton OF progress. and then steam
achieved wonders.
There has now been discovered a
greater. safer and cheaper power, and
the steam engine is destined to occupy
its place by the side OF the water
wheel. as one of 80 many old inven-
tions which have fulfilled their mission
and have been superseded.
10 many of our readers this will
seem like an extract from Jules Verne.
To speak disrespcotfully Of steam will
be, in their opinion, just like BIAS
phemy against the multiplication to-
BILE. Nevertheless, it is already ar ac-
complished fact that hundreds of boil
ers have been set aside by manufact-
urers and mechanics simply because
there has been discovered better and
cheaper kind of machinery by which
the work of the whole world can be
done. Their shops and factories are
provided with the substitute, and the
work is done more safely, more eco
nomically and more rapidly than be-
fore.
What is this substitution for steam?
Why. electricity, to be sure.
Will electricity. then. do all that
steam can do? Certainly it will, and
it is destined in time to take the place
of steam, just as steam has taken the
place of the water wheel. No doubt
steam engines will always be used,
just the same as water wheels are still
used under circumstances which ex-
clude the advantageous methods of
science.
It is q revolution in science which is
already under way and which is pro-
crossing with astonishing rapidity. 1t
is true that the final results have not
yet been arrived at on the score of
cheapness and simplification of the
methods by means of which this power
is to be applied. and in many cases has
been subjected to continuous working
in factories and shops In the supply
of small power-that which machin-
lists call "cat-power" in contra dis
tinction from "horse-power," the cleo
trio motor has made great progress.
The best illustration of it's success in
this respect is shown by it's being ap-
piled to sewing machines, looms.
cloth-cutters and q hundred other ma
Chimes, the mere enumeration OF
which would occupy too much space.

We!lington's Courtesy.

The Duke detested being helped;
not from ingratitude, but from two
distinct feelings-one that he did not
like to be thought what he certainly
was not-decrepit; the other that he
knew very we'll that the majority of
persons who helped him simply did so
in order to be able to say that they
had done so, This was to him revolt
ing. Standing opposite to Apsley
House in Piecadilly in the evening,
when the street was even more crowd
ed than it is now. the Duke was hesi-
Eating on the curbstone. A gentle
man nearly as old az himself made
some demonstration of assisting
him to cross the road, endeavor-
ing to check the tide of cabs
and other vehicles that was setting
strongly. When the Duke reached the
gate of Apsley House he touched his
hat and saih Il thank you, SIR"
The elderly stranger Immediately I'M
covered. Holding his hat on his knee,
he addressed the Duke as follows:
MY Lord, I have passed a long and
not uneventful life, but never did I
hope to reach the day when might be
OF the slightest assistance to the great
est man that ever lived" The Duke
looked at him calmly. and in a voice
not in the least chohed by emotion, re-
piled: Don't be q - foolp' and
walked into Apsley House. Words

PARTISAN FUNERALS.
Takes Place Two Days After Death,
or kVcn Sooner.

or kvcn Sooner.
The French method of dying must
necessarily be similar to that of the
entire remaining world. but the same
thing can not be said of their funerals.
Burial takes place two days after death,
Or even sooner. The body is dressed
On the day of burial and viewed by a
Jew friends, and then. very early in
the morning, the coffin is carried down
perhaps eight OR ten flights Of stairs,
and is placed on a catafalque in the
courtyard, beside the eoncierge's
lodge, aud in full view of the public.
Hideous wreaths (seldom fresh) of ex-
pressionless black, white or blue i'm
mortelles are piled around, and near
these is placed an urn of holy water.
For three or four hours the coffin keeps
its lonely vigil, and every man, woL-an
and child that passes by. no matter
what their respective occupations,
makes it point to step in for mo-
ment to mutter short prayer for the
dead and sprinkle holy water before
passing on their accustomed way. The
requieum services at the church are
very much the same as elsewhere, but
IN some of the provincial towns a few
strange customs are still retained.
remember. writes a Paris eorre-
spondent, once attending the funeral
of young girl in Fontainebleau,
where they sang part of the service
through hollow, resonant trumpets,
and any thing more depressing or
melancholy could scarcely be imagined.
The cemetery of Pere La Chaise, so
called after the confessor of Louis
XIV, covers no less than one hundred
and fourteen acres, and is situated al
most in the heart of Paris. On fete
days, and especially on the feast of
All Souls, this cemetery is thronged
with people bearing great quantities
OF paper flowers and wreaths and
crosses of the always ugly and popular
tmmortelles, to place on the tombs of
their departed friends. It is one not
ably admirable trait Of the French
that they never, under any circum-
stances, forget their dead. The tombs
and monuments of Pere La Chaise,
while very handsome and costly. par
take to a great extent of the same
character, and are exceedingly
gloomy. There are a few simple
graves in proportion to the pre-
tentious tombs, and these latter most
frequently take the form of small
stone or marble chapels through
whose open doors may be seen mlnia-
ture affairs arranged in spotless linen
and containing statues of the Virgin,
ST. Joseph or the family patron saint.

JUSTICE Hollis CHARM.

"Reminiscences of Celebrated English
Jurist OF the Last Century.
A singular story is told of Chief
Justice Holt, a celebrated English
jurist of the last century. When lad
he was wild and fond of adventure, and
on one occasion he found himself with
out money at a country inn. While in
doubt how to pay his bill, he noticed
child lying sick in the room. Learn
ing that it had the ague, and that the
doctors could not cure it. he wrote
some words at random on a piece of
parchment and told the mother to tie
it round the child's wrist, and thus
cure the ague. The woman obeyed.
and the delighted parents asked Holt
to accept his board in payment for his
medical services.
Years after, when Holt had become
Lord Chief-Justice, woman was tiled
before him for witchcraft Part of the
evidence against her was the possess
sion of the very amulet which the
judge many years previously had him
self prepared as a joke. The woman
turned out to be Hollis hostess, and
the Judge told her from the bench
how she had been deceived. For years
she had used the charm with immense
success.
Paracelsus had ring which he
called electrum and with which he
protested to cure any kind of pain. It
was only necessary to wear it. and
even epilepsy would vanish.
Lameness is cured in some parts
of England by sleeping on stones in
the open air. Sciatica, Or boneshave,
as it is also called, is cured by the
sufferer lying on his back by the side
of brook and invoking aid in a four
line verse.
During the London plague amulets
Of arsenic were hung over the heart
and an immense quantity of arsenic
was used for the purpose. Quilts of
quicksilver were worn on the neck for
the same purpose.
Pope Adrian and Queen Elizabeth
both wore toad amulets. These were
prepared by MIXING dried toad with
arsenic, tormentil, pearl coral, hya-
cinth, emerald and tragacanth.-S

Roman Catholic Church.
Every morning before addressing

Of this planet, he offers the sacrifice of

chaplain is the celebrant. With a
mind thus attuned to divine things,
the Pope then begins his working day.

sufices to break his fast After going
through his papers he begins to re-
ceive about nine. From that hour
until one in the afternoon the throng
of visitors never slackens. Secreta-
ries ambassadors cardinals from the
congregation, distinguished stran-
gers, bishops from afar, have audience
in turn. There ara 1900 bishops in
the Catholic church, and with all of

Eve hours spent in this way he returns
to his papers and his books until three,
when he dimes. His meal is frugal;
little soup, two courses of meat with
vegetables and dessert of fruit, with
one glass of strong wine, suffice for his
wants. After dinner he goes out for
drive or a walk in the garden of the
Vatican. In the evening he resumes
his papers, and at night between nine
and ten, all the members of the papal
household assemble for the rosary,
after which they retire to rest. But
long after that hour the Cardinal State
