TEA DRUNKARDs.-In closing what
is to be said about tea. one word seems
necessary in regard to tea-drunkards.
Their number is legion; they are Of
both sexes, but more of women than
men. Instead of using tea in modera-
ton, or as an occasional beverage, they
swill it down three or more times a day,
in quantities that are incompatible with
health. They are as much slaves to the
teapot as the drunkard is to his bottle.
They are tea-drunkards Tea, in any
thing but great moderation, is poison
capable of running the stomach, enfeeb-
ling and disordering the hearts action,
SCATTERING the nerves and running the
health and happiness of the victim. A
tea-drunkard may be defined as one
who drinks strong tea several times a
day, who depends on it instead Of
food and rest for strength, and who
cannot go without it without bringing
on distressing symptoms.-Eating for
Strength.

CLEANSING LIQUIDs.-Water in which

markable cleansing properties upon
silverware of all kinds, especially upon
spoons discolored by eggs. Hyposul-
phite of soda dissolved 10 water will
remove all tarnish from silverware in
two or three applications, if applied
with soft cloth wet with the solution.

There IS a hollow old oak tree on the
town and county line between Lebanon
and Columbia, Conn, that for several
year distilled instead Of sap a very fair
brand of oak-tanned bluegrass
whisky, New England rum, and oc.
casionally, in droughty weather, do
mestic ales and beer. During all that
time the officers of the law had re.
marked q phenomenal overflow of spirits
on the part Of the staid and pious old
farmers OF Lebanon, who vote for prohi.
bition, and they readily understood that
somebody had q cache Of balm some.
where within the towns limit, but
every raid they made on the premises o,
suspected persons was unfruitful. II
was not until a few weeks ago that the
secret of the hidden rum was laid bare
by a deacon in the church, who acct.
dentally stumbled on the bank Of ex.
ahange and deposit in the silent and
faithful old oak. As he was a man un.
LouDieu Win ho-iiSShoo bhiiSVs NC gave
the whole thing away. Piece by piece
the news transpired that the old oaker
bank had been in the hands OF q dexter
Gus and thrifty receiver, a Lebanon
man, who twice a week filled the oaks
till with rum, gin, whisky or beer from
Norwich, and nightly a stakeholder o,
two came stealthily with a jug, or mill
can, or tin pail and drew on the funds
In payment for the privilege he lef'
collateral security by the side of the de
posit in the tree. Since the good dea
cons fortuitous trip to the tree the ole
oak bank has gone into involuntary
l%inuidation.

Jacks Gang Lynched,

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 1.-The Republics
special from Cheyenne, Wyo., says: A
report to the effect that the peo-
pie of Big Horn basin, johnson county,
have broken up Kettle Jacks gang OF
thieves and cut-throats by lynching
eleven of them and driving the re-
mainder Of them out Of the country.
Kettle Jack and companions arrived in
that region about a year ago. After
being reinforced by a number of des-
perate charactres they began to plumber
the settlers. Farmer Jones and two
sons pursued the gang and made a fight
for some OF their stolen property, but
were shot down. The people living in
the basin, some 500 in number, lived in
mortal terror of Kettle Jacks band.
Jack made a captive of and forced into
marriage the daughter Of a leading citi-
zen. The father headed q rescuing
party, but the rescners were defeated
with a loss of two killed and a half a
dozen wounded. Jack grew holder and
holder, until the citizens determined to
wipe out the outlaws. They succeeded
in storming tho campo of the desperadoes
and the lynching followed.

The latest and perhaps the most in
genious application of the automatic
principle is to be found in a machine
for banking purposes, invented and pat
ented by John Hope, mechanical engi-
neer, Liverpool. When a penny or two
h~alf-pennies are pressed into Mr.. Hopes
automatic bank, the depositor pulls out
O drawer and finds n printed ticket
bearing q number in duplicate. He
writes his name and address on the
ticket, which has been pressed into a
cavity in the machine made to receive
it, keeping the other half with the cor
responding number. Thus, when those
in charge of the automatic bank clear it
of the tickets in order TO enter them
upon their books, each depositor has tho
duplicates Of the tickets bearing his
name and address. In this way absolute
accuracy is obtained, and depositors are
credited with the exact amount they
have put into the machine. Each
machine is capable Of holding e5 in pen
MES or h~alf-pennies.

Ball Players i'm Court.

New YORK, Dec. 12.-The legal con-
test between the National Base Ball
league and the League of the Brother
hood Ball Players has at last begun.
John l. Rogers, league lawyer, having
recovered from his late sickness, came
to town. He met President Day Of the
New York club at his office, and they at
once went to the office Of Evarts, Choate
d Beaman, where they met President
Byrne Of the Brooklyn club. 1t was
decided to make the first case a test, in
which John NJ. Ward should be defend
ant. A general plan was agreed upon
but this was kept secret for the simple
reason that to make known their work.
ings would be TO put Ward and his
counsel on their guard. The papers in
the case against Ward were drawn.
Their contents will not be made known
until they are filed in court tomorrow.
The lawyers Of the New York club feel
certain that they have a case against
Ward, and it is known that the league
and the word reserve" will
play only a minor part in the suit.

LONDON, Dec. IA very singular
and extraordinary story was related to
Magistrate Corser at the Dalston police
court, concerning the m~isadventures of
n Ellen Page. She has been in the
service of a Mr.. Goodship for three
years and her conduct under ordinary
conditions is unexceptionable, but she
has peculiarities. Some three years
ago, for example, she went into q trance
and was certified by the medical officer
TO be dead. She vas put into a coffin
and after three days when she was
about to be buried, she showed signs of
life and was restored to her friends.
Mr.. Goodship, on his return home from
business a few days ago, saw the girl
calmly seated in his chair, but plainly
quite oblivious of her surroundings. In
a somewhat similar state of semi-un-
consciousness or hypnotism she wan
dered into a boot and shoe store and
possessed herself of two pairs of shoes,
an act for which she was arrested. The
evidence of the singular predisposition
to which the girl is subject left no doubt
upon the magistrates mind that she had
no dishonest intent when she took the
shoes, and he accordingly discharged
her.

I'm the prunkard,s Class.

DUBUQUE, To-, Dec. IA new phase
Of the state prohibitory law has devel
oped in Cascade, Dubuque county.
There Is a clause in the law that EN-.
powers the sheriff OF any county to have
jurisdiction within 500 yards of the
county line. Cascade being just on the
dividing line between Dubuque and
Jones counties, comes within the juris.
diction of the latter county. He has
just summoned a number of prominent
citizens Of that town. including the
mayor, most Of the city council and
other officials, as habitual drunkards, to
appear at Anamosa, the county seat OF
Jones county, and testify against the
fourteen saloonkeepers OF Cascade. The
people summoned are naturally much
worked up and the postmaster is accused
of being the informer.

Efforts Being Made to Politically Rehab-

ilitate the General.
PARIS, Dec. 12.-There are signs of q
reaction in favor Of General Boulanger.
The decision of the chamber of deputies
seating NJ. Joifrin, who received q mi
nority OF votes in the Montmartre dis
trict, causes discomfort not only there
but throughout the city. The con-
%stituency angrily protest against the
i~nvalidation of General Boulanger's
elections and threats are made
that Joffrin will not be allowed to
take the seat. The feeling is gaining
ground in the provinces as well as in
the city that Boulanger has been un-
justly treated, and his friends, who
have been silent for some time, are
speaking up for him. The stream of
visitors to the Isle OF Jersey is increas-
ing. The general is to hold q grand re-
ception at st. Heller next Sunday, and
a hall has been engaged for the occa-
sion. A banquet will be given, for
which covers will be laid for 500 guests.
Relations have been resumed between
the general and n number Of his former
financial hackers. The agitation is 70
be renewed for his return to the cham
Der, and plans are being made for pro-
posing his name at the first convenient
to fill a vacant seat.
