A Legend for Tea Drinkers.

There Is curious old japanese legend
which processes to account for the origin Of
the tea plant. Somewhere about the year
SIG A. D., certain Buddhist priest of great
sanctity paid visit to the celestial empire,
and, in order TO devote himself entirely to the
service OF God, he solernnly vowed upon ono
occasion that be would not go to sleep for the
remainder Of his earthly life, but spend his
time in perpetual meditation. Years rolled
by, until at last one sultry day nature assert
ed herself, and the poor devotee Of Buddha
fell fast asleep So great was his remorse
when he awoke that, in order to preclude the
possibility of repetition Of slumber, he there
and then cut of both his eyelashes and flung
them on the ground Passing By the spot
next day, great was his astonishnent at be-
holding each eyelasn metamorphosed into a
shrub and exhibiting the form OF an eyelid
bordered with lashss, and possessing the gift
of hinderipg Sleep From these two shrubs,
concludes the legend sprang the tea plant

Leicester's NIGHTINGALE.

All hearts are akin in love of the beauti-
full, whether that be found in music or in such
creations as minister to the eye. A charming
story comes from England this spring, show
ing the power over humanity of one little
feathered creature to which God has given q
musical throat.
Near Leicester nightingale has established
itself in plot Of ground, and there it sings
for four or five hours every night. Its fame
has spread abroad, and every evening crowds
of people line the road near the trees where
the bird has its haunt. They wait patiently
until the music begins, and most of them re-
main until midnight, while few enthusiasts
linger even until one or two o'clock In the
morning.
The bird usually sings in large thorn bush
just over the mouth of railroad tunnel, but
he is quite needless Of noise or smoke or
steam, and continues his song with the same
rapture and assurance as be might feel in the
heart of country garden
This nightly concert has become so estab-
ished as regular custom that several police
men are detailed for the purpose of keeping
order in the crowd. This, however, seems
quite unnecessary, except as precautionary
measure, for every one is too iutently occu.

OVER HORSE HOE FALLS.
Steve Brodie Makes Successful Trip at
Niagara.

CLIFTON. Ont, Sept. Steve Brodie
went over the Horseshoe Falls this morning
in rubber suit. He was picked up below
the falls in an unconscious condition and
taken to Clifton. He recovered conscious
ness not long after and an examination
showed that he was not seriously injured
In describing his experience, Brodle says
that after he entered the river lie weaken
ed and would have given anything in the
world if he could have reached terra hrma
once more He attempted to get ashore by
using his paddles when the swift current
swept him back and turned his feet to-
wards the brink of the cataract When
he saw that il was impossible to get out he
felt the same as a man that was to meet
death and prayed for dear life. Just as he
came to the edge of the falls he became
unconscious through fright and remained
so until he struck the water. He again
lost consciousness and knew no more I'M
til he found himself lying on his rubber
suit at the waters edge. There is no
doubt that Brodie successfully went over
the falls.
ARRESTED FOR ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Chief McDcugal, of the Montreal police,
arrested Brodie at the Grand Trunk station
as he was about to take the New York 400
train He is charged with attempting
suicide by going over the falls.
Brodie was brought before Police Magis-
trate Hill this evening, who read the
charge made against him. In defense
Bradie said he did not attempt to commit
suicide, but 10 show the world that the
trip could he made. The police mag strate
said he did not believe Brodie went over
the falls at all; that il was gotten up
to humbug the people But if he persisted
in saying he went over the case would
90 on.
Brodie said: eff tell you did not go
over will you let me goi"
"Yes," said the magistrate.
We'll, them" said Brodie, 81 did not go
over"
The magistrate said that was not enough
and wrote out an affidavit that BrOdie did
not go over the falls and asked Brodie to
sign it. Brodie refused, saying he was a
Catholic and would not perjure himsef
The magistrate then went on with the
prosecution.
Several witnesses corroborated the story
that Brodie had told them. The mags-
trate summed up the evidence and boun d
over the prisoner in the sum of $500 on his
own recogniZance to keep the laws of the
dominion for one year and especially that
relating to ATTEMPTS to go over the falls.
Brodie Immediately made for the Ameri-
can side. He was very nervous and ex-
cited during the trial and proceedings.

THE GRAND PREREQUISITE OF VIGOR

The dual operation Of digestion and as
similation is the grand prerequisite of
vigor. To insure the conversion of food
into rich nutritious blood, it is only neces-
sary to use with persistence and systemat-
ically Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. the
fountain head of supply in the animal
economy is the stomach. To regulate, to
invigorate that organ, and thus facilitate
its digestion and assimilative processes
should be the chief aim of those troubled
with a deficit of stamina Nervousness,
insomnia, feeble appetite-these are usual
ly traceable TO impaired digestion. Over
come this and you of necessity dismiss its
multifarious; perplexing. and harassing
symptoms The emanciated can never
hope to gain flesh so long as assimilation
is imperfect. The bitters surmounts the
only obstacle to an increase. not only of
vigor, but Of bodily substance. Conquer
also with the bitters malaria. kidney and

matte trouble. Thorougnness characteriz-

Of storage for hay and grain Cars need
les spaee Of track, and the pavement Is not
broken up by the incessant tramp Of horses
But the point OF perhaps most Importance to
the general public is the decrease Of noise
With rubber payeaents, the use Of electric

feet, with a clear space between the ground
and the keystone of sixty-fve feet. 1t will be-

SULLIYAN,S RECEPTION.

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-After many post
| ponements and delays the long heralded
| reception to j. l.. Sullivan was held at the
academy of music tonight. Fourteenth
street from Third to Fourth avenue was
filled with motley crowd of Sullivan's
admirers and when the champions car
riage appeared it was almost impossible
for the driver to bring it the curb stone.
When the champion alighted the cheering
was tremendous. The audience in the
academy was nearly AS large as had been
expected. Long rows of empty chairs
stretched along on either side. The reason
for this presumably was the high price
charged for admission.
The program was a comparatively tame
one. Sullivan appeared late In the eve
ming He has lost none of his old time
quickuess and grace and he never appeared
to better advantage than IN ms o9ut witn
Mike Cleary. His appearance on the stage
was the signal for tumultuous applase
which lasted fully fifteen minutes. The
big fellow stepped to. the footlights and
made one of his characteristic speeches.
He said: Gentlemen, or rather ladies
and gentlemen, for notice several ladies
present, l do not know what to
say to you. / am at present
suffering from sad affiiction-the loss of
my mother-but | wish to thank the New
York public for their Kindness to me.
They have always been kind to me and |
never shall forget it. l beg to remain
your humble servant"
Sullivan then turned and shook hands
with Cleary and the audience were treated
to fine exhibition of scientific boxing
The boxing ELECTED much applause and
when the two rounds for which they had
engaged were ended the pugilists retired
