Not Wholly Ornamental.

Every seat in the North State Street car
was taken and four or five persons were
standing. One of the latter was q young
woman, who stood near the middle ofthe car.
A tall young man, rather too slim for his
height from atheletic point of view, rose from
his seat near the rear door and stepped for
ward to inform the young woman, who was
looking the other way, that there was a seat
for her. As he did 80 man dropped into it.
81 beg your pardon" said the young man,
II didn't get up to give you seat"
"But got it," said the man.
81 int nded it for the young lady, said the
young fellow.
"But got it," retorted the other with a
sneer.
He was the bigger man, but the young fell
lows hands descended on his shoulders and he
was on his feet and on the platform before he
knew it.
Conductor Conductor !" he cried; but the
conductor had a far away look In his eyes
and was interested in something going on
down the street. The man was in the street
before he had time to call out again.
The hero-for he was hero in the eyes of
the passengers by this timc-re-entered the
car, and lifting his hat he politely said,-
Madam, there is q seat for you"
And the passengers were so tickled that they
actually began to clap their hands. The
young man simply smiled and said:
college athletics are of some value now
and them"
Then he leaned up against the front door
and become absorbed in paper, while the
women watched him admiringly.

BOraX Baths.

Delicate women, says the Detroit Journal,
writers and sedentary persons who feel chilly
even in the summer should never sit without
foot-warmers or furined slippers If at all chilly.
Mental exercises exhaust the bodily heat
You remember how George Eliot always
was chilly when writing, and many profess
sional worker recognizes the familiar feeling.
Hot baths, with plenty of borax in the water,
and friction afterward, get up q healthy
action of the skin, which leaves the face fair
and opal-tinted hours afterward.
One of the most beautiful compilations
knew is kept by this practice, Joined to care In
eating. The eyes will be dark and bright after
such bath, but if you want to insure their
brilliancy pharmacist who studies these
things says one must eat freely of tomatoes
for the sake of the atrophine or its kindred
quality they contain. Certainly, wholesome
tomatoes keep skin and eyes in good condi-
ton as far as food can do It.

Tea Nomenclature.

Bohea is the name of the hills in China
among which that tea is grown. Pekoa
downy appearance of tender leaves; Hyson
means "before the rain," or "fourishing
spring; Souchong is "smaIl plant ), Congo
misspelt Congou-means labor, anu is ex-
pressive of the extra care taken in the pre-
paration of that kind of tea. There are two
principal varieties of the tea plant. Thea
bohea is that which is cultivated in the black
tea country, the district adjacent to Canton.
Thea viridis is grown in the northern, or
what is called the green-tea districts of China.
The difference in the color and favor in teas
arises from drying and manipulation.

Whittier's M0cking-Bird.

In bird store over the west side few
days ago, l was much interested in the efforts
made by the proprietor of the aviary to in.
ducc prospective customer to purchase o
full-throated hooking bird.
TIE dubious patron objected that be had
heard that birds of that variety never lived
for more than five years, that they often died
within much shorter period and that he
was unwilling to expend his money on q
songster whose voice would be so soon hush
ed
1t was in vain that the shopkeeper argued
that the tale of a mocking birds years was
much longer than was generally supposed,
and that the five year limit was q mere super
stitious fiction. The preconceived notion
was indestructible and the anticipated custo-
mer left the shop unconvinced.
As passed on was reminded of an incl
dent related to me on the occasion of visit
to the poet Whittier at his home at Oak Knoll
little over year ago. 1t was the sage of
Danver's eightieth birthday, and while he
was receiving group of literary dignitaries
in his coZy parlor, was having a delightful
chat with his charming little eighteen-year
old niece, Phebe. in the library.
Phebe's love for the domestic pets is only
second 10 that for her uncle, and it was with
intense pride that she exhibited the great
UidCk Cdt, WuUm SuO CuIlsttneu nip van
Wrinkle in Joe Jefferson's honor, and the
hooking bird whose songs in many keys
are scarcely less tuneful than those of the gray
bearded Quaker.
The Cat and the bird are in perfect accord,
aud togethe with the magnificent Newfound-
land who is always at Mr.. Whittier's side,
formssas Phebe says, "a perfectly happy fami-
ly of three" How old is be?" Phebe re-
peated, when / asked about the birds age /;
"Oh, he is ever so many years ahead of me"
with a blush and laugh and then she told
me of visit paid to Oak Knoll some time
before by rather pretentious Boston gentle
man, who had reuark- as he entered the
library, "Ah, s; 2 you indulge in the luxury
of mockingbird. Well, sir, mark my word,
you will not keep him long,"
To this sage observation Mr.. Whittier re-
piled dryly: "No, indeed, fear not. He
has been in the family for more than twenty
five years now"
Whether that bird is still in the land of the
living is more than can say, but the fact of
the possibility of a mockipg-bird's longevity
is to my mind we'll established, if only on
bright eyed Phebes authority.
