Tea Drinking increasing.

A New York tea dealer sGys that in
few years coffee will not be in the race
with tea, and that the number of tea
drinkers is increasing greatly. Now in
England the people drink tea as much,
if not more than coifec--whilc here we
have a nation of coffee drinkers. Look
at the big tea houses now prospcring
in this country. The demand for the
seductive weed is becoming greater,
especially in large cities. Fashionable
afternoon teas and the habit of handing
tea around ut receptions show just how
it is being drunk. The fine CCylon tea
now in vogue is healthy drink and has
splendid flavor. All through the west
coffee is becoming less popular and tea
is the popular drink.

COLLEGE NfCKNAMES.
They Are Queer Things, but All "Goo,.
Fellows" Have Them.

amy HEe Sueer DuC All "GOOIA
Fellows" Have Them.
College nicknames are queer things,
anyway. A student is, as the phrase
goes, no good" unless he has a nick
name, and professor has no place in
the college world unless he has label
of this sort. Niclnames for the under
graduates are generally fixed early in
the college career, and often express
the sophomore idoa of q freshman's
characteristics. With the professors it
IS different, for their nicknamcs are
based on traditions dear to the COLLEGE
heart, says writer in the New York
Tribune. Thus, Il professor goes along
from year to year with the label
fastened upon him way back in the fif-
tics 1t may be, and, quecrly enough,
time, which changes all things, never
sees fit to question the appropriateness
OF these nicknames or to change an old
one for a new one.
The president is sure to have a handle
to his name. He may be 'Prexy," as
at Yale; Jimmy" as every graduate
of Princeton loves to call eX-President
McCosh, or ''Charlie,'' as they dub Pres
idcnt Eliot at Harvard. For the pro-
fessors there are q thousand and one
names suggested by personal character
isticS. affiliations, duties, habits, etc. A
college in New Jersey, where nick
names are as thick as leaves in Vallom-
brosa, has its Ocean," it's Duff it's
Charlie" 4 gray-haircd reverend; it's
General" an old array officer; its
Daddy" a fatherless teacher; it's
''Pat," from Erin's Isle; its big Mac"
SO called because there is no Little
Mac" there; its ''Sistcr," it's "Bahy,"
its Granny" its 'Fatty," its Mary"
its "Bllly," etc, ETC., and SO on through
all sorts of ludicrous names suggestive,
at least to the student, of some well
known popularity of the person whose
name has been taken in vain. OF course
the professor is aware of the fact that
he is dubbed In this undignified way,
but nothing he can do or say can change
the sanction of tradition, and the nick
name sticks.
With the students the range of sobri-
quets is wider and more varied, con-
ditiOn due to the close relations be-
tween the nicknancr and the nick
named. Some we'll defined rules OBJ
tain, however, which show there is some
method in this phase of undergraduate
madness. Surnamcs often carry the
same niclznanes, although the persons
may not he related, and may be scpar-
ated by five or ten years in the timc OF
their residence at college. For instance.
Jones, 10, is dubbed Buck" and the
chances ere excellent that Jones, 80,
VIII receive the same nickname Why,
no one knows, but it is a curious in
stance of persistent personality. Again,
nicl1names received previously at school
or at homo count for n&ught, for the
collegian is no respectcr of traditions
outside of the college wordl So "Billy"
becomes SISTER" Jack is trans
formed into Freddy" "Joe" is elevated
into Senator" etc.

WESTPORT.

During 1890, there were 62 births, u
deaths and 81 marriages in Westport.
There were fewer births and more deaths
than in 1889.
Figures for the construction of the
large addition to the factory Of John D.
Wood are being submitted and it is prob
able that work on the building will be
commenced in the near future.
Little can be definitely learned regard
ing the plans of the Whytlaw gingham
manufacturing company Of Glasgow,
Scotland. 1t is believed that there are
good reasons for thinking that the COM
pany favorably regards the inducements
offered by Westport and may decide to
remove here. The company, which is
large and wealthy, wishes to leave Scot
land only because it believes that the
goods can be manufactured cheaper here
than in Scotland, when the duty on
bingham is added. The company has ex-
amined sites in many cities and villages
and has even visited the Pacific coast,
but the representatives. that no place

all was fully settled, the plans of the
Marshall & Terry shoe company leaked

change from their location at Brooklyn
and invited proposals from boards of
trade in various parts of the country.
Several in this part of the State respond
ed, but none seemed to offer such induce
ments rs Westport and committee visit
ed the village and inspected several sites.
Satisfaction was expressed, but decision
was reserved. Members of the board OF
trade, however, are apparently pleased
with the outlook. This company employs

STRATFORD.

Daniel Talmage is building house
near the lower dock and it is reported
that it is soon to be occupied by a new
son-in-law.
No assembly was held, last week, on
account of the ball of the Cupheags and
the lecture, the following night.
Cyrus Roberts, well known to many
Stratfordites and for years pupil in the
Stratford academy, when it was taught
by his uncle, Frederick Sedgwick, is now
captain of the United States infantry,
regular army, and has been fighting the
Indians in the far West. He entered
West Point, after leaving the Academy
as his term there had expired.
