TO CHECK HIS TEMPER.
A Wise French Ministers Plan for Over
Coming y Fault.

A Wise French Minister'S Plan for Over
Coming n Fault.
He who knows his fallings and tries
to correct them Is to be praised. says
the Saturday Evening Post though he
may not always succeed THE will
Is to DO praised though success be
wanting" says an old proverb The
following anecdote shows the simple
method French statesman used to
control his temper, which was apt to
take the bit in its mouth. -
When M. de Persigny was French
Minister OF the Interior. he received a
visit one day from friend. who. on
sending up his name. was shown into
the great mans sanctum. A warm
discussion arose between them.
Suddenly an usher entered. and
handed the minister note. On open
ing it he ut once changed his tone Of
voice. and assumed quiet and urbane
manner.
Puzzled rs to the contents OF the
note, and the marked effect 1t had sud-
denly produced upon the minister his
friend cast furtive glance at it when.
to his astonishment he perceived that
1t was simply plain sheet Of paper.
without a scratch upon it!
More puzzled than ever the gentle
man. after few minutes, took his
leave. and proceeded to interrogate
the usher. to whom he was we'll known.
for he himself had been Minister OF
the Interior.
You have" said he 'just handed
to the minister a note, folded up.
which had most extraordinary effect
upon him. Now. It was plain sheet
OF paper. with nothing written upon
it. And what did 1t meanr
Sir" replied the usher "here Is
the explanation. which must beg you
to keep secret for do not wish to
compromise myself My master Is
very liable TO lose his temper.
las he himself Is aware OF his weak
ness, he has ordered me, each time
that his voice is raised sufficiently to
be audible in the anteroom without
delay to place a sheet OF paper In an
envelope, and take 1t to him. That
reminds him that his temper Is getting
the better OF him. and he at once Gains

0rowing From the Eysbro W Of Pious
Prinee OF Iadla.
According TO jap anesc Legend.
tho origin OF ten is thus traced: IA
Indian prince named Darma. OF holy
and religious character. visited China
In the year SIG A. d.. for the purpos !;
OF instructing the celestials In tho
duties of religion. He led q most alb
stomious life and denied himself all
rest or relaxation Of body ana mind.
At last tired nature rebelled against
such treatment and thoroughly ex-
hausted. the prince fell asleep,
When he awoke he was 30 mortified
at his weakness that In order TO purge
himself OF what he considered an al
most objectionable sin. he cut on his
eyebrows considering them the instru-
ments OF his crime They fell upon
tho ground and each individual hair
became transformed into shrub. which
eventually came to be known by the
name OF tea.
Prior TO that time It had been un-
known. but Dnrma quickly discovered
the agreeable property OF its leaves.
which endowed his mind with fresh
powers TO master abstruse religious
principles and prevented sleep from
closing his eyes at imopportune mo-
ments. He recommended It's virtues
to his disciples who in turn sang its
praises to all whom they met In a
very short time its use became general
throughout the celestial kingdom
from which 1t gradually extended to
all parts of the earth.
Darma's memory is perpetuated in
Chinese and Japanese drawings by the
representation of rude figure OF an
old man standing in the water with q
reed under his feet and one OF his eye
brows sprouting out into tea leaf.
In connection with the introduction
OF tea, into England very amusing
story is told OF a certain titled woman
who had been presented with pound
of the finest green tea. She had no
idea OF Its proper preparation and con-
soquontly boilod tho ontiro quantity
and served II up with melted butter rs

She was not pleased with Its appear
