The Tea Plant.

The tea plant is of genus of shrubs of the natural order Ternstroemiaoee, closely allied to the tribe camellia. The seeds are sown soon after they ripen in holes four or five inches deep and three to four feet apart. As the rains come on 1t grows rapidly, soon forming large clusters, which require wedding. The leaves of the shrubs are not gathered for 'tea" until after the end of the third year from the time when the seed was planted. Each shrub Is good for from seven to ten years, when 1t is cut down and young and healthy shoots allowed to rise. In spring the entire plant is covered with bloom, even the leaf itself taking on the appearance of blossom.
 Gathering the crop Is very par ticular job. each leaf being separately removed from the shoot Three crops are usually taken in a year-M March, May and August-the exact period varying according to the climate of the different districts in which 1t grows. After the leaves have beeal gathered they are Bret dried in the sun and then thrown into small furnaces furnished with sheet iron pans, In which they are stirred until all mois ture has been eliminated Tho best sorts are put up ehoicely. while tlss poorer kinds and sweepings ars made into bricks and sent into Tartary. .-Sk Louis Republic

Opulence and splendor God grant to all the people, to all the cities to all the lands, but at the same time may he grant the righteous use of them.

 When the greatest goddess of the earth, Diana, enshrined in the greatest temple that ever stood, was prostfated at Ephesus, it was . prophecy of the overthrow of all the idolatries that have cursed the earth, and anything we love moro than God is an idol, and there Is as much idolatry in the Nine teenth century as In tho First, and in America as In Asia .
 As our train pulled out from the sta ton at Ephesus, the cars surrounded by the worst looking group of villains ever gazed on, all of them seeming in Q wrangle with each other and trying to get into wrangle with us, and we moved along the columns of ancient aqueducts, each column crowned with storks, having built their nests there, and we rolled on down toward Smyr. na, and that night in . sailors bethel as we spoke of the Christ whom the world must know or perish, we felt that be- tween cradle and grave there could not be anything much more enthralling for body, mind and soul than our visit to Ephesus.

Ifthere had been no extension OF the
session of the Legislature there would
have been no reapportionment bill at
this time. Delegate Laird, Of Wood
county, voted with the Democrats for
extension and is now being charged
with the responsibility Of the offensive
legislation. II the session had not been
extended the Legislature could have
been called in extra session and the re-
districting bill passed.
The responsibility is with the Demo-
cratic party, which devised and passed
the bill. Republicans would better re-
serve their force to fight the Democratic
party than 70 expeud their ammunition

The Democrats Of the next House

not hard to believe, they may be said to

Presuming that once in a while he
may want 10 be heard, they think they
have made satisfactory arrangements to
insure perpetual closure on his ready
mouth. The heroic treatment is to be
added to by sending Mr.. Reed early in

The Republicans have about given up
the idea that they will be able to carry
through an appropriation for an election
on the Prohibition amendment in the
spring. Governor EiiPs message said
as much in declaring that the measure
should be submitted TO the people, but
that the election should be held at the
time Of the other elections. Its known
that the Liquor Dealers Association is
ready 10 pledge q large amount OF money
for the sake Of beating the amendment,
and the Democrats arc anxious 70 have
this money to help along their campaign
fund at the election Of next fall. Hence
no bill appropriating money for the
spring election can pass the assembly.
On the other hand, 1t Is known that NO
bill appTopriatipg money for the fall
election can pas the Senate. SO the
Prohibition amendment 10 Practically
dead, and the whole work Of passing 1t
through two successive Legislatures
must be done over again. II il should
