THE BIG MONTH.
November. sci, Shows the
Greatest Foreign Trade.
Increase of Imports Astonishings
the Month Showing the Largest
Figures In the History OF the
Countrywide Years Trade Set
Forth.

WASHINGTON d. c., December 25.-Major
5. G. Brock. chief of the bureau of statistics,
mas just prepared the usual monthly state
ment of foreign commerce, imports and ex-
ports, for the month of November. The
statement Is a source of establishment as well
Is great qualification in the magnificent re-
suits that appear more particularly in ex-
ports. The imports of merchandise during
the month of November in value amounted
70 $64, SIS, 619, showing an increase of about
$4,000 over the value of the imports OF
November, 1880. 1t will be seen that the
| effects of the new tariff have not been such
as to create any decrease in the value of the
Importss The value of the imports for the
month of November, 1889, was S5S, 994, 784
Tor the month of November, 1888, $50, o76,-
lSS; Tor the month of November, 1887, $59.-
1898. 1t Will be observed that the value OF
imports for November was much above the
average for the previous four years.
Inc value OF the exports so Unprece-
osnteds SO far SURPRISING that of any preYi
GUS month in tue history of the country'i
foreign commerce, that 1t Is really a mattel
OF great astOnishment.
The value OF exports for the month of No

This was the value of merchandise WhlcL
left the shores OF the United STATES every da,
during the month OF Aovem Der. This mer
cnandlse was largely made up of agriculture
products, namely, breadstuhs and provision
and cotton.
In October the exports were unequaled b,
any month previous to it, and the larges

A New ORLEANS teller has beaten
the records as a bank robber. Ac-
cordiag to his confession, his thefts
have been going on for sixteen years,
and amount TO $50, 900. There was a
simplicity about his methods, too,
that is refreshing. In making up
packages OF bills he put tens in place
OF hundreds, and invested the differ
enee in wildcat speculation Such a
story provokes the reflection that a
bank where such Irregularities could
be carried on for sixteen years de-
serves to lose the money.

WHEN the grippe epidemic made
its second appearance last year, the
general conclusion reached among
physicians was that the affiiction had
become chronic. Now a new problem
presents itself as 10 the prevention or
cure Of prolonged and unnatural sleep,
various cases of which have puzzled
the medical fraternity during the
present year. The latest reported is
that Of a Munith (Mich.) school
teacher who has been slumbering for
over 80 days AS in the majority of
cases Of this kind, the sleeper enjoyed
good health previous to her lengthy
nap, but is now only able to take
liquid nourishment, and is rapidly
wasting away. VIII not the breth-
rem Of the medical profession get
their heads together and find a means
of awakening those thus overcome by
this sleep unto death?

THAT compulsory education as now
administered is a failure is not to be
doubted by any one who will take the
trouble to investigate, and that it
will always be in a certain sense a
failure is equally certain, and for OBJ
Vious reasons. The children of pow
erty and crime have had all the nat
urally fine sensibilities of childhood
blunted by hardship and suffering,
and early become materialists. The
world TO them is a place in which
they see only the struggle against
hunger and the elements, and they
are skeptical concerning education,
and see in the truant officer only an
enemy who would rob them of their
liberty to no substantial purpose.

THE ORIGIN OF TEA LEGEND.

According to Japanese legend the
origin of tea is thus traced: An Indian
prince named Darma, of holy and re-
ligious character, visited China in the
year 5I6 A. D, for the purpose ofinstruct-
ing the celestials in the duties of religion.
He led most abstemious life and denied
himself all rest or relaxation of body or
mind.
At last tired nature rebelled against
such treatment, and, thoroughly exhaust
ed, the prince fell asleep. When he
awoke he was so mortified at his weak
ness that, in order to purge himself of
what he considered an almost unpardon-
able sin, he cut off his eyebrows, con-
sidering them the instruments of his
crime.
They fell upon the ground and each in
dividual hair become transformed into a
shrub, which eventually came to be
known by the name of tea. Prior to that
time it had been unknown, but Darma
quickly discovered the agreeable property
of its leaves, which endowed his mind
with fresh powers to master abtruse re-
ligious principles, and prevented sleep
from closing his eyes at opportune mo-
ments. He recommended its virtues to
his disciples, who in turn sang its praises
to all whom they met.
In a very short time its use became gen.
eral throughout the celestial kingdom,
from which it 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 reed under his feet and one
of his eyebrows sprouting out into tea
leaf.
In connection with the introduction of
tea into England very amusing story is
told of certain titled woman who had
been presented with pound of the finest
green tea. She had no idea of its proper
preparation and consequently boiled the
entire quantity and served it up with
melted butter as an accompaniment to a
roast of beef. She was not pleased with
its appearance and gravely informed her
guests that, although it had been cooked
for several hours, it was simply impossi-

newed vigor, only SO that the entire body
be included. A favorite method with
the writer is simply to take an adequate
dose of some ''herb tea or similar prep
aration, going Immediately to bed and
covering with something more than the
usual amount of bedding. A perspira-
tionwill set in, lasting for some hours,
but before morning the system will have
recovered its normal tone, and in most
cases there is no necessity for further
treatment.
But this is on the supposition that
there are no serious or threatening COM
plications. Possibly there may be a
severe headache in connection. In that
caseithe head is probably heated, while
the feet and lower limbs are cold and
clammy. This is simply an indication
that the blood is being forced to the
head, and should, if possible be per-
suaded to resume a more equal move
ment This will be best facilitated by
placing the feet in hot water, rubbing
the neither limbs briskly 1t will aid in
the result if the head be also freely
bathed in warm, but not hot, water. AS
this cools, it cools also the excessive
temperature of the head, and is better
method of reaching the result than the
direct application of cold water. The
lower limbs should then be wrapped in
dry, warm blanket, and the patient
should retire as before. The internal
treatment is not to be overlooked, and
anyof the favorite herbs may be en-
ploYed. Good HOuSekeepina.

TAKING GOLD.

One of the most important points in
the care of the system is the keeping of
the feet warm and dry. This lesson has
been taught over and over again, but it
is to be feared that good many per-
sons read solemn warnings, born of trag-
ic experiences, and give them no second
thought. Our climate, with its sharp,
sudden changes, calls for the exercise of
prudence in the matter of dress, to de-
gree that may be unknown in other re-
gions, where more equable and favor
able condition exists. Warm, comfOr-
table underclothing is indispensable, and
should he worn even during brief warm
spell as guard against danger from eli
matte changes. A person having be-
come heated, either by active exertion or
by an excessive temperature, should not
suddenly plunge into chilling tempera-
ture, or sit either in damp place or in
cool breeze. The checking of the
persperation too suddenly lays the foun-
dation of severe cold in every instance.
Gentle exercise should be continued I'M
til the system has regained something of
a normal condition. And SO the list of
cautions might be extended; but the re-
mainder might be as hackneyed as those
already given. Carelessness or indiffer-
ence gives the result, with adult people,
nine times out of ten, though it is little
cure for the ill to say, when the mischief
is wrought, 81 might have known bet
ter"
Still it often occurs that with the ut
most care cold will be contracted, and
the sufferer be wholly unable to even
suggest the time, place or circumstances
which gave the unfortunate exposure.
A catarrhal congestion, dull headache.
or some of the other familiar signs will
be experienced, and the victim simply
realizes that the time for precaution has
passed. The list is very long 1t en-
braces colds proper, coughs, hoarseness,
sore throat, influenza, catarrh, neural
gia, rheumatism, with bronchitis and
consumption as direct results. 1t is not,
therefore, in good taste to say ''only
cold" as giving the impression that the
difficulty will be gone in day or two;
but the fact should always be recognized
that even an apparently slight cold may
be the beginning of serious and posi-
bly, fatal illness.
Do not lose any time in attending to a
cold. 1t is not always possible for per-
son to give adequate treatment to cold
during the daytime. Duties which can
not be postponed may interfere. But,
generally speaking, when the evening
comes remedial measures are in order.
There are so many ways of treating
cold that one is almost perplexed to
know which to recommend; and per-
haps it is as well that something should
be left to Individual judgment, to be de-
termined by circumstances. One gen.
eral principle may, consequently, be laid
down-cold being the manifestation by
congestion of the abnormal checking of
the perspiration, or in other words the
result of a chill of some portion of the
system, the first remedial measure
should be the re-estabhshing of the de-
ranged action. Itmatters comparatively
little, therefore, by what ordinary means
the perspiration is started along with re-
