Fine Art OF Ten Maxim.

Tea making in Japan is fine art.
The teapot is small and dainty, like those
sold for bric-a-brac at Japanese shops,
and the tcacups, often of fine cloissonncs
with plain cnamelled Innings, are each
no larger than n giants thim5le. With
them is pear-shaped pitcher for boiling
water, and lacquer containing choice
tea. Among the rich these appurtcn-
ances accompany n brand of tea so rare
that none of it is ever exported. The
japanese host scoops out enough OF the
precious herb with an ivory implement
shaped like large ten leaf to loosely
fill the little teapot. He then pours
over it hot, not boiling, water, and in
less than moment the tea maker begins
to pour off u steam of pale yellow tea
into cups which are never filled more
than half way up, and they arc at once
served to visitors and tho family. 1t is
needless to say that the tea, losing no
part of its delicious aroma, is as fragrant
aud delicate as any concoction can pos
sibly be.-Boston transcript.

various reasons and explanations are
given for the prevailing bad condition
OF society, but none of them are very
satisfactory. In our opinion the true
cause is to be found in the fact that
there are very few trees in that sec
ton of the proper size on which to
suspend outlaws, hence many of them
escape who would not If there were
more large trees with suggcstiycly
ovcrhanging limbs. The live oak.
with its tough, widc-spreadino

much greater moral effect i'm a

III the busy haunts of men can posi-.
bly, imagine. 1t is II rather rough
mode of disposing of criminals, but
desperate diseases demand similar
remedies. 1t has been noticed that
in frontier countries where the live
oak tree flonrishcs, lawlcssncss Is
banished almost as malaria is by the

to give the fruit plenty of room to

On the other hand, In families
where slippers are unknown, and
where button and lace shoes arc worn

trouble to remove the shoe, discipline
is lax, and the boys grow up TO illl

VIII There Be a Glut of Diamonds

By degrees the DE Beers Company has
bought up the four principal mines in
the district, which are included in the
limited space of four square miles aud
comprise the Kimberly, area thirty. one
acres; Du Toits, thirty-Gvc acres; Built
fontcin, twenty-seven acres, while the
De Beers proper, the most valuable of
all, spreads over eighteen and one half
acres. In addition it has large pro-
prictorship in Brazilian mines. The
directors therefore strenuously insist,
with every appearance of sound reason
ing, that the purchase of their shares
should not be regarded as speculation
like gold mind property, but as safe and
permanent investment. They claim
that. being the chief diamond producers
in the world, they can so regulate the
issue of stones to the market that they
can maintain n steadily uniform price,
and that their unworked "bluc," even
at the present level, will suffice for many
years harvest on the existing scale. But
rs yet the bottom has not been plumbcd,
and the deeper the shaft the richer the
produce.
may mention the theory, which
however crude, is not entirely without
verisimilitude, that the diamondiferious
material has been thrust up by igneous
agency from immense profundity through
q superintendent mass; that the same
agent had long ago rrystallizcd the dia-
monds; and that If we could dig down
to that crust we should find the precious
stones sticking to the roof like pieces of
suet in a pudding. Nor is it argued
can there be the smallest doubt?-aftcr
such long and extensive experience, rs
to the uniform average richness of the
earth. For instance, the accepted csti-
mate that one De Beers truckload will
produce one and one-half carats is useful
and true in theory only, but that thou
sand loads will bring to light 1900 carats
is perfectly accurate in practice. =

An Erect of Smokeless Powder.

Judging by the observations of al
English officer who attended the late
French military maneuvcrs, the use OF
smolleless powder is likely to have pc
culiar effect on the morale Of soldiers in
battle. He says that again and again he
found himself in a position where no
could hear volley after volley, field guns,
too, sometimes being fired, so far as
sound could indicate, within 800 yards,
and yet after gazing intcntly for minutes
he tried in vain to discover the where
abouts of the irers. One moment the
sound would seem to be quite close, but
puff of wind would cause it to appear
to come from miles off. If the men who
fire are at all hidden, and are stationary,
it would seem almost impossible to dis
cover them at, say, 800 yards Courier

LEFTOVER nIEArs

a book might well be compiled on the
numberless dainty dishes which may be
made of leftover bits of meat, game or
poultry; and yet, brought down to mat
ter of fact, they might all be catalogued
under the prosaic name of hashcs.
Nearly all of the daintiest rechauife
dishes OF the French are served minced
and seasoned. There are very few peo-
pie who really understand how to make
a good appetizing hash and serve it
folded on napkin, a dainty brown crust
on the outside, but dclicately seasoned
and soft as soon as the crust is broken.
Scarcely any dish comes on our break
fast tables better than this, when it is
well made and well served. About two
thirds cold potatoes (not mashed) and
one-third cold beef, or corn beef, are re-
quired to make good beef or corn beef
hash. A little fat may be put in with
the corn beef, but beef hash is
better made of all lean meat. Aiuce the
meat thoroughly, then add the potatoes,
and season moro thoroughly than for al
most any other dish. If it is beef hash
add large spoonful of butter to three
cups of the chopped mixture. Add also
enough boiling water to make it moist,
but not "salvey." Put a large frying
pan over the fire. When it is hot add a
large tablespoonful of butter, and when
this is melted pour in the hash. Smooth
it down evenly, and set it little back,
where it will slowly brown. The brown
ing takes about half IN hour. Loosen il
at the sides of the pan in about twenty
minutes to see if it is browning; it not,
pull it a little forward. When done fold
one side of the hash over the other with
an omelet-turner, and turn it on hot
platter. Remember that it should be
covered bya crisp brown crust, but bt
soft within. -NcW York Tribune.
