pocrisyH And what shall we say Of all
those noble men who are with us with
their votes and their voices In obtaining
the Alliance demands who are yet loan
ing money on interest. Must they also
be classed among the hypOcrites? Well,
neither is the Alliance hypocrltical in
striving to bring about q condition OF
things which shall dispense with all
trusts.
Neither is accepting the propositions
Of the National Union Company, an act

lutely in the clutches of the money

we are in It's clutches already. "As things

Grading Tea in Japan.

Tea sorting is one of the COM
mon occupations Of young girls in
the tea-farming districts of Japan.
They carefully pick out all the
seeds, weeds, bits of bark and other
rubbish that unavoidably fall into
the baskets during the picking.
The sorting is done after the tea
leaves have been fired; that is, dried
by being placed in tray, with a
stout paper bottom, and shaken
over charcoal fire for time, and
then placed OH the top of an oven
built for the purpose, when the
drying operatives twist the leaves
by hand. The pickers, besides
taking out the rubbish, in many
cases sort out the leaves into differ
ent grades, the better qualities be-
ing taken out and sold at very re-
munerative prices. The japanese
teas are divided into eight grades,
but unfortunately the best Of them
are not sent to the United States.
After the tea has been dried and
is ready for picking, it is carefully
sifted, and then packed in lead-lined
chests and in caddies. The dust
from the siftings is saved, and
large quantities are sent to America
every year. 1t is sold much cheap
er than the perfect tea. The dust
only costs from five to ten cents a
pound wholesale, and by careful
mixture with good tea can be made
to retail at dollar.

Wasteful Economies. "

Using an old cooking stove that
consumes one-half more fuel than

Trying to heat shabbily built
house in winter without stopping
draughts of cold air with storm-doors
and windows or weather straps.
Building a new fire in the kitch-
Ell range every morning during the
winter.
Doing the family washing with
out a wringer and wearing the
clothes out by rubbing on wash
board, instead of using some harm
less cleansing agent.
Scrubbing white kitchen floors,
instead of having them oiled or
stained.
Cleaning floor oil-cloths with a
brush and soap, instead Of washing
them with borax water and after
wards wiping with flannel cloth
moistened with kerosene.
Scraping and securing cooking
utensils that are greasy or burnt,
instead of using pearliue or am
monia.
Using table-cloths without a
Canton flannel ''silence pad" under
them.
Buying single-width sheeting 80
instead of 40 inches wide, and max
ing sheets too short to tuck well
under the mattress.
Using mattresses without pro-
tecting them with covers of UNI
bleached cotton cloth.
Covering comfortables for conf
mon use with cheap prints or old
dress skirts, instead of domestic

Wearing out carpets, as well as

of even those.

never owned it.
She had always been a pious
woman at heart; now she began to
teach her children holy truths; to
guide them in prayer.
One night she knelt, in her bare
room, and taught them, first the
Lords Prayer, then petition for
''poor pa" They prayed to God "to
bring him safely home, and to pro-
tect him."
They were praying thus when a
heavy foot stumbled on the stairs, a
drunken howl reached their ears,
and some one struck heavily OH the
door. Then the girl cried, ats our
father!' and the boy lisped: "Oh,
don't let him come! Pray not to
let him come! Mother we prayed a
story; we don't want him."
1t was an awful revelation Of the
truth. Lottie dared not rise to
open the door. The blows were re-
doubled, and in moment the brok-
ell door flew from it's hinges, and
in staggered thing half human,
clad in filth and rags; all that was
left of Lottie's husband.
He came close to the still kneel-
ing woman, and demanded money.
The boy heard that and some
blows. He waited for no more but
ran screaming to the neighbors for
aid. What happened afterward
only Lottie and the drunkard knew.
The people OH the lower floor
were out; and the boy was gone an
hour before any one would listen to
him. A drunken fight is no UNI
common thing; no one likes to
NEEDLE with it. At last some men
followed the boy. Half way up the
stairs trickling red stream met
them. On the landing was a scar

they kept on. The child rushed
past them. They heard HIM scream.
For a moment they were stricken

Lottie and her girl lay upon the
floor beside the door, and both were
dead. She had been beaten hor-
ribly with an old stool, which lay
broken near; and her life blood
had trickled over the floor and down
the stairs. On the child's temple
was only one great purple bruise.
The murderer was gone.
A few days after they found him
dead upon the road, near a tavern
where he had spent the few shill-

murdered wife. And Lottie's old
