The Teas of the Season.

From the New York Post.
Among the teas of the season is the
church tea, which is taking the place
in towns suburban of the old-time
evening Social No one can deny
that il was we'll for that dismal mis-
name function of church life to die
out. With new name there is q
possibility of q new life. The half
hour spent in talk of bedquilts and
blankets for the poor, Of flowers and
books for the sick, and in gossip of af-
fairs q trifie more personal over q
fragrant cup of tea, in the twilight of
q winter day, may become real
promoter" of sociability.
The affairs are managed by having
three or four tea tables, presided over
by as many women, lad every two
weeks in the church parlors. Only
tea and waters are served, and the
ladies who have charge of the tea for
the day furnish them.
Whatever brand Is used, the best
tea-makers follow the old rule, viz: q
spoopful to the pot and one to the
person. with freshly boiled water
poured over 1t just five minutes before
drinking. A new recipe for tea brew
ing. that originates with connpis.
seur in the art, prescribes the usual
quantity covered by small quantity
of water and a vigorous stirring; ther
a little more water added, and in
about fifty seconds the liquid is drawn
off as unfit for use. The pot is ther

BLACK CATS.

A Concern in Washington That
Raises Ebony Colored Felines.
By its title alone the Consolidated
Black Cat company, of Falrhaven,
Wash, promises to be something
novel, light and pleasant In corpora
rations, and its business does not be-
lie its name. Granting that the COM
mercial uses of the fur of the black
cats are not all deceptive, nothing
could be more comm endably ingeni-
GUS than the company's scheme for
raising the fur by breeding these sa-
tanic animals on an island in Puget
Sound.
The cats will of course stock the is
land by their own efforts, and the
suggestion that they can be taught to
fish in order to support themselves Is
extremely neat and poetic. What
cat is averse to either fish or fishing?
In the manner of making the an
nual catch great possibilities are to be
seen. Why should not the corpora
ton let out the battue to sportsmen,
and clear an honorable and extra
profit by this means? AS for exhibit
ing an isle of cats at so much head,
it is one of the unique and unparal-
lelled features for which the show
business has been waiting for years.
The only possible drawback is the
question of the perpetuatiOn of those
black pelts. To start with. ten or
twelve couple of witch tabbies are
well enough. But how about atavism
and the reversion to the original
type? In ten years these cats would
all be speckled.

was stonewall jackson Sane?


Salt Lake Tribune.
The state having been going
around that "Stonewalp Jackson
would neither travel nor fight on
Sunday, the Oxford Me } Advertiser
comes back with the following:
1--WE think the surviving members
of the 10th Maine Regiment can re-
call to memory Sunday, the 25th day
of May, 1862, almost three decades ago
when old Stonewall travelled and
fought on Sunday, and had our fear
less and stalwart band on the run
from Winchester to Williamsburg.
How that rebel battery got the drop
on us when few miles from win.
chester, aud what terrifying sound
those scorching shells gave as they
came whizzing through the air 80 near
and what shower of knapsacks foil
owed about that time, and with what
sad hearts we parted with photo
graphs, letters and clothing at home
as we flung them away and pressed
on! That forced march was q trying
or deal to the meD, and some OF them
carry the effects to this day.
StOnewall Jackson was not of real
sound mind; that is, his brain WAS
full of kinks. He was sincerely
pious man, and he did not to either
march or fight on Sunday. In this
respect he was like Rosecrans. But
he could march and fight all the same
on Sunday, and his body servant, so
the story runs, was in the habit OF
saving, in the morning, that he knew
they would have great fight that
day. because Massa Jackson had been
praying all night.
We said above that Stonewall Jack.
son was not of sound mind. We
said it for two reasons. Officers IN
the United States army who were
familiar with him before the war
have since reported that he was filled
with cccent. icities and illusions, and
that thew never considered him quite
level.headed. The other reason Is
that he did things in the war which
were simply supernaturally bright.
A delicate woman when insane Is
stronger than q powerful man, some
times it requires the strength oftwo
or three powerful men to restrain a
woman afflicted in that way. In the
same way Stonewall Jackson per-
formed marches the fatigue of which,
together with the strain which
accompanied the handling of an
army under such circumstances,
would have been beyond the physical
strength of any real sane man. All
that does not show that there was
plenty of method in its madness, for
a great man was Stonewall Jackson.
He was the right arm of Lee. and
after he died Lee did not make one
success. He was the Puritan soldier
Of the South; he prayed for men
while he killed them, and, DELEGATE
and sensitive as he was by nature,
he seemed utterly Indifferent to the
cruelties of the battle field, and his
motto seemed to be the same as that
Aulus a Lake Regillus:
"Rome to the charge" cried Aulus,
"The foe begins to yield;
Charge for the hearth OF Vesta,
Charge for the golden shield.
'Let no man stop to blunder,
But slay, and Stay and slay;
The gods who live forever
Are on our side to day."
And then il might be added:
"Behind them Rome's long battle
Came rolling on the foe;
Ensigns dancing wild above,
Blades all in line below"
