How Tea Is Tested,

In New York there are not more than
four or FIVE, if there are any, men who
earn living exclusively by testing tea.
The great buyers Of tea do their own
testing, and they do it generally with
out tasting the leaves or the decoction.
The tea is 'smade" for them with boiling
water, as if it We're to be drunk, but
they usually test it by smelling. It is a
delusion to suppose that tea testers are
obliged to abstain from tobacco and
liquor in order to do their work proper
~. AS a matter Of fact they live as
other men do, and some of them are in
veterate smokers. And the amount of
poison they take in (for very active poi
sons, such as indigo and plumbago, are
used in doctoring tea) is not enough to
ruin the health if the man is sound and
strong constitutionally. There are sew
eral Of them in New York between sixty
and seventy-fve years Of age who are
still active and healthy after forty or
fifty years of the work.

You cannot change the human race,
say the apologists for the political spoils
system ana for all the other wrong ard
meanness that gather about mankind.
But the human race does change, and
change constantly. It is exactly what
does change, else man would now be a
naked, clawing, numbering savage, &C.
vouring raw meat and tearing it with
his teeth and nails, aud killing every
other of his brother savages who sought
to take it away from him, if he was the
stronger, or being killed if he was the
weaker. That the majority of civilized
mankind are fairly honest, decent and
humane to one another, instead of each
one regarding every other as his natural
enemy, is owing to the fact that human
nature has changed steadily for the bet
ter in the course of some millions of years.
But there is still room for Improvement,
and good deal of it. Reformers who
seek to improve the human race by
working on its finer, better feelings,
need not despair, however. 1t is the only

Americans in British Politics.

The American edition of The Review
of Reviews pays its respects to several
Americans who have figured in poliucs
in Great Britain both during the recent
campaign and before. The Review does
not find that they covered themselves
with glory, and is Of opinion that
they might be in better business than
meddling with English politics, espe-
cially in the particular way in which
they have chosen to exploit themselves.
Of certain Of our former citizens now
in England the editor of The Review OBJ
serves:
The curious fasco Of Mr.. Henry NJ. Stanley's
attempt to get into parliament as Chambe--
lainlte from q London constituency was one Of
the sensations OF the campaign. Mr.. Stanlvy
VIII have small sympathy On this side of le
water. With Henry N. Stanley posing es n
enem! Of Irish home rule, with William Henry
Hurloert's notorious Misrepresentation Of the
irish question in the interest of Tory LANDLORDS,
with George Washington Smalley sneerine Pc
rennialy at air. Gladstone in the New York
Tribune and with Harold Frederic playing the
part OF facile journalistic tool for the desperate
scheme to recahllitate Sir Charles Dixie we
have very sorry quartet of American med
olers In English politics, and it is scant credit
they do to the opinions and convictions Of the
republic that they so egregiously misrepresent.
Their performances are source of mortifica-
ton to the mass Of right thinking Americans.

How to Tell the Date of Easter Sunday

How to Tell the Date of Easter Sunday
First, find the Golden Number; Sec
ond, the Epact of the proposed year;
third, find from a calendar the first day
after the 7th of March, which CORE
spends to the Epact of the year. This
will be the first day of the Paschal Moon.
Reckoning thirteen days after that of
the first Of the moon, the following will
be the fourteenth of the moon, or the
day of the full Paschal Moon. Find the
Dominica Letter of the year and OBJ
serve in the calendar the first day after
the fourteenth of the moon, which cor
responds to the Dominica Letter. This
will be Easter Sunday. Example: Re-
quired the day on which Easter Sunday
fell IN 1910. For that year the Golden
Number is 1910 plus l divided by 49,,
which equals II, and the Epact is &c.
After March the Epact 26 occurs in
the calendar at the 4th of April, which
is therefore the day of the new moon.
The full moon would be thirteen days
later, or April II. The Dominica Let
ters of 1S4O are E. D., of which D. must
be taken, as E. belongs only to January
and February. After April D. first
occurs in the calendar at the 18th.
Therefore Easter Sunday in 1910 came

AN UNFORTUNATE PATRIOT.
How United States Treasurer Died

How United States Treasurer Died In
y Debtors Prison.
During the Revolutionary war the
question OF money was often Of vital
Importance, and there were many times
when the patriot government had not
even money enough to purchase rations
for the soldiers in the field, and when its
credit was not good enough to enable it
to borrow. tits well remembered that
George Washington betrayed his own
official expenses out Of his private purse
for long lime, and was only repaid af-
ter some years.
The services of Robert Morris, the
treasurer of the United States, are not
so often recalled. He was very wealthy
and enjoyed splendid personal credit,
which he did not hesitate to use time
and again when money was indispensa-
bly, necessary to the government. For
instance, he once became personally re-
sponsible for the -four which the army
had to have for rations. AT another
time he borrowed on his individual
credit money to pay off the army. He
also gave his personal notes for large
amounts needed by the government, and
IN no instance did he fail to pay on time
or to redeem his notes. Yet he lost all
his fortune in his old age through land
speculahons and died in debtors prison
on May Z, 1905.
