when the virtues of tea as beverage were dis.

of centuries passed" The famous herb is
spoken of in Chinese annals as far back as
$500 years B. c., at which time its cultiva-
ton and classification was US much Of an art
rs it is to-day. Tradition says that its virtues
were discovered by accident. King Shen
Nung She, "The Divine Husbandman," who
tiourished forty centuries ago, was boiling
water over a fire one evening when some tea
leaves hanging over the vessel were loosened

taken from the High Private, which
is published at Fort Assinniboie, Mon
tana:
"The troops of the Tenth cavalry
continue to excite admiration and COM
ment at this post. The officers bear
names famous in military annals. Of
these, Capt. Charles G. Ayres repre-
sents the new life of the army, being
among the youngest cavalry captains.
In spirit and physique he seems to be
about the beau ideal of troop COM
mander. Nothing is omitted by him
which can contribute in the least to the
perfect discipline and elegant appear
ance of his command. The men in
Troep F believe thoroughly in him,
while he in turn has the utmost conf
dence in their temper and spirit to act
in concord under any and all circum-
stances. 1t was Captain Ayres who, at
the risk Of his own life, disarmed
desperate at Fort Davis, Texas, and
saved the life of brother officer. Capt.
A. is the son of the late Major General
Ayres, who left most brilliant record,
being brevetted q dozen times tor con-
spicuous gallantry during the last two
great wars.
"There was, moreover, something OF
real romance in his marriage to Miss
Elizabeth Fairfax, of Virginia for it
was Gen. Ayres' artillery that held Lit
tie Round Top in the battle of Gettys-
burg against Gen. Longstreet and it
was the father of Mrs. Ayres, Col. J. W.
Fairfax, known as Longstreet's fighting
aide and chief of staff, who led that
charge, his horse, white stallion, be-
ing killed under him. Thus did this
union combine the blue and the gray,
and with others have helped to seal the
bonds between the North and the
South. God grant US many more such
unions"
Mrs. Ayres is well known in this

SLEEPS WITH HER EYES OPEN.-
Richard Risley, of Port Jefferson, L. l.,
is hard working bayman. He has a
rather pretty daughter, who for the
past year has been puzzling the doctors
in consequence of peculiar afliction
which has attacked her eyes.
Miss Risley is about seventeen years
old. A year ago, while walking on the
beach near her home with her mother,
she suddenly exclaimed that some
thing had entered her eye. She press
ed her hands over her eyes and mo-
ment later fell in fit. The young
woman was carried home in partially
unconscious condition. When finally
she was restored to consciousness it
was discovered that her eyes had o
strained look rs though some inward
pressure was forcing them out of the
sockets.
She complained Of no pain, but her
eyes continued to protrude more and
more until it would seem they
must fall out. The eyes are now
so much protruded that the lids cannot
close down over them, so the sufferer
sleeps at night with her eyes wide open.
Her sense of sight is gone while she
sleeps, this having been demonstrated
by experiments.
The peculiar trouble which has at
tackled her eyes also appears to be sap
ping the young woman's health. She
has become pale and emaciated, and
has the appearance of person suffer
ing from consumption. Her condition
has thus far defed the skill of the local
doctors, who are unable TO explain the
cause
