LYNCHBURG. VA, Feb. H.-Speciai.-
I saw General Early this afternoon, but
he positively declined 10 say anything
for publication. He feels the death OF
General Beauregard very deeply and does
not care TO talk about 1t, or relate any

versation with him that he esteemed
General Beauregard very highly as
personal friend, and as a brave and sue
cessful soldier. He recognized him as the
most accomplished military engineer OF his
day as well as skiilfui commander.
General Beauregard was the last sur
viving officer Of the Confederate army OF
his rank. General f. Kirby Smith. who Is
commonly classed with him, was ap-
pointed to the rank of general IL the

WORDS OF ARCHBISHOP IRELAND.

Archbishop Ireland in his great address at
the opening of the Worlds Temperance Con-
gress in Chicago, said among other things
my theory about the different methods OF
temperance work is this There is the enemy
before US, menacing our homes, our souls,
society and religion, and say to the friends
Of temperance, 60 at the enemy. One with
a gun, another with krupp cannon, II you
like, but hit him. I may have my own
special ideGs and my own methods, but l
have made 1t rule in rIy temperance WORK
never to speak an unkind word OF other
methods. AS q matter Of fact We need all
those methods. We need moral suasion, Tor
without moral Suasion laws are OF no ac-
count. Men make laws and observe laws
and enforce laws when they are themselves
convinced. We must speak to the feelings
and to the reason Of man. Then we need re-
ligion. We need that moral strength which
only comes from the skies to build up and
awake the poor trembling victim OF intem-
perance. And We need laws, because they
are the expression Of the moral and intellec-
tual convictions OF our souls. Where there
are no laws against evil there Is the danger
that we do not comprehend the evils and We
need laws not because laws can create virtue
themselves, but to ward off the evil hand OF
the enemy from individual and social virtue.
We need the laws as a protest against in
iluity. We need the laws to defend the bull
warks of society. When we unite and go
forth from this temperance congress with
resolve to live with cordial amity and to
deal, as we'll as can each and every one us,
the heaviest blows against alcohol, immense
results shall have been obtained"

How Sailors Pull Teeth.

Sailors often suffer from the tooth
ache, aud have to bear the pain as best
they can until they reach the shore.
One day c captain seeing sailors
mouth in bad condition asked the
cause. The poor fellow had suffered
80 long with bed tooth that his
patience gave ont. Then he took a
chisel and hammer, and found com.
rade who WAS willing to cut Oft the top
of the tooth for him.
The same voyage the captain was
cnugh5 by an aching tootL, the pain
from which soon became unbearable.
The remedy OF the sailor had proved
80 much worse than the disease that
the captain was unwilling to try the
chisel.
His contsivarc, fa- extracting the
tooth Was ingenious though intricate.
He fastened fine long wire 20 bul-
lot, which h. placed in his pistol with
:he w:re hanging ont. Securing the
wire to tae aching tooth he opened
his mcuth Us wiie aspossib!e and fired.
His ingenuity was rewarded, for the
tooth followed the bullet into the air.
His experience, however, made him
buy q set of dentists instruments.
Bat strange to relate he never had any
use for them, though he followed tho
sea FOR many years. Yankee Blade.

The Bed of the Atlantic.

Proceeding westward from the Irish
coast the ocean bed deepens very grad.
ually; in fact, for the first 23O miles
the gradient is but six feet to the mile.
In the next twenty miles, however, the
fall is over 5000 feet, and so precipi.
tous is the sudden descent that in many
places depths of 1900 to 1000 fathoms
are encountered in very close proxim'
ity to the 1O0-fathom line. With the
depth of 1900 to 1000 fathoms the sea
bed in this part Of the Atlantic becomes
slightly undulating plain, whose gra.
dients are so light that they show but
little alteration of depth for 1900 miles.
The extraordinary fatness of these sub.
marine prairies renders the familiar
simile of the basin rather inappro.
pirate. The hollow of the Atlantic is
not strictly basin whose depth in.
creases regularly toward the center it
is described by the Nautical Magazine
as rather saucer or dish-like one, 80
even is the contour of its bed. The
greatest depth in the Atlantic has been
found some 100 miles to the northward
of the island Of St. Thomas, whero
soundings of 1876 fathoms were OBJ
tained. The seas round Great Britain
con hardly be regarded as formingpart
of the Atlantic hollow. They ore rather
part of the platform banks of tho
European continent which the ocean
has overhowed An elevation of the
sea bed 100 fathoms would suffice to
10y bare the greatest part of the North
Sea, and Join England to Denmark,
Holland, Belgium aud France. A deep
channel of water would run down tho
west coast of Norway, and with this
the majority of the fords would be
connected. A great part of the Bay of
Biscay would disappear but Spain and
Portugal are but little removed from
the Atlantic depression. The 100
fathom line approaches very near tho
west coast and soundings OF 1000 fath-
oms can be made within twenty miles
of Cape st. Vincent, and much greater
depths have been sounded at distances
but little greater than this from the
western shores of the Iberian PENN
SUla.

Preparing Teas For Ocean Voyages.

The process through which Chinese
and japanese, teas are put to prepare
them for an ocean voyage are very in
furious to. them. For such transpor-
tation the leaves must be roasted be-
fore shipment, and thus the aroma ID
largely dissipated. The best teas are
only to be had in their highest excel
lence in tea growing countries, where
they can be procured before passing
through the heroic process which they
have to 60 when they are to be packed
in the holds of sea going vessels. For
home consumption less elaborate meth
ods of curing suffice, and it is sug-
gested that American teas may even
tually be sold in this country in the.
shape of cakes of dried leaves pressed
into solid shape, as is done with many
other herbs. The roasting, which de-
velops the aroma, may be performed
Immediately before use, as is now done
with coffee. Very likely such tea Will
ultimately be ground like coffee.
In preparing black tea the leaves arc
first withered by being exposed to tho
sun for an hour. They are then rolled
and twisted to get rid of part of the
juice. Next they are made up into
small balls, which are placed in shall
low bamooo trays and set in a sunny
place to ferment. During this process
the leaves lose their raw odor and ac-
ouire the desired favor. After fer
mentation the leaves are exposed in 8 ,
thin layer to the sun, which turns
them from green to black. Then they;
are placed in tray over a charcoal
fire to dry. This is called firing"
The final operation consists in passing
the leaves through sieves of different
meshes, after which they are packed.
Such is the method used in Japan.
In India it is simplided, fewer persons
being employed. The Japanese some
times prepare what they call "dss
tea," the leaves not being rolled. They
are from plants which have been kept
in darkness for o week or two before
picking. Keeping them from the light
is said to develop;an exquisite aroma
Teas of India are usually three times
as strong as Chinese and japanese teas
so that they are chiefly used to give"
"body" to the weaker teas by being
mixed with them. The manipulation
of the product in India, after picking,
is wholly done by machinery, whereas
it is all hand work in China. In fact
the Chinese use their feet in. rolling
some of the cheaper grades. For green
teas the leaves are first steamed slight
ly, after which come the rolling and
drying. Washington Star.

We gee not. know not: all our way
Is nigh.-with thee alone is day.
From out the torrents troubled drift,
Above the storm our prayers we lift.
Thy will be donel
The flesh may fail, the heart may faint,
But who are we to make complaint,
Or dare to plead, in times like these,
The weakness Of our love Of ease?
Thy will be done!
We take with solemn thankfulness
Our burden up, nor ask it less,
And count it Joy that even we
Hay suffer, serve, or wait for thee,
Whose will be done!
Though dim as yet in tint and line
We trace thy pictures wise design,
And thank thee that our age supplies
Its dark relief of sacrifice.
Thy will be done!
If for the age to come, this hour
OF trial hath vicarious power,
And blest by thee, our present pain
Be Liberty's eternal gain,
Thy will be done!
Strike, thou the Master. we thy keys,
The anthem Of the destinies!
The minor ofthy loftier strain.
Our hearts shall breathe the old refrain,
Thy will be done!

LONDON TEMPERANCE HOSPITAL.

A recent number of the London Medical
Pioneer devotes much of It's space to.an e1-
tended account Of the London Temperance
Hospital. Its last annual report shows that
during the nineteen and q quarter years the
hospital has been in existence 1906 in-pa-
tients have been admitted that of these, 593,
or sixty-tTo per cent, have died. This is
stated to be lower death-rate than that OF
any general hospital in London. OF these
S506 in-pstients 1869 were registered as abb
stainers and 3842 as non-abstainers. The
hc1pital has also an out-patient department
In which there have been during the whole
period 1852 cases receiving non-alcoholic
treatment. The London Temperance Hos
pital, besides the suffering il has elleviated.
has been one OF the most valuable object-les-
sons ever presented in any country for the
promotion OF the temperance reform.-Na-

had destroyed the beginnings Of life, so that
he had transmitted corrupt type to his

is violated she exacts fearful penalty. The
god OF the wine-cup is an old deceiver. He
promises pleasure, but brings pain. What

what blood and bane. what fghtings and

THE COLD WATER BIRD.

THE COLD WATER BIRD.
I was wakened this morning at early dawl
By the sweetest, softest singing;
From the orchard near and the forest afar
Came the bird notes clearly ringing.
AS leaned far out from the window seat,
And smelled the breath OF the clover,
heard in the cherry tree down by the gate
These words sung over and over:
"Cold water! Cold water! Cold water"
Twas all;
Not another note did he sing
The whole concert through save these words
tell YOU
Then away on swift cleaving wing.
