How they do prepare this fragrant

tea. Gen. Kchong-Ki-Tong informs US
upon this point in his work upon
Chinese pleasures
Tea saws he. is the only beverage
taken by the people 1t has many
lovers in the higher classes of society,
among whom it is accounted to con-
tribute to the clearness Of the intel
lect.
The tea imbibed by the rich is in
variably green tea; that is to say from
the tiny leaves which had scarcely
emerged from the bud before they
were gathered and dried in the sun
Black tea is made of leaves which
have arrived at state of maturity and
then been dried at the fire.
Properly prepared tea must be mixed
with rain or spring water, which must
be heated to certain point The
boiling should last but few minutes;
as soon as bubbles appear upon the
surface the water has boiled sufficient

At TIE WRONG HOUSE.
But the serensders Had Remarkably
Pleasant Time.

81. Augustine, Fla, twenty years
ago was not the 81. Augustine of to-
day, says the Philadelphia CALL There
were but two hotels, both Of modest
proportions. At the outskirts of the
city was rambling suburb. bearing
the euphonious title OF "Hush-your-
mouth town, where dwelt majority
Of the colored inhabitants Of the place.
In the principal street Of this suburb
lived the belle Of the town. "yaller
girl, by name Kate Pennoya
Among her admirers were included
rot alone the most eligible Of the col
ored men Of "Hush-your-mOuth town,
but the fine flower Of the visiting Afri-
cans serving as walters at the hotels.
The attentions to Miss Pennoya of
these swells from the north was re-
garded with great disfavor, not alone
by the jealous SWANS of her quarter,
but by all its inhabitants, who cOnsid-
cred any preference shown to foreign
gentleman Of color as a slight to the
native beaux, and indirectly to them
selves.
one night it was unanimously voted
by the mem bers Of the Haut Ton Glee
club, composed of Il number of the
walters belonging to the principal
hotel, to tender a sereuade to Miss
Pennoya. The night was rs dark as
Erebus and lamps at that period we're
as scarce at st. Augustine as are sup
posed to be the dental appurtenances
of hens.
Nevertheless the house was reached
and the serenade began 1t continued
for some time without eliciting a re-
spouse from the fair one to whom It
was rendered fact giving rise to
cOnsdeabl comment, since the con-
duct Of the lady had never been char
acterized by any marked diflidence;
but nevertheless the serenade went
on.
At the end of somewhat over an
hour ii was agreed TO close the enter
tainment with q vocal tribute in
well-kuown air, where the name of
the recipient Of the sereuade should
be substituted for the Sweet Eyalina'
of the song
Dear Kat Penuoya. swcrt Kate PennOya,
My love for thee will never, never die.
AS the last echoes died away a win
dow was opened above them and from
it was protruded the head of Il yener-
able coiored man, who. to the conster-
nation of the selenaders, took up the
refrain:
III, boys, below d.; no, Toys, below dur.
Miss hate Pennoya lives free doors below
hyur.

Democratic Silver Hypocrisy.
Chicago Journal

In Chicago last June the National
Democratic Convention in a burst
Of emotional virtue unanimously
declared:
We denounCe the Republican legislation
known as the Sherman act OF 1890 as a coward
~ makeshift frauRht with possibilities Of
danger in the futur which should make all of
its supporters. as well as its author anxious
for It's speedy repeal We hold TO the use of
both gold and silver as the standard money of
the country, and to the coinage Of both gold
and silver without discriminating against
either meta or charge for mintage, but the
dollar unit of coinage Of both metals must be
Of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value or
be adjusted through international agreement,
or by such safeguards Of legislation as snail
insure the maintenance of the party of the
two metals and the equal power of every
dollar at all times in the markets and in the
payment Of debts
Upon this bold and unmistakable
utterance 1t entered the Presidential
campaign unembarrassed by its
silver record and free to enlarge
upon the alleged iniquities Of the
Mckinley bill Without this plank
in It's platform the Democratic
party would not have stood a ghost
of show Of carrying a single
Eastern State. 1t was the bait
which was swallowed by German
Republicans in Illinois and Wiscou,
sin and enabled the Democrats,
with the aid Of the School law
canvass, To carry these Republican
States for Cleveland.
Having caught their gudgeous,
how have the Democrats fulfilled
their promise to repeal the Sherman
bill, which its author was willing
to do?
When the question of repeal
came up in the Senate, TWENTY
Democrats voted nay to only t,0et0e
yea.
In the House lO7 Democrats
voted against the repeal of the
"cowardly makeshift" demanded by
the party in June and only lO4
voted in its favor
In either House, if ten Demo
Gratis had been true to their party
pledge, the repeal would have been
carried The Democratic party won
he Presidency by playing & silver
confidence game on the American
people.

Reform Without Economy.


The Democratic administration of
Wisconsin ought not to claim credit
for the amount of money the state
will receive from the ex treasurers
until the claims of the attorneys in
the case are paid, then take credit
for what is left. Bsshford comes
forward with claim of $25, 900 for
what he did, then there is Villas
who claims 10 be at least four times
as great man "a Bashford, which
would make his claim 100000,
then O'Conner, the attorney general,
must have pay for his extraordinary
expenses, then come in the clerks,
steuographers, typewriters, aud a
multitude of other etceteras lying
back in the shade Of the capitol
waiting for the etfulgent rays of the
sun Of Democracy TO blaze out and
light their way to fortune and un-
dying fame. 50 az result Of the
famous treasury suits is nothing
more at last than transferring the
interest in state money from the
pockets Of Republican treasurers, 20
the pockets of Democratic lawyers,
claim malntaluers, corridor bracers

Of bassoon performers whose in
trlcate duties are to follow the
image Of Democratic reform and

No Use for a Gun.

A certain doctor in northern Maine
is noted for his love of hunting, and
he is reckoned a pretty good shot.
During an epidemic not long ago a
well known lumbermau NOW de-
ceased) had the misfortune to have
several Of his men quite sick, and one
OF them being in a dangerous condi-
ton the lumberman started in haste
for this doctor. Now our medical
friend is sometimes quite moderate in
getting ready for his trips, and on this
occasion, after being called. he was
unusually slow in making his prepare
lions. Suddenly the thought came to
him that as be was to 90 50 far into the
woods he might see some game and
stepping to the door, where the nervous
lumberman was impatiently waiting,
he inquired: "Say don't you t,.,nk I'd
better take my gun along?' "GunP
MOI" was the excited reply. The man
will be dead enough before you can
get there. "-LeJDtStOH J0uyNdi.

How the United states Has Grown.

An idea of the rapid growth of the
United States since the beginning Of
the civil war may be formed by some
comparisons of the total vote in diff
ferent years. When Abraham Lincoln
was elected president OF the United
States, in 1860, he received 1,S65. 9lS
votes in the thirty-two states which
then constituted the union In the
presidential election of 1883 the total
vote of New York state was l.32l l0g.
New York, ,ulad vote in 1892 was not
very far from the entire vote east for
Mr. Lincoln in The whole United States
thirty-two years ago.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent,
WAsHINGTON, d. G.. February -, l8i

present Congress, Ihere rs good
reason for the assertion that the
proposed radical amendments to the
pension laws, which were when
first offered voted down by the
House committee on Appropriations,
and has been adopted by that com
mittee. are the result Of direct
orders from him Mr.. Holman
joined the Republican members Of
the committee in protesting and
voting against these amendments,
which are to be offered to the pension
appropriation bill when it comes up
in the House, but they were out
voted. These amendments are:
First, for the transfer Of the pension
bureau to the war department and
the detail of army officers to serve
as commissioner and deputy com
missioners; second, TO suspend all
pensions paid to pensioners not dis
abIed by wounds who have an
annual income IN excess of 5000 a
year; third, to suspend all pensions
paid to widows of soldiers who
were not married to them within
five years after the close of the war;
fourth, to suspend all pensions, ex-
cept those for total disabilities, now
paid To alien non-resideDts. What
ever may be done by the next
Congress it may be set down AZ
certain that these amendments will
never Toe adopted by this Congress,
1t is believed that the purpose in
Offering them Is to feel the pulse of
the public on the pension question.
Even the "gall" of Tammany
Congressman has to give way to-
universal public sentiment. This
was shown when the quarantine bill,
rs originally passed by the Senate,
came up in the House. The bill
was passed, Notwithstanding the
attempt of Kilgore aud Antony, of
Texas, to flhbuster against it's be
ing voted upon, and has now gone
to the President, whose approval it,
will promptly receive.
A majority of the House Judiciary
committee has at last agreed to the
report of the Homestead inyesti
cation which was prepared by Rep
reseutatiye Oates, chairman of the
subcommittee which made the in
yestigation. This report will not
make enjoyable reading for Demo
cratic editors who made the Home,
stead troubles the basis for partisan
editorials, during the late campaign,
for it says that the tariff had moth
ing to do with the troubles, and that
/ the strikers were the aggressors. 1t
also condemns the use of the
/ Pnkertons and says that such
agencies should never be employed
without consent of the State. There
are two minority reports, one con.
demuiug the use Of the Piukertous
and the other an argument IN favor
of compulsory state arbitration
laws.
The ease with which two or three
men ne up the House whenever
they are 50 disposed has created a
sentiment which VIII permit the
majority of the itouse to do business
when It wishes 70 and TO squelcb

mon .biug TO hear Democrats in the

Bureau Of Inform alton.

The burlington" has recently
established, in a convenient quarter
of its elegant and commodious pas
senger station, at Chicago, an Office
designed to afford travellers all in
formation on the thousand and-one
things they need to know with re-
gard to routes, rates, connections
and accommodations. 1t has been
placed in charge of an experienced
man, supplied with all railway
guides, maps and time tables, and is
known as the Bureau of lnforma-
ton" 1t is a place to which all
travellers may apply for information
and receive full and correct answer.
This is the only Office of the kind
west OF the sea board cities, and it
cannot but prove help and conve-
nience to the travelling public. All
trains of the Burlington enter and
depart from this station, and the in
telligent and valuable service of the
bureau may be enjoyed by all pa
irons of this line.
A special pamphlet will be issued
by the Burlington in the near future,
giving accurate information as to
"How to Get to the Worlds Fair
Grounds. How to Secure Rooms
and Board at the Various Hotels,
Boarding and Lodging Houses"
Trustworthy agents will be at the
c., B. & @. depot, in Chicago, to
impart all information to visitors.
Arrangements will probably be made
by which some trains will be run d.
rect to the worlds fair grounds
without change or delay.
