Compressed Tea,

This is novelty that will find favor
with those who cannot travel without
the cup that cheers. This is said to be
put up by Russian firms resident in
China, and is made of the fine dust of
tea leaves, but is none the less expen-
sive for all that as it is compressed by
steam machinery into compact tablets,
which take up much less space than
the same amount of loose tea leaves
would occupy. These tablets are packed
in metal-lined boxes, having first been
inclosed in tin foil, then in fancy paper
wrappers. They have not been Inn
ported here thus far to any great ex-
tent, but veteran travellers who are on
the lookout for the comforts of home
while in foreign lands declare that this
compressed tea is just the thing for the
woman who intends to take in the
worlds fair and who will not drink the
water. The Russian, who makes the
very best tea in the world, has used
these tablets for some time almost
exclusively. nttt.t ts

styles In Wearing the Beard.

Men and women who are fifty years
old remember when the smooth shaven
face was almost invariably the mark OF
gentleman. A few men wore lirht
side whiskers, but the chin was kept
bare, and such thing as mustache
was known only in pictures This was
true in Europe as we'll as in this coun-
try, until the Crimean war, when the
fashion of shaving changed and the
mustache and full beard came in. When
our own war broke out the mustacho
broke out too. Every body wanted to
look fierce and warlike Since that
time the fashion in boards has varied
somewhat The mutton-chops had 4
period and died out, but full boards.
half boards, side whiskers, mustaches,
goatees, etc, have been in style accord
ing to the taste of the wearer. OF late,
however, there is anoticeable tendency
toward clean shave, and it is possible
that we are returning to the types OF
atty years ago Springfield Union.

her fists behind her back, now brought
them forward again and smiled back at
me as she unfolded her small and
rather dirty palms, and displayed the
wealth they contained.
Itwas not much wealth after all I
think it came to about five pence half

that the little girl regarded it as very
serious property.

what you are going to do with all
that money? Come, let me contribute
something" and I laid a sixpence on
top OF the pile of hot halfpence in her
right hand.
The little girls face flushed with
pleasure while she thanked me, which
she did with a certain gravity that is
occasionally to be met with among the
children of the extremely poor. / could
see that she now regarded me worthy
OF confidence. With the gravity of a
small chancellor of the exchequer she
proceeded to unfold to me the scheme
of her little budget. The sudden in

enlarged, her financial calculations.

Interesting Account of It's Origin in An
cient Days.
In the general digging among the
ashes of the past that has been going
on since the organization of the socie-
ties of the Colonial Danes and the Sons
and Daughters of the Revolution, many
curious and some very interesting bits
OF family history have been brought to
light. One of these of especial interest
to Baltimoreans is that concerning the
name OF the great philanthropist,
George Peabody.
According to old family records, the
name of Peabody dates back to the
time of the early Britons and originated
as follows: Boadie, a near kinsman OF
Boadicea and patriarch of one of the
tribes, upon being surrounded in battle
by the Romans, cut his way through an
overwhelming force and, with the rem.
nant of his followers, established him.
self in one of the mountains of Wales;
hence the name Pea, the ancient Cam.
brian name for mountain, and Boadie,
man, signifying man, or great man OF
the mountain.
From his secure retreat Boadie sailed
forth from time to time to wage a sue
cessful warfare with the enemy. In
one of these forays he killed the power
ful Roman officer, Gastula, and bearing
away with him the helmet and armor
OF the fallen foe, these trophies were
preserved for several centuries by the
descendants of the conqueror.
Upon the helmet and armor was said
to be engraved badge of honor, con
sisting of two suns proper in bordure
and also miniature likeness of Pop.
psea, wife of Nero
The heraldic device of the Roman
was afterward adopted in part by the
family of Boadie, hence the Peabody
arms party perfess nebuli, the two
suns proper, with a crest, scroll and
motto. Baltimore American.

forget exactly all the details of the lit

informed by the same unaffected spirit
of benevolence.
When she had come to an end I asked
her question: "But what are you 60
ing TO get for yourself?''
She did not at first quite seem to un-
derstand my meaning, and she re-
enumerated most of her purposes. When
she had finished repeated my ques-
tion. This time she understood me and
she shook her little head till the paper
crown rustled.
II don't want nothing" she said;
''Tve got all l want, Mother I'll give

very high opinion of my own merits,
but do not think that ever seemed

my grumbling, seemed so woefully pet
ty so selfish, when contrasted with the
simple generosity of this little daughter
of the gutter.

very earnest apology.
She stared at me in astonishment. ]

off and make her little purchases, but
that sense of politeness to an unex-
pected friend refrained her impatience.
SO asked her where her mother lived.
She told me. 1t was dismal place

ILLITERAcY AND CRIME.
The SchoolhOuse q Better Preventative
Than the Penitentlary.

Than the Penitentlary.
Does education help morals? is a
question that has frequently been dis
cussed. 1t is somewhat surprising, in
this age, to find persons replying in the
negative to this proposition, and hold
ing that our schools are having very
little effect in reducing the amount of
crime and vice in this country; and they
even point to the criminal records in
support of their view and to the large
number OF crimes committed in Boston
and other cities where the school sys-
TENS are practically perfect, and where
everyone can get good education.
1t we examine the criminal and DO
lice statistics, however, as the United
States commissioner of education, Mr..
w. I. Harris, has just done, we will
find that they make no such showing as
is pretended, but quite the contrary.
There are, of course, some educated as
we'll as illiterate persons arrested, but
the difference in the number of arrests
of these two classes shows how great is
the effect of the schools in the elimina-
ton of crime.
The number of prisoners confined in
seventeen states which have complete
statistics on this point-fourteen of
them western or middle states-is no.
53S, and among these the illiterates, in
proportion to numbers, contribute six
times their quota. The records in the
towns show an even greater proportion
OF crime among the ignorant and the
illiterates, for the whole country fur
nishes to each thousand of persons eigh t
times as many prisoners as those who
can read and write.
1t is plaia.from these facts that our
schools have already greatly reduced
the amount of crime, and that when we
shall have succeeded in getting rid of
all illiteracy we will still further re-
duce the number of criminals. New
