Nurses Weakness For Tea.

A paying patient in a London hospi-
tai, while bearing testimony to the
kindness, attention and self denial of
the nurses, remarks on the one weak
ness they all appear to possess. And
this is intemperance-not indeed in
alcoholic liquors, but in tea. In sea-
son and out of season, morning, noon
and night, was the cup of tea resorted
to. 1t seemed to be quite as much the
correct thing when two nurses met for
one to invite the other to come and have
a cup of tea as i'll some circles it is for d
city clerk to invite his friend to come
and have a drink This excessive tea
drinking is no doubt due to the long
hours and harassing work of the nurses

Very Fine Handiwork.

the prayer of our Lord within the COM

Plenty Of Pine In Maine.

Although Maine is no longer the Pine
Tree State. not all of our pine timber
has disappeared yet. A Portland box
manufacturer has bought 2,400, 900 feet
of pine logs during the winter, all hauled
to his mill from the surrounding towns
of Cumberland county and putting $780,
900 into the pockets Of the farmers.
From 1000 to 100000 feet Of boxes are
turned out-every month. They vary n
size from box for patent medicine
bottle. made of only six inches of stock,
to huge hat and shoe boxes containing
100 feet of lumber. Many packing, can
ming and medicine firms and fish and hat
and shoe dealers throughout the state
are supplied. The future contents of
the boxes and the owners name are
printed on one side by queer board
printing prlss. 1t is like card press,
but more strongly built, and the sides of
the boxes are printed like so many pla-
cards from iron types.-Lewiston Jour

An Explanation of Our Big Imports

There is one important feature in our
balance of trade just now that is likely
to be overlooked. There has been gen.
eral comment upon the continuance Of
large imports while the exports have
fallen off. Too little account is taken of
the foreign exhibits which have been
entered as imports for the Columbian
exposition but which do not go into con-
sumption at all. The value of these inn
ports has already risen to the millions
and will tend to increase the total i'm
ports through the current month. New

Flimsy Worlds Fair Hotels.

It requires no knowledge of engiiNef-
ing to see that many of the wooden struc-
lures being hurried up near jackson
park for Worlds fair hotels are wholly
insecure. Several have already gone to
pieces. The foundations of many others
are no more solid than those Of the tin
der box blown apart in the comparative
ly light wind of Thursday. Fire has al
ready consumed two, and it is necessary
to warn the thoughtless that if they risk
their lives in like wooden shells fire,
should it once get headway, will run
through any of these SO rapidly that es-
cape with life will be doubtful; with
property impossible.-C Chicago Herald.

Going to the Fair In Clubs.

The formation of train and hotel par
ties to visit the Columbian exposition in
Chicago is going on in various quarters
in this city. Social clubs have canvassed
the matter and made up their pro-
grammes for the trip. Young clerks en-
ployed in the different branches of trade
are getting together in order that they
may visit the fair collectively and at the
least possible expense. Three or four
temporary clubs for this purpose have
been formed by employees of the large
wholesale dry goods houses. A number
of church parties have also been made
up and plans for visiting the exposition
are being discussed in most of the pri-
vate schools hereabout. Nearly all of thr
railroad companies which will run
through trains from New York to Chi
cago have orders for special cars booked

A New Ficld Of Contest.

Mans desire to excel his fellows
prompts him to strange and weird con-
tests for much varying Championships.
There have been trials in devouring eggs,
oysters, quails, pumpkin pie and other
edibles Men have starved themselves
to skeletonic shadows likewise for the
same ends. Some western cities afford
perpetual arenas where skill in skinning
sheep or dispatch in sticking hogs wins
the stakes. BARRIERS, beauties. oyster
openers, jig dancers, banjo players, pie
biters, mind readers and such, all have
tested their little rivalries under "arti-
cles of agreement" until we might think
that we had learned the list of eccentric
ambitions, BUT it remained for citizen
Of Hoboken to originate an idea that
again surprises us as unique. He avoids
the gastronomic, pig sticking, hair cut
ting routes to fame, and issues chal-
lenge for contest in which one can en-
gage without the slightest physical
strain. Hear him:

TIMES HAVE CHANGED.

Out of the past he strayed
In silver armor clad.
Wondering but undismayed
To find the world gone mad
And unto hearts afame
With cruel love of gold
He called in beauty's name
To battle as of old.
LoI the dull world passed by,
Nor listened to his cry.
But one who sat alone.
Weary and sick at heart,
Leaned from her desolate throne
High DER the crowded mart
And sighed: Methinks hear
A voice stilled long ago,
The homage dear, so dear!
nevermore shall know.
But the blind world passed by.
Nor heard the lady's sigh.
