MAKING TEA IN JAPAN.
me Hostess Never Intrusts 1t to the
servants on Company Occasions,

A Japanese host or hostess never intrusts
the making of tea to the servants on com
pany occasionA SAYS the Chicago Mail
Either he or SIN prepares the decoction IN
the presence of the guests. This ceremonial
teainaKinS Is an artistic process, and i.
considered an accomplishment" by the ma
tives
The teapot is a little iewel-like thing that
can be set-handle. spout and all-inside
one or the common-sized coffee cups that a
foreigner draws once or twice at a break
inst. The cups are of fine cloisonne. with
plain enameled Innings. each no larger
round than the circle of a tulips petal can
incIose
There is in the service a small pear-shan-
ed pitcher, beautifully wrought bronze
teapot in which the boiling water is
brought, and lacquer box containing the
candy of the choicest leaves from the fine
tea gardens of the Vii district-a tea so
rare and expensive that none of it is ex
ported or known abroad. and only the
wealthiest japanese can afford to buy the
precious leaves.
The host takes an ivory SCOOP carved in
the shape of a large tea leaf fills the little
teapot fun of loosely-heaped leaves and
then, having poured the hot water into the
pitcher that 1t may cool a little, pours it
into the teapot of leaves
The hot water barely touches the leaves
in the little teapot when the host begins
pouring off a stream of pale Straw-colored
tea into the little cups. that are then pass
ed, each only half full of the infusion
The tea is as delicate and fragrant as If
made of rose leaves. and strong enough to
keep one awake for twelve hours after
drinking it.

4 Bnrbcr-Chair Episode.

From Puck.
His wife had told him that he needed it
badly; and, after thinking it over for a
week, he decided to have his hair cut.
He had been sitting in tho barber chair
for the last half hour. All those little at
tentions for which BARRIERS have become
noted had been showered upon him with
lavish hand and tireless tongue. The bar
Der laid down his scissors.

upholstering of the chair, for the little
man fancied the ordeal was nearing its
end. Then. through half-closed lids. he
saw the barber arm himself with a long
haired brush. Memories of the past were
waited back to him, and. shutting his eyes,
he Sroaned aloud and shuddered.
"Pomatum on your hair, sir?'' inquired
the barber in his Oiliest tones, as he jabbed
the long-haired implement of torture down
the little mans back, and wiggled IT around
in a manner particularly eXasperating.
NO, sir; / never use the stuff!' snapped
the victim, with look of disgust.
~ shave, Sir?" suggested the barber in
an off-hand way, as he slammed a greasy
hand Familiarity over the little mans mouth
and proceeded to pat his face affectionate
with a sloppy towel.
mo, sir; thank heavens, 1 shave myself!'
came the reply in voice trembling with
shampoo" continued the barber. with
logged perseverance, as he muffled up the
little mans head in a hot towel.
Moo, God forbid!' came the half
smothered answer.
"Or sea foam, sir?' went on the per-
sistent barber, as he fondled the throb-
bling head between his clammy hands.
NO. no! Nothing!" gurgled faint voice
in reply.
You'll want a bath, sir?' exclaimed the
barber, after a lapse of few moments, in
a brisk, business-like tone, as though he
were commencing all over again.
NO, sir; l won't. I've bath in my own
house." quickly rejoined the little man,
shaking himself defiantly and putting like
a donkey engine.

barber
NO, no! / shine my own shoes, always

wriSgled to get free.
Before you go. sir softly whispered the
barber. in a confidential and persuasive
tone, as he cOmbed the little mans hair
in manner that was almost tender Il
would like TO sell you bottle of my patent

E!eefully; and I'm glad of it, I've been

Yes, sir answered the barber in a
dreamy, mechanical way, as he released the
victim from his clutches. "N-e-e-xt"'

ington while holding office in 1872 His
son, Nathan Fellows Dixon, was born
In westerly in 1912, was a practicing law
yer here, and served for ten years as
member of the National House of Repre-
sentatives. His son, Nathan Fellows Dixon,
the third, who was born in Westerly in
1884, was on the 10th of April, 1889, elected
Senator of the United States to succeed
Jonathan Chace, resigned, and he is now
occupying the seat which his grandfather
occupied fifty years ago.
The Name Never Changed.
In 1887 the New York, Providence and
Boston railroad was opened for business,
and since that date Nathan F. Dixon has
been a member of the board of directors
and one of the legal counsel. So far as the
books of the company show, 1t has been the
same Nathan F. Dixon all these years.
The oldest bank in Westerly is the Wash
ington National Bank. 1t was Incorporated
as state institution in 1900. and converted
into national bank in 1929. In that year
Nathan F. Dixon was elected president
and held the Office until his DEATH in 1S42
when his son, Nathan f. Dixon, was elect
ed president, and remained so until he died.
in 1881. His son, the third Nathan F. Dixon,
was then eligible to the vacancy, but de-
clined election because of the fact that
Charles Perry, who had been cashier for
many years, deserved the promotion. Mr..
Perry was elected president and died in
1880, when he was succeeded in that office
| by the present Nathan F. Dixon.
The Dixon homestead, which was built
| by the second Nathan F. Dixon, is large
| square old-fashioned house painted white,
| the prevailing color for houses in some por-
| tons of Rhode Island and Connecticut,
standing just on the edge of the village, in
| the midst of several acres of meadow, and
| lawn, and orchard trees. One wing of the
| pleasant, hospitable-looking house is used

| for fifty years or more, and the LAWYER
| at the desk is still Nathan r Dixon Tho
| Senator combines practical farming with

TWO MEMORABLE sHIPWRECks.
The Horrors of Being Lost in a Nor
wester on Our Coast.

| Wester on Our Coast.
From Worthington's Magazine
| Woe to the sailing ship that encounters a
December norwester in the North Atlantic
near our coast! Hull and rigging become
| encased with ice; the crew work with diff
Guilty, Tor the prodigious seas coming on
board freeze where they strike, make decks
and rigging slippery and freeze hands, faces
and feet. Woe to the ship that is wrecked
on our coast in such terrible weather.
There is one specially memorable wreck
in which these horrors were awfully exem-
plified. 1t happened to an American pri-
vateer brig in the war of the revolution
She sailed out from Plymouth with a crew
of la men, of whom many belonged to that
part of Massachusetts. The wind was
sou'west. But when she got into the bay il
veered TO northeast, blowing hard she
could not carry enough sail to keep off lee
shore They wore snip and tried TO run
back. But she struck on the bar and could
not be moved. procigious was run
ming; 1t was The month OF December, and
the vessel was loaded down with frozen
spray. Then the wind Shifted TO nor west,
and what the northeaster began the nor
weSter completed.
After the wind went down the people of
Plymouth went off to the rescue They
climbed the slippery sides and stepped on
the slippery deck and entered the cabin and
alive on board. All were dead. One hun
dred and fcrty-four corpses were taken on
shore and laid in the church. But when the
minister arose to preach the funeral SER
mon and saw that array of dead men be-
fore him his voice failed him, and he fell
back in the pulpit in fit.
Similar was the doom that befell the noble
ship New Era in 1854. She was struck by
the deadly Northwestern. Those were the
days when emigrants came to the United
States in sailing ships, and the New Era
had some six hundred souls on board. 1t
was the middle of December, 1854 She was
nearing the Jersey shore-of all our coasts
one of the most dangerous-and vet her
captain, instead of exercising proper vigil
ance with such precious freight in his
charge, was engaged in making love to one
of his passengers and drinking himself
drunk. On dark night in a binding snow
storm the ship struck on Deal beach. To
make matters worse. she settled on a quick
sand, which sucked down the hull. and the
breakers roared over her decks and swept
off hundreds. The survivors fled to the rig
ging. And then the wind shifted into the
northwest sharp as a razor and fierce as
hell. One after another the survivors were
frozen to death: some fell frozen into the
surf; some chung with icy grip to the ropes
and spars, dead. Nearly five hundred corpses
lay the next day in rows in a long barn.
where the bowling alley of the Hathawa
House now stands. They were buried in

thirty inches higher. The bodice has a
yoke of pink silk covered with shirred
black illusion and trimmed with Jet passe-

in front and back, the fullness kept in place
by passementerie bands. The wide belt is
made of two bands of jet passementerie di-

sleeves are also trimmed with jet bands

and yet precisely attired. The piainest of
the lot comes first, and it's sobriety is due
to the fact that IT is offered as a model for
the middleaged older. Its material as
sketched was iron gray serge. though a
great variety of materials would be equally
tasteful. Its plain skirt has two deep pleas

The bodice is trimmed with soft broche
