a Chinese Legend About Tea.

There is strange Chinese legend con-
corning the tea plant. According to the
story, there once lived very pious
hermit who passed the greater part of
his time in prayer and vigils. He was,
however, unable to keep awake as long
as he wished, and often found his eyes
closing while he was in the very midst
OF his devotions. This naturally an
noyed him, and one day in fit of wrath
against this weakness of the flesh, which
he seemed unable to overcome, he cut
off the offending eyelids and cast them
upon the ground. But his action had
been observed by god, who immedi-
ately caused tea shrub to spring up
from the spot where the eyelids had
fallen. 1t is in reference to this, ac-
cording to the legend, that the leaves of
the tea plant are shaped like eyelids,
fringed with lashes, and possess the
power of warding off sleep.

A Famous Electrician.

Charles F. Brush, the famous electri-
clan, became interested in the mysteries
of that force when he was but IS years
Of age. 1t is related that while ho was
attending the Cleveland high school he
distinguished himself by making cleo
trio machines and batteries for that in
stitution. During his senior year the
chemical and physical abilities of the
laboratory were placed under his
charge. When he was but 16 years of
age, he constructed an electric motor
having magnets and armature. He also
constructed a microscope and telc-
scope, making all the parts with his
own hands, even to the grinding of the
lenses.

New YORK, Dec. 22.-A better feeling

OF additional failures of small downtown

latter In General Electric. After this
rise speculation relapsed into dullness,
and the changes either way for q time
were confined to the fractions. After

and, at the same time, there was an
increased disposition TO sell
The rumors of receivership for
Atchison and the heavy decrease in the

lower prices. In the last hour the bears
paid special attention 20 Western Union,
