THE R TEA.
King Shen Discovered Hts PrOpertie
and Was Hailed Divine.

King Shen Discovered Its Properties
and Was Hailed Divine.
By whom or when the use Of tea for drink
ing purposes was first discovered is lost in
antiquity. It is spoken Of as a famous herb
in Chinese literature as far back as 1000
years BIC, at which time its cultivation and
classification was almost as thorough and
complete as it is today.
One Of the ancient legends say that its
virtues were accidentally learned by King
Shen Nung She, the Chinese monarch, who
is also known as ssThe Divine H~usbandman,"
who the record says lourished forty CEN
turtles ago. He was engaged in boiling
water over a fire made of the branches of
the tea plant, and carelessly allowed some of
the leaves to fall into the pot. The liquid
which he expected to come from the vessel
simply as sterilized water was m~iraculously
converted into an elixir of life by the acct
dental addition of the tea leaves. Soon after
it highly esteemed In all the Orien-
tai cities, and was used as a royal gift from
the Chinese monarchs to the potentates of
Southern and Western Asia.
This same King Shen Nung She not only
earned the title Of respect by which he was
known through the discovery of the virtues
of tea, but because Of being the first to teach
his people how to make and use plows and
many other implements of husbandry.

SEEN ON THE DOLL9TABLE.

A doll table is one of the uffailing attrac-
lions of summer sales and lawn parties for
charitable purposes Among the daintier
and more expensive beauties it is well to
scatter not a few oddities that will come
within the means of the smallest purse, as
children are sure to be largely the purchas-
ers. There should be, for instance, pipe
dolls and tow dolls and dolls made of clothes
pins. To make h esfirst, paint a face on the
bowl Of the pipe, and dress it ia tissue paper,
tying q narrow ribbon aroundthe waist and
making a paper sunbonnet. The arms must
be Of sitter paper and with painted hands.
For the tow, tie a narrow ribbon around the
middle of a small bunch to make the waist.
Twist ends for arms, travelling out for hands.
Braid more tow for a long braid OF
hair. Put a crocheted cap on the bead and
mark features with black silk and with
beads for eyes. With the cIothes-pins paint
a face on the head. Glue cotton on this
to represent hair. and put a tissue paper bon
net on the head. Dress it in tissue paper,
and make stiff paper arms and hands.-Ec-

Masters today applied to Judge Lippincott
for an order to strike a jury to condemn

cision might be given at any time. He re-
fused to strike o jury or to nane q day for

WATER EVERYWHERE
Cellars Flooded and Sewers
Choked By Yes erday's
Heavy Rain.

The heavy rainfall yesterday created havoc
in this city. The storm was particularly
violent in the lower part of the city. Many
of the cellars on Montgomery street were
flooded and a number of merchants had the r
goods damaged. The furnace and engine
rooms of the Weldon building were flooded,
and Stationer Hansen, who has goods in the
cellar, under his store, reports that his goods
were damaged to the extent of 800 by the
food. When the rain began to fall, Engineer
Brands had to desert his post.
The high tide in the river caused
the sewer to back up and the water
began to pour into the basement. BY one
O'Clock the water had crept up to the fires in
the boilers and they were extinguished. The
elevator stopped, there being no steam to
raise it. The lawyers who are located in the
offices of the building had to climb the
stairs during the remainder of the day.
The water kept coming into the cellar
until the engine room was flooded. Engineer
| Brands visited Fire Headquarters and en-
deavored to secure an engine to pump out
the sewage, but Commissioner Brennan
| could not accommodate him as the depart
ment has a number of engines in the
| repair shop and can not spare any
until the regular number are IN
| service. Brands then secured a
steam pump ana an uprlSnb SUeaIn enSine.
The engine was placed on the sidewalk, and
from six o'clock last evening until five
| o'clock this morning it kept the pump in
| operation. BY six o'clock all the water had
been pumped out of the cellar.
In the Greenville section all the sewers
were choked and a number of cellars were
| flooded. Many Of the streets were under
mined and the following cave-ins were
| reported to the police:-Ocean and Neptune
avenues, Gator avenue near Ocean; sidewalk
| on Ocean avenue near Dwight street, side
WALK in front of new No. 4 truck house,
| sidewalks at Ocean near Fulton avenue,
| Ocean near Gates avenue and Ocean near
| Seaview avenue. There are also four large
holes on Avenue e between Linden and
| Danforth avenues. The Street aud Water
Board has been notified. Last night many
of the residents Of the celery district We're
at work pumping the water out of the
cellars.
The basement of Barr & Dinwiddie's
printing and bookbinding factory was flooded
So that the presses had to be stopped. Large
ponds were formed in many of the vacant
lots and the section of Ocean avenue where
the macadam is torn up, was converted into
| a miniature river.

why Musical Timothy Mcdonald
Failed to XIII Himself.

Timothy Mcdonald, thirty years old, of
No. $50 Newark street, Hoboken, was
arrested this morning at fifteen min
utes past eleven o'clock on a warrant
charged with being drunk and disorderly.
Fifteen minutes after being put in a cell at
Police Headquarters he had his belt on and
was hanging from o bar over the top of the
cage. He Kicked so hard against the side OF
the cell that Roundsman Hammond looked
in to see what was happening. He cut the
drunken man down.
Mcdonald, after gasping q few times,
onened his mouth wide and scresched. Then
he began to sing ditties while Hammond
kickep him. He couldn't be persuaded to
stop singing. The man was arrested be-
cause he sat on the stoop of Edward Dwyer
and sang tunes with maudlin emphasis when
drunk last night. Dryer couldn't bulge
him. His mania for singing will land him

TEN THOUSAND FOR A HUSBAND
BY Marrying Before She Is Eighteen
Miss Inn Eali Loses That sum

BY Marrying Before She Is Eighteen
Miss Won Fall loses That sum.
There was much excitement in old Hudson
City this morning when it became known
that Lawyer William F. Spierling of No. 17S
New York avenue and Miss Amelia Won Fall
of No. 6l9 Palisade avenue nave been mar
ried since June "a. Two days previous to
that date Miss Won Fall caused considerable
gossip by procuring the publication of her
engagement to Mr.. Spierling, but no one
thought they would be married for several
years yet, as she is only sixteen
years old. Those who are acquainted
with the Von Fall family say that the mar
rage would not probably have taken place
vet, if it had not been for Papa Won Fall.
When he heard of the engagement he de-
clared that Miss Amelia was altogether too
young to embark upon the sea of matri-
mony, and deeIafedsthat the marriage would
not take place f6Fstwo whole years.
William and Amelia declared they loved
each other too we'll to wait all that time. So
they did not lose much time gTieving over
the parental mandate, but hastened over to
New York, where the Rev. John Young of
the christopher Street Lutheran Church
made them ffiah and wife. the happy young
people returned to the Heights and
went to their respective homes. Two days
afterward they went to Sussex county,
where they are now enjoying the honey
moon. For some reason both families kept
the marriage a secret, and it only leaked out
this morning by accident.
Mr.. Won Fall, the father of the bride said
that he was well pleased with his son-in-law
and had no objections whatever to his
daughter marrying him, but would rather
have had her wait until she
was eighteen. He said that when
she reached that age she would inherit
$4,000, providing she was unmarried. Now
the money will be divided among her
cousins. He further said that she was
aware of the legacy and the conditions set
forth in the will governing it. Mrs. Spierl-
ing is a tall, well developed for her age, and
is considered one of the p~rettiest girls on the
TJo,-b4o

L. Newman of Cincinnati. sis the sunfower
that blooms in the northern portion Of 81
ber, Ia, where the earth is continually covered
with a coating of snow and frost. This won
derful plant shoots forth from the frozen
soil on the first day Of the year and reaches
the height of about three feet: 1t blooms on
the third day, remains open twenty-four
hours, and then returns to the original ele-
mcnts. 1t shines for a single day, then the
stem. leaves, the flower are converted into
snow.
s'rhe leaves are three in number. The
flower is star shaped, its petals about as
long as the leaves and about half an inch
wide. On the third day the extremities of
the leaves show little glistening specks, like
diamonds, about the size of the head OF a
pin. These are the seeds of this queer
flower.
