the consumption of tea Ii steadily increas-
ing. The subject II one that has been
attracting considerable attention In the
United States, many efforts having been
made to bring about reform in the method
Of preparation. The Irish custom has been
to put a quantity Of ENTHUSIASTICALLY of
inferior quality-in the teapot early in the
morning and there allow them to stew the
whole day through, water being added
whenever necessary. Such a decoction az
that. after having been over the fire for an
hour or so. would be simply unfit to drink.
for the really invigorating qualities would
have long been dissipated. leaving behind
nothing but chemical essences Of the most
injurious sort. The tea habit. like the cof-
fee habit. the tobacco habit and the liquor
habit. Is easily acquired and seems to be
making rapid Roadway but its dangers
would be materially decreased could its vic
Tins only be persuaded to treat their stom-
achs and their minds fairly by drinking
only that which Is prepared in accordance
with rational rules. Tea that has been
boiled or that has stood for any considerable
length Of time over IRE. Is fit only to be
thrown away.

Congressional action on the eminently
fair proposition to give the Public Printer
money with which to pay discharged en-
pioyes Of the Government Printing ONCE
all that is due them under the provisions
or the leave-of-absence law, Is to be de-
lSyed until the Controller of the Treasury
makes public his construction of the statute
upon which the claims are based 1t seems
to be admitted by all who are in possession
OF the facts that the money asked for by
these VINO have been unfortunate enough
TO lose their positions in the Printing ONCE
has been honestly earned; extended delay
will therefore be inexcusable. The law
says: 1T shall be lawful to allow pro-rata
leave to those serving fractional parts of a
year" and as the pro-rata Is all that Is be-
ing pet1tioned for the legislative response
should be nearly immediate as possible
There Is no question Of sentiment involved
nor is the appropriation asked for to be
applied to charitable purposes; the govern
ment has incurred a financial obligation
which should be discharged at once. Many
Of the ,ex-employes OF the Printing Office
are DESTROYS Of proceeding to their homes
IN distant states. or to other places where
there is possibility Of profitable employ
ment: to some Of these the leave Of absence
pay would be a blessing of great mag
nitude. for only few have been able to
lay aside cash enough to make the proverb-
ial rainy day. anything like comfort

government should at once liquidate its in
debtedness to the discharged workpeople
cannot fairly be overturned: his attitude in
this matter and his evident anxiety to
hasten a settlement are highly creditable
to him

British statisticians have been inyesti-
eating insanity in Ireland and have reached
some valuable conclusions as to the causes
which have resulted in a great deal of
mental failure. Among the poorer classes
arrangement Is mainly due to the inferior
quality OF the food used and the immoderate
use OF certain nervous stimulants. notably
tea and tobacco. The Investigation dis
closed the fact that in many parts of Ire
land the common dietary has been so
changed as to bring about the substitution
OF bread and tea for porridge. milk and
potatoes This substitution could not do
otherwise than bring about constitutional
weakness. which would favor the develop
