Tea Drinking In England.

There is no doubt as to tho tea drinking propensities of the English race. We firt with coffee, but tea Is our only serious love. With the exception of Russia, We drink more of it than all the rest of the continent put together. It is the one uni versal drink of all classes, and, it Is to be feared, by all classes it is abused in the same fashion. The grand dame and the charwoman both find solace in the teacup, and both turn to it rather too frequently. The volume of tea consumption has stead fly increased with the fall of the price of ten, and now that it Is within reach of even the poorest it Is no longer a luxury, but a necessary of English life.
 Afternoon tea is tho most interchangeable of social functions in London. Our neigh bors across the channel, with that sincero flattery which they sometimes pay to our failings, have attempted tO borrow this custom also, but have never succeeded in actually drinking the tea. French people may invite each other to ' ! o'cloquer, but they have far too great respect for their digestions to wander, as wc do, from house to house, drinking at each tepid cup of unknown strength. For, after all, it is in the making of the tea and not in tho amount that is consumed that the real danger lies. The Russians arc even greater tea drinkers than we are. but they would never touch the terrible black draft which is our delight.-Spectator

It Is over One Hundred and Fifty Feet
 High and Is One of Spain's Oddities.
 One of the most inter esting arohitec- tural oddities of Spain is the tree tower now being erected in Bilbao, the capital of the Basque province of Biscay. The province is populated by a rugged race, the descendants of the Visigoths. who, under the leadership of Alaric sacked Rome ill 410 A. D. and overran Italy and Spain. For many centuries they fought the Spaniards, but in time became patriotic Spaniards themselves. One of the landmarks of Bilbao was the "Arbol de Guernica," the trunk of a great tree that stood in the market place. Like the hardy Basques, it braved the storms, and for many centuries it looked down upon generation after gen eration. Finally bolt of lightning felled it to the ground.
 Bilbao was grief stricken at the loss, and to reproduce the old landmark and rear an imposing monument typifying Basque patriotism Don M Alberto de PalaciO, an eminent engineer, designed

It was the driver of q truck who was going about collecting empty barrels, rolling two bar. rels on end at once.

Horrible are the stories of the poisonous rings by means of which so many a mur- der has been done so many an undesira- ble friend or relative gotten out of the way. The famous ring of Caesar Borgia was massive, but hollow, and in this cav ity he carried a deadly poison, which, by means of cunninglJ devised slide, was dropped into the wine cup of any guess of whom he might desire to be rid.
 Other death rings" communicated poi son by means of small, sharp steel claws, cleft in such manner that when the hand of the wearer pressed that of the destined victim a slight wound was inflicted and tho poison forced out Still others con- oealed in the inside poisoned needle, which, on pressure, darted out like the sting of a bee, and though the puncture was of the slightest the victim was cold in death within few hours-New York Ad- yortiSer
