A communication in Sundays Re

OF Hon. Thomas Wren, speaking of
the action Of the Assembly on the
Comin's funding resolution, says:
"The Assembly may fairly be crit
cised for its action upon the resolu-
ton instructing our Senators and
requesting cur members of the lower
House to vote against any extension
OF time for the payment of the debts
Of the Pacific railroads. What is
called the Comins' resolution p used
the Senate and was transmitted to
the Assembly. Mr.. Beck, in that
body, offered to amend by striking
out all after the word Resolved in
the Comins' resolution and inserting
In its stead the exact language of
the platform of the Silver party Of
the State. The amendment was
adopted by vote of % to 7 and the
resolution as amended was passed by
a practically unanimous vote, only
one member voting against it. On
the next day Noel moved to recon
slider the vote by which the resolution
was adopted as amended and the mo.
ton carried. Noel then novel to
strike out the Beck amendment and
to reinstate the Comins' resolution.
Thereupon Allen moved to amend
Noel's proposed amendment by in
sorting instead thereof a plank of the
platform Of the Silver party of this
State. Aliens amendment to Noel's
amendment was lost. Nocl's amend

When we consider the amount Of
earthly or inorganic substances, includ-
ing sogle of metallic origin that we arc
in the habit of taking with our foods, it
may be a question whether the eating
and drinking habits of our most enlight-
ened people are not open to criticism.
The Pacific Health Journal SAYS that
1t is a well known fact that the habitual
use of limestone and other mineral wa
ters will cause goiter The mineral prod
ucts cannot be absorb ID into the fluids
of tho body and thrown out They are
therefore deposited in the glandular sys-
tenn, giving rise to disease of these or
gans. And yet are not mineral waters
extolled to the skies? And do not our
invalids rush to the mineral springs
all over the country, expecting to be
healed? You could not persuade these
people that pure water would answer
just as VIOLIN fact, better-though
certain celebrated springs, the waters Of
which, as shown by chemical analysis,
are entirely free from any foreign in
gredient, have given most wonderful re-
suits
One effect Of the use Of mineral or
earthly substances in food or drink is to
break down the kidneys The habitual
use Of bicarbonate Of soda in bread, PAS
tries, ETC., is no doabt injurious. But
how many are willing to give up their
hot biscuits at breakfast or their batter
cakes, though very palatable bread can
be made, and also light, with nothing
in it but air and water?

AoruaIIy stealing Wind.

Say, officer, 1 wish you'd drive
those hOboes away or run them in, - re-
quested the manager of a Market street
cyclery. They're hanging around the
door trying to steal our air all day long. !"
"Trying to steal what?"
"Our air--what we use to blow up
pneumatic tires with.
''Do you fellows own the air here?
Did yOu rent it with the premises?
You'll be accusing somebody Of running
off with your sunbeams next l suppose
those hoboes grab handful of air when
you amt looking, jam it in their pock-
cts and run, ehy"
"Well, if you don't believe it, just
come back here and watch. !"
The clerk led the way to the back
part of the establishment, where he
and the officer concealed themselves
behind a curtain. In a moment big
tramp peered in at the door, mopped
the perspiration from his face, slipped
up to the little rubber hose attached to
the air compressor in the basement,
thrust the nozzle into his steaming col
lar and turned the stop cock The wind
whistled through his clothes, and for a
moment he was the picture Of content
ment. Before he could get cooled off
two more were anxiously waiting their
turn at the nozzle
The officer took him to the city prison
and wanted to charge him with petty
larceny for stealing air, but had to make

branches carefully prUned, they resem-
bio an orchard Of small fruit trees, with
the branches forling like peaches. But
it is not an orchard. It is garden
similar to thousands ia China and other
Asiatic countries. It is genuine tea
garden.
To those who have seen the cheap
prints and china representations of tea
bushes growing ON mountain sides these
straight rows along the flat ground have
an unfamiliar look, but it is the eli
mate, and not so much the clay of the
land, " that fosters them Right in this
Carolina forest the temperature happens
to be the best in the country for tea
growing 1t is just about warm enough,
/ and just about moist enough, and heat,
combined with moisture, is the spe-
cial requirement to make good tea
leaves. The 20 acres of gardens" con-
1 tain several thousand shrubs. " From
these the owner hopes to secure this
year about 1000 pounds of black tea,
which will retail at 81 aud Sl4O per
pound. Last year his crop was about
500 pounds from an area Of 10 acres
This Is considerably better than raising
cotton at the present prices, so he thinks
The garden contains shrubs raised
from tea seed imported from Japan,
China, Ceylon, Formosa and Asam,
Asia; also what are called Asam by
birds, which are considered the most
profitable, and Ceylon hybrids, which
are obtained by mixing the seed of the
pure Assam or Ceylon with some other
grade.
The shrubs grow six feet apart, as
they require a large amount Of nourish
ment and exhaust a large area of ground.
Shingles or straw are placed over the
plants when the first shoots appear, and
every care is taken 10 protect them from
frost until they have reached a height
Of two or three feet, when they become
fairly hardy and can Withstand usually
the changes Of temperature which occur
during the year. The shrubs can be
grown by grating, but are less hardy
than if raised by the seeding process.
When the shrub is about three feet
high, the harvesting of the tea begins,
and this is perhaps the most interesting
stage of all Armed with sharp knife,
the fieldhand cuts off in May about half
of the leaves and smaller branches If
the growth has been healthy, the shrub
throws out new foliage Of leaves at |

inches in length, according to the vari
ety. They are picked off as fast as they |
reach suitable size, and the operation |
is repeated from May until October as

A Girl soldier In cuba.

A little romance is recounted in con-
nection with the battleo of Des Rios. In
the heat of the battle a bugler Of San
doval's regiment was seriously cut over
the head and shoulders with a machete
i'll the hands Of one of the attacking
rebel officers. The bugler, handsome
young man Of a decidedly feminine ap-
pearance, enrolled as Miguel Orbaneia
TarTes, it appears, is a young girl
Thinking her wound mortal, she CON
fessed her secret to a fellow soldier aft
er the battle.
She had enlisted in Spain as a volun-
teer for service in Cuba, in order to ac-
company her affianced, whose name had
been drawn for one Of the first expedi-
tions brought ont from the peninsula
three months ago. In the company the
two passed as brothers. The lover had
been killed few weeks before the bat
tie of Dos Rios in a skirmish at Hatillo,
near st. Luis She had taken tho death
of her supposed brother but real lover
very hard indeed, but until the day she
herself was wounded had never disclosed
their real relations to any one, New

The only plantation on this continent
where tea is grown successfully for the

Charles o. Shepard, who is making tea

simply made clearing in tie woods,
and as the visitor eperges from the
trees into the open space he sees what
is apparently stunted peach orchard,
only the leaves are too small and of
very dark green. On a closer examina-
ton the leaves resemble those on cur

thick enough for tree branches. Some

$3.50, Andrew Jackson Davis works
for $40. Goes to hear infdels talk at the
clubs and to see spiritualism at the table
