The HERALD some time ago published
the report Of Secretary John Reed of the
state fair commission and incidentally
asked for Treasurer Enple's report. 1t
was not done in any spirit of criticism
but merely to satisfy the public appetite
for news. and THE HERALD now learns
that Mr.. Engle, with his customary habit
Of promptly attending to all business in
trusted to him, had filed his report with
the governor month in advance of any
other, and that it Tailed IN every particu-
lar with the statement of the other Off
GERS. A copy of this report has been in
the hands of President Parker for some
time past.

it contains a study of the character of the
British. 1t is perhaps the best book ever
written about great people by foreigner.
Emerson had a singularly keen sense of
the ridiculous, he had an uncommon share
of common sense, and he had marvellous
insight into humanity, and it is therefore
the highest possible testimony to the sub
stantial merits of the British that they
stood so well the ordeal of his examination.
He was too sturdy an American to be
taken in by the glamour of the aristocratiG
arrangement of their society. He saw
clearly the weakness of the British SYSTEM

stephen Girard.

Stephen Girard (died Dec &c, 1851 be-
gan his remarkable trading career with
one object, which he steadily kept in view
all his long life-the making Of money for
the power it conferred. He practiced the
most rigid personal economy; he resisted
all the allurements of pleasure; he exacted
the last farthing that was due him, and he
paid the last farthing that he owed; he
took every advantage which the law al
lowed him in resisting claim; he used
men just so far as they would accomplish
his purpose; he paid his servants no more
than the market price; he had no sense
of hospitality no friend to share his house
or his table.
He was devoted to the improvement OF
his adopted city and country; he was a
determined follower of ostcntatious char
ity. No man ever applied to him for n
large public grant in vain, while the starv-
ing beggar was invariably sent from his
gate. He steadily rose every morning be-
fore the lark, and unceasing labor was the
daily worship of his life; he left his
monument in the Girard coilcge-that
marble rooted palace for the education and
protection of the orphan children Of the
poor which stands, the most perfect model
of architecture in the new world, high

Those who think of him as a solemn
Iundit of aesthetics may be amazed to
know that he delighted in very simple and

Private Dining Room.

The private dining room is one New
York institution that people from the
country know very little about. 1t would
surprise a good many New York people to
know how many houses there are that are
simply story after story of tiny, closetIike
rooms, corresponding to the cabinet par
ticulier OF Paris. In the larger restaurants
and hotels there are plenty of private din.
ing rooms for parties, but absolutely none
for a gentleman and lady alone. But
there arc other places not so particular
Some of these restaurants where almost
all the dinners are served in private rooms
are eminentiy respectable. One, rather
far down town, is IA sleepy old place, which
is haunt of upper Bohemia. Nothing
could be more chilly than its bare littlo
rooms with their mahogany tables, pier
glass and four s~=irs. The dinner is eX.

which to indulge it can go there with per.

dining rooms are luxuriously fur ished

THE NEW STEP.
A Prstsy Clog Dancer Who Was Afraid
She Might Lose 1t.


There were several good and sufficient
reasons why people should stop and look
at her She was young and pretty, was as
trim as n whip from top to toes, the one
being covered with n soft brown hat, hav.
ing an alpine plume of feathers stuck
jauntily at the side, and the others being
covered with snugly fitting shoes, with
low, fat heels. Yet pretty as the top was
and it was decidedly pretty, with its
loose light hair, blue eyes and fresh checks
it was the toes that attracted most at
tention. She did not seem able to keep
chem still
1t would be wrong, therefore, TO say
that she was standing ON Seventeenth
street, near Union square, waiting for n
cross town car, but it is no offense against
the pure spirit of journalistic veracity to
say that that is where she was seen.
Soon the bootblacks lounging on the
sidewalk saw her and her tripping feet
and sat down on their little boxes to watch
her or them. But the girl never noticed
her visitors, and with her eyes intently
fixed on her feet moved them briskly this
way and that two little flips to the left,
two little slides to the right, her lips mean.
while moving as though she were count.
ing Her hands hung straight at her
sides, and her whole expression was one of
seriousness and utter oblivion to her sur,
roundings.
1t was not long before the bootblaCks
were joined by some men. Then one or
two women halted II moment, and soon
there was quite crowd on the sidewalk
decent, orderly crowd, Still the girl Sc.
riously footed it on the crossing. Then a
Broadway policeman saw the crowd and
moved pondcrously over to find out what
the matter was. A few shoyes and pushes
broke up the audience, and then the po-
liceman stepped up to the girl and touched
her with LeXowesQue gentleness on the
shoulder.
What are ye afther attractin attention

The girl stopped footing it and looked
up with establishment into the officer

TEA lNTOXlCATlON.
The Detection of the Leaf Is Almost CD
,JagfuI as Alcohol,

Those good persons who come under the
head of tea and toast philosophers and tea
drinkers generally will be interested in
the statement Of medical authority that
the Juice of tho tea leaf ranks second only
to alcohol as an iutoEicant
DR.. james Wood Of { Brooklyn health
board has complied somc statistics bearing
on this subject, and he finds that of all the
patients applying for treatment at the
chief dispCnsary of the City of Churches
no less than 0per cent are tea drunkards
They are not aware of the fact, but'thc
symptoms of their cases point unmstaka
bly, to ovcrindulgence in tea, and that pre-
sumption or inquiry is confirmed by their
confessions. They suffer from headache,
vertigo, insomnia, palpitation of the heart,
mental confusion, nightmare, nausea, hal.
Iucinatons, morbid depression of spirits
and sometimes from suicidal impulses
DR.. Wood sums up his investigation in
The Medical News and says that the pa
tients referred To were of both sexes and
all ages. They confessed to drinking from
y pints, the minimum amount stated, to
10 pints of tea each day. More than half
of the patients were of Irish birth or de
scent, and nearly third were domestic
servants.
In Ireland tea poisoning has long been
recognized as widely prevalent evil, con-
tributing largely to the number of inmates
of insane asylums, etc, and it is well
known fact that the most invetcSato drink
ers of tea in this country arc domestiCs of
Celtic origin who apparently bring tho
habit with them to America.
The evil of tea drinking is not due so
much to the amount consumed as to the
manner in which the liquid is prepared.
DR.. Wood says that in most of the cases
that came under his observation the vic
tins were in the habit of throwing into
the teapot an unmeasured quantity of tea
leaves and of adding boiling water to tho
connection as long as the desire for the
stimulant remained unquenched. Some
times the leaves were kept soaking for a
day or, more, when new supply Of tea
leaves would be thrown in on top The
constant boiling of tea in this manner OK
tracts the most deleterious substances Of
the tea leaf.
Tea left standing for 24 hours for in
stance, will generate from to II per cent
of tannin and IL lot of other injurious
things. This form of preparation is most
prevalent among kitchen servants who are
restricted in tho use of tea and among
shop and factory girls, who arc also great
tea drinkers, and is too often practiccd
among other people of small means who
do not wish to waste single leaf as long
as there is any strength" in it.
At best tea is not healthful, but if you
must drink it the proper way to prepare
the fluid is to pour boiling water over n
given quantity in proper proportion, let IL
stand for three minutes or so and then
drink what you want, throwing tho re-
mainGer away and being careful that the
teapot is thoroughly cleaned before it is
put away for future USE Brooklyn Eagle
