Careful with Tea.

AS a rule, it is only among the pros
porous that ono finds the pet meanness.
Tho poor haven't time to develop fads
Of any kind; they never have much Of
anything, but they give Of their little in
a way that puts their richer neighbors
TO blush.
The most amusing instance. 1 can re-
call Of the effect Of a suddenly acquired
fortune upon pet meanness is that told
by an English author about an old wom-
an in an almshouse, who came into a
million by a chancery decision that bad
been pending 100 years. She bought ey-
erything that money could buy-silks,
velvets, laces, furs, estates, carriages,
horses, soidisant friends even. She
threw away her bank notes upon every
thing imaginable, in a kind Of frenzy of
possession. But when it came to tea
she suffered, she debated, she chartered,
but she never could make up her mind
to buy and pay for, at any one time,
more than "quarter of q pound OF
good black Bohea." She would have
felt beggared by pound Of any tea at
any price; it had always been SO pre-
cious to her that she had lost all sense Of
its intrinsic value. Perhaps itrepresent.

A Double Dinner.

A distinguished judge frequently
brings friends homo to dinner quite IN
expectedly. This habit is certainly hos
pitable, but it is not popular with wives
One court day the genial judge in
vited a number Of his legal brethren tC
dine with him, serenely obliyious Of
the fact that his wife was totally IN
prepared for such an incursion. The Ia
dy, however, was equal to the occasion.
She did not fuss and frown and make
things unpleasant all round. On the
contrary, she accepted the situation
with q good grace and made the best
Of it.
The modest meal was served as
promptly as possible, and though twas
not a sumptuous banquet it was at
least agreeable to guests and host. When
dinner was over, just before leaving
the gentlemen to their wine and cigars,
the lady rose and said:
Gentlemen, | wish to say one word.
You have dined today with the judge
will you do mo the honor Of dining to-
morrow with mey"
A chorus Of applause greeted this
speech, and next day the lady welcomed
her husband S friends to 4 dinner worthy
Of such an accomplished hostess. -Ex-

A Latter Day Philanthropist.

Loans without security are a bait

their honor for O substantial monetary
advance Honor is inexhaustible, espe-
cially when it can be turned into hard
cash, so the scheme babe fair to succeed.
But on the face Of it as a commercial
speculation it was poor investment.
Its philanthropy was its chief recon-
mendation, and therefore its author, a
chemists assistant formerly, with two
companions, felt emboldened to initiate
Nine. Eugene Buffet and sing in the
streets to invite the charitable public to
contribute to the New Students Friend

thropic loan Office.
The trio selected the Normandy coast
resorts for their tour and duly adyor-
tised their philanthropic motives in the
local press But unfortunately N. La
cour preached without practicing. He
had himself contracted a number Of lit
tie debts on the strength Of his honor,
and his creditors were not quite satisfied
with the value Of that security, and
when recently he borrowed from a
friend a bicycle, which he at once
handed over to a cafe keeper who was
dunning him for money, the bicyclist
took an unkind view Of the transaction
and lodged a complaint with the police,

THE AFTERNOON TEA.

terialiy Changed. --.>~7(

terially changed -s>T 2.
It is the general complaint that both
at afternoon teas and at homes tho tea
is l1ade disagreoably and perniciously
strong Formerly such a complaint was
never heard; a strong cup Of tea was
the fashion; all liked it, and thought
themselves i'll treated if anything else
were offered them; now it is quite the
other way, and a hostess who studies
the fashion Of the day and the tastes OF
her guests makes rulo Of asking
whether weak or strong tea is preferred
before pouring it out, and then adding
hot water to taste, while others train
their servants, at some trouble to them
selves, to bring il the tea tho moment
it is made
Now is the timo for some spirited
patentee to produce an invention that
could be applied to cur dear old silver
teapots or to modern china cnes to hold
the tea leaves and prevent their sinking
to the bottom Of the teapot, and thus
brewing the harmful solution that is ac-
credited with bringing about such Ill
effects. An approach to something OF
this sort has been attempted in the lit
tie japanese tcapots with china strain
ers, but these arc too small for large
teap0ts, and something further, which
could be adjusted to any sized teapot,
is required.
Half past I, OF even O'Clock, is now
the regulation tea hour, and when peo-
pie adhere to the old fashioned custom
Of giving ) o'clock tea their friends re-

pccially in tho country, when, after a
long drive or bicycle ride, the half
hours delay in the accustomed tea hour
makes all tho difference to exhausted
nature, for tea Is allowed, even by its
opponents, to have stimulating and
restorative effect On the constitution -

and the "deloterious" results.

tomatoes, cucumber and cress, ETC., in
addition to hot scenes and tea cakes, or
mullins and buttered buns, rich cake,
iced and ornamented cakes, etc. Not
only at large at home teas are these
given, but at the usual afternoon draw
ing room, and, as a rule, the appetites
Of the guests arc found equal to the &C.

The latenes5 Of the dinner hour is
doubtless the excuse and the reason for
the readiness shown to eat and enjoy
these dainties thus early in the after
noon. BE this as it may, a substantial
afternoon tea has become tho fashion,
and few wish it otherwise; occasionally
one comics across a man or woman

"DIEO OF CHOLERA"
The History Of Eighteen Graves In the
Country Churchyard at Sandy Hill.

Country Churchyard at Sandy Hill.
In the old graveyard Of the Sandy
Hill district, in the town Of Dansville,
are IS graves, the time stained stones Of
which, below the names and dates in
scribed thereon, bear the words, died
of Cholera. The time covered by the
dates is from Aug "a to Sept 3, 1884
-12 days. The settlement thereabout,
in 1884, was an isolated one among the
pines that then covered northern Steu-
ben county. and composed Of not more
than threescore souls. The story Of how
it fell victim to the scourge that carried
one-third Of its population away is told
By an old resident.
Among the earliest settlers IN the
Sandy Hill district was John Brazil, who
came with his wife and seven children in
1917 and began clearing up farm. He
was a Pennsylvania German, eccentric,
but kindly and lovable. A physical pc
culiarity Of this pioneer was that his
teeth were all double, every one Of Thorn
being sound when he died at the ago Of
90. In 1884 a great many Germans be-
gan settling in that part Of Steuben
county. They came from New York up
the Hudson river to Albany, thence TO
Buffalo by the Erie canal, and the rest
of the way as they could.
In the summer Of 1884 five Germans
came to the Sandy Hill district, where
they had purchased land of agents and
became guests of Brazil They had
walked from Buffalo, where they had
left their families, In the kindness Of
his heart Brazil sent teams to Buffalo to
fetch the latter in. He had vacant
loghouse ON his farm, which he placed
at the disposal Of the emigrants until
they could put up houses on their land.
Mrs Brazil helped some of the women
in washing clothes the day they arrived.
That evening she was taken violently
III and died in great agony the next day,
Aug. a. Doctors had been summoned
from Dansyille. They said Mrs. Brazil
had died Of cholera morbus. Some Of
her neighbors insisted that it was a case
Of malignant cholera and forbade q
public funeral Mrs. Brazil was buried |
on Thursday. On Saturday two of her |
daughters were Frustrated with tho dis
ease. One Of them died the same night.
While her plain hemlock coffin was be-
ing made brother was seized with the /
malady and shut himself in tho barn,
where he died while his sisters body
was being taken to the graveyard. One
by one the emigrants fell victims to the
disease A Mrs Kerch and her children
died within three days. Between that
time and Sept. 30 eight others fell vic.
Tins TO the plague. All were buried,
after the funeral Of Mrs. Brazil, with tho
clothes they wore or wrapped in the
bedding ON which they died. It was
afterward learned that ON the way from
Albany to Buffalo sister Of Mrs. Kerch
died after symptoms such as had attend
ed the victims at Sandy Hill. She was
buried, but her clothing was kept and
placed in O trunk. That clothing was
some that Mrs. Brazil assisted in wash
ing on the arrival of the emigrants at
the Brazil farm.

was defeated because he insisted upon
making free silver the issue after his
party had nominated him on a sound
money platform. Kentucky is strongly
Democratic and would have elected
Hardin had he decided to cast his lot
with Carlisle and McCreary, instead Of
with Blackburn. He now goes down
with Blackburn and the other cheap
money demagogues. Whether Senator
Blackburn 5 successor is a Democrat or
a Republican he will not be a silverite.
The next best test was made in the
Eighteenth congressional district Of Hi
nois, where the question Of free silver
was presented squarely in the views of
the opposing candidates. Hadley, the
Republican candidate, won by big
majority in strongly Democratic dis
trict because his opponent stood for free
coinage and was helped, or rather "hoo-
dooed," by the speeches Of Bland and
other leading silverites. The lesson will
be a wholesome one for the Illinois
Democrats who last spring went of half
cooked in favor Of free coinage at 10
to /.
Nebraska, Ohio, Mississippi and other
states give no consolation to Bland,
Bryan, Blackburn or the silver mine
owning senators. Sixteen to is put to
sleep for a generation. May its Rip Van
Wrinkle slnmber be as peaceful as has
been that Of grecnbackism during the
past generation.
The free silver swindle will never
again seriously disturb our finances or
cause another panic. But unfortunately
much positive work remains to be done
before we get rid Of fiat money In all
its forms and secure a sound and elastic
currency for our commercial interests.

Rents In London and Paris.

Some interesting figures concerning
house rent in London and Paris have
recently been published in lie Journal
des Debats. 1t appears that in Paris its
population of 1880, 600 pays nearly as
much rent as London, with twice the
number of inhabitants. The 1880, 900
Parisians have only $1,000 dwellings
to live in, while the number Of houses
that the 5000, 900 Londoners occupy is
nearly ten times as many. In Paris,
where the people live in. flats, there are
on an average over 270 persons residing
in each house. In London the average
is only seven persons to house. Yet
for much less comfort and space the
Parisians have to pay little short Of
double the rent paid by Londoners. The
total annual rent Of Paris, says 10
Journal, is now us, 900. 900 francs, or
sl55, 600, 900, while Londoners, who are
twice the number Of ParisiaDs, only pay
flS5, 900, 600 for far more comfortable
dwelling accommodation. The average
rent paid by Londoners is between $50
and $40, while in Paris it is nearly $40.

Churches and Electric light.

The congregation Of sacred rites In
Rome was recently asked to decide
whether electric lights could he used
"for dissipating darkness and for in
creasing the exterior attractiveness Of

"For worship, no. But for dispelling
darkness and eliminating churches
moro brilliantly, yes; with caution,
however, SO that the manner may not

MOUND BUILDERS IN MINNESOTA.
Recent Discoveries IN the Basin of the
Upper Mississippi.

Upper Mississippi.
An exceedingly valuable article bear
ing upon the prehistoric inhabitants Of
Minnesota has been prepared by the
Hon. J. V. Brewer, embodying the re-
suits Of investigations made by himself
and Professor r. H. Lewis ahOuS the
head waters Of the Mississippi. Mr.
Brewer is an adept in exploration and
the best authority on the basin Of the
upper Mississippi He has found traces
and relics Of the mound builders through
the entire basin Of the upper Mississippi,
from Lake Itasca to the falls Of Po-
kegama Through this district the
mounds are discovered everywhere
They are composed Of various materials
and were probably erected for different
purposes, but all bear witness to the ex-
istence here in prehistoric times Of
people who have now utterly vanished
from the face Of the earth.
This mound building people lived
probably, in Mr.. Brewers opinions,
where our people now have their homes
at least 1900 years ago. They discoy-
cred and opened the various portages
between the great lakes in the Missis-
sippi basin. They were Of a race su-
perior to any of the savage tribes that
succeeded them. The host Of relics
picked up here and there through the
region, together with the contents of
mounds that have been explored, gives
US what knowledge we have Of them.
They resided mostly upon lake shores,
in villages and lived upon game and
fish. They used vessels Of pottery, stone
implements, the bow and arrow and
implements Of copper They were Of
full stature, and the formation Of the
skulls that Mr.. Brewers party exhumed
and examined indicates a high degree
of intelligence.
The existence of mounds Of smaller
oonstruction-effigy mounds and sites
for worship or for burial-oyer a wide
portion Of the Mississippi valley sug-
gests the general distribution at some
prehistoric day Of this race Of people, Of
whose other work we know so little,
and whose origin and fate are wrapped
in common mystery. st. Paul Globe.

A matter Of almost international in
terest that is known to but very few
intimate friends Of DR., ]. NJ. Crawford,
late consul general to St. Petersburg, is
the fact that when he was about to leave
Russia and had severed his connection
as representative of the United States
a number Of officials representing the
car Of all the Russians called upon him,
and on behalf Of the emperor presented
DR.. Crawford with what is probably the
handsomest set Of solid silver service in
this city today as a token Of the esteem
in which the emperor held the consul
general 1t will be remembered that in
1892 the United States sent to Russia
two shiploads Of -four, because the crops
there had failed and the peasants We're
starving. The ships State Of Missouri
and State Of Indiana were dispatched
there with cargoes Of -four as gift from
the American people and landed ut the
war port of Libau, which is now being
built, and where there were / 900 work
men who were on the verge Of starva'
ton. Dr. Crawford went to Libau as
the representative Of his government to
receive the flour and formally present it
to the Russian authorities for distribu-
ton. For the great interest that he took
in it the emperor desired to give an in
dication Of the fact that he appreciated
it.-Cincinuati Tribune.
