An English social Funetion--Tea at Five.

An English Social Function--Tea at Five.
 Come and take tea with me at five" :" is one of the most welcome sounds one can hear in dirty, foggy London. The greater the fog, the more penetrating the dampness, all the more cheerily rings that sound Nothing in the whole British constitution has a more solid raison d'tree than tea. No one who has not felt the London fog penetrate to his very marrow can appreciate the full force of this statement; words would be as useless in this case as they are need- less in that of the experienced sufferer. Tea is real; tea is earnest; tea is a ne- cessity growing out of the very nature of things tea Is a function" in very truth, and, to my mind, a most vital function of life in England. Americans would all be as nervous as peas in a pod if they drank tea at home as much and as often as the English do here; but only come to England, and the most American of Americans will gladly strike his colors to tea. The stimulant is a necessity second only to dinner. No one thinks of emitting 1t, but wher- ever he is, whatever he is doing, tea beckons at five like the finger of fate. The Church of England may become disestablished, but never tea.
 What! not wait for tea! Why, should have headaches all day long if I did not have my tea" Thus the Eng hshwoman, who straightway rings her tea-bell, on hospitable thoughts intent. Then the maid or butler brings in the tea-table, covers it with a dainty white cloth of danhask or embroidered linen, and pulls out shelves from underneath are displayed the plates of thin bread-and-butter, cakes and bis cults, which are always served with tea. have never seen these little tea tables in America, with sliding or un- folding shelves beneath for the bread and cakes, leaving the whole top of the | table for the tea service alone; but here l they are quite common, and are cer- tainIy very handy.

 Has an Anti-Cigarette League been
 formed among the schoolboys of New
 Haven?
 | If not, principals and teachers, the
 blame and the shame of it rests with you!
 The Boys Anti-Cigarette League Is
 really a national organization with
 fourishing branches in many large
 cities. The latest enumeration gives the names of 25OOOO schoolboys who
 are pledged upon honor to abstain from
 cigarette smoking until they reach the age of twenty-one years. Of these, about 25,000 are found in New York city, branches of the league having been formed in the ninety-five grammar schools, and in many of the primary and parochial schools. The High street school branch of Hartford has one hundred and fifty members. What about New Haven?
 It is true that Connecticut, in com mon with some other states, has law forbidding the sale of cigarettes to any person under sixteen years of age. It also forbids to boys the use of tobacco in any form, in any public place, street, or resort. But this law appears to be a dead letter judging from what may be seen every day upon the streets. It is possible that some of these young smokers are over sixteen. From their stunted figures, thin cheeks, and dull eyes, one might judge them to be eighty-six.
 More than thirty years ago the use of tobacco was forbidden in all the National schools and institutions of France, for the reason that pupils ad- dicted to smoking fell far below the others in scholarship. Moreover 1t was proved to be a common cause of in- | sanity. Germany, the great military nation, also adopted such a law, be- | cause boys under sixteen who used | tobacco became too stunted and short | to come up to the military standard. | Our own government now forbids the | use of tobacco in all its naval and mili- | tary schools, because it causes weak | hearts, color blindness, unsteady hands, | dyspepsia, loss of memory, and power to study. "The future health and usefulness of boys in the Naval Academy requires the absolute of tobacco" says the Medi- cal Director of that school
 It is stated that tobacco is the cause of eighty distinct diseases, makes of persons insane, and costs, n this country alone, some 10000 lives every year. And since the law seems 10 be inadequate so protect our boys,

WRs WHITES CLAIM

Mrs. Nutt's claim has just received
 another setback through the defeat ot
 Congressman Catchings bill providing
 for the payment of her claim and some
 other claims like unto it. The story l of her claim well Illustrates what a
 watchdog of the United States treas
 ury has to contend with.
 Mrs. Mutt is a Mississippi woman who
 thinks that 1000 would do her good.
 Her original claim was for $117, ,499,
 and included such items as the burn
 ing of cotton gin, value $20,OO0; of | 700 bales of cotton, worth sill, ,32S of 1;70O acres of standing corn, valued
 at $6s,0OO, and of 1,7O0 acres of peas,
 worth 17,000. The southern claims
 commission, after a full hearing,
 awarded Mrs. Mutt $56, ,36S, which sum
 was paid her, she giving the receipt
 and the release in full of all demands
 against the government, which was re-
 quired by law. Having secured this nest egg, Mrs. Mutt went to Washington in 1881 and secured the passage of a special act by the forty-seventh con- gress, August z, 1S82 under which her claim was sent to the quartermaster general for adjudication. This time she wanted $1, 1,065264, which was about ten times the amount of her original claim. Her memory had wonderfully improved during ten years. She swore to loss of thirteen times as many bushels of peas and ten times as many bushels of corn as she did in 1871, and that the latter was worth $3 instead of $1 per bushel, which was her original claim. The quartermaster generals department finally found that her losses amounted to $256, SS4, and so re- ported to the house. The war claims committee reported against the appro- priation, holding that Mrs. Mutt was barred from recovering because of the receipt and release she had signed, and said that if these did not bar her out then 'it would be difficult for the government to determine when there would be an end to claims put forth | against it." Not discouraged by this | rebuff Mrs. Mutt appealed to the forty l eighth congress, and the war claims | committee gave her $35,556, which she | received under an act which provided | explicitly that she should only receive the money upon her giving a full re- lease and discharge to the government. It was naturally supposed that this would be the Mississippi widows last appearance, but not so. In February, 1887, the claim was again presented and to the war claims committee. which promptly disposed of it by send ng it to the court of claims. That court dismissed it January 3O 1888 This judgment was carried to the su- oreme court of the United States. which affirmed it April 30, the same ,ear. By some unknown hocus pocus Mrs. Nuts lawyers, in January, 1891, got her case before the court of claims lgain, notwithstanding that the su-

 Not for a long time has there been so much license in gloves. A great varie- ty Is shown in glace kid in heavy qual- ity, cut with five big buttons and heav- fly stitched at the back. For calling, the theater, except with elaborate dressing, for church and for all but very heavy or very dressy use, such gloves have entirely taken the place of the delicate suede that used to be worn on all occasions. The latter is still the most becoming glove, and in mode, tan and gray shades is worn in seven and five button length with elaborate call ing, church and theater gowns, With a long sleeve a glove more than seven button is not considered good taste whether it is suede or not Glace kid is taking the place of suede in light shades, though it Is by no means so becoming kid; on the other hand, it cleanses well and stays clean better.

Girls Of To-Day.

"The average girl of day is a foun-
tain head of ideas," said Mrs. Tannat
Wood, recently at the Professional Wo.
mans League.
"She sees for herself; thinks her own
thoughts, aud often expresses them IN
terse and concise English. Our American
woman at her best is peerless. She NAV

twenty or twenty-five, usually find her

She always secs on heights beyound more
work to do.
The reckless, careless girl is a MANAGE
to society. Honor seems unknown to
her. She endeavors to extenuate her
faults by calling attention to matrons
whose comfort is not above reproach..-
When the daughters of rich men visit the
rich men visit the private rooms of batch
elors and cook suppers ard indulge in

When those girls msrry, they are gen

they have daughters of their own, they

The socity girl, it seems to me, has re.

be an additional powsr. When it becomes
too exact!ng, the wise girl turns her back
upon it, as does the triumphs.

Toe Rich Food BAD For Children,

Too much rich food, particularly meat,
causes a projections development of the
animal nature. with partial arrest of the
animal nature, with partial arrest of the
intellectual development. And the bal
ance between the two never restored. So
We get the common types in rich families
of sons and daughters with impulsive and
uncontrolled animal nature, and child
like minds. They have, often, fully de.
veloped (but not very ,trong) bodies, and
this body harbors ar intellect and a will
that appear ludicrousiv small and weak
by contrast. Life lived with this unhar-
monious equipment is too often not worth
going through with, as the faces of these
unfortunates too commonly show by the
fortieth year. Ennui, domestic unl1a npi.

other, these are but invl.able incident
of Hfa that has been unbalanced in body

The 4th annual 1air to be held at James
town, September "a 27, promises to exec,
any previous attempt, and to draw the
biggest attendance of any year. The
fact that every railroad in the State has
made half rate on this occasion ought
to put the trip wiehin tho reach of all.
More interest has been shown and more
inquiries made about this fair than in any
other year.
The races are going to be first class in
every respect. There is larger strong
of fast horses coming than ever visited
the State before, and the prospect is now
that extra stalls will have to be built to
hold them all.
