Private Dining Room.

The private dining room is one New York institution that people from the country know very little about. It would surprise good many New York people to know how many houses there are that are simply story after story of tiny, closetliko rooms, corresponding to the cabinet par ticuler of Paris In the larger restaurants and hotels thero are plenty of private din ing rooms for parties, but absolutely none for gentleman and lady alone. But there are other places not so particular.
 Some of these restaurants where almost all the dinners are served in private rooms are eminently respectable. One, rather far down town, is a sleepy old place. which is haunt of upper Bohemia. Nothing could be moro chilly than it's bare little rooms with their mahogany tables, pier glass and four chairs The dinner is OK cellent, the wines and cigars of the best, and man and woman with tasto for confidential talk and no better place in which to indulge it can go there with per feet propriety. Some of the other private dining rooms are luxuriously furnished as fully as though they might be designed for light housekeeping. York Her aId

He Held the super's Hat.

They say that Edwin Booth could be awesome in private life and was won't to draw about himself on any and every oc- casion circle, in which the presuming, if they dared to enter, were blighted by tho lightnngs of the great tragedian's god- like wrath. This was Booth. That other star, Joe Jefferson, is quite another sort of actor in private life. What could you expcct9 Could Joe Jefferson be awesome2 The idea is so impossible that this story seems almost a matter of course.
 This is the story. There arc numerous juvenile "supers' in Rip Van Winkle. !" One of tho smallest of them stood, hat in hand waiting for his cue. The hat was not wanted in the young histrion's ap- preaching ''turE.'' Suddenly the young ster turned to the nearest bystander with: < Say, there's my cue., Hold my bat, will youf"
 The bystander held the hat most oblig- ingly until it's owner returned, and look ing around him inquired, "Who took my hatf"
 T took it" the answer came, and 1t came from the immortal Joe Jefferson. The infant recovered from his collapse in time to finish his part in the eplay.-Louis- ville Courier-J ournal.

drinkers generally will be interested in the statement of a medical authority that the juice of tho tea leaf ranks second only to alcohol as an intoxicant.
 Dr-James Wood of tho Brooklyn health board has compiled some statistics bearing on this subject, and h6 finds that of all tho patients applying for treatment at the chief dispensary of the City of Churches no less than 10 per cent are tea drunkards.
 They are not aware of the fact but the symptoms of their cases point unmistaka- bly to oyerindulgence 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 lucinations, 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 1 1a 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 a widely prevalent evil, con tributing largely to tho number of inmates of insane asylums, etc., and it is we'll known fact that the most inveterate drink CTS of tea in this country are domestics of Celtic origin who apparently bring the habit with them to America.
 Tho evil of tea drinking is not due so much to tho amount consumed as to tho manner in which the liquid is prepared Dr. Wood says that in most of the cases sAot oopaa undap hic obcorunfion thu vi tins were in the habit of throwing into tho teapot an unmeasured quantity of tea leaves and of adding boiling water to the concoction as long as the desire for the stimulant remained unquenched. Some- times tho leaves were kept soaking for day or more, when a new supply of tea leaves would be thrown in on top. The constant boiling of tea in this manner ex- tracts tho most deleterious substances of the tea leaf.
 Tea left standing for 24 hours, for in- stance will generate from to 17 per cent of tannin and lot of other injurious things. This form of preparation is most prevalent among kitchen servants who are restricted in the use of tea and among shop and factory girls, who are also great tea drinkers, and is too often practiced among other people of small means who do not wish to waste a single leaf as long as there is any strength in it.
 At best tea is not healthful, but if you must drink 1t tho proper way to prepare the fluid is to pour boiling water over given quantity in proper proportion, let it stand for three minutes or so and then drink what you want, throwing tho re- mainder away and being careful that the teapot is thoroughly cleaned before it is put away for future Brooklyn Eagle.

Ministers Then and Now.

While the ministerial character may be as genuine and pious as 1t ever was, the attitude, manners, etiquette, habits and professional standards of the ministry are not what they used to bo 200 years ago or even 90 years ago. An old fashioned, sleek silkiness and professional nasality, once not uncommon, have been dropped. That heavenly minded elocution which consisted in speaking down the throat with pietistio twang. like the snap of a bowstring, has given place to more direct, manly address The relation between min ister and people is less formal, but more hearty and friendly. To be sure, there are some extreme reactions from the old pro- fessional order in the shape of slang, bois- terousness and that familiarity which may breed contempt, but such examples arc not typical, but exceptional. tian Register.

RAILROAD RACKET.

Although 1t is a little early local passen- ger agents here are working up business for tlIe Southern BaptisL convention, which is to be held in Washington during the month of May.
 There are great many Baptists in this section, and the number of yearly attend- ants from Bir mingham alone is quite large.
 Already the Queen and Crescent has made arrangements to accommodate the heavy travel, andswill run tvo vestibnled trains through from Birmingham to Wash ington without change.
 MT. McGregor, the local travelling pas- senger agent of the Queen and Crescent, concerning this travel sad to an AGE HERALD reporter yesterday: '"We expect to do the business out of Birmingham to Washington and propose to give the Zap. lists the best known railroad accommoda- tion. In view of this we will have two vesti buled trains, with dining cars at- tached via Cinciunati through to the na- tiopal capital without single change. am Baptist myself, and we Baptisrs will go over tho Queen aud Crescent"
 TEXAS EXCURSION.
 On February 12, March and April 2 the Queen and Crescent will run excursions to points In Texas and Arkansas on the re- ducsd rate plan.
 The rates will be one fare for the round trip, plus S2, with return limit of tweoty days, giving travellers ample time to get a glimpse of the Lone Star State or to see friends who have gone before.
 TRAINS DELAYED. Nearly every train from the northarrived in the city late yesterday afternoon and iast night. Some of them came in only an hour behind their schedule time, while others were as much eH three hours late. The de- lay was caused in nearly all cases by the weather, which has greatly impeded rail- road traffic in almost every conceivable manner.

MT. Edward Terry, the popular actor, once engaged young woman from tho workhouse as domestic servant. She turned out badly, and after few days Mrs. Terry told her husband that the girl would not suit her at all Be patient. Give her longer trial" said the actor But it availed nothing. He told tho girl that she would havo to go back to the workhouse if she did not reform

ORIGIN OF NAVAL TITLES.
Borrowed Military Terms From the Arabic
 the Spanish and tho Portuguese.

the Spanish and the Portuguese.
 In the early days the rank of admiral was unknown. The chief officer of squadron was called constable or justice. Tho term admiral as now used is derived from the Arabio "amir," or "emir," commander Gas in "amir-al lbahr," com mander of the seal. The early English form was "amiral' and is still preserved as such by the French. The Spanish and Portuguese forms are "almirante," the Italian ''ammiraglio." The title captain is not naval but military one. Under the older organization the real captain of a ship was Q nlaster but military officer was placed on board, though he knew nothing about nautical affairs. As the captain became bigger and bigger the mas- ter became smaller and smaller until at the present day he fills subordinate posi- tion, which is gradually becoming obso. lete, being replaced by an officer under the title of a navigating lieutenant.
 Commodore comes from the Spanish recommendation. " The title lieutenant, borrowed directly from the French, is more modern and is meant as place hold er or onelwho took the place of tho cap tain when absent Sublieutenant is still more modern and at the same time mis- homer, as he never was a sublieutenant, but merely mate, or one who assisted. In former days VIC had no cadets, but vol unteers. However, with the gradual ad- vance of politeness, the more seemly term of cadets was borrowed from the French and adopted as the title of the young gen. tlemen in our navy.
 In place of paymasters the ships of old had pursers, who looked after the provi- sions. The naval purser did more. He had charge of the stores of tho ship and the money chest Surgeons and surgeons mates fulfilled the duties of the doctors Chaplains are of modern introduction. Naval instructors and schoolmasters ruled in their stead Tho term mate was rather universal ono and applied to all branches Brooklyn Citizen.
