Let us now look for moment into

pair of unpopular reigns, which, al
though brief, were yet long enough.
Queen Emma, of course, desired the
coronation OF Hardicanute, but, though
supported by Earl Goodwin, a man Of
great influence and educated to a high
degree for his time, able indeed, it is
said, at a moments notice, to add up
things and reduce things to common
denomination, it could not be.
Herold, the compromise candidate,
reigned from 1887 to 1910. He gained
Goodwin to his side, and together they
lured the sons Of Emma by Ethelred-
viz, Alfred and Edwsrd-to town, and,
as a sort Of royal practical joke, put out
Alfred's eyes, causing his death.
Harold was swift sprinter, and was
called barefoot" by those who were
intimate enough to exchange calls and
coarse anecdotes with him.
Queen Emma, the widow of Ethelred,
now began to set her cap for Canute,
and thus it happened that her sons
again became the heirs to the throne at
her marriage, A. d. 1017.
Canute now became a good king. He
built churches and monasteries, and
even went on a pilgrimage to Rome,
which in those days was almost certain

Tea Pickers Live on Restricted Diet to
Protect the Delicate Flavor.
From the Chicago Inter-Oeean.
The Chinese tea plant is pretty ever
green from three to seven feet in height,
covered in the winter months with fra
grant white or yellowish blossoms, re-
e nbling those of the orange or black
berry. The first crop of tender unex-
banded leaf buds is gathered in May and
june and is the finest quality, being res
served for the use of the mandarins and
other individuals of authority, and SELL
ing at So pound.
They are gathered by hand with the
greatest care, and often with rough sort
of glove; while the pickers are forbidden
to partake of any fish or strong-smelling
substance, for fear of affecting the deli
cate flavor Much depends also upon
the exact time of picking, as delay of
even twenty-four hours may produce an
in 'erior grade of tea. No less than five
successive immersiors can be made from
these leaves, while the other crops sup
ply but one or two.
The second and principal harvest is in
early summer, the tea selling at $3.50 a
pound, and the third and last crop is
gathered in the autumn. This is what is
usually exported; so that unless deal
ing with we'll known tea houses, we sell
dom obtain the choicest brands.
Green tea is made by roasting the leaves
over hot fires Immediately after picking,
but those intended for black tea are al
lowed to wilt and fermtnt for several
days in the open air till they turn red,
when they are fired over furnaces of
burning charcoal.
The Hysons are most generally used Of
the green teas; and, like other brands of
their class. are often stained by the Chi
nese with various mineral dyes, such as
indigo and gypsum. All but the best
teas are also subject to adulteration from

The greatest tea drinkers are SAID TO
be the Australians, and after chem the

much tea as coffee, while the people OF

AMERICAN INDIANS.
Some Interesting Staticstics About the Red
Man.

Man.
OF The Indians in the United States
there are altogether about 250,0 900. One
eighth of these have taken up lands in
seYeralty, and are endeavoring to live
like white men, although it is up hill
work. The main obstacles in the way
are two-irst, the difficulty of training
the male Indians to habits of regular
work; second, the knaverY of the white
man, who cheats him out of all the best
lands. If the white man cannot get the
Indians lands any other way he marriCs
squaw and spends most of his time
among the tribe. Then, by hook and
crook, he gets the best of everything.
There are still $4,000 pure blood red
men in Indian Territory. They comprise
what is left of the five civilized tribes, SO
called But the .''squaw man." as the
whites married to Indian women are
called, being members o: the tribe b !
adoption, monopolize for themselves an
their half breed children the fat land 5
and the fat offices, and the red man is
crowded out. The squaw men and their
descendants number 10000. While there
are only $4,000 full booded Indians
among the tribes, there are today in the
territory 300, 900 white people who have
leased or otherwise got the lands and
obtaineds foothold. Even thel strong
hand of the government cannot protect
Indians rights when they fool these
away themselves.

That resolu ton was passed, Mr.
Speaker, at time when silver was de-
monetized by the act of 1878, and there
has never been doubt from that day to
this that our bonds and Obligations could
be legally, honestly and honorably dis
charged in either gold or silver of the

Chow are you today, Mary?"

= now dre you Coudy, MARY!
"Ah, me 'addie, lis that you? am very
well. How's YOURSELF"
''I'm all right. It's getting late Mary,
and you had better come along now.
You've had a good time and you need
rest.''
"All right, me boy, but as Pm tired
send for me coach and four"
This means that Mary wants the pat
rol wagon and there is no use trying to
argue her out of it. She enjoys the wild
dash of the horses and the changing of
the bell, and when she steps into the
wagon she always waves her hat to the
crowd as she is driven off to the station
house.
When she consents to walk to the lock"
up she always leans on the arm of her
policeman escort. A policeman who
would refuse her this courtesy would
stand in immediate danger of sound
thrashing. Mary will never submit to
arrest by an officer in citizens clothes.
A policeman who knew her we'll and had
taken her in score Of times once met
her while returning to duty from leave
of absence. He was in citizens dress
and although Mary recognized him, she
said:
"Go home and take off your black cpat
and them dude pants. Put on your blue
coat with the brass buttons and the blue
pants with the white stripes and the
shield and the helmet and the club, and
then when you come back here dressed
like gentleman, I'll go along
The crowd laughed and the officer be-
came ratified. He started in to force
Mary to 60 along and the next instant
he was in the center of cyclone which
almost swept his clothes from his back
in a single blast Mary made record
for herself then and there. The oppor-
tune arrival of uniformed policeman
settled the rumpus and Mary walked of
to the station house, leaning on the arm
and as proud as peacock.

Some time ago, when it was announced
that Jane was about to begin her 28tf

Orient today, brought some details of

interior until reinfOrcements arrive.
lest the native troops should rebel.
Chinese immigrants have suffered
heavy loss both of life and property.
Some $50 prisoners were imprisoned by
the Spaniards in a BLACK hole and
fifty died in one night.
Already the natural instinct of the
native soldiers has been significantly
shown. One day a regiment Of the ma
tives was paraded. They were asked
if they would fight for the Spanish
government, and their ready reply was
that they would. but that they would
Certainly not kill one of their fellow
countrymen. On another occasion, a
Spanish captain and a half dozen ma
tive soldiers were turned out to quell
disturbance. Five of the natives
were killed, and the sixth then turned
around, stabbed his officer TO death
and Joined the rebel forces. The
tinidity of the Spanish officers to enter
Cavite under these circumstances caves
the rebel forces splendid opportunity
to gather in large numbers in the
province, and to get fomidably armed
and thoroughly organized. When all
was in readiness for an attack, they
swooped down upon the convent at
linus, few miles from the town OF
Cavite, and murdred all the friars who
could not manage to escape, but how
many were put to death is not known.
The government still refrained from
sending troops into the province, but
four Spanish men-of-war bombarded
linus and other places where the move
ment of rebel forces could be detected,
for several DAYS, and the bornbardment
was still going on at the date of last
advices 1t does not appear, however,
to have done very much damage, as the
shells fell short and the rebels con-
4 tinued to hold their positions.
1t is believed that the whole of the
province is in the hands of the rebels,
and each days delay in dispatching
| troops there means so much loss of
power to the Spaniards, and an in
estiInable gain of power to the rebels,
as the forces of the rebels are GER

they will be able to save an immense
amount of money by providing sani-
tariums for those of their patrons who
are affected with tuberculosis, instead
of allowing the disease to proceed I'M

death. The sanitarium will fulfill the
medical anC surgical IDEAL Every
method known to science and art will
be employed, and every theory adj
vanced by the great scientists of the
world to check the invasion of the
dread disease will be promptly tried,
so that hereafter the consumptive who
is fortunate enough to hold a policy
in one of the companies connected
with the sanitarium may feel conf
dent that he will be enabled to live as
long as there is any human way of
keeping the breath of life in his body.
To those knowing little of the subject
it might appear that the taking of
the risks on tuberculosis cases would
inevitably result in great loss But at
present many persons in the incipient
stages of consumption are insured
every year, for it is difficult for the ex-
aiming physician to detect the earlier
stages of the disease where the symp-
toms are carefully hidden, as is apt to
