How He Revenged Himself.

A capital story is told by well
known bishop concerning the squire Of
a parish of which he was formerly vicar.
This gentleman had rooted objection
to his pew being invaded, and upon one
occasion, at the conclusion of service.
he came to the vicar with bitter COM
plant against a stranger who, unlimited,
had ventured to intrude into the pew,
which was a large, old fashioned, square
structure, capable: Of holding nine they
two, the squire and the intruding visit
or, being the only occupants.
II would not, : added the squire,
disturb divine service BY putting him
out violently The only thing could
do with propriety was to sit on his hat. =

PORTUGUESE IN SOUTH AFRICA.
They Have Done Nothing to Explore OF
Develop the Country. ~

They Have Done Nothing to Explore or
Develop the Country. .<
In the early years Of the sixteenth cen
fury, long before the first Dutch fort
was erected at Cape Town, Portugal had
planted her settlers at various points
along the east coast, from Delagoa bay
to the Zambezi and Mozambique. They
did some trading in gold and ivory with
the interior, and they assembled the
Zambezi for several hundred miles. But
the pestilential strip of fiat ground which
lay between the coast and the plateau
dampened their desires and threw OBJ
stacles in the way of their advance
They did little to explore and nothing to
civilize the interior. :.
Three centuries passed, during which
our knowledge of south central Africa
was scarcely extended, and it was not
till some 60 years ago that the Dutch
Beers in their slow wagons passed
northeastward from Cape Colony to the
spots where Bloemfontein and Pretoria
now stand; not till 1886 that David
Livingstone made his way through Bech-
uanaland to the Victoria falls of the
Zambezi and to the Atlantic coast at
Loanda; not till 1889 that the vast ter
ritories which lie between the Trans
vaal republic and Lake Tanganyika be-
gan to be occupied by the Mashonaland
pioneers. All these farmers, explorers
and mining prospectors came up over
the high plateau from the extreme south
ernmost end Of Africa, checked from
time to time by the warlike native
tribes, but drawn on by finding every
where a country in which Europeans
could live and thrive, while the Portu-
guese, having long since lost the i'm
pulse Of discovery and conquest, did no
more than maintain their hold upon the
coast, and allowed even the few forts
they had established along the course of
the Zambezi to crumble away. Pro

BEAUTIFUL JAVA.

Its Scenery Said to Be an Example OF
Topical Perfection.
The scenery of Java is, think, trop-
ical perfection. No sameness in the
landscape wearies the eye. All is valley
and mountain, cultivated with beauti-
full crops-irrigated ricefelds, emerald
green stretches Of tall, waving maize,
small thickets of bamboos, gracefully
bending to the breeze-or covered with
a tropical verdure only equaled in beau
ty by the forests Of South America. Be-
ing only midday when we arrived at
Tassikmalaya, we ordered tiffin and two
carts to be ready an hour later to take
US on rs mile stage to Bandjar. So at
O'Clock we were once more en- route in
the usual conveyances Of small awning
covered carts-each drawn by three
ponies-one for ourselves and the other
for the baggage. For the first few hours
we passed frequently through small vii
lagos, where the ponies were watered,
and our drivers chatted with the fruit
Sellers and smoked small tapering Gig
arettes, which they bought for quarter
penny the packet.
The last part Of the journey was
through tall jungle, and as the sun had
set some two hours before our arrival
at our destination, it was no easy mat
ter for the drivers to keep the road in
the iDky darkness. Finally a long, steep
hill took us down from the comparative
GOODNESS Of a high altitude into the
fetid swamps where lies the town of
Bandjar. AT first sight you would think
these swamps inhabited, in such myriads
do the firefies fit to and fro, or hang
motionless, lamplike, in the misty air,
giving one the idea of the lights of
some distant village. All the natives
here, as elsewhere in the island, hold
the white man in great awe, and as
you pass along all dof their huge brim-
med hats, and some kneel by the way
side. In such towns in the interior as
Bandjar there are no hotels, but the
Dutch government provides free stop
ping houses for travellers dirty, tumble
down places for the most part-whefe a
caretaker will look after them for
consideration. - - Westminster Re-

A Baltimore Carriers Stamn.

DR.. John Morris Of this city has in
his possession a stamp which was issued
by the carriers of Baltimore antecedent
to the inauguration of the free delivery
system. Dr.. Morris was postmaster of
Baltimore from 1867 to 1861, and it
was during his administration that the
carriers stamp was employed here. It
is l cent stamp.
The stamp was issued by the carriers
tor their own convenience. The system
obtaining at that time, by which they
collected the cost Of postage from patrons
of the postal service to whom letters
were delivered, was troublesome to the
carriers, and in order to save themselves
the inconvenience, the carriers institut-
ed this stamp. 1t was continued until
the act Of congress was passed establish
ing free delivery. The stamp is a great
rarity, very few Of them being in exist
ence.-Baltimore American.

EFFECT OF TEA CIGARETTES


l.
Ihey G1ss One q Sen I'm II rhis :.
IN ths Hsad.
Onem the most r.iioua and danger
Gus OF new fashions is the tea cigarette.
That this i. no empty, baseless story Of
9 new craze is shown BY the application
made last week to the commissioned
INTERNAL revenue at Washington for per-
mission to mannfa tnre tea cigarettes In
Michigan The appli cant was told that
to engage in such manufacture he must
comply with the law governing the
manufacturing Of tobacco cigarettes, tea
being q substitute for tobacco; that he
must register, give bond and So on, and
that the cigarettes, when made, must be
packed, stamped, branded and labeled,
exactly as the tobacco cigarettes, before
the government would sanction their re-
moval from the factory for sale.
Several descriptions Of the tea ciga-
rette have been printed, but these have
erred in the pres,ul5tt ion t,.a.tt the tea
was taken as ssld, rolled up IN a paper
and smoked. This would be practically
impossible, as the sharp edges Of the tea
would cut the paper in ali directions,
spoil the draft and render the cigarettes
unsmokable. !s+ &.
To make the tea cigarette one takes
grade Of green tea which has but little
dust, being composed of unbroken leaf,
and dampens it carefully, just enough to
permit the leaves to be unrolled with
out being broken, and so as to be left
pliable and capable of being stuffed in
the paper cylinder, while the dampness
is not sufficient to stain the paper. The
cigarettes are laid aside for few days
and are then ready to be smoked.
The feeling Of tea cigarette in the
! mouth is peculiar. The taste is not so
disagreeable as might be supposed, but
the effect on the tyro is sense Of thick
ening in the head and disposition to
take hold Of something or sit down. If
the beginner quits them, that settles it,
he will not try tea cigarettes again. If,
however, the smoker sits down and tries
second cigarette, inhaling it deeply,
then the thickening feeling passes and
is succeeded by one CT intense exhilara-
ton. The nerves are stimulated until
the smoker feels like flying, skirt dane
ing or doing something else entirely out
of the common way. This stage lasts as
long as the smoke continues, which is
until the reaction of the stomach sets in.
Words cannot describe the final effects
OF the tea cigarette. The agony of the
opium fend is a shadow to that of the
nauseated victim of the tea cigarette. 1t
will be hours before food can be looked
at, yet the first step toward a cure is a
cup Of tea. An hour afterward comes
the craving for the tea cigarette Gin

.DoTTlE,s GARDEN.

I'm glad that springtime's coming
When the days are warm,
When the winter time is over
With its snow and storm,
Cause papa has promised
That he will make for me
The cutest little garden
That ever you did see.
And when papa has made it
I'll give it lots Of care
And raise the mostest flowers
And give them everywhere.
I'll send you all a violet,
"A pansy and q rose,
And buttercup and daisy
And every kind that grows.
And we must plant some other things,
The kind that's good to eat,
So we can help the poor folks
Who live on our back street.
And when my garden s finished
You all must come and see
It growing in the little box
Papa has made for me.

tiOn announces to the public that
while the celebration of the States
centennial will take place on June |.
1896, the Exposition will open Nav /,

This has beeu determined after
thoroughly considering the question i'm

hibltors for AL exhibition to continue
more than 100 days, as well as the
many expressed desires that we have
had from people who will compose the
attendance, that the Exposition be
held In the spriug and summer, have
Deen the most potent factors in reach
ing this conclusion.

proportions that provision could not be
made To accommodate all who desired
TO take part Ill the celebration of Ten
nesset' 5 Centennial in the short time

The train which carried them also
took ten dogs, consignment of old

The ceremony of departure was pre-
coded by a series of ceremonies at the
colared Methodist church, where Rev.
Sasgs spoke few words OF hope and
encouragement to The emigrants. He
was followed by several other speakers
IN sixminutes talks, and, upon the
whole, this occasion was a most inter

Short Talks on Advertising.

People generally read advertisements
more than they did few years ago.
The reason is to be found in the ad-
vertisements themselves.
Advertisers are more careful than
they used to be. They make the adj
vertlsements more readable. Some Of
them even become in way de-
partment of the people, and people look
for them every day with as much Zest
and pleasure as they turn to any other
feature.
This is true of many department
stores all over the country. In many
cities there is just one man who APP
preciates the value of such interest.
He breaks away from the old set
style. He tells something interesting
in his space every day.
There are lots of interesting things
in business Look over the INSECT
lany page of any paper look at its
local news columns, and its telegraph
news, for that matter, and you'll see
that the majority of the items are
more or less closely related to some
business fact.
Dress these facts up In becoming
garb of words; and they will find
readers even though they be in a
mere advertisement"
Let the merchant come down off his
pedestal and talk in his ads. He
needn't be flippant-far from it, but let
him not write as if he were addressing
