thlng which cannot defend except by the
futile excuse that most Englishmen would
make the same mistake. The state in
which my letter was published was that of
Tennessee.
First l spoke of Tennessee as a mid
die state-l did not use the word mid
die in the American sense, but as we I'M
derstand it, as meaning one of the states
in the interior of the continent. With the
Americans II is q southern state, of course.
However, this was not very bad blum
der. l went on, foolishly, to speak of the
happiness to state of having no history.
No history IL now appears that the state
OF Tennessee has rich history of its own
and that l ought, / suppose, to have
known it.
But let us ask each other this ques-
ton. There are 44-or is it 45?--indepcnd-
ent sovereign states; every one of these
states has its own government; its upper
and lower house; every one has its own
history. Many of these states are larger
than the European states. New York Is
as large as France; Texas, say, is as large
as Austria and Germany together. Every
one is n most important individual and
separate state; every one, i say, has its
own history.

The Boston Advertiser lately gave IN
anecdote of Mark Twain which we think
is new. A young woman, totally mex
pcrienced, applied to him for recom-
mendation as lecturer to the lecture
bureau. In reply he said:
First, no occupation without appren-
ticeship
second, no pay to an apprentice.
He advised her to give two years to APP
premiership in occurring before she could
hope 10 be paid living wages.
The editor of New York magazine,
while recounting the experience common
to all editors of the countless manuscripts
sent to him by eager writers who knew
nothing of the author craft, said: "Ihesc

The annoyances to which Tennyson was

had its humorous sidc--for the onlookers.
cit must be confessed, remarks Professor

Tea Drinking.

Tea is an agreeable stimulant, quicken
ing intellectual operations, removing
headache and fatigue and promoting cheer
fulness and sense Of well being. A cup
of tea now and again is most refreshing
and excellent thing, but when 1t Is USED
to excess the digestive and nervous sys-
TENS arc especially affected. There is no
doubt that there are cases of dyspepsia
caused by the inordinate Use of strong tea,
and it is also a matter Of common observa-
ton that sleeplcssness, palpitation OF the
heart and nervous irritability often follow
tho prolonged and excessive use OF this
beverage. People who drink tea to excess
are to be found in all classes OF society,
and the fact should be impressed upon
such persons that tea is not food, and
cannot, therefore, without risk to health,
be substituted for articles Of diet which
form both flesh and bone.-New YORK

CANNED FRUIT AND INDIANS.
A Possible Solution OF the Outbreak Prob
lem Suggested by an Indian Agent.


"About eight years ago was in Kansas
on business for newspaper, said man
who has travelled hither and thither in tho
west for 25 years 81 received message
ordering me to Fort Reno in the Oklaho-
ma country. The message informed me
that there was threatened uprising of
the Cheyennes and Arapahoes in that
country
Il had been in that country before, and
I remembered that had never seen a lazi-
err lot of Indians than the Oklahoma lot.
But had my orders and started. Fort
Reno is about seven miles from Eel Reno,
IA station on the Rock Island road
reached lei Reno early i'm the evening and
rode over to the for6 as rapidly as an Okla
homa horse could be driven. Colonel
Wade, son of old Ben Wade, was command
er of the fort. He received me in his quar-
tiers in anything but military make up
When explained my mission, he laughed
He talked to me until late in the night
and told me that If the white people would
attend TO their business the Indian would
take care of himself. He tC' inc lie would
furnish me with horse and u map, aud
that l might ride over every mile of the
country where he had jurisdiction, and II
l behaved myself he would guarantee
more protection than / could get In any
city in the country.
"The next day i went over to Darling

storehouses and the schools are there.
had q letter To Captain Lee, who was in
charge. He told me that there was no
danger of any uprising In that country
unless the stock Of canned fruits gave out.
In that case he would not stay In the
country
81 learned that the Indians had worked
up an unsatisfied appetite for canned
goods They were content to forego their
chuck, which Is Indian for beef, IL they
could get canned stuff. Nearly every In
dian on the reservation had credit at the
Indian stores This Is not because they
are SO honest that they want to pay, bu
there is no chance for the storckeeper t.
lose. He turns in his bill To the agent
and the amount Is deducted from the mex
payment of land money to the Indian b.
the government.
"A few days before two young buck
who had been students in well know
Indian school i'm the east entered one
the stores and stole six cans Of cherries
They were drunk and refused to pay 10
