JAPAN'S GREAT ENTERPRISE IN

LARGE APPROPRIATION BY lM-

To Inform Americans How to Make

Several months ago, the japanese Tea

mission, composed of Mr.. S. Mitsuha shi,
President of the Shizuoka Prefectural AS

Mr.. Furuya and Mr.. MiZutany are PLAN

the same time receive instructions whica

ernment has appropriated large fund to-
aid the japanese Tea growers and Tea
merchants in prosecuting this educational
work, and it is hoped that American n

an official recipe for making japanese
Tea, the translation of which is as fol-
lows:
First-Use small, dry and thorough
ly clean porcelain teapot.
Second-Put in one teaspoonful of tea
leaves for each cup Of tea desired.
Third-When using Japanese teas, pour
on the required quantity of fresh boiled
water, and let stand with closed lid from
two to three minutes. Never boil the
leaves. In order to retain the natural ia
vor, japanese tea leaves should be kept
in tight can or jar, free from moisture
Note.-To thoroughly enjoy the natural,
delicate and sweet flavor of Japanese
Teas, neither sugar nor cream should be
used.

Look carefully to it that you take sufi-

The Americans do not use enough oil
to keep them in perfect health While
butter is served in some families three
times a day, and is better than no fat,
its composition is rather against it as

Madison, Wis. Nov. 6.-[SpeciaLl J.
Reports of trouble at the State Insane
hospital at Mendoza have been in circu-

shows they are much exaggerated. The
only outcome thus far is the suspension
of DR.. George Post, one of the assistant
physicians, whose final resignation is ex-
pected by the board of control Monday.
A member of the board said this after
noon that the charge made against DIR.
Post by Supt. Lyman is disobedience of

Preceding his supension by a few days,
came the resignation of Mrs. Louis Keys,
who had been in charge of the reception

Leon Gllkey OF Green Bay will Accom-
pany the Train from Chicago.
Green Bay, Wis, Nov. S:-[Special. /
Leon Gilkey Of this city has gone to Chi
patent steam sleds from Chicago, where
the train is being built, to Alaska. The
train belongs to an organization known
as the Alaska company, with headquar-
tiers in Chicago. It is capitalized at
S5.0O0,00O. The officers are c. L. Ken
dali, president; A. ]: Auburt, yice-presi,,
dent; Edgar B. Giles, secretary, and
Gilkey of this city is one of the nine
directors.
1t will probably be nearly a month be-
fore the train is ready for shipment. The
apparatus was patented several years ago
by James T. Commit, then of Oconto, and
was designed for use in the northern lum-
bering woods, but has never been practl-
cally applied, He has now sold the pat
ent to the Alaska company. The engine
being built has two toothed driving
wheels s feet in diameter and inches
wide, weighing 10000 pounds each, and
the steering gear is attached to the for
ward sleds The fuel is to be supplied
by the timber growing along the route.
The freight cars attached are supposed
70 carry 10000 pounds each and the pas
Scnger cars fifty persons each, the whole
train to be mounted OH runners.
The route on which it is designed to
run the train is from Dawson City to St.
Michaels via the Yukon river, a distance
Of 1885 miles, and should it prove to be
successful other trains will be put on
other routes. Among the directors are
several Wcll-knOWn men along the Green

RELATIVE OF MRS. WASHINGTON.
Direct Descendant of Nellie Custis a Nun
In New York


in New York.
One may Judge that Martha Washing
ton was, to some extent. aware of what
the readers Of her published letters have
dlscovered-that she was lady, not
only by birth, but Shy want Of educa-
ton" That she was not proud of this
latter distinction becomes evident in one
of those queerly spelled epistles in which
she cOngratulates herself ON the good
schooling she has been able to procure
for her granddaughter and adopted child
Nellie GUSTS. Let us hope that the lat
ter made such good use of her Webster's
spelling book, then a recent publication,
that in her bi}lets dOuX to Lawrence
Lewis she did not assert American iber-
ty in photographed matters.
Her daughter, Evelyn Lewis, is well
remembered by many not yet arrived at
middle age as one of the lOyeliest and
sweetest of old gentlewomen. Her hus-
band, Col. Edward Butler, did not prop
erly appreciate his wife's distinguished
descent, considering his own very much
better, inasmuch as he came of an Irish
family that boosted tie Duke of Ormond
among its members. 1t is said that the
command of the Confederate army was
rendered to Col. Butler at the beginning
of the war between the states, but he
preferred to rest on the laurels he had
won in Mexico, and so remained in the
retirement of plantation life in Lower
Louisiana.
His oldest daughter, Isabel Butler,
married Col. Williamson, a rather prom
inent politician in Louisiana. and their
daughters were educated in a convent
school in Guatemala, where Col. William
son was acting as United States minister
to Central America. Two of these daugh-
tiers there became Roman Catholics, re-
nouncing the Episcopal faith, which had
been the family heritage since George
Washington occupied the roomy pew I'M
der the gallery of old st. Paul,'s in this
city.
When, some years later, the elder of
these ladies was, in the old phrase,
crossed in love, she retired to a convent
in Tennessee and took the veil, being
known afterward only as Sister Philo-
mena She is now an inmate of the large
Catholic educational institute in this city.
She certainly appears cheerful and con
tented. and on being reminded at the
time Of the Washington centennial that
she was probably the only direct descend
ant of Martha Washington in this city,
she listened without interest, replying
that aristocratic lineage could be nothing
to one who had taken the VOW of humil-
! ity and assumed the garb of a num-

were two justices less than before elect
