TO ADVANCE RECIPROCITY.

The President Names a Special Commits
siOner In the Person of John A. Kasson.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The president
has decided to appoint special COM
missioner with plenary powers to carry
into effect the reciprocity provisions
of sections and A of the tariff act, APP
proved July "a, 1897. 1t was found
upon making an investigation of the
matter that the regular force of the
department of state is at present so
overcrowded with pressing business
that serious delay in carrying out the
expressed wish of congress would in
evitably follow if, in addition to the
usual routine work of the department,
its officers were required to perform
the special examinations and negotia-
tions essential to carry forward the
will of congress as expressed in the
sections referred to. Moreover, the
pressure for early and consistent ac-
ton in the arrangement of measures
of reciprocity has been very great,
from foreign countries as well as from
our own citizens.
The interest of the president in
reciprocity is especially keen, and dur
ing his connection with the tariff
legislation of 1890, while chairman of
the committee on ways and means of
the house, the inclusion in that law of
reciprocity provision was conclusive
of his determination to foster and
promote American industry and COM
merce by this means. In view of these
facts, the president has designated
Hon. John A. Kasson, of Iowa, as such
special commissioner, with Mr.. Chap
man Coleman, of Kentucky, as secre-
tary, and Mr.. John Ball Osborne, of
Scranton, as assistant secre tary.

How to Make Tea.

More than half the Tea consumed in the
United States and Canada is Of Japanese
growth, yet, the majority Of Americans APP
parently do not understand how TO prepare
IL 80 as to develop the delicious qualities
which it contains, The japanese Govern.
ment has appropriated a large fund to aid
the japanese Tea growers and Tea mer-
chants in prosecuting this educational work,
and it is hoped that American ladies' will
be apt students. The main Bureau of the
Japanese Tea Guild has issued an official
recipe for making Japanese Tea, the transa'
ton of which is as follows:
First.-Use a small, dry and thoroughly
clean porcelain teapot.
Second,-Put in one teasnoonful of tea
leaves for each cup Of tea desired,
Third.-When using japanese teas, pour
on the required quantity of fresh boiled wa.
ter and let stand with closed lid from
to 8 minutes. Never boil the leaves, In
order to retain the natural flavor, 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.

LOVED THE HIRED MAN.

Wealthy Illinois Girl Defics Her Father
and Marrles Her Hearts Choice.
MAsCoUTAH, ILL.,, Oct. 14-The Shiloh
community, northwest of here, is just
now enjoying sensation, caused by
an elopement with romantic features
Miss Anna Obernhauf was the acknowl-
edged belle of the community.
Besides being exceedingly attract
i've, she is quite wealthy, and
when she fell in love with
farm hand named Ben Love, it caused
a big stir in the rural district. There
was no end of gossip about the love
affair of the heiress and the farm la
borer, and finally the young lady's
father heard of the matter. He prompt
lly went off in a rage, of course, and
commanded his daughter to drop the
young man without ceremony. Instead
of obeying her father, the pretty
but willful young girl took the first OPP
portunity to elope with her lover to
his home in Kentucky, where they
were married. The report from Ken
lucky is that the young man comes of
fine family, and Farmer Obernhauf
has concluded that things are, per-
