She rinsed them well In the fresh morning

And for indigo used bit OF blue sky;
Then, on q cobweb for clothes-line, they

Sulphur Rains.

Strange stories are sometimes told
of wonderful things that have fallen
in rain storms. Occasionally it is frogs,
again it is splashes of blood, or some
mineral, such as sulphur. Frequent
ly there is foundation for these stor-
les, and investigation furnishes an ex-
PLANTATION of the phenomena. At Bor-
deaux, for many years, in April and
May, so called rains of sulphur" have
been noticed, when the earth becomes
spotted with what seems to be patches
of sulphur brought down by the rain.
This phenomenon was recently the
subject of scientific investigation, and
it was shown that the supposed sui
phur was really the yellow pollen of a
species of pine, large forests of which
exist south and southwest of Bordeaux.
The rains referred to occur at the time
of the towering of the pines, the mol
len of which must be carried to a great
height in the air.

Is Sadly Degenerated.
Instead Of a master hand Baireuth
had to put UP with Master Siegfried
Wagner's hand (he now uses the right)
and in the worst moments we have
wished there was no hand at all. and
in the best we have longed passionately
for another, says the Saturday Review.

cannot criticise such conducting; it
does not rise near enough to compe-
tence to be worthy of criticism. But
one has right to ask why this young
man, who should be serving an ap-
premiership in some obscure opera
house, Is palmed off on the public as
"the best artist procurable.' He scarce
ly seems to possess ordinary intelli-
gence. l had the honor of being mad
vertently presented to him, and he
asked me, should l write anything
about Baireuth, to say that he object
ed very much to the Englishmen who
came in knickerbockers-in bicycle CO.'S
tune. When I mildly suggested that
if they came without knickerbockers or
the customary alternative he would
have better reason to complain, he as
serted that he and bis family had a
great respect for the theater, and 1t
shocked them to find so many English
men who did not respect it. mention
this because it shows clearly the spirit
in which Baireuth is now being worked.

A MISSIONARY MEDICINE.

Cleanliness begins within. If a man isn't
clean inside, he is far from Godliness. A
constt.pated sinner is a stencil in the nostrils
of the Deity. A man whose food sours in
his stomach, and whose liver is leaden,
can't help looking at the world hatefully
with jaundiced eye, and conjuring up evil
thoughts in his tortured brain. Cleanli-
ness Of person begets cleanliness of thought.

sionary medicine which purifes mems

for his fellows and recommends Others to

that institution, together with certificate
of good moral character from some
lawyer, is sufficient for admission to
any bar in the state without examina-
ton. Upon the certificate of a colored
lawyer of standing, Judge L. p Cooper
of Memphis, without other formality,
ordered the clerk of his court to enroll
Miss Lyttle as a member of the Shelby

intention of practicing law in Tennes-

sion in that state as a stepping stone
to entering active work in her profess

JAPANS GREAT ENTERPRISE N
AMERICA.
LARGE APPROPRIATION BY I'M
pERIAL DIET.
60 INFORM AMERICANS HOW TO
MAKE TEA.

Several months ago. the Japanese
Tea Guild sent to this country special
commission. composed OF Mr.. S. Nit
suhashi, president of shizuoka Prefec-
tural Assembly, and Mr.. J. Ohara, men,
Der Of Japanese parliament, to investi-
gate the condition Of the Japanese tea
trade in the United States and Canada.
and to Cooperate with Mr.. T. Furuya
and Mr.. T. Mzutany, the American
representatives Of the Japanese Tea
Guild, in giving publicity to the merits
of Japanese teas and the method of
preparing them for drinking which
would insure the best results.
Mr. Furuya and Mr.. Mizutany are
planning to open tea bazars in many of
the principal cities in the United
States and Canada, where ladies can
enjoy cup of fine Japanese tea made
by experts, and at the same time re-
ceive instructions which will enable
them to make it equally we'll at home.
More than half the tea consumed in
the United States and Canada is of
Japanese growth, yet, the majority of
Americans apparently do not under
stand how to prepare it SO as to de-
velop the delicious qualities which it
contains. 1t is believed by these gen.
tlemen that when Americans are in
possession of the secret Of making good
tea, tho consumption in this country
will fully equal that of Europe in pro-
portion. The Japanese government
has appropriated large fund to aid
the Japanese tea growers and tea mer-
chants in prosecuting this educational
work, and 1t Is hoped that American
ladies will be apt students. The main
bureau OF the Japanese Tea Guild has
issued an official recipe for making jap
anese tea, the translation OF which Is
as follows:
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 2 to minutes. Never boil
the leaves. In order to retain the nat
ural flavor, Japanese tea leaves should
be kept in tight can or jar, free from
moisture.
Note.-To thoroughly enjoy the nat
ural, delicate, and sweet flavor OF jap
anese teas, neither sugar nor cream
should be used.
