The Problem of the Weather.

According to a paper by Mr.. Nc

full if the official weather-forecasters
are today much in advance of their
predecessors of twenty-five years ago.
This means that an extension must

DOMESTIC TEA CULTURE.

furure May Find America q Great
Tea Center.
Most people will be surprised to
learn that tea growing is a successful
industry in this country, and that the
highest prices are being paid for the:
American product Of this popular
beverage, says the Washington Star.
Secretary Wilson of the department Of
agriculture lately requested William
Saunders, the veteran ho%rticulturist Of
his department., to visit a famous tea
farm at Summervlle, S. c., and report
upon what he should see there. Sew
enteen years ago Mr.. Saunders pre-
pared an article on "Tea, Culture as a
Probable American Industry which
quests coming from all parts of the
country as to the status of tea culture
in the United States. For twenty
years previous tea plants had been
annually distributed in varied quanti-
ties, the only purpose at that time be-
ing to encourage the culture of tea
plants for domestic purposes in a linn
tied way. The cost of labor and de-
ficiency of rainfall were the main OBJ
stacles in the way of making tea cul-
ture successful commercially. The tea
farm visited by MI. Saunders is gently
u%ndulating and the soil is mainly a
sandy loan, and he found the farm to
be under perfect cultivation. The la
Dor question had been settled by its
owner by building a school house on
his farm, inviting the people of the

AN EARLY LIQUOR LICENSE
The New Restraining Law Was Indie-
nantly Received.

The New Restraining Law Was 1nd1&~
nantly Received.
The famous "gin law" passed in.
1876, is interesting as the earliest se-
we're blow at liquor dealing nong civ
ilized nations, says the Popular Science
Monthly. It levied a tax of 20 shil--
lings a gallon on spirits and a license
Of ESQ for any one selling or dealing in
it. And, being in advance of public
opinion, it failed much as other, more
stringent, prohibition laws have failed
in our own day. For the cry was at
once raised that it taxed the poor
mans gin and let the rich mans wine
go free. Every wit, every lcaricaturist,
had his fling at it. Ballads were,
hawked round, telling of the approach
ing death of mother gin. The liquor
shops were hung with black and cele-
brated uproariously Nine. Geneva's ly-
ing in state, her funeral, her wake and
SO on. The night before the law went
into effect, so a contemporary journal
says, there was a universal revel all
over the country. Every one drank his
fill and carried home as much gin, be-
sides, as he could pay for. To evade
the law, apothecaries sold it in Walls
and small packages, sometimes colored
and disguised, generally under false,
labels, such as "Colic Water" make.
Shift" Ladies' Delight" There were.
printed directions on some of these
packages-e. e., "Take two or three
spoOnfuls three or four times a day,
or as often as the fit takes you" In-
formers were very prominent and ex-
ceedingly offensive, inventing SHARES
to catch lawbreakers for the sake of
heavy rewards and spying and sneak
ing around in a way particularly dis
tasteful to the English mind. In con
sequence they suffered in their turn.
The mere cry, 'liquor spy" was
enough to raise a mob in the London
streets and the informer was lucky it
he escaped with a sound thrashing and
a ducking in the Thames or the near
est horse pond. Indeed, such an out
cry was made about the matter that
the ministry became very unpopular
! and the law was not enforced after two
or three years and was largely modi'
fed in 1743, aften seven years trial.

How q Horse Starts.

This was the subject Of a recent
communication to the Paris Academy
ST Sciences. Many instantaneous pho
ographs were made Of a horse in the
act Of starting from a position Of rest,
and a careful comparison Of the pic
lures, combined with a study Of the
anatomy Of the animal, led to conclu-
sions which r said to be at variance
with what has hitherto been believed.
1t would appear, from this evidence,
that the forelegs play an important
part in the propulsion Of the animal
from the very beginning OF his motion,
and that the breast muscles, remark
able for their development in the
horse, are essential agents in equine
locomotion.

POPULARITY OF CRICKET.
Englishmen Play 1t from the Cradle to
the Grave.

~ "
the Grave.
OF all the sports cultivated in Eng
land cricket has the fewest characteris-
tic features at the public schools. This:
is not because it is the least popular
of the sports, but because it is most
popular, says Harper's Round Table.
There is no cricket but cricket and all
in fields and parks and byways. AS
you whiz through England On the hys-
terical little railway trains the wayside,
swarms with men, boys and children
in white trousers. 1t is played in the
morning, in the afternoon, and in the
long summer evenings it is often al
most 10 o'clock before the stumps are
draw. It is played from lne cradle to,
the grave. Certainly the best and most:
popular player in England to-day, DR..
w. G. Grace, has a son in the Cam
bridge eleven, and is a grandfather.
And it is recorded that a famous crick-
eter once excused a younger brothers:
lack of skill by saying: HE never had
a chance to learn the game. He was
so i'll that he couldn't begin playing:
until he was 6 years old" If a boy
isn't a past master at cricket before
he goes to school there is little hope
for him.
How much most schoolboys do play
cricket is evident in the time and space
given to the game. At Elton, for in
stance, there are seven separate
grounds, each with a name of it's own.
The most exalted of these is Upper
Club, where the best twenty-five play
ers in the school hold their matches,
and the school eleven plays its home
games. Then there is a Middle Club,
a Lower Club, an Upper s~ix-penny, a
Lower sixpenny, and a lot more.
Every "house," in fact, has it's eleven,
and it's separate field. In all, the Elton
cricket grounds cover forty-two acres
and afford room for almost 500 boys
to play cricket at n time. T.

WORLDS LARGEST FLAG,
The Monster Will Consume 100 Yards
of Bunting. 60

The Monster VIII Consume 100 Yards
of Bunting.
Capt. George c.. Beckley of Honolu-
lu, who arrived here recently to AXE
back the new steamer Helena, lately
launched here, is having the largest
flag made of. which shipping men have
ever heard. 1t will be of the extraor-.
binary width of forty feet and will be
eighty feet long, consuming in all no
less than 700 yards Of bunting, says the
San Francisco Call. This monster flag
is to be raised on the Helena on the
maiden trip of that vessel as she leaves
here for the Hawaiian islands. It is
a Hawaiian flag, Of course, and Jas
such will dwarf every other flag, no
matter Of what nation, that M into
port. When the Helena gets to Homo
lulu the flag will be taken down and
will finally be put o. a gigantic pole,
towering in the air from the heights of
Punchbowl hill. The pole will be $50
feet long. It is to be made of a mons
trous Puget sound fir tree and is now
en- route to the islands. The way Capt.
Beckley happened to get the idea Of
eclipsing the world in the way Of flags
is peculiar. He is a commodore in the
Hawaiian navy. On the eve Of his de-
parture for this country a dinner was
given him by the employees of the com
pany and he received a present Of a
fat purse. Capt. Beckley said, as it
was handed him: ssThe money will be
used in the purchase OF the largest
Hawaiian flag ever seen in Hawaii. It
will be larger than the great flag Of the
American league and will fly from the
foremost Of the Helena from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu. Then it will foat
from a tall pole in my yard.on the
slope of Punchbowl hill. This is why
a heavy manufacturing firm here is
now busy with tie great flag. TT will
be the biggest flag Of which I ever
heard said Capt. Beckley yesterday.
There isn't another n like It il h
world. s
