The First Teacups.

Even after tea was introduced into
Europe and had come into general use
teacups were scarce. At the same time
coffee was introduced, but apart from
Constantinople the first coffee cups in
Europe date back only as far as 1915 in
Venice, 1869 in Paris, 1862 in London
and 1904 in Leipsic. From the first,
however, the conventional oriental cof-
fee cup, without stem or handle, was
little used, and in Germany not at all.
The Chinese teacup was used for tea,
coffee and chocolate as we'll. Specimens
of porcelain were undoubtedly intro
duced into Europe III the middle ages,
yet not till the sixteenth century were
cups imported from China in any great
quantities, and even then it was as ar
ticles Of vertu. Most of these found
their way back to China again, as COL
lecting porcelain is a lasting fad there,
and high prices are paid for good spec
linens. The collection Of Chinese porce-
lain, if only the genuine specimens are
desired, requires immense study and
knowledge, as the Chinese are skillful
imitators and put numerous falsifica-
tions on the market. Jewellers Circu-

A Cheap Hair Cut.

There is in New York city a little
German barber shop the proprietor of
which has a grievance against the Irish
race that will not be wiped out for
some time. One evening in his hearty
German way he welcomed a customer,
a burly son of Ireland, with an emo
nous shock of hair. who roughly cried:
"Oi want a hair cut. Do yez moind9:'
"Yah, von hair cut nit der head?'
"Yis, that's it, wan hair cut" And
with yawn the Celtic gentleman threw
himself i'll the chair.
While the barber was preparing his
scissors the .Irishman nodded a few
times and in a short while had appar-
emily dropped into a doze. The barber
went industriously to work, and the
locks fell with every clip Of the scissors.
Meanwhile the Irishman slept on. At
last the hair was cut and brushed, and
the barber exclaimed:
ZACH, dat is goot. You looks joost
like Won gentleman"
With a start the man Of Ireland awoke
and gave a glance III the mirror.
Say, Germany, did Oh ask yez to
cut my hair:'
yah, dots vot / do"
whats that? Did Oh say Oh wanted
my hair cut? Did OH"
"Yah, yah! Dots right"
With a rush the Irishman grabbed him
by the collar.
"Look here, Germany. Oh said Oh
wanted a hair cut. That's one hair-do
yez hear?-the long wan that was hang
in in front. For what do yez want to
be cuttin all Of thin? Oil have the
law on yez at once fer that And with
a wrathful countenance he slapped on
his hat and left the place before the as
tonished barber could recover from his
fright.
When the rollicking Irish wit turned
the corner. he was heard to remark,
Faith, that's a chape way to git a
hair cut. '-Harper's Round Table.

Alabama when Mr.. H. NJ. Conner, president,
and Mr.. John M. Eagan, .viee-president of

a few days since to look and be satisfied
that this section is worthy of one railroad

from Troy to Elba over the right of way
which was secured by the old Central Of
Georgia railroad some twenty years ago.
Reaching Elba they at once investigated
the water power of the three streams con-
verging here and were pleased. The vast
forests of pine and hardwood timber were
particularly enquired about and they were
given the facts appertaining to this coun-
try. Messrs. Conner and Eagan left Eliza

largely be drawn from territory hereto

How shall we interest the masses in
sustaining the Orphans Home? How
may the people be moved to do their duty
towards this long desired and much needed
institution?
In the first place, it will be well to show
that it is their duty to render the needed
support. It must be impressed upon the
people, in season and out of season, why
they should give to the Orphanage
That it is a work for humanity is a rea-
son broad enough to include all. No man
liveth to himself, nor should any attempt
so to do. Each of us is his brothers keep
er, and in the end account surely will be
required of every lost opportunity for help
ing others. While we cannot assist every
good cause, we are obligated to aid, as
far as we are able, those who appeal to
us at our very doors.
This struggling home is our neighbor in
distress. Shall we be the good Samaritan
or the Levite in the treatment We offer?
Special stress should be laid upon the
fact that this is work in behalf of
childhood. The helplessness and the inno-
cence of infancy touch chords of tender
ness in every heart. About our city
streets are homeless little ones, but a few
years removed from infancy, yet, fast los
ing the innocence of that period Remove
them now from their degrading surround
ings and they may be saved. Think what
it means to save one human soul, what
rejoicings in heaven, what future good
secured, perchance, to earth. For who
can tell what possibilities may be wrapped
up in any child? Any dirty little street
urchin may be some mute, inglorious Mil
ton" who under kindly influences might
awaken into song.
The friends of the Orphanage in their
efforts to secure patronage for the institu-
ton will succeed in proportion as they in
culcate gerater reverence for childhood
and for the embryo human life. We
must make crusade in behalf Of the
children. We hear of womens rights,
the rights of the laborng man, the rights
of the negro, but who ever hears of the
children's rights? Many people act on
the assumption that children have no
rights which adults are bound to respect.
The child comes into the world without
volition of its own, fact that ought to
win for it tenfold more consideration than
If it had a voice in the matter.

would make Eliza even a greater trading
center than 1t is now destined to be with

road, and the additional revenue these
commodities would contribute to the main
lines of the systems would enhance its
value still further.
