1t has been found by experiment that
tea retards digestion. An infusion of 1
per cent of tea causes perceptible delay;
per cent infusion will delay the diges-
ton sometimes as much as twelve times
the normal period; a 10 per cent decoction
arrests the digestion of all starchy foods.
The New York Times very properly
calls attention to the fact that the phrase
white squadron" has lost its definite
meaning. When the Chicago, Atlanta,
Boston and New York made their first
trip to Europe they were squadron, they
were white, and no other warships We're
of that color. Therefore, to call them
the white squadron meant something.
Since that day all of Uncle Sans new
ships have been painted white. Hence:
we no longer have 'white squadron;
we now have stMhite navy"

Treaties of Postal Con gress.

Washington, May 10.-There were two
ments Of the universal postal congress.
The first was the positive announce
ment from the Corean minister here, MIR.
Chin Pom Ye, that the little kingdom
would join the Union and the second a
decision to reduce the rates of interna-
tional postal orders on sliding scale
basis after reaching a certain amount.
This matter does not affect the United
States. The action will not affect the
postal orders for less than 100 francs, or
s20, but will cheaper the cost of all issued
for more than that sum.
A scheme is being urged and may be
submitted at this Congress for report at
the next providing for international tele-
graphic service at the post offices of some
of the leading cities of the various
countries.

saw Il number of the crew smoking and
that they were very careless in throwing
away their matches. The officers. he
said, made no attempt to stop the
smoking among the crew.
Along shore today it was thouoht
strange that the fire was not discovered
earlier. 1t must have been smouldering
several days, and yet neither the captain
nor any of the officers knew ANYTHING
about it until the vessel was filed with
smoke.
At 9 a. m. when the reporters We're per-
mitted to board the steamer the forward
deck presented sorry spectacle. The
smell of burned flesh still pervaded the
ship. The smokestacks were toppled
over and charred and the steerage apart
ments below entirely Quilted. The flames
had eaten their way all around the pilot
house, but had left the house itself I'M
touched. Below the deck in the Storage
were burned and charred packages OF
cotton, and broken and bent pipes every
where hanging down from the Top and

in this city, said: 'sWe all thought we

The dense volumes of black smoke rolllng
up from the bales of cotton batting
choked us and the suffering of men,
women and children from this was
pitiable. A lookout first smelled smoke
and hurTying below saw flames. From
a manhole on the forward deck, beside
the pilot house the crew began to light
the flames. The crew and Captain Wilder
did nobly. The hatchways below in the
steerage were IN place and prevented the
flames from eating their way below to the

Charles c. Mallory said: ~ do not at
