BEWARE OF GREEN TEA.

cit is an abominatIon and a fraud. In
the first place it is the unripe leaf, and
bears the same relation to the real ar
ticle, that the green does to the ripe
peach. The green tea of commerce de-
riyes it's rare color from being cured or
rather killed, in dirty copper pans, from
being mixed with roots anu shrubs,
from being stained with indigo, and
chrome yellow from being colOred with
verdigris, grass juice or chlOrOphyl.
Every green dye known to commerce
has been used to produce that much ad-
mired, but death dealing color. except
pehaps Paris green. AS soon as the
use of that poisonous substance will
give a profit of cent n pound, no
doubt it will be literally used by the mer-
cenary Monaghan merchants, and the
much more mercenry cultured European
tea trade"

POPULAR EDUCATION.-Mrs. Henri
eta Russell, who writes 80 sensibly on
education, says that some of the cur
rent notions in regard to it are strik-
ingly like those of Aunt Charlotte, an
old Negro woman of Alabama.
Whenever subject was under dis
cussion in the family, Charlotte would
be sure to state her own superior meth
cd of proceeding in such matters, and
no doubt ever assailed her that possibly
she might not be right.
On one occasion her mistress was
talking about sending some of the
children to school, and Charlotte, as
usual, put in her oar.
Law, missis," said she, "what mex
you pay money for to sem de chile to
school? 1 got one smart boy named
Jonas, but Farms him myself"
"But, Aunt Charlotte" said the
lady, show can you teach your child
when you don't know one letter from
another ?"

THE LUBRICATIoN TEsT.-Very few
of the millions of people who carry
watches realize to what wonderful
extent fabrication is developed and
what an extraordinary number of turns
the balance wheel makes with one oil
ing. A Chestnut street matchmaker,
whose knowledge of these wonderful
pieces of mechanism is not exceeded
by any man in this city, has made up
an interesting table of comparisons to
show the perfection of fabrication in a
watch.
A watch will run on one oillng from
a year to a year and half. Every
minute the balance wheel turns on its
axis $50 times and $4,000 times in an
hour. Accepting year as the time
the ordinary watch will run with one
oiling, he finds that if the driver of a
locomotive was as we'll oiled as bal
ance wheel of watch it ought to run
60 miles an hour day and night for 64S
days, or we'll on to two years, with one
oiling. In that time it would traverse
distance equal to nearly 40 times the
circumference of the earth.
In view of the fact that in reality
few locomotives will run one day with
one oiling, he maintains that the
matchmaker has developed his art to a
far greater degree than the locomotive
builder has yet been able to reach.

A DISINFECTED SHAVE.

There was time, as every student
knows, when the barber was profess
sional man. The modern surgeon is
only his lineal descendant; but unfortu-
nately in the race for worldly honors
the surgeon has left him far behind.
Hypnotic eloquence does not always
sway society, and the barber remains
a mechanic. In Paris, he has even
become a ward of the police and an
appendage to the Hygienic council.
BY way of guarding against the dis
eases liable to be spread by the exer-
else of his trade, that council has re-
Gently ordained that the barber's metal
implements shall be plunged, directly
after use, into boiling, soapy water,
and that they shall be kept, when not
in use, in a receptacle heated to
germ-destroying temperature, or in
one containing sterilizing solution.
Before and after use, his brushes
must be dipped in boiling water.
"Blowers" pulverisateurs sec) must
be substituted for his powder-puffs,
and metal combs must take the place
of his ivory, bone or celluloid combs.
Finally, the barber must wash his
hands before passing from one GUS
toner to the next; and after he has
cut any ones hair he must scrupul-
ously sand the floor, preparatory to
gathering and burning the hair.
Happily, though the new rule may
keep the barber dancing between the
washbowl and the stove, it fails to

COMMENCE TODAY

DETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF
ID MARCH, 1t is usual for the people OF this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one OF the cleanest,
the state, it Is natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVILI.E ENQUIRER should also be
one Of the most popular. Ninety per cent. Of
the families in the county desire It as regu-
lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford it, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One Of the most Sc
rious drawbacks, probably, is the inconven,
ience Of writing letters, sending money and
attending to the matter Of subscribing at the
proper time. It Is this fact that makes 1t es-
pecfally desirable for US, just at this time, to
secure the services of large number OF intel
ligent and energetic assistants, and to make IT
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price Of single subscription one year
Is TWO DOLLARS. This is to the individual
who does not give his name to O clubmaker !;
but sends it direct to this office. In clubs,
however the price is only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That Is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubma-
ker, and the price which, under all circum-
stances, he is expected to pay us. Now TO our
PROPOSITIONS

yearly subscriber at Sl.75 and so counted. A
subscription paid for two or more years In ad-
vance at sl.75, will be counted as one name for
each year so paid.
Clubmakers will be held personally respon-
sible for the payment Of all names returned by
them. After clubmaker has returned and
paid for any name, he can, at anytime there
after, discontinue the sending Of the paper to
the person for whom he has paid, and transfer
the unexpired time to any other person, pro-
vided the person to whom the transfer Is
desired was not subscriber at the time the

not be permitted to transfer their club to an
other clubmaker's list after the names have
been entered on our books.
It is not necessary that the names on club
should all be at the same postoffiee. Names
may be taken at any number OF places.
Clubmakers are requested to send In names
as rapidly as they secure them after OCTOBER
All subscriptions must be forwarded to us at
the expense Of those sending them.

To Each New Subscriber.

The same as above except that If the paper
is COMMENCED NOW, IT WILL BE SENT
UNTIL JANUARY /, 1899, without any
charge for that portion Of the time between
now and January l, 1897. 1t is understood,
however, that II the subscriber fails to pay
the clubmaker the subscription price, he will
be due him for all papers that he may have
received.
BY new subscribers, we mean those whose
names were not on OUR BOOKS ON OCTO-
BER 1st, 1897. except we will not count as
new subscribers, cases where the subscription
may have been changed from the name Of one
member of family to another. This is in

hamper one important tool of his
trade. The barber's tongue is not to
be boiled, washed, heated, disinfected
or sanded. Therefore he is using it to
argue that, if the authorities direct
his doings, they should also look after
the butcher and baker and candle
stick -maker-every honest tradesman
who is liable to endanger the public
while serving the public, and who
does not add to the charm of the ser.
vice the beauty of his voice.
