TEA lNroxIcATloN.
The Detection OF the Leaf Is Almost as
Jagfui IA Alcohol.

Those good persons " no como under the
lead Of tea and toast philosophers and tea
drinkers generally viii be interested in
tho statement of medical authority that
the ju 80 OF tho tea leaf ranks second only
to alcohol rs an intoxcnnt
DIR. Jnmcs Wood 81 the Brooklyn health
board has Ccs piled some statistics bearing
ON this subject, and b. finds that of nll the
patients applying for treatment at the
chief dispcnsGiy Of the City of Churches
no less than 10 Per cent arc tea Grunkards.

confessions They suffer from headache,
vertigo, insomnia, palptation OF the heart,
mental confusion, nightmare, nausea, hal
lucinations, morbid depression of spirits
and sometimes from suicidal impulses.
DIR. Wood sums up his investigation In
The Medical News and says that the pa
tients referred TO were Of both sexes and
oil ages. They confessed to drinking from
Ia pints, tho minimum amount stated, to
10 pints of tea each day. More than half
Of tho patients were of Irish birth or de-
scent, and nearly third were domestic
servants.
recognized as widely prevalent evil, con-
trihutng largely to the number of inmates
Of insane asylums, etc, and 1t Is well
known fact that the most inveterate drink
ers of tea In this country arc domestics Of
Celtic origin who apparently bring the
habit with them to America.
The evil of tea drinking Is not due SO
much to tho amount consumed as to the
manner in which the liquid is prepared
Dr. Wood says that in most Of the cases
that came under his observation the vic
tins were i'm the habit of throwing into
the teapot an upmeasured quantity Of tea
leaves and Of adding boiling water to the
connection as long as the desire for the
stimulant remained unquenched. Some
times the leaves were kept soaking for q
day or more, when new supply of tea
leaves would be thrown In ON top. The
constant boiling Of tea in this manner ex-
tracts tho most deleterious substances of
tho tea leaf
Tea left standing for pa hours, for In
stance, will generate from to IL per cent
of tannin and a lot of other injurious
things This form Of preparation Is most
prevalent among kitchen servants who are
restricted in the use of tea and among
| shop and factory girls, who are also great
tea drinkers, and is too often practiced
among other people Of small means who
do not wish to waste q single leaf as long
as there is any strength" In it.
| At best tea is not healthful, but II you
| must drink 1t the proper way to prepare
| the fluid is to pour boiling water over O
| given quantity In proper proportion, let II
| stand for three minutes or SO and then
| drink what you want, throwing tho re-
maindor away and being careful that the
teapot is thoroughly cleaned before 1t IL
| put away for future use.-Brooklyn Eagle.

THE Sl,AkE THAT GRiNS.
This Is the Name Applied by the indians
to the Sidewinder.

To the unprojudiocd observer the side
winder Is by no means bad looking
snake. Indeed the general expression OF
Its face is bright and oomical rather than
horrible. When startled, it has habit OF
raising its head several inches In the air
and then turning from side to side to see
what Is going on. At such times the
quick motion of the head together with
the appearance of the horns, that stand up
like shabby little cars, remind one almost
irresistibly of terrier when some one
says Ratsp Then. with its mouth shut,
the line OF the lips seen from the side Is
curve that rises at both ends, giving it's
features just as nearly the appearance OF
sardonic grin as any snakes face can ae-
sumo. Eb Hadley, the best known driver
of big desert teams, first called the writer's
attention to this popularity and said that
the Paniment Indians living on the west
side of Death valley have o name for the
reptile that means 1.-THE snake with o
grin.
In color, as a whole, the sidewinder Is
exactly like that of the mesa sand. When
IL Is lying still, no one walking along the
desert save an Indian can see 1t. Once the
eye has located 1t, however, 1t Is found to
be Of a light yellowish color on the sides,
with stripe along the back, while very
beautiful brown spots, suggestive OF the
speckled trout, are scattered about on each
side of the stripe. Farther toward the tall
there are short, tigerish stripes at right
angles to the dorsal stripe, and there Is o
brown dash just behind each eye. 1t has
only one nos,ril--in the center OF large
scale plate. Although 1t has but single
nostril, the desert men believe that 1t has
a very keen smell for snake, and part
of their dread OF tho beast Is due to this
They say the snake Is attracted by the
smell of cooking food and comes to their
campflres TO get something to eat. When
near Ii camp, il shows the liking for q
warm bed that all snakes have, only In n
greater degree, and no matter how hot the
night might bc il will crawl on the bed CT
the sleeping desert man and stretch its
| coolish length against his body There Is
no snake ia the desert that shows the Xix
| ing for blanket bed that tho sidcwirder
does, and 50 II is hated accordingly Not
one Of the desert men here can tel OF Il
case by name and date where sleeping
| man has been bitten by ono Of thcs:
snakes though every desert man will say
ohhard that lots Of such cases happen

TIDES OF HOLLOW.
They Continue to DO n Hopeless Puzzle to
Every enc Familiar with Them.

They Continue to Bc n Hopeless Puzzle to
Every enc Familiar with Them.
Tho tides of Hollow are, according to
Consul Parker of Kiungchau, as hopeless
a puzzle as ever Though the customs nu
thoritics have now four years records,
there is absolutely no rule to be dcduced
tberofrom Tho tides outside the spit are
regular enough. but those inside elude the
wit OF man to account for, and the level OF
the water outside Is positively said to be
often several feet above that inside There
IL tidal creek near the consul's house
over which he can rarely walk during the
day In summer, but he had walked over 1t
every day but two at 9 p. IN. during the
past two months-close of last year and
beginning of this-a fact which OF itself
renders the inner tide question inexplica.
BILE.
Perhaps the best explanation Is that OF
Chinese naval commander, who says
that, owing to the conformation Of the
spit, 1t Is impossible for the water to flow
into the mouth of tho creek when the
northeast wind blows and the tide Is ris
ing. That would appear to explain why
during the day the winter tides nre almost
Invariably low inside the spit, while dur
ing the night, when the wind usually
drops, they have an average height Per
haps also the blowing of the wind from
the southwest direction explains why
during tho typhoons of the end OF Sep
tember and tho beginning Of October Hoi
how was completely under water and the
tides were four feet above the highest or
binary mark. But the consul Is not able
to say from what direction the wind WIS
actually blowing when the floods took
place. 1t appeared to blow from all quar-
ters.--Indian Engineer

slipping Rugs.

Housekeepers who rejoice in smooth,
hard floors often End the slipping OF the
rugs stretched upon them serious annoy
ance, II not positive danger, as falls may
easily ensue from IL. A rug salesman con-
tributed the other day this suggestion as a
remedy. "wet the rugs thoroughly" he
said. "and turn them right side downward
until dry. 1t will not hurt them and will
relieve this tendency to slip" The expla-
nation is that tho wetting dissolv~s some

Shakers in Georgia.

AT Brunswick Saturday last the
Shaker Society of Union Village, O..
concluded the purchase Of 81 900 acres
OF Georgia land, situated in Pierce,
Ware and Charlton Counties. The deal
involves about S125,OOO, and a portion
Of the purchase money has been paid
The purpose Of the purchase, it is an
nounced, is to develop. a part Of the
land for stock and sheep raising, and
to dispose Of the remainder to a de-
sirable class Of Northwestern farmers
1t is understood that the Shakers will
devote their personal attention to de-
veloping this land. They have already
over $4,000 in Glynn County farms
and it is their purpose to eventually
move the entire Ohio Shaker colony to
Georgia. They have over $4,000 in
vested in Ohio, and the bringing of this
sum to Georgia will, it is thought, prove
vastly beneficial to the State.-Balti-
