ing elixir The best tea we get does not come from China, in spite of the fact that it is supposed to do so. India, Ceylon and Java supply the best brands. which arc far superior to what used to be shipped here 20 years ago. Tea was first imported from China. however, and 2,7s7 years before Christ ii was used in the howery kingdom. As to milk and sngar, Chinese or Japan csc epicnrc would think his drink total- ly ruined if either was put in. They de- rive a gentle collaboration from their tea that we hurried westerners miss. One Chinese philosopher has said re- gnrding tea: 'slt tempers the spirits and harmonizes the mind dispels lassi- tude and relieves fatigue, awakens thought and prevents drowsiness, lightens anc refreshes the body and clears the perceptive faculties"
 The difference between black and green ten is simply that the latter is dried moro quickly and isacleaner, not being worked over so much. Occasion- ally, however, the green tea is colored with Prussian blue. Tea could not be grown in countries where the price of labor was high without causing very great rise in price.

 Shall we have time to dress, suh7 asked the lady with 6 hauteur that, under the circumstances, was pathetic.
 'No; fly for your liv3s, " said the con ductor, for even as he tpoke he sawTa couple of men riding under the apple trees. M
 The women saw them, too, and, throwing on whatever Icy in reach in the way of wraps, hurried over to the train. The old negress, still telling Ter story, went with the two women and helped them into the chboose. Now &he two robbers who had ridden through the orchard saw the trainmen and iln- mediately opened fire. The conductor and the brakeman, walking backward, kept the desperadoes back, killing one of their horses. Just as tie trainmen reached the caboose the conductor was shot and fell near the rail. The rest of the band had come ID the fescue of their comrades, and now the lead was raining upon the side of the car. The brakeman, having dropped his gun, stopped to lift the conductor aboard, but he could not do 1t. Now this deli cate young daughter Of the south, see- ing the danger in which these men, her enemies, had voluntarily placed them- selves for her sake and her mothers, leaped to the ground and, with her white hands that had never lifted any thing heavier than q riding whip, helped the brakeman to life the limp form of the conductor into the car, while the bullets rained around her. When they had laid him upon the locker, the young woman lifted his head and held 1t in her lap. and SO, as the engine backed away, the conductor died.--N. Y. Sun.

European Custom Which 10 Find-
 ing Favor in New York.
 That weddings are fast losing their simplicity and sentimentality is an ac- knowledged fact, but of late they have done more than that--they have de- seconded to the level of the funerals where paid mourners used toweep.
 The custom has been inaugurated of hiring pretty bridesmaids and the whole affair is reduced to business level. This has been done in this coun- try and the idea is being taken up in Paris and London. Paid bridesmaids is term calculated tc shock the aesthet- ically minded, but some who assist at the altar have an eye to the main chance, gooday sums being paid to beautiful girls for their services at fashionable marriages. There is one belle who has earned sufficient to pro- vide for herself an elegant rousseau by thus ministering to the wants of ultra-fashionable brides. This girls figure is perfection and shows off the beauties of expensive gowns in the fin est style, while her complexion is sur passingly lovely and her features fault lessly regular. So run after is she that she can afford to turn up the nose of disdain nt any but really first-class af- fairs, and it is becoming quite an honor to have her name figure in the wedding report of really influential brides.
 There is another fashionable brides maid in London-really a New York maiden-who earns quitesa comfortable sum by posing as bridesmaid. Her beauty is incomparable and her figure so fine that she always causes sensa- tion wherever she appears in the robes of honor. It is no unusual thing for her to have dozen invitations within a week Of course the majority of the applicants are perfect strangers, and frequently it is her painful duty to de cline to appear at second-rate we'd Gings, though the price offered is often exceptional. A recent New York we'd ding witnessed the satin-robed bride attended by 13 exquisitely lovely bridesmaids, ten of whom were paid over $50 to appear. the costumes works of art-being provided for the occasion by the brides father. One favored beauty, who brides herself on having appeared at 200 weddings, issues dainty circulars, and directly fash ionable engagement is publicly an nounced forwards her prospectus tothe bride-to-be, with goodly assortment of press opinions, letters of reference etc, being almost certain of securing an order to attend.

 whacking in 1892.
 All day the train had been waiting at Shady Rill for orders. Once in awhile the engineer would ask the brakeman to cut him off, and he would race up and down the track in order to pump her." for there were no injectors on the locomotive in 1862. All day the conductor sat in the caboose, where an operator was working, expecting or ders to back away, for the Johnnies were getting the better of the Tanks. Once, when the engineer went down the track into the pine forest, he saw band of bushwhackers riding leisurely through the wood in the direction of Shady Rill. These were not men of the north nor yet of the south. They were marauders, murderers, masqucrading as soldiers, and equally dangerous to each army. The engineer told the con- ductor what he had seen, and, taking couple Of muskets and one of the brakemen, the captain put himself into the wood tank and set out to hunt the bandits. It was an odd way to go to work, but the conductor considered it better than remaining at the run to be plundered, if not murdered by the band. The bushmen must have heard

 4he BattlcAelds


 4he BattlcAeld.
 "DoDt leave me, captain! Oh, don't leave me!"--words that came to me with an agonized shriek from a bleeding and dying confederate soldier on the evening of the. great battle of Malvern Hill, July 1, 1862. He. mere youtH cf IT years, lay in, a heap, gaxping for the breath which was fat leaving him. along with the rays of sunlight, on that sad and memorable day. l, for whom that piteous cry was meant, was staff officer of the brigaile t6 which the Lou isiana regiment. the toldier boy 's regi- ment, was attachcd.
 Well mounted, Vas gnlloping back across that bloody field to report the duty I had performed, when suddenly arrested in my course by the voice of despair and woe, coming from my stricken comradeA The day was fast passing away into darkness, darkness 1 that seemed to enshroud this valley of death. The terrific carinonading xon, i both sides that had fdstcd for hdhrs from the surrounding hills (Afalvern Hill being the central point of attack i by the confederates) was supplemented l by the booming of artillery and burst i ing of shells from the gunboats on the adjacent James river.
 l Nature seemed to revolt at this scene ! of blood and carnage. Thunder and lightning and an avalanche of raincame' i'll quick succession with such gneat | force as to cause the stoutest heart to quake. This great battle was the seventh days fight to capture the city Of Richmond. If was flpt an ordinary battle, but demons fight, anJl the final encounter between theae two giants of war, Robert F. Lee and George B. Mc- l Clellan. It gave the laurels of victory to the southern chieftain, bedewed with the tears of broken hadrts.
 l Without stopping to consider what I, alone, could do for the dying youth, amidst the chaos and increasing dark ness of the night that prevailed. Turned back and dismopnted; to keep q lonely vigile with the dead. My horse, which, lstraar7e to say, had seemed frenzied
 with ftax. beseDae<apiet and tractable,
 as though he knew thefeszEaG safety with his master. I Icalled the boy, whl
