TEAS AND TEAS,
Things Once Used or Now Used as Substi-
 tutes For the Chinese Herb.

Things Once Used or Now Used as Substi tutes For the Chinese Herb. i Of course every one knows that we drink good deal that isn't tea when
 we drink cup of tea. We drink-or are supposed to drink-some tea, some lead and some straw. But there are sev- eral "teas'' that the drinkers know are not made of tea leaves and yet are not adulterated.
 In Peru they drink mate, tea made from the Hex paraguensis, species of holly. This is the only mate tea, but there is Brazilian tea, gorgonha, call ed mate there; another tea used in Aus tria, called Brazilian tea, and several other so called mate teas are made from different varieties of the ilex. In Lab rador they make tea from two species of ledum. Oswego tea was made from the scarlet mouarda, and mountain tea from the dwarf evergreen, Gaultheria procumbens Then clover tea and tansy tea and catnip tea and mint tea are used, though not as beverages.
 In Sumatra they use coffee leaves to make tea out of, and the beverage is said to be very refreshing. In Mauritius the leaves of an orchid, Angroecum fragrans, are used. The Tonquinese have teas of their own, made of leaves, berries, barks and woods. The Abys- sinians make tea out of the leaves of the Catha edulis When sentinel can't leave his post to get cup of tea, he can chew leaf or two of this plant, and he won't feel like going to sleep all night In Tasmania there are said to be more than 200 substitutes for tea; ill England they used to make tea of sage, betony or rosemary and of rasp- | berry leaves; in France they use black | currant leaves and borage to make tea, and a century or so ago they gathered | in English gardens and fields ash, elder and sloe leaves, and the leaves of white thorn and blackthorn, out of which to make tea. So it is evident that there are teas and teas.-New York Sun.

Two young Americans, connected
 with the legation of the United States
 at London, have been granted release
 from punishment for infraction of the ordinances of the city on a plea of
 diplomatic privilege" The British government, with some hesitation, ac- cepted the plea, thereby placing the United States under obligation to con done the violation of ordinances that any British attache may see fit to in dulge in while in this country. The two young men were Spencer Eddy, secretary to John Hay, the American Ambassador, and J. E. White, son of Secretary White, of the embassy. The affair in which they were implicated was a trifiing one. The penalty at the highest would not have exceeded $1O. The offense committed was riding bi- cycles on the sidewalk. Americans in London think the offenders should have paid their fines and not brought the country into the case by pleading diplomatic privilege" We do not eX' pect the attaches of American lega- tions to violate the laws of the coun- try they happen to live in and then escape punishment by pleas of priVi- lege of that sort.

There was talk of a duel recently be- tween residents of a Southern city. Then it was announced that experts in the code duello had decided that the principals in the quarrel could not fight, because one of them had killed a man. had been tried for murder, and had barely escaped the galIows. The grounds for this objection were not good. The men would have met on the field on even terms, each with murder in his heart. The one who had killed a man, and meant to kill au- other, and the one who had not killed 6 man, but meant to kill one. should have been arrested and placed under

 Where naught abstracts, in calm most

 Though sparkling glance and bright array The senses touch with potent charms, They vanish in the steely day;
 The music dies in harsh alarms That fill the world of busy strife. So in the hard and clodden track Love lights alone would through life Walk with the little girl in black. Henry Dougherty in Womankind

The Origin of Puppet Shows.

The puppet show is such an ancient institution and has been popular in SC many countries that its origin is quite obscured by the mists of antiquity. An tiquaries with ethnOlogical spectacles have peered into this pristine fog and discerned connection between the pup pet show and religious observances. They have established the fact that dolls and mariOnettes are closely related and even advanced the theory that the shad- ow puppets used i'll many lands denote time when all the people saw of reli- gious ceremonies was the shadows of the officiating priests cast upon the walls of the sacred tent.--Francis J. Ziegler in Harper's Magazine.

NEVER BROKE" AGAIN.

An Improvident Young Man Who Will Al.
 ways Have a Dollar In His Pocket.
 "Queer things happen at funerals, ' said clergyman recently who has off, ciated at many, "and remember one occasion which impressed me greatly on account of the standing of the family Ill which it happened. as we'll as from the peculiar circumstances surrounding the incident-the bestowal of money on 6 dead man.''
 The narrator was urged to relate the story, and on the promise that no names would be mentioned he continued:
 It was funeral at the house of one of my parishioners, and I was greatly surprised when I received notice to at- tend and conduct the services. had not heard of any member of the family be- ing Ill, nor had been summoned to the deathbed, but l jumped to the conclu- sion that it was an old servant who had died.
 "It proved to be bad son-the black sheep of the efamily-whose shadow had not darkened their doors for years, but who, it was always believed, had been supported at distance far enough to prevent him from disgracing the family by his misdeeds.
 "Now he was brought home dead, and l was expected to give him as little blame and as much praise as was con- sistent with the dignity of my office and his relation to the family.
 ''I need not go into that part of the ceremonies, but come to what I consider the real expression of feeling which consecrated the memory of the man as nothing that said could have done.
 "Just before the casket was closed his old mother arose from her seat with the mourners, and, approaching the dead, slipped silver dollar into his vest pocket.
 Jim never liked to be without money in his pocket she said, with low, tremulous voice. 'Many's the dol lar I've slipped into his pocket unbe- known to him, but he always found it and was thankful. I don't expect he's going to need it now, and maybe he will never know that mother put it there, but somehow I shall feel better if he has it.
 "And felt that the woman who had loved much and forgiven much had preached a sermon of forgiveness and mercy before which l with my plati- tudes must remain dumb. "-Chicago Times Herald.

Books as well as nations have their statistical revelations. One of the best selling novels of last year, ''The Chris tian," contains, according to the Atlan- tic Monthly, one suicide, three murders, two deaths in bed, one bloodhound, four seductiOns, ballet girls, gamblers, music halls and thieves dens. The old style of fiction. wherein Macaulay counted twenty fainting-fits in a single romance, is humorous in comparison with the modern realistic novel.

It costs fifty cents, in Mankato, Kan sas, to sing, hum or whistle a certain popular song between the hours of six In the morning and ten at night. The town council has so directed, on the ground that the song has become an in- tOlerable nuisance. Perhaps the moral Is that the person with ''an ear for music" should adjust it, at frequent in tervals, to new tunes.

In most matters of serious moment Americans are no laggards. As a rule, except in the punishment of murder CTS, they are not sluggish or apathetic. But the methods in most of the courts in this country in criminal proceed ings are reproach to American civili- Zation, whenever wretches of the Dur rant type are allowed to live for years after conviction.
