President HAYES, Watches.

The late President Hayes was always
noted for his thrifty habits, but some
things which impressed the multitude
as signs of meanness were really nothing
but ordinary prudence. For example,
we all used to wonder why he would
persist in wearing silver plated watch,
worth possibly SD. He was aware that
this practice was known, and any aston
ishment manifested amused him instead
of making him angry. In answer to a
look of surprise he would say, II think
that is q plain watch for a president of
the United States to carry, but it is
good American make" as if assuming
that this act would counterfeit the effect
of the cheapness of the article. The
truth was that almost weekly deputa-
ton of western Indians called upon him,
always bringing presents Of some kind
to the great father. OF course he was
expected to give something in return,
and the object was to find something
cheap and at the same time acceptable
Watches were novelty to the Indians,
and to present a chief with watch
which the great father himself had
been carrying always impressed him
greatly. Having discovered this and not
caring to distribute gold watches or
even silver ones, Mr.. Hayes hit upon
the expedient of buying nickel watches
at $50 dozen and always made it con-
venient to have one with him against an
emergency. Kate Fields Washington.

Tea In China.

Numerous volumes have been written
by Chinese authors on tea and on its
preparation. The well known writer,
Lulu, has, among others, produced an
exhaustive work on the preparation Of
this beverage. The Chinese love to dis
cuss matters pertaining to their favorite
plant, and many curious lines appear
in the national literature in praise Of
this fragrant herb.
As rule the Chinese prepare their
tea thus: A Milling pot, made Of a
species of terra Gotta, with an unvar-
nished interior. is partially filled with
rain or spring water and allowed to boil
until a few bubbles begin to rise. 1t is
then taken off the fire, and the tea is
thrown in, when it is allowed to stand
for FIVE minutes at the most. Good tea
when ready for use should be clear and
barely yellow in color. London Illus.

CURE FOR PNEUMONIA.
ehe Snow Treatment Worked Well In the
Case Of n Hartford Patient.

fhe Snow Treatment Worked Well In the
Case OF Hartford Patient.
Arthur Roulston of Hartford recently
recovered from q severe attack OF pneu-
monia, after an illness Of two weeks.
For several days his life was despaired
of.
About two weeks ago he was taken
with pronounced attack of pneumonia,
and on the second day of the disease his
temperature reached 100 degrees, with
rapid pulse, difficult respiration and ac-
companied by active delirium. These
conditions continued for seven days,
with no intervals of repose day or night,
the delirium becoming so violent that IL
was with difficulty the patient could be
kept in bed. His temperature remained
above. l06 degrees. with pulse $50, and
Notwithstanding that his ply sician, Dr.
Boucher, employed all remedies'advo.
Gated for this disease, including cold
bathing. Indications of approaching
death becoming apparent u! ! convinced
of the futility of drugs, the family con-
sented TO the following heroic treat
ment:
The patient was Invested Of all cloth
ing, and, enveloped in a sheet, was
placed upon a rubber protective and his
entire body, fnce excepted, was covered
with snow. upon which cold water was
poured, the application being continued
almost an hour, when the temperature
had dropped 20 los degrees and the
pulse to lis. with almost absolute re-
lief.
The improvement lasted about six
hours, when the fever and delirium re-
turned. The snow packs were resumed
and applied every four hours, day and
night, whenever the temperature reach.
ed l05 degrees and were continued four
days, when the crisis was reached and
the patient made rapid and uninter-
rupted recovery. The cold applications
were agreeable to the patient, and the
good achieved was probably due to a
reflex action upon the nerve centers and
not entirely the result of the direct alb
straction of heat. Hartford Times.

WANT TO BE ENGllSHMEN.
Story From Hawaii About the Attitude
of the Natives.

of the Natives.
The natives in Honolulu are consider
ably excited over the speeches of Nor
mon elder named Cluff, who is making
a canvass to ascertain how they feel to-
ward annexation. He began work few
days ago at the Mormon colony at Laie
by calling meeting of natives. After
some talk he asked the question:
do you want annexation to the
United States?''
The people are said to have stood up
in body and shouted, "Nol"
"If, then," said he, "the United
States fails to annex the islands, will
you support the present governments"
Again the populace answered in the
negative.
81 know certainly, continued Cluff,
according to the story, THAT your queen
can never be restored. If you do not
want annexation to the United States or
will not support the present govern
ment, what, then, do you want?"
To a man, the story goes, the natives
shouted, "Give us annexation to Eng
land.
Where Cluff came from or in whose
interest he is working is unknown

Glass Windows.

Glass windows are known to have ex-
listed at Pompeii as early as A. ID. 20.
In the third century the windows Of
royal houses throughout Europe were
glazed. Windows of colored glass were
placed in many Italian and French
churches in GA. and the use of glass
became general in private houses dur
ing the twelfth century. The panes,
however. were only or inches square.
and the material was so inferior that
while room was lighted it was often
a matter of some difficulty to discern
objects ON the outside through the glass.
For long time windows in England
were q subject Of taxation.
