TEA.-It is estimated that tea is
habitually consumed by not less
than FIVE hundred million people,
or about one hall of the human
race. Amongst the Chinese and
the inhabitants of Japan, Thibet
and Nepaul it is drunk by all
classes three or four times a day.
In AsiatiC Russia, in a large Dor
ton Of Europe, in North America,
and in Australia it is a taVorite
beverage. In China tea has been
used as an article Of diet from
very remote period of antiquity.
Curiosly enough, they have no
record or tradition respecting its
first introduction. The Japanese,
however, tell us that in the year
$40, holy man named Darma, the
SON OF an Indian monarch, took
refuge in China, and publicly
taught that the only way TO attain
happiness was to eat nothing but
-,eSStsklSs a@j 81 "iuIO~t Sl~NP.
This enthusiastic vegetarian and
anti morpheusian was, however,
on a hot summers day overcome
by drowsiness, and fairly nodded
before his congregation. When
he awoke to his breach of his
own precept, great was his self re-
proach, and being determined that
he would not transgress a second
time, he cut off his eYelids and
threw them on the ground. In
due time they took root, and grad
ually developed into the plant now
known as tea. Tea was probably
first introduced into Europe about
the mid( lie of the seventeenth CEN
tury, TOR in I66I Pepys wrote in his
diary, / sent Tor a cup OF tea Ia
Chinese drink, OF which l had
never heard before" At first its
use was not very common, as in
the same century the East India
company considered it rare gift
to present the King Of England
with two pounds two ounces Of tea.
The plant which yields the tea
leaves is a native Of China, and
still grows wild on the hills both
ofthat country and Japan. The tea
plants are raised from seed, which
is sown in March. When a year
old the young bushes are planted
out, and when placed in rows three
or four feet apart have some re-
semblance to gooseberrY bushes.
The season for gathering varies in
different districts, but the principle
leaf harvest is in May or June.
The leaves are plucked by " omen,
and are usually gathered at three
successive periods. The Youngest
and earliest leaves are the most
tender and delicate, and give the
highest favored tea. The second
and third gatherings are more Bit
ter and woody, and yield less SOL
uble matter to water The refuse
and decayed leaves and twigs are
sold under the name of "brick
tea. "-FaHtLY PiYSscEGN.

Letting those which could be spared, each

Last night, while the horse and carriage Of
Rev. r. B. Taylor was hitched In front Of

along E street. Not seeing the rig, they
drove into it, upsetting the carriage and
frightening the horse. He broke loose and
dragging the carriage, dashed across the
park opposite, through the barb-wire fence,
completely demolished. Crossing the park
was a mother wheeling her baby in a car
riage in line of the flight of the horse, and
the mother had Just time to sieze her child
and flee with it when the terrified horse
dashed through and over the baby carriage,
wrecking 1t completely. The action of the
trustees in thus putting out the lamp will
be tested by damage suit.

A BRUTAL CRIME
G. n. Gribben Charged With Criminal
Assault on His Daughter-in-Law

SAN BERNARDINO, July 10.-The par
ticulars of a most brutal assault have just
come to light. The perpetrator of 1t lies
in Jail. His conviction is, however doubt
full. His wife is in the county hospital,
raving maniac, under the care of the daugh-
ter, the victim of her step-fathers brutality.
The name of the brute is C. II. Gribben,
section hand for the Santa Fe, working at
Redlands, while the mother has been
housekeeper at the residence of c. H. Nett
ler and the daughter, young girl of Is
or 16 years of age. has been at work in the
family of M. KATE.
The story of the crime dates back to
Sunday, June 20, wher the daughter Pearl
Grant, called upon her mother Feeling
sleepy, she went to her mothers room to
lie down. While there she fell asleep, and
on waking found herself in the grasp Of
her step-father, who had come in and
taken advantage of the sleeping girl. She
tried to scream, but the ravisher placed
his hand over her mouth and stifled her
mouth until the crime was accomplished,
when he told the weeping girl that II she
ever mentioned the affair he would charge
1t upon young man who had been paying
her some attention. At first she tried to
keep her trouble to herself, but ths crime
was too horrible to conceal, and she told
her mother and the two sought the dis
trict attorney for advice and assistance.
That night the mothers mind gave way,
and she has been a raving maniac ever
since, with only an occasional and slight
glimpse of reason when she would beg
the officers to let her have knife and give
her just moment alone with her husband
There is not the slightest doubt Of the mans
guilt, and the sympathies of all who know
them are with the mother and daughter
