Things Once Used or Now Used as Substi-
tutes For the Chinese Herb.
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 sew
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 lex 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 lick. 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 It
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 900 substitutes for tea;
in England they used to make a 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.

A GEORGIA HEN COOP.

It Was Sure Proof Against the Inrosds Of
Outsiders. @s'z~e@7asao-e a-s.e
'There isn't more faithful being on
earth, - said Georgia business man to
. reporter, ethan one of our Georgia
darkies Neither is there one more su
perstitious, nor yet again is there one
who loves better the products Of the
hen coop. And Cartersville isn't any diff
ferent from any one Of hundred south
ern towns. When I was down there
some time ago, a customer of mine who
had fancy for chickens and who had
always had more or less trouble in
maintaining ownership of them told me
he had remedy and asked me to go
around with him and see it. wanted
him to tell me what it was, but he in
sisted on my seeing it first, SO went
along with him. and in few minutes
was standing in his back yard before
what was to me the oldest chicken
coop ever saw. It was constructed OF
large timbers and there were dozen
places in it's walls where hand could
be run in and everything cleaned out
within reach. Then there was no fas-
tening on the door, nor was there any
kind of protection to the fowls. I
couldn't understand how such an in
viting snap could be Of any use to the
owner and said as much.
"'The charm is in the timber, said
he.
"'No,' said I.
"'Fact, just the same,' said he. You
don't see it on the outside and you dom t
know it, but the darkies around here
do, and they won't come within 100
yards of that coop if they can help it. I
don't care how full of chickens it is.
Cause why: It is built of the timbers
of gallows on which man was hung
about three months ago in another coun-
ty. 1t cost me something extra to get it,
but it has more than paid for itself
since 1 have had it, and I am in the
market now to buy all the secondhand
scaffolds in Georgia. If you run across
sheriff any place with one for sale, let
me know by next mail, won't you,
please?'
cit was true BILL" concluded the
travelling man, ''for I saw darky
tried on it, and he refused big silver
dollar to go down to the coop to get a
chicken for breakfast. Washington

Drying Clothes.

The drying of clothes in frosty
weather is sometimes, in the case of
delicate fabrics, attended with tearing
because of the quick stiffening in the
very cold air. A simple precaution
which will prevent any such trouble is
to dissolve three or four handfuls of
coarse salt in the last rinsing water,
thus making it, in fact, weak brine.
Articles so rlnsed will not suffer from
OR stiffen with the cold.

GUARDING THE COASTS.

Our coasts are henceforth TO be protected. or
that we may be assured. Ii Is one or the re-
suits Of the late war In which we may all re-
ioice or all except the fervent few VINO imagine
the millennium began the day before yesterday
Rational men who have given Thought 10 the
subject have long realized and deplored the uh-
guarded condition of our coasts. In recent
wears some progress toward protection mas peeh
made. but how little even yet was startlihgly
shown nj the beginning Of the war. while New
York Harbor for example, was pretty well pro-
yided with forts and guns, 1t was found that
there was no direct and secure means OF com
munication between the various forts ana be-
tween them and military headquarters else
where With all our latter-day triumphs IN tele-
graphing and telcphOning, no attempt mus 10
equip the harbor forts had been made. so II
was found necessary to create from the begin
ming a whole system Of communication. 1t was
also required to create from the beginning
system of watches along the coast. to detect ana
report the approach Of a hostile feet.
Now it is not proposed TO keep the coast-de-
fence service perpctually on war footing.
There IL no need of that. What is wanted is
peace system capable Of being promptly eX-
banded into one equal to the emergencies or
war. Powerful Notifications are being provided.
When the plans now in hand are fully executed
there will be no lack of guns, or Of shells to fire
from them, or of carriages to mount them upon,
or of forts in which to place them, or Of men TO
stand behind them and to work them. There
will also be Il permanent. secure and complete
system of instantaneous communication De-
tween the forts Beyond that IL Is proposed TO
establish and maintain an extended system or
signal stations along the coast, all connected
with each other aud with the seat Of Govern
ment. The plan is an admirable one. Probably
not more than dozen stations Will be needed
between PAssamaquOddy and Key West Thes"
will be ADEQUATE in time Of peace, and they will
form skeleton which In time of war can rapid
IL be filed up with intervening stations until
the whole coast is thckly studded with watch
ful guards. We have indeed, the latter already
in winter time. though not yet properly recog-
niZcd nor maintained In a manner behtting their
importance One OF these days, perhaps the
whole Iife-saving service will be kept up the
whole year round, and it will be found to pay.
from n purely financial point OF view. Until
TINT Is done the maintenance OF a few scattered
stations at salient points will DO of great value
tn the peacefnl rs well as TO the military inter
ests of the Nation.

officIal inspectors of the highest ability ana

Now there Is no need OF renewing ut this

a few OF the reasons why the Nicaragua Canni

that the Nicaragua route is practicable ana the
Panama route Is not. There is unquesf0naDiy

TSTHNTAN CANAL ISSUE Els.

marked revival Of isthmian canal activity
Is Just now to be observed. II is not activity
in construction much as In controversy, and
it consists chiefly in high laudation Of and
glowing promises concerning one route and
savage denunciation Of another. SIch ameni-
ties between rival enterprises Ere common
enough to pass ordinarily with little remark.
In the present case there Is a system in them,
and there are circumstances aDOu, them that
give them unusual significance. Briefly stated,
they seem 10 he part of an organized campaign
against the Nicaraguan Canal project. conduct
cd by two distinct parties. whose interests are
chiefly divergent and antagonistc but conci-
dent on this one point. One party consists Of
those who are In one way or another interested
in the Panama scheme. either In actually try
ing TO complete the canal or In temporarily
forcing up the market value OF Panama stock
for speculative purposes. Such naturally decry
the Nicaragua enterprise in favor Of their own.
The other and more aggressive party comprises
those who. in the interest Of transcontinental
railroads or for other reasons. are opposed to
the construction OF any !sthmian canal ut all,
and they, In declaring the Panama scheme to be
the better, are simply using it rs club with
which 10 strike down the Nicaragua scheme.
They do not really believe the Panama Canal
can ever succeed. and so. IL they can kill the
Nicaragua scheme, they Will defeat the whole
canal business That IL the game which Ii

inntion or the animoslty Of those interested In
