He Had Not Changed.

From the Memphis Scimetar: Ora
ham Macfarlane relates that the other
day he was in a barber shop presided
over by a tonsorial artist who is a man
of color. The operation of shaving MI.
Macfarlane was about half finished
when there came in another negro, a
hack driver, who demanded 81 that the
barber owed him for a hack at a fu-
neral. "Come in next week, an I'll
have it," said the barber, as he con-
tinued to scrape. But the creditor got
on his ear. Look a-hyar!" said he,
Use gittin' mighty tired O. comm
eroun' here after dis yere money. Hits
always de same thing. Come eroun'

mex week. I wants ma money! I
come in las week, an yo' tole me to
come in mex week, an I comes mex
week and yo' tells me ter come dc
week after. I wants ma money!" With
that the barber took the middle Of the
floor and declared himself. Look r
hyar, black man." said he, "whut 20
pesterin' me about yo' money? Isn't
I tole yo' to come mex week. What yo'

Marriage is looked forward to as a
matter of course in Greece, says a
writer in Good Words. The prepare
ton of a girls tr%ousseau is often begun
by her careful mother while she is still
a child. This is more especially the
case among the working and peasant
classes. The former purchase by de-
grees the materials necessary accord
ing to their means. leaving to the
maiden herself the task of converting
them into wearing apparel and artt-
cles for domestic use. The daughter
of a well-to-do peasant will receive as
her portion a sum ranging from EGO
to f10O, a good stock of house linen and
homemade carpets and rugs, several
articles Of furniture, and two or three
suits, Of clothes, including a gala cos
tune for Sundays and holidays. A
husband for a %portionless girl being
hard to find, Greek fathers make it
their first duty to save a dot for their
daughters, and brothers in a fathers
place consider it incumbent on them to
see their sisters settled in life before
taking wives unto themselves. Though
Greek marriages are thus for the most
part marriages de CONVEYANCE, marital
discussions are extremely rare, espe-
cia1ly among the upper and middle
classes. Greek men. besides being
good SOM and brothers, are exemplary
husbands, and the women in their turn
are the most devoted Of wives. Unions
which result in serious incompattbility
of temper or want of sympathy arising
from other unforeseen causes, are occa-
sionally dissolved by a council of eld-
ers, presided ove by the archbishop of
the diocese. The proceedings are kept
strictly private and ell the evidence is
heard in camera, thus avoiding the
scandal attached to divorce cases in
the west.

therefore, as a first step toward i'm
provement, underdrained his land; 1t
was afterward plowed deeply, followed
with a subsoil pillow, stirring up and
pu,verizing to a depth of eighteen
inches or more. This system OF soil

it is applied to high and rolling lands.
in order to prevent the rapid flow OF
rainfall from the surface and washing
of the soil. 1t is now recognized that
draining, in connection with deep cul-
.tivaticn, secures a mor ample and
lasting supply of moisture in dry
times, and maintains the continuous
growth of vegetation during even Sc
we're drOughts. This is we'll exemp.i-
fled in these tea gardens, those on roll
ing grounds showing a verdant color
of leaf equally with those on lower and
richer-looking spots. This conversation
of moisture is further enhanced by a
careful system of surface culture,
which prevents in a great degree the
evaporation of moisture from the up

that. authorities agree that the temper
.ature should lever be lower than 40
degrees Fahrenheit, for although the
plant can survive zero, yet the best
production is obtained from plants
where frost does not prevail. At Pine
hurst Is degrees may be expected dur
ing winter. In regard to moisture, the
profitable production of tea depends
principally upon rainfall or the pres
ence of moisture in the soil. With an
ample supply of water, the plants are
maintained in constant vigor, and the
operation of manufacture proceeds I'M
si~nterruptedly during the whole period
of active growth. In districts favored
with sufficient heat and rains the plants
furnish from fifteen to twenty pickings
yearly. In some parts Of China the
plants are picked four times only. OF

beyond the requisite tenderness, after
which they are not fit for use.
After bestowing much thought upon
methods for the betterment of this
state of affairs, DR.. Shepard matured
plans and put them into execution. and
is SO far we'll pleased with the result.
He built a schoolhouse, a comfortable,
home-like cottage building, having am
pie, well-furnished rooms, containing
all the requisites for teaching. After
engaging a competent teacher, he in
vited the colored families of the neigh
borhood to send their children to his
school free of charge. They would be
taught reading and writing and such
ether accomplishments as are ordinar-
lily taught in primary schools; they
would also be taught to pick tea. and
thus arm to help buy them food and
clothing. This offer was f%avorably re-
ceived and acted upcn.so that DR.. Shep-
ard has a goodly list of scholars, from
which he draws his pickers in numbers
as required.

COMING THE WORDS.
HOW SLANG IMPRESSIONS BE>
COME REAL THINGS. y
Get Grated Into English Despite tbs
scorn and Derision of Scholar
"Cinch." "Come On,' "Essy Mark" ssS
"On the Hos'' Seeking Recognition

Within the last fifty years over 10000
words and phrases have crept into the
English language, some Of them for
but an ephemeral existence, while 9th
ers which were but a short time ago
classed as slang or vulgarisms are to-
day permanent parts Of the language.
Unless the origin Of a slang word Is
known it is almost impossible to tell
how long it has been in use. Many
words originate in n part of the
country, where they may keep their
peculiar significance, but by the time
they have travelled a few hundred
miles they have an entirely different
meaning. The following are a few ex-
amples Of modern slang: "Cinch" for
ed in some game OF business, a good
thing" or an "easy mark for n pc
culiarIy gullible, up against it" and
ION the hog" The phrase ION the
hog,' which mean to- be financially
embarrassed, originated in Chicago
several years ago, when the price Of
pork fell many points on the produce
exchange. OF course many persons
who had bought pork when tt was high
lost considerable money, and it became
common to say. IT hear 8 and 50 lost
money on the hog" "'Con-game" is
another expression Of western birth.
Several years, ago there was a we'll
known card sharper in the west Of the
name Of Connor,. but better known by
his nickname, "Con." His cleverness
at cards became 10: widely known that
any person who was thought to- be par
ticularly sharp at card: playing was
said to be playing a ICON" game. The
word bogus" meaning counterfeit or
false, though commonly used NOW, was
looked upon at one time aB being as
inelegant IN expression as con game IS
today, and it's origin a somewhat
similar. Over hall. a century ago q
mar Of the name of Borghese did a
tremendous business in the way Of
supplying the great; west and portions
of the southwest with counterfeit bills
and bills Of fictitious banks: Western
ers fell into the habit of shortening the
name to Bogus, and his bills, as well as
all others OF: like character, were uni
versally styled by them as bogus cur
rency. The word: lobster has come
into use lately as q contemptuous adj
jective.- This word. acquired the later
day meaning on the, rae course, when
track followers got into the habit OF
saying that a slow horse ran like a
lobster.7-New York Sun.

per stratum of soil. Thus a gain of
moisture equivalent to a fall OF ten or
fifteen inches of rain is secured.
This, although largely a step in over
coming the lack of moisture, has had
the attention Of the department of ag-
riculture and from experiments made
in irrigation by ElWood Mead, expert
in charge of such experiments, has
been further enhanced. Conducted on
the scale of DR.. Shepard's experiments,
the tea gardens net a profit Of ten
cents per pound, or about $40 an acre
may be realized.
In all considerations relating to the
profitable culture of tea in this country
the labor question is another dominant
factor. 1t has seemed impracticable to
compete with the cheap labor Of ORR
entail peoples. and while some Of the
process Of manufacture have been
delegated to machinery, the picking Of
the leaves. requiring discrimination in
selection, has to be. done by hand. At
the lowest. estimate. 1t costs about
