Tea" School.

The oldest school in the United
States is now in daily session at Pine
hurst, Summerville. S. c., says the New
York Journal. Uncle Sans paternal
and financial part in the institution
makes 1t of interest to the nation. 1t
is situated in the heart Of the tea lands
about Summerville, and its odd feature
Is the curriculum. Under the super
vision of n competent teacher thirty
South Carolina pickaninnies are
taught the three old fashioned RS
"readin'. 'ritin' and 'r'thmetic"-and
tea picking. And the last is not the
least important study. The rapid de-
velopment of tea raising in the South
has received additional impetus from
the announced intention of Sir Thomas
Upton to invest 100000 in tea cul-
ture in South Carolina. Sir Thomas is
familiar with the soil and climatic
conditions of the state. having at ono
time worked as laborer on a rice
plantation in Georgetown county.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture is taking lively interest
in the tea school," and has given It
financial aid.

this year than ever before" writes Fiji
In letter from Paris to the New York
Commercial Advertiser. "It is not at
all chautelaire to send shop-made i'm
ages to ones friends. and only the
poets and the authors and the painters
send cards now. Ordinary persons
content themselves by posting their
ordinary visiting cards, with few
words of greeting, and perhaps a wee
photograph of the sender placed in one
corner of the card. But if one is

emily. One paints charming little
picture and has it reproduced on as
many cards as one wishes to send
away; or one writes some pretty little
triolets and has them printed in gold
and powdered with diamond dust or
one writes a touching and beautiful
little story suitable for New Years
reading and has 1t printed and bound
for private circulation. All this for
the friends of clever folks. If one is
not a celebrity or the cherished friend
OF celebrity one is forgotten in these
days. But if we have not had New
Years cards we have had skating, and,
as you know, skating in Paris is pic
turesque proceeding always, but es
pecially SO this season, as the 'batons
de velours' (velvet staffs) of the second
empire have been revived, and added
much to the beauty of the scene at the
Horseshoe pond on the Bois de Bou-
logne. These staffs were brought into
use by the poor Empress Eugene when
that exalted unfortunate took her first
lessons in skating. The empress had
two instructors, but etiquette forbade
their holding the hands of their pupil
to guide her uncertain glides over the
ice. NJ. Carter was at that time the
king of skaters, and he invented the
staff, which consisted of a stout rod
covered with wadded velvet. The ends
of the rod We're held by two professors
while the empress, placing her hands
in the center and leaning her weight
upon it, was supported and guided
without having occasion to touch the
skating masters. The staffs have ap-
peared this season in great numbers
and are of all colors, but bright red
and blue predominate. 1t is impos-
siSle, ma chere, to imagine anything
prettier than pretty woman holding
one of these staffs and accompanied by
two beauX cavaliers, gliding birdlikc
