The amendment to the constitution
providing for the taxation of mort
cages and deeds of trust. common
~ called the Third Amendment,
will be rc-submittcd to the people
at the next general election. This
was decided today, after one of the
most spirited and ably conducted
debates of the session. \ large
number of Kansas City and st
Louis real estate men and repre-
sentativcs of eastern capital have
worked hard t. bring about the
re- submission. They were only
successful because large number
of the best men in the House and
Senate were convinced of the con-
fusion that would cnsue if the
measure were to remain part of
the organic law of the State. Al
most an equal number of equally
honest and sincere members, how
ever, favored giving the new pro-
vision trial before again asking
the people to pass upon it.

A QUESTION OF TEA.
Some Reasons why the CeyIon Product

The troubles in China ana the blood
thirsty massacrcs that have occurred
have done much to bring the tea Ques-
ton prominently before the American
people Every one who knows the ma
tive Chinaman as he really is, knows
that he IS n sharp and INSCRIPTIONS
trader, and it has been matter of
common report for years that the teas
shipped from China to this country
were either OF the most inferior variety
or teas that hau been "doctorcd' after
having been used once. In this COnneC-
ton the following from one of the best
known English 'pers: THE heather
Chinee, who is nothing If not eConoml-
cal, has an ingeniously simple method
of eating his Cakc-or, rather, in the
Celestial transli ION, drinking his tea
He drinks the delicate first infusion
and then dries the leaves again, packs
them in those mysteriously lettered
boxes we know, and exports them to
the western barbarian, who, he has
found out likes his tea strong and
stewed. 1t is true that the fannie acid
apt to come out of the leaf in the Sec
ond infusion may iniure the American
stomach, but John cares for none Of
those things-hc knows the beauty and
profit of the adultcration." The rea-
son why the outlet for the pure and
unadultcrated machine made tea of
Ceylon and India in this country has
been somewhat limited heretofore is
that only small percentage Of our
people use black tea. Having gathered
in a very large proportion of these
black-tCa drinkers, the growers of Cey-
lon and India saw the necessity of ca
tering to the trade of green-tea drink
ers, and they are now producing on a
large scale uncolurcd green tea of deli

green teas of China. Now that pure
green tea is at the disposal Of lovers of
tea, not only the fact that the Ccylon
and India green is a better tea, but the
natural rcpugnance of our people to
Chinese methods should bring about
a revolution in the tea trade. and, in
all probability. 1t will not be long be-
fore Ccylon and India greens will dis
place China greens, as have the black
teas OF the former taken the place OF

Satan'S Abode.

Chicago, March 3.-"Thc abode
of Satan is the planet Saturn,
where he is now and has for years
been preparing for his final Strug-
gle with God and the archangclS.
"This struggle will begin in the
latter part of 1880, being the cc-
lcstial struggle witnessed 10y the
evangelist and described in the
Book of Revelations, and Satan
will be- hurled out of Saturn to the
earth, where the final struggle for
his ultimate and perpetual subju-
cation will be- fought"
Such was the assertion of John
II. Fulton, NJ A., from Edinburgh
University, and at one time pro-
cSsor of Oriental languages in the
Royal University of Athens and
the Imperial University of Vienna.
Mr.. Fulton is now preparing II
book, the result of long continued
scientific research, and which he
contends will upset many fixed
ideas of the Bible and its tranSla-
ton.
1t is not to be inferred, however,
that Mr.. Fulton is in the remotest
degree Il skeptic as to biblical
truths. On the contrary, he is Il
firm believer III the Christian faith
as founded upon the Bible.
