TennySOn'S Memory,

Tennyson when a young man had a

and Burns as the two greatest lyric
poets of any age or country. He much
loved some of Burns poetry. But be-
fore all Tennyson placed his Bible. He
had also a great liking for Dante's TN

would boast in his pleasant way that
if any one read one line he could give.

Tl4E TARTAR CUE.
Said to Be Worn Out OF Gratitude

Said to Be Worn Out OF Gratitude
to the Horse.
Herbert Allen Giles in China and
the Chinese says that there are
strange misconceptions as to the mean
really been worn by that nation for
only about $50 years.
It was imposed by the MantchCo Tar
tars, the present rulers of China, as Il
badge of conquest. Previous to 1644
the Chinese clothed themselves and
dressed their hair like the modern Jap
anese-that is, like the japanese who
still wear what is incorrectly known
as the beautiful native dress of ia
pam" AS matter Of fact, the Japan
csc borrowed their dress as we'll as
their literature, philosophy and early
art from the Chinese. The Japanese
dress is that Of the Ming period in
China, 1868 to 1914
But where did the Mantchoo Tar
tars get the cue? They depended as q
race almost for their existence upon
the horse. The accepted theory is that
out Of gratitude and respect for his
noble ally the Tartar, SO far as he
T. could took on himself the equine form
and grew q cue in imitation of a
horses tail. This somewhat grotesque
theory might fall to the ground save
that it is supported by striking evil
dence.
Official coats as seen in China at the
present day are made with peculiar
sleeves, shaped like q horses leg and
ending in an unmistakable hoof, COW
ering the hand, which are known as
Horseshoe sleeves" Incased therein
a Chinaman's arms look much like a
horses fore legs. The tail completes
the picture.

Coffee chewing" says Il doctor, sis
a habit easily contracted, for the taste
Of the crisp roasted berries is not I'M
pleasant, and the exhilaration, the slim
illus, that the berries give is quite as
marked as that which would be obtain
ed from a glass or two of beer or from

cit is this exhilaration, | am convinc-
ed, that causes the habit to be formed
and that makes it hard habit to break
away from. It should be broken away
from. Its effects are highly injurious.
They are more injurious than those of
tobacco chewing.

nerves, it makes the skin salloW and it
destroys the appetite. [ have had &C.

Seeing Snakes.

Persons suffering from delirium ire
mems usually imagine that they are
surrounded by snakes. An explanation
of this hallucination, says the Family
Doctor, is offered by the result Of some
recent experiments. Sixteen alcoholic
patients were examined with the oph-
kaleidoscope, and it was found that the
minute blood vessels in the retina Of
their eyes were congested. In this con-
dition they appear black and are pro-
jected into the field of vision, where
their movements resemble the squirm-
ing Of serpents.

method of breathing, as given
by a specialist who has made an
exhaustive study of the subject:
First-After retiring at night,
release the body and mind from
all tension, and take full regular
inhalations through your nos
trils; hold the breath aboutone
second; take all the time you
can to exhale it; keep this up
until you are weary or fall
a leep. Second-When you
wake in the morning, repeat the
exercises at least for five min-
utes; longer, if time permits.
Third-During the day, take as
many long aspirations as pos
sible, exercising care with the
exhalations. While taking these
exercises, one should bear in
mind the thought that he is in
haling new life and power.
