AUSTRALIAN TEA DRINKERS.
Drink the Brew All Day Long and at Q Strength That Would Seem
 to Be Poisonous.

Tn the interior of Australia all the men drink tea. They drink it all day long, and in quantities and at strength that would seem to be poisonous. On Sunday morning the teamaker, starts with a clean pot and q clean record. The pot is hung over the fire with 8 sufficiency of water in it for the days brew, and when this has been boiled he pours into it enough of the fragrant herb to pro- duce a deep, coffee colored liquid.
 On Monday, without removing yes terday's tea leaves, he repeats the process; on Tuesday da capo and on Wednesday da capo, and so on through the week. Toward the close of it the great pot is filled with an acrid mash of tea leaves, out of which the liquid is squeezed by the pressure of tin cup.
 By this time the tea is of the color of rusty iron, incredibly bitter and disagreeable to the uneducated pal ate The native calls it '1real good old post and rails the simile being obviously drawn from a stiff and dangerous jump, and regards it as having been brought to perfection.

HATS MADE OF RICE STRAW.
A New Industry About to Be RstRb- liahed by Japanese Tn the
 Southern States.


 According to Col. S. F. B. Morse, gen. eral traffic manager of the Southern Pacific railroad, the Japanese colony at Port Lavaca will establish a plant for the manufacture of mating and hats from rice straw, says the New Orleans Times-Democrat. The Japan ese are the pioneer rice growers of the world, and cultivate the staple on more scientific basis than the Ameri- can farmer. In Japan every product of the rice crop is utilized to some pur- pose, while in the United States the planter relies entirely upon the rice proper for his home.
 ''The Japanese of Port Lavaca," said Col. Morse, twill soon begin the manu- facture of Japanese mating and the finest of hats from rice straw, and it is only question of time till our own rice planters in Texas and Louisiana will take up this industry, thus making the south the center of supply for mat ting and straw hats of the finest tex ture and manufacture. The best mat tings in the world are made in Japan, while the high grades of the rice straw hats are known the world over. There are several kinds of grass growing along the gulf, so the Japanese tell me, that can be utilized for making mat ting of good grade. They tell me it is identical with that used in Japan for this purpose, and there is no reason why this should not become a paying industry in Louisiana and Texas"

PEKING, May 30.--Paul Lessar, the Russian miSister, has returned her after visit to St. Petersburg. No rad ical action regarding Manchuria is ex- pected, but the course of events indi- cates that Russia will enforce her pol icy there notwithstanding China's formal refusal to grant her demands. The attempt to open new towns in Manchuria to foreign trade is likely to fail. The diplomats are watching this feature of the situation eagerly as being test of Russia's influence. The Chinese continue to oppose the pro posal. representing that they never in- tended to do so, and they add that un- der the present circumstances it Is par. EicuIarly undesirable.

Tn proof of it we tell what those who have used it say.
 MT. Patrick Nolan, of No. I28 Railroad Avenue, Bridge port, Conn, ,says: "To any one troubled with any form. of ir- ritation of the skin, I can with confidence recommend Doan's Ointment. I was for a long time bothered with a persistent irritation on my body, and none of the many preparations and ointments I used did me any good until l procured Doan a Ointment at a Drug Store and applied it. It was so soothing and healing, and acted so promptly that felt relief from the first, and improved steadily. It is the best remedy for ir- ritation of the skin there is on the market. '
 Just such emphatic endorse, ment can be had right here in Waterbury. Drop into Lakes drug store and ask what hia customers report.

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women, old and young, rich and poorssuffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch- ing, protruding or bleeding. It is also a safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment is a pleasant, harmless and abso- lutely sure remedy for all itch ing diseases of the skin.

THE UTILITY or UNIONS.

ta Debate to Be Held in Stamford
 Soon
 Down in Stamford there Is consid. erable agitation over the question of unionism, and as a result of the pro- position of labor leaders to unionize one of the large manufactories in that city a debate will be held at. which the questions for and against will be argued.
 The organization of workingmen has caused no end of discussion in Stafn- ford. and 1t has got to that point where people are taking sides on the question: So sincere are the people of Stamford in their various opinions on the subject. that when the Brotherhood of St Paul, an organization connected with the Methodist Episcopal church of Stamy ford, made a proposition that the mat ter be settled by debate, both sides, at once consented. Now, not only are. the people. of Stamford interested. but, union men everywhere are watching the proceedings.
 At a, meeting of those interested re- gently 1t was decided that the union mems side shall be represented by Presient Donahue of the American EeuerAIlOn OI IhDOIs dHu AaW9 SAss and that the other side shall be repre- sented by leading manufactures and q lawyer.
 The debate will be held in the Meth- odist church of Stamford on Thursday. June II. The American Federation ofi Labor has secured the services of Att torney C.. J. Danaher of Meriden toI represent their cause with President Donahue at the debate Who will rep resent the other side has not been an nounced.
 It goes without saving that thea church will be well filled that evening. Being near New York the little cityl contains very many wealthy people,l and public opinion on the question Isl very much divided. But with all there is only the friendliest of feeling pre- vailing, A number of out of town peo-I ple will also attend.
