it has not been so very long since
Chinese tea was luxury not easily
accorded in the remoter rural districts
of our country, and recourse was had
habitually to native herbs or shrubs

too, in the stormy days preceding the
| American Revolution, when the colon
lists were in a turmoil over the stamp

it was considered unpatriotic to drink
tea that had paid tribute to the Gov

This. no doubt. was made from a va

four-leaved loosestrife. a plant that is
abundant in almost every woodland.
1t grows foot or two high and may be
recognized by its simple upright stem
upon which the leaves are set III whorls
of four, or sometimes five. the yellow
starlike flowers being on long slender
stalks from near the base of the leaves.
During the Revolution the native
leaves most extensively used for tea
were probably those of the so-called
New Jersey tea-a low bush that grows
everywhere in dry woodlands. An in
fusion of the leaves boils a clear amber
color. and in looks is as attractive as
real tea; but the taste, though astrin-

Tho Crusade in Brief.

Alcoholic insanity is increasing with
great rapidity in Paris.
The chief danger of the drink habit lies
in the insidious inroads which it makes
upon the mind of the deuded victim.
A temperance movement is now making
headway in the universities of Souther1
France-at Toulouse, Montpelier, AK and
Bordeaux.
One of the most conclusive signs of the
rapidly increasing power Of the temperance
forces in this country is the unparalleled
fear manifested in the ranks of the forces
OF intemperance in different quarters Oh
the country.
According to the report of the Philip
pine Commission, 1890 places were licensed
for the sale of intoxicating drinks last year
in Manila.
As part of the warfare which Is being
carried on against intoXicants in France
Prime Minister Combes has inaugurated Q
campaign against the common adulterants

wares and make them more palatable ia

Charles Dickens a Victim.

"The principal reason that Charles
Dickens died at the time he did was that
he was in the habit of using vast amounts
of alcoholic stimulants to keep himself up.
When lecturing in this country he: con-
tinued to drink the amounts that he drank
when in England, regardless of the differ
sat effects of the climates Of the two @
liquors. He appeared to believer was

have lived longer than he did, though tie
moral consequences would haveIs been
worse. Whoever tries to keep himself up
regularly by any stimulant, in the absence
of which he would temporarily collapse,
is nothing more than moral and physical

a dividend out of the principal, or the per-
son whC keeps up appearances of wealth

the proceeds. DIR. James M. Buckley.

the British and American methods

a commercial scale. The leaves are
said to contain nearly ten per cent. of
tannin. Hemlock leaves and those Of
the arbor vitae have also played part
in the making Of rustic tea. The arbor
vitae is tree that grows wild in great
abundancy in northern woods. and the
old-time Maine lumbermen used fire.
Quently to resort to its leaves for tea
when other herbage failed for the pur-
pose.
The little plant whose scarlet berries
about the size Of peas are sold under
the name Of teaberries by fruit venders
on our city streets, is another herb
which was long ago turned to use for
tea, whence the common name by
which we know it in Pennsylvania.
New Englanders for some unknown
reason call it checkerberry. The foli-
age is very aromatic and people who
are fond of dash of spiciness in their
drink have sometimes employed its
flavor in real tea.
Better known as tea plant than
the snowberry is the Labrador tea,
or Ledum latifolium of botanists,
which grows in cold bogs and noun
tain woods from Pennsylvania north
ward. The leaves, which emit slight,
not unpleasant fragrance when bruised,
are tough and leathery, and densely
clothed underneath with rusty brown
wool. STEPPED they give wild, gamy
