Packing Tea by Hand.

Although Ceylon is the greatest
t%ea.grOwing country in the world,
up to this time the entire product
has been packed by hand. One
man who has large tea interests
in Ceylon has just perfected a ma.
chine for packing the tea in small
packages. 1t is stated that tea
put up in this way, especially if en-.
cased in tinfoil, will retain it's fla
vor much longer than when put up
in large quantities. The machine
and one man will pack 3Opackages
in a minute, and the tea is so
handled that the tea is not broken
as when packed by the hand
method. Several of these ma.
chimes are now being installed on
the tea property of this planter

Effects of Right-E yedness.

The majority os men and WON
en-, according to DR.. George M.
Gould, r not only right-handed,
but right-eyed; that is, the right
eye sees better than the left.
From this flow some curious re-
suits, For instance, right-eyed-
ness explains why, in the develop
ment of violin-playing, the difficult
and rapid lingering was allotted
to the less expert left hand, while
the easy bowling fell to the dex-
trOus right hand. The reason, as
DR.. Gould thinks, is because the
ordinary position of the violin is
such that the right eye most read
lily sees the motions and positions
of the fingers on the strings. In
a similar way the right eye com.
pels the more awkward left hand
to direct the gun barrel, while the
right has simply to hold the trig-
ger. In chopping, the weaker left
arm has to direct and enforce the
blow, while the stronger right
plays a subordinate part for the
convenience of the right eye.-Sci-

Safe Way to Store Furs.

"Pawnbrokers are gradually be.

way" said the manager of a stor.

furs or silverware they want to
put away for the summer are get
ting into the habit of going to the
pawnbrOker with them, instead of
coming to us. In that way they
save the cost of storage, except
for the interest on the loan, and
have the use of the money at the
same time. 1t is not necessary for
them to go to the pawnshOps. Out
side men are employed in that
business who will call at their
home in response to a postal card.
As a rule these women never ask
for large amounts. Nor will they
admit that their furs are in pawn.
They call it storing. But they get

In Korean Society.

Good society in Korea has many
curious customs. One of these is
that widows must not remarry.
No widow in the really Smart set"
would ever dream of remarrying,
however young she may be or how
ever soon the death of her hus-
band may have followed her we'd

no means an unmixed blessing to
the woman, so perhaps perpetual
widowhood might not be objec-
tionable if it were not for the ne
cessity of perpetually wearing
mourning for the departed. This
means that during the whole of
her life she is limited to blue, black

ABOUT THE INcAs or PERU.
Wise and Just Civic Administration
Discouraged Crime Among
the People.

When the Spanish first invaded
Peru the government of the Incas
was in a aOurishing condition
there. 1t is said to have been the
most enlightened despOtism that
ever existed and about the near
est approach to a Utopia that has
yet been reached by any people.
There was allOttedtOeach man free
of charge a dwelling site and ex-
tended area of land for him to cul-
tivate for the maintenance of his
family. The surplus of products
from this tract, left over from the
immediate needs of the owner,
was given as a tribute to the Inca
government and used for re
ligious, charitable and other pur-
poses at the sovereign city Of
CuzcO. Under the wise and just
civic administration crime and
public corruption and theft were
not known. In CuzcO a resident
with 100 bars of silver and gold
piled up in his house left it wide
open, only placing a small stick
across as a sign that the master
was Out-and nobody went in.
All the tribe was divided into
numerous clans. The powers OF
administration were centered in
the elective dignitaries, a military
leader and the head of the re
EligiOus system. There was also +
council of chiefs. None of these
Offices was hereditary and they
could not be occupied by sons un
less they were specially chosen fol
the position. The succession o.
the chief Inca did not fall upon tn,
shoulders of his child. This wa
due to the clan organization
which governed the affairs o
state. Inheritance was by mother
right. A man could not marry
woman of his own clan, but had t,
select one from another. This wa.
the main unit for holding the trib.
together.
Woman had no voice in the pull
