Both Learned Their Lessons.

When Mr.. George Roberts was pres
ident of the Pennsylvania railroad,
says the New York Times, he had an
experience with a train conductor in
which each learned a lesson.
The conductor, who knew Mr. Rob
erts, walked by him with a nod and
without calling for his ticket.
Here, conductor! said the president
sharply. ''You have not looked at my
pass
"But know who you arc" said the
conductor.
THAT has nothing to do with It." re-
piled the president. Il might be tray
cling without it. I am entitled to ride
free only when l have the evidence of
my IDENTITY"
lie spoke sharply, thinking he was
giving the conductor fine lesson in
duty.
Ticket, pleasew said the conductor
sharply, nettlcd at the Gliding.
That's right" said the president and
began to feel in his pockets for his
pass. He went through pocket after
pocket in n vain search, while the CON
ductor stood looking grimly on.
Come. come" said the conductor
'lf YOU haven't ticket, sir, you must
pay your fare"
President Roberts made q last hasty
examination and then, taking a five
dollar bill from his wallet, paid his
fare from Philadelphia to New York
and the incident was closed He had
left his pass in his office.

He WOUldn't Disturb Prayer,

On recent sunday morning while
services were going on, little Jack
COnant, aged six Years, saw tiny
flame issuing from the roof Of the
Methodist Episcopal church at Osce-
ola. lie ran to the church to give the
alarm. When he entered, the preacher
was praying. Being too rcvcront to
interrupt prayer. the little man step
ped outside the door and waited until
he heard the minister say Amen"
Then he ran in and yelled Fire"
The grOwnup people We're not so
deliberate or rcyercnt as little Jack.
They leaped from their knees, forget
ting all about the solemnity of the oc-
casion. and ran for their lives.
BY hard work the church was saved
but if the parsons prayer had been n
little longer 1t would have burned to
the ground.-Kansas City Journal.

Sir Edwin Arnold.

It is said that during his journalistic
life the late Sir Edwin Arnold wrote
10000 leaders. About the peroration
OF leader he was rs careful as an
orator over his maiden speech.
Concerning his poctical powers his
countrymen are becoming frank, now
that he is no longer where his feelings
can be hurt. one of them thinks that
he was a true poet spoilt-"spoilt by
the rush OF obligations that flow from
our crowded modern life; spoilt, too, by
lions permit the man who has made
one popular success to follow it up.

A DEADLY MINE.
Poisonous Gases and Precious Metal
In Philippine valley.

i he famous valley VI l'edtu III INC
island of Mindanao. in the Philippines,
has at last been compelled TO give up
the rich treasure which for ages it has
successfully guarded by Its pail of
death dealing gases. This valley
which, true to It's name, has dealt
death to many venturesome searchcr
for the precious metal, Is located in the
mountain Businesses Of the island, and
according to the theories of scientists,
it is the crater of what was once n
great and violent volcano. Volcanic
gases Of most poisonous nature still
rise from the depths of the valley and
hang over 1t like pail, never passing
away and many natives who have at
tempted TO go down into the valley
from the mountains say that never be-
fore has any man who vcntured into
its unknown depths rcturacd to tell Of
its secrets. The distance across the
valley is only a few miles, but the bot
tom of it is constantly concealed from
view by the dense cloud of poisonous
vapor overhanginE it.
An American named Rudy formed a
party Mt Manila, consisting of himself
and two other Americans, and, employ
ing three native guides, proceeded to
the mountains inclosing the valley,
where one of the Americans with the
guides was left In charge of the outfit
while the other two entered the valley
with their heads completely covered
with an apparatus similar to that worn
by divers. Carrying on their backs
small tanks Of compressed dir for
breathing purposes, SO as to avoid in
haling the deadly vapors, the men
worked in the valley for months, carry
ing sackful after sackful of gold bear
ing sand and gravel up the mountain
side. This work was continued until
both were almost worn out from the
depressing work and the fumes Of
which they were forced to breathe a
portion, but never once could any of
the natives he persuaded to venture
beyond the outer circle Of the poison
Gus gases.
Many Americans have made previous
attempts to go down into the valley.
but none was ever before successful
in doing much work there. For years
natives living in the island exhibited
large and valuable nuggets of gold
which they claimed were taken from
the edges of Death valley, but never
have their statements been substan-
tiated until the success of the daring
attempt made by Mr.. Rudy's party.
The recent undertake ing Is considered
as merely a trip of investigation. and
Mr.. Rudy expects to return 10 the
islands next winter, taking with him
a complete apparatus for COMPRISING
air, when he will organize party suf-
ficicntly large to thoroughly explore
and work all that portion of the valley
which promises rich returns in gold

TEAS THAT ARE
WORTH FORTUNES
Twelve Hundred Kinds Are In China's
Show at the Worlds Fairs--The Most
POpuloGs Nation OF the World For
the First Time Makes an Exhibit
Worthy of Her Greatness.

Many expositlons of stupendous char
acter make up the Worlds Fair OF
1904. Each part is vast and distinct
show. Each building shelters many
acres Of wonderful thlngs-wonderful
because they are the choicest Of their
kind. Every nation on the globe is
represented Every state and territory
Is here with its best and making the
most Of its greatest opportunity.
The fact that China has not been a
large exhibitor Mt worlds fairs gives
to her great exhibit here prominence
quite exceptional. 1t is wonderland
of ingenious productions We know
China best by reason of her extensive
exports of teas, which have found a
vast market in the United States for
generations. Her commercial interests
therefore prompted her to make a dis
play of teas that we should not for
get.
In scaled glass jars China displays in
the Liberal Arts Palace some 1900
kinds Of tea. Young TIyson and Old
Tyson have string Of tea relations
longer than the genealogical chain of n
Plymouth Rock. They are neatly So
lected "chops,' in the language of the
tea farmer, and these classes do not
embrace medicinal teas. which are
quite another lot in the rather modest
number Of 400
The teas exhibited vary in price from
few cents a pound TO some rare and
exclusive kinds that are worth their
weight in gold. the tea in the latter
cases being placed on one side of the
scales and pure gold on the other
that IL to say. the tea Of this expensive
kind is worth about $50 gold an ounce.
only a very small quantity Of this ex-
elusive leaf is exhibited, and it IS
grown in carefully guarded tea planta-
tions or gardens right under the shad-
ows Of the great wall Of China. Its cul-
tlyaton Is prohibited for any use save
for the imperial family of China and n
few of the favored high officials.
Mention has been made of the word
chop" in competition with tea, and it
may be interesting 10 the everyday
reader to know what the word actually
signifies. The tea leaf is grown in va
rious districts of the Chinese empire on

4 Defense of SLANG.

So far from being an evidence of
national levity and lack of seriousness,
slang is the language of sincerity. II
Is the result OF an instructive effort to
get as far away as possible from every
thing like pretentiousness. 1t is tho
anupodes OF bathos. 1t is the Ian.
guage of the whole people. because it
is expressive OF the national sense OF
humor that is never so keen ms when
1t contemplates with a joy likewise
unutterablc the spectacle presented by
fake exposed. 1t is blunt, it is crude.
1t is brutal sometimes, but it is always
sincere. 1t directs against the citadels
of evil the mighty enginery of laugh
ter. 1t does for our nascent abuses
what the mordant satire of Martial and
Juyenal failed to do for decadent

Charles Kingsley wrote the Three
Fishers" as result of the many sad
sights he had seen at Clovelly. One
day of horror in particular lived in his
memory, a day, as he described f.
when the Old bay lay darkencd with
the gray columns of the waterspouts.
stalking across the waves before tho
northern gale. and the tiny herring
boats fleeing from their nets right for
the breakers, hoping more mercy even
from those iron walls OF rock than
from the piuiess bowling waste of
spray behind them. and that merry
beach beside the town covered with
shricking women and old men. casting
themselves on the pebbles in fru!tless
agonies of prayer us corpse after
corpse swept up at the feet of wife ant
child, till in one case alone a single
dawn saw upward of sixty widows and
orphans weeping over those who had
gone out the night before in the full
ness of strength and courage These
scenes lived ever in his mind.
But the Three Fishers was writer
as a result of one of the strangest incl
dents in the stormy career OF tina
preacher-author In 1851 he preached
a sermon in London church on The
Message of the Church 10 the Laborins
Man. At its close the vicar rose and
denounced him. Bishop Bloomfield for
babe Kingsley to preach again In his
diocese until having read the sermon
and seen Its author, he withdrew the
edict. The same night upon which he
delivered his discourse Kingsley went
TO his home weary. There had nearly
been a riot in the church. Sick ut
heart, he retired To his study. When
ne reappeared he handed to his family
his immortal song, las though it were
the outcome of IL ALL" us his wife said.

large areas OF ground which are often
mistaken for single plantations THIS
is hardly ever the case, as the large
tracts are very often owned hy hun
dreds Of different men, whose ndtvid-
ual plots Of ground bearing the tea
plants are carefully mapped out, so
that each individual owner may cult
vate and pick his own crop of tea
Each owner likewise markets his own
tea and puts his own special mark, or
chop" on the packages. Hence the
term chop signifies an individual
growth or picking OF tea by one owner
In an area of tea land Of, say a thou
sands acres. all apparently under one
ownership, there may be some forty,
fifty or more owners Of the plantation
and consequently like number Of
CHOPS" of tea.
1t must not be imagined that all these
different owners Of the tea get the
same price for their commodity far
from il. as each of these individual tea
growers has his own secrets for i'm
proving the quality and flavor of tea.
Take, for instance, the Annoy and Flu
chau districts, whence most of the tea
for the United States comes. The own
FRS Of chops Of tea varying from 10
70 200 chests of 56 pounds each bring
samples Of their goods to the various
foreign merchants for sale. These lat
ter turn the Chinese tea growers over
TO the good Offices Of the foreign or
American professional tea faster, who
passes on the goods as to price. The
tea faster has the samples infused not
boiled in his presence and passes upon
the quality, flavor, twang and manner
or curing, fixing a price accordingly,
from which there is never any varia-
ton and which the tea grower must ac-
rept or go elsewhere to dispose Of his
wares In n single tract of tea land
like the one cited above the price has
ranged from Ia cents, the lowest, to
4S1a cents, the highest, per pound
among sixty-one different tea produ-
rers. A matter of great moment TINT
also figures in the price OF tea is
that very often tea from the same dis
trct will have the various chops"
blended together in order to produce
special flavors.
