acts and lives of our men and wom
en-.
In all the good things we would see
grow and increase among us, we may
well take heed of the deep-thoughted
value of the saying quoted at the head
of this column; it is the practice which
we see bring forth peace and good
will and lofty endeavor which shall
make converts from out the ranks of
our harassed men and women. who
are taking the false standards of many
of our countrymen as the goal of their
ambitions.
We are daily letting our children
become more and more like recruits in
great army, mere drilled parts of an
obedient whole. rather than thinking
young creatures. freer than ever the
youth of any other nation were before
to use their talents and gifts to great
purposes. The ambition of the time
seems to be centered in reaching a
place where the sons may cease from
toll and the daughters absorb the care
and service of many attending hands
and minds.
A young American has "sold his
birthright for a mess of pottage" when
he has failed to comprehend that he
lives as an exponent of a principle,
and burns with desire to set his in
dividual seal upon what he has re-
ceived as an heritage. The women
who, with their measureless influence,
lend the charm of their voices and the
strength of their approval to the &C
emulation of luxury and the domina-
ton of idle amusement, have and are
doing for the nobility of our race
what the destructive crevass does to
the protecting embankments of a
mighty river. Each in her place, she
is a means of destruction and disin-
tegration.

Afternoon Tea.

"TIlgh tea" Is said to be of American origin. The earliest mention of 1t, ac- cordlng to pr. Murray, goes no further back than 1856 In fact, tea as an aft ernoon meal is not much older. It is thought to have originated in 1887 in the house of Nme. de Circourt, a Rus sian lady, whose sulon in Paris was at that time much frequented by the most intellectual society of the day The fashionable dinner hours were then getting late. and she introduced a 4 o'clock light meal. at which tea was served. Fanny Kemble in Records of a Glrlhood' attributes the introduc- ton of the afternoon meal into this country to the then Duchess of Bed ford. Fanny Kemble paid a visit 10 Belvoir castle in March, 1S42, and she relates how a mysterious invitation was received to the duchess private rooms, where she found a small group of friends partaking of tea in a private and rather shamefaced way, and dates the Q o'clock meal from this time. But 1t was several years later that the prac- tice became generalization Chron- icle.
