FREAK HOUSES.
Dwellings In Which Ladders TOOK
the Place of Stafrways.

Years ago a story was told of q naval
officer who wantel a house built to
please his own taste in every detail,
He drew the plans himself, placed them
in the hands of a builder and instructed
him to see that they were carried out in
every detail. Then he went to sea fol
q years cruise. When he returned
home the house had been completed
with the utmost regard for the plans
and specifications left by the officer.
He was taken through the first fool
and expressed the utmost pleasure In
everything he saw.
Now" he said, I'VE will go upstairs
and see the second floor"
"Come right out this way where we
have a ladder" replied the builder.
The seafaring man was astonished.
He had planned the house with tho
greatest care, but forgot to provide for
q stairway.
The story of the naval officer has
never had u certificate of g%enuineness
which Il house has been built without
q stairway is on record in Washington.
1t finally became the home of the late
John Boyle. who was for many years
chief clerk of the navy department and
who died In 1854. leaving a large es.
tate. The house in question stood on
the site nov occupied by q brewery be-
low the naval observatory. 1t was 1,
~prrtentious old mansion, located ia
what was a very stylish section during
the days of the elder John Eoyle, who
came to this country In the early years
of the nineteenth century. The record
is not clear as to why the house was
constructed without a staircase, but
there is no doubt about the fact

In old stngeconch DAYS.

There used to be rate wars in the
old stagecoach days in England. At
one time, early last century, one stage
coach company not only cut the price
from Lewes to London to a very low
rate, but gave also other inducements.
AS the coach started from Lewes at
a somewhat uncOmfortably early hour
in the morning, byiway of tiding over
the difficulty the prOprietors allowed
the more slothful of their passengers
to go overnight to Brighton, where
they were accommodated with good
beds free of expense and could proceed
comfortably to London by the COM
panys morning coach.

FIRST USE OF TEA.
An Ancient Legend Ascribes 1t to a
King of China.

An Ancient Legend Ascribes 1t to a
King of China.
By whom or when the use of tea for
drinking purposes was first discovered
is lost in antiquity. 1t is spoken of as
a famous herb in Chinese literature as
far back as 1000 years B. c., at which
time its cultivation and classification
were almost as thorough and complete
as .hey are today. One of the ancient
legends says that it's virtues were ac-
cidentally learned by King Shen Nung
She, the Chinese monarch who is also
known as the divine husbandman,"
who, the record says, fiourished forty
centuries ago. He was engaged in boil
ing water over a fire made of the
branches of the tea plant and careless
ly allowed some of the leaves to fall
into the pot.
/ The liquid which he expected to come
from the vessel simply as sterilized
water was miraculOusly converted into
an elixir of life by the accidental ad-
dition of the tea leaves. Soon after it
became highly esteemed in all the Ori-
entail cities and was used as a royal
gift from the Chinese mOnarchs to the
potentates of southern and western
Asia.
This same King Shen Nung She not
only earned the title of respect by
which he was known through the dis
covery of the virtues of tea, but be-
cause of being the first to teach his
people how to make and use plOws and
many other implements of husbandry.

TRlCOLOR AND COCKADE.
Origin of the HistOric Red, White
and Blue Of France.


and Blue Of France.
Some seventy or eighty years before
France was involved in the flames of
the revOlutiOn-that Is, at the epoch of
the war of the succession when she
was in close alliance with Spain and
Bavaria-it was thought desirable to
distinguish the allied soldiers by a
cockade which combined the cOlors of
the three natiOns-the white of France,
the red of Spain and the blue of Ba-
varia.
To none of such incidents, however,
would it be wise to attribute the origin
Of the historic tricOlOr and cOckade
adopted by revolutionary France At
the outset there seemed a likelihood
that green, which Camille Desmoulins
had pOpularized at the Palais Royal,
would have become the national color,
but men remembered in time that it
was that of the livery of the Comte
d'ArtOis. the most unpopular of the
Bourbon princes, and it was thereupon
discarded.
A proposition was then made to as
sumo the cOlors of the city of Paris
blue and red. as Dumas reminds us in
his six Ans Apres." To these was
added the white of so many glorious
memories, because it had been selected
10y the national ,guard-always faithful
T. the throne and its traditions
Not until some months after the cap
ture of the Bastille was the tricolOr
definitely adopted, when Bailly and
Lafayette presented it to Louis XVI. in
the great hall of the Hotel de Vile, and
the convention issued a decree in which
it was~deScribed as consisting of three
colOrs-"dispOsees en- trOis bandeS
egales, de maniere que lie bleu soft at
tache a In garde du pavilion, le blanc
au milieu, ct lie rouge fiottant dams les
airs''-that is, in equal vertical sec
tions, with the blue inward, the red
outward and the white between.
This is the historic flag which Ma
poleOn's legiOns, in conjunction with
their eagles, bore VIGOROUSLY from the

THE AFTERNOON NAP.
Modern Conditions Killing the Sies-

Modern Conditions killing the Stes-
ia Habit In Mexico.
There are people in Mexico City who
take their afternoon nap every day,
and are greatly benefited thereby. but
their number appears to be growing
less year by year. Whether the siesta
is beneficial or not, or whether in this
high altitude it is a necessity for many
persons, as is claimed by some, its
death knell as general custom seems
to have been sounded since the city
adopted its modern enterprise and
push. Many old residents will tell you
of the time when a person in the city
of Mexico would have been considered
almost crazy if he neglected his after
noon rest. but gradually, with the ad-
vent of the railways, the street cars
and the electric lights, came the in
evitable sleeplessness which is one of
the most noticeable characteristics of
modern civilization.
There are several supporters of the
siesta idea in this city who express re-
gret that the custom appears to be
passing away. These persons, who are
themselves devotees of the practice,
claim that it is a healthful and nerve
restoring habit and that if it were in
dulged in Systematically by the people
