Tea and Effects of Tea-Drinkins.

From the Lancet.
While everyone knows that 1t is wrong
to stew tea, to draw from 1t as much
of its astringent principles as possible,
yet there are few who pay any practical
regard to the warning not to prepare tea
In this way. 1t cannot be too widely
known that not only Is theme the most
essential constituent 70 tea, but also that
1t is almost as quickly soluble In hot
water as is sugar. The making of the
infusion is therefore, complete in few
minutes, and only tea SO prepared Is the
blessed beverage The abuse of tea,
like the abuse of anything else. is, of
course, reprehensible. and the guilty per-
son deserves all the unpleasant symp-
toms which excessive tea drinking or the
drinking of strong-stewed tea sooner or
later brings in its train. The use of plenty
OF milk with tea. 1t may be added is a
wise precaution, and must be regarded as
sound physiological proceeding, since
the proteids of milk destroy astringency
and probably prevent the otherwise In
furious action of tannin on the mueuous
membrane of the stomach. In the intes-
final juice the proteids are separated
and the tannin probably combines with
the sodium salts. The immoderate drink
ing of tea is an unquestionable evil. but
on the whole, we are inclined to think
that the evils of tea-drinking have been
exaggerated. The real difficulty Is to con-
vince people that lightly drawn infusion
gives them their moneys worth.

AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.
Problem Will Have to Be Worked Out
From Start.

In Harpers Magazine for August, II.
w. Nevinson, who was sent by the Maya
zine to Africa to investigate the slave
trade, contributes an Introductory article
which promises a most dramatic and In
teresting series of revelations:
I'm the midst of all these contradict
tons" says Mr.. Nevinson, what Is to be
the real relation of the white races to the
black races? That Is the ultimate prob
lem of Africa. We need not think Ii has
been settled by century's noble enthu-
siasm about the rights of man and
equality in the sight of God.
"Outside a very small and diminishing
circle in England and America, phrases OF
that kind have lost their influence, and
for the men who control the destnies OF
Africa they have no meaning whatever.
Neither have they any meaning for the
native. He knows perfectly we'll that the
white people do not believe them.
"The whole problem Is still before US.
as urgent and as uncertain as 1t has ever
been. It is not solved. What seemed a
solution is already obsolete The prob-
lem will have to be worked through again
from the start Some of the factors have
changed little. Laws and regulations
have been altered. New and respectable
names have been invented. But the real
issue has hardly changed at all. 1t has
become a part of the worldwide issue OF
capital, but the question of African
slavery still abdes
We may, of course, draw distinctions.
The old-fashioned export of human beings
as a reputable and staple industry on a
level with the export OF palm oil, has dis
appeared from the coast. It's old head
quarters were at Lagos. and scattered
about that district and in Nigeria and up
the Congo one can stiff see the remains
of the old barracoons where the slaves
were herded for sale or shipment. In pass
Ing up the rivers you may suddenly come
upon a large square clearing. It Is over
grown now, but the bush Is not so high
and thick as the surrounding forest, and
palms take tho place of the mangrove
trees. Sometimes a little Ju-ju house Is
built by the WI fers edge, with fetishes
inside; and perhaps the natives have
placed 1t there with some dim sense of
expiation. For the clearing is the site of
an old barracoon and misery has conse-
Grated the soil. Such things leave a per-
petual curse behind. The English and the
Portuguese were the largest slave traders
upon the coast, and 1t Is their descendants
who are still paying the heaviest penalty.
But that ancient kind of slave trade may
for the present be set aside The British
gunboats have made 1t so difficult and so
unlucrative that slavery has been driven
to take subtler FORMS against which gun
boats nave hitherto been poweress'

JUSTICE FOR THE FROG.
Governments Plans for Preventing Ex-
termination of the Sweet Singer.

From the Kansas City Journal.
At last the humble and low-browed
frog Is coming into his own. For
years this neglected and more or less
depised amphibian has been social
outcast, unprotected by game laws and
looked upon as a common prey for
man and beast Not being fish, the
frog has had to dodg the red flannel
bait and the dip net twelve months in
the year and not being classified as a
useful animal he has at times been ex-
posed to the target rife and the gig
spear. And when caught for market,
civilization has compromised with it.
self by eating only half of the frog.
While the frog is called upon to give
up Its life as sacrifice to culinary
exigencies, 1t must sit calmly by, as 1t
were, and suffer the humiliation of
seeing only its hind legs nesting IN
the garniture of watercress and garlic.
But the great Importance of the frog
to science, literature, and the arts Is
becoming recognized. For some time
the regeneration of the tail Of the tad
pole, SO often ruthlessly amputated by
the dragon fly and other aquatic enc
niles, has served highly physiological
purposes in exempliying the process Of
tissue reformation. The classic and
painless class room demonstration
showing by means of microscope the
circulation OF the blood In the frogs
foot Is similar to all. The response
of frog muscle to stimuli led the great
Galvani to the discovery OF dynamical
or voltaio electricity.
In literature the master minds OF
all letters have paid feeling tribute to
the frog. His gentleness and gratitude,
his docllity and tractability have ap-
pealed to the most serious thinkers.
Recently the United States fish COM
mission decided to investigate the vir-
| tues of the frog and take measures Tor
| his protection and propagation. The
preliminary researches of the experts
show Missouri to be the greatest frog
producing State In the union. The Mis-
souri, frog, like the Missouri mule, has

| security, not Haunting itself nor putting
I'D with pride The Missouri frog, also
like the Missouri mule, is noted for his
depth of lung and strength of limb. In
the southern part of the state the
primeval swamps echo to the rhythmic
calls of millions of bullfrogs. tits to
be hoped that the government viii use
all reasonable expedition in safeguard
ing the interests of the Missouri frog.
He certainly is worthy of such tardy
recognition and the time may not be
far distant when the fruitful frog Will
take rank with the helpful hen as an
element of wealth production in this
state
