JUST TEA LEAVES.
The Spectacle They Present Under
Powerful Microscope.

The Spectacle They Present Under
Powerful Microscope.
"Have a look" said the histologist
And he rose from the beautiful, deli.
cate microscope, and his companion
took his place.
There was little fd6ling and ad-
justing of tiny screws. Then the
tyro said:
ugh! CHASTITY! What have we here
"a railroad wreck"
you are looking" answered the his
tologist Eat part of the remains Of a
Ceylonese caterpillar"
He withdrew that slide and put an
other in its place.
Another tragedy?' the tyro asked.
1.-The remnants Of BEETLE" the his
tologist replied.
A third slide was placed beneath the
lens.
"This," said the tyro, should be a
battlefield"
1T is only" returned the scientist, "a
commingling of the desiccated frag-
ments Of fly, a centiped, a moth and
slug"
The tyro yawned.
Histology is interesting" he said In
a bored voice. where did you get
these specimens
"Out Of packet of tea
"a packet of tea? What kind of
tea?" .:
Ordinary tea."
Heavens! 1 am q tea drinker. Elk.
plain yourself"
The histologist, smiling, said:
Tea grows on bushes. The leaves
are plucked by hand. Imagine your.
self stripping rosebush after rosebush
miles on miles, of their leaves. Well,
that Is what tea picking is like. 49,
The native pickers work fast They
pick as many as twenty-five pounds OF
leaves day-a bundle bigger than q
man.
Nov, the tea plant is the prey of q
hundred insects, and the picker in his
haste doesn't pause to brush off each
leaf or to wash it, for he works, as W.
say, by piece work.
1.-THE picked leaves are dried on char
coal fires. They shrivel under the heat
and the insect, larvae and chrysalids
among them change to dust. This dust
looks to the ordinary eye like leaf frag
ments, but under the microscope II
looks. as you remarked, like an insect
railroad wreck or a pygmy battlefield
1t tastes like-but you know as we'll al
do what 1t tastes like"

here to examine with you."-New Yorl

Times are not dull: there is abun-
dance of news; and yet there creeps
into the papers rumor of impending
crinoline. 1t comes from London,
from Paris, from Chicago, from Pitts
burg-that is, the rumor comes, but
crinoline doesn't, and won't. The
evil-doers who invent fashions would
be glad to- distribute any new fashion
that made women's clothes cost more
and require more material, and that
made all gowns now in use or in stock
look hopelessly out of date. Fashions
are changed in order to sell goods.
They are changed just as much and
just as often as the traffic will bear.
The fashionmongers would doubtless
be glad to impose crinoline on the
Christian nations (the other nations
don't bother much with fashions),
but it cannot be done. There is not
room enough in New York for crino-
line. No fashion that will not do for
New York can pervade the United
States; so the country is safe.

THE GROUND CUCKOO

Remarkable Cunning 1t Display. In
Catching Rattlers.
One of the most interesting zoological
oddities is the California ground Cue
koo He usually is from twenty to
twenty-five inches long. including his
tail, which measures one-half Of his
whole length. On account of his small
wings he is a poor fier, but what he
lacks in aerial dexterity he makes up
in pedestrian velocity. With his four
yard jumps he can outrun the swiftest
race horse. His geographical range
is confined to southern California,
Mexico and some parts Of Texas. AS
a bird Of prey the ground cuckoo out
wits his most avidious fellow creas
lures. Snails and large worms consti-
tute his principal food, which he is
busy all day in digging out of the
ground. But he does not hesitate to
attack larger animals. 1t is no trou-
BILE for him to get the better Of small
snakes, and when domesticated he
beats any cat or dog in the extermina-
ton Of mice and small house pests.
Most curiously interesting is the
strategic sagacity he displays in the
capture Of large rattlesnakes. These
he dare not meet in fair and open
combat AS soon as he espies a rattle
snake sleeping in the sun near a cac-
tus hedge he surrounds his victim with
heap Of the prickly leaves until be
is well hemmed in. He then pricks
at the reptile few times with his
sharp bill, which causes q sudden COM
motion in the cactus heap. In his at
tempt to disentangle himself from the
leaves he wounds his tender flesh, and
it takes but an hour or two for the
average RATHER to die of sheer ex-
haustion and furnish a much coveted
tdbit for the sly cuckoo. His meth
cd with his prey resembles that of the
cat with the mouse .r..s .>

ALTERING A PICTURE.
Why the Change Did Not Please the
Original Artist.

Why the Change Did Not Please the
Original Artist.
An artist was talking about the noted
German painter Adolf von Mcneil.
won Mcneil" he said, painted the
clearest and most distinct of pictures.
Everything with him was worked out
to the last hair. Nothing was ever sug-
gested. With suggested, 'sketchy, I'M
pressionlstic pictures he had no sym
patty. He was called the Melssonier
of Germany. ...
I'm discussion of a certain impress
sionist's vague, unintelligible work
once heard Won Mcneil say: -.
"'This man Markheim sold to the
Countess n. two years ago one of his
landscapes. The countess after she had
had the landscape few weeks tired of
it, and to another artist who dined
with her one night she said:
"'"I think the new picture that Herr
Markheim sold me lacks animation. It
needs life in it. Would you be willing
to paint for me a man or woman on
that road that runs through the mid
dle?"
":"Why, surely, madam" said the
second painter. And he took the pic
ture home with him, made the addition
and returned it the next morning.
Later, meeting Markheim, he said:
"I had the audacity to alter a
landscape of yours the other day. It
was the landscape you sold the Count
ess x. She wanted figure in it, and
to oblige her l painted an old peasant
walking down the road"
'Markheim, frowned.
'The road?" he said. sThe road?
don't remember any road in that pic
ture'
""Oh, yes, there is a road" said
the other.
"''I can't recall It," said Markheim.
Finally, to settle the matter, they
went to the house Of the countess and
stood before the picture.
There" said Markhefm's brother
artist-"there is your road, and there is
my old peasant walking down it."
Fool" Markheim cried, what
have you done? That is not a road in
the center of.my work. 1t is a riv-
err" '"-San Francisco Newsletter.

influence of Red Hair.

'There never has been an important
revolutionary movement without a red
haired person Intimately concerned, If
not the leader" says a writer. NEARLY
all the great 7refermers or founders Of
religions had red hair. History men,
tons that Mohammed was a red haired
man. King David was ruddy. Louis
XIV. was sandy haired man, with
many of the characteristic peculiarities
Of the type. Cleopatra is called the
red haired Creek: Mary, queen of
Scots, had red hair. and Prince Charles
resembled her in coloring. Lucrezia
Borgia looks in her portraits somewhat
auburn. Queen Elizabeth was Of de-
cidedly red coloring, which will suit
both her admirers and her detractors."

With the coming of every year
amateur sport, particularly college
sport, takes on more and more the
character Of a business proposition,
says Harpers Weekly. Continuing,
the Weekly remarks: This is not to
say that such sport is to be taken too
lightly, because it is only by serious
consideration of it and almost fanati-
cal adherence to its requirements that
success may be achieved But the
existing conditions so closely ap-
proach professionalism that in some
quarters it is difficult to distinguish
between the amateur and the profess
sional. AS to the prominence athletics
have attained in our colleges and the
undergraduates estimate of the rela-
tive value of an A. B. and university
initial on sweater, this is a subject
which has been discussed and debated
to the point of exhaustion, and may
be generally considered as a matter
of personal preference. The all-im-
portant phase of the matter is the
growing atmosphere of professional
ism. The day has come when the pro-
fessional coach is as powerful a fac
tor in college management as "Prex"
himself, and the pay of these instruc-
tors is very large. There is no ques-
ton of the value, in one sense, of
such a coach to an eleven, nine, or
a crew, but college contests have,
through him, come to the contests of
the skill of these coaches as much
as of the men who follow their
methods.

Those who seek a token of the diff.
ference in social conditions as they
exist in the eastern and western Sec
lions of this country will find it well
expressed in the customs which pre-
vail in each in the summer months
In a word, the East considers summer
as vacation period; the West accepts
it largely as one of the four seasons
and no different from others except
as to heat. Such a thing as "going
away for two or three weeks" as
practiced almost universally in the
East, has little echo in the West,
though the custom is gradually creep
ing toward the setting sun. The
scope of the vacation proposition is
very wide in the East. From presi-
dent down to Office boy every employee
Of business establishment looks for
ward to vacation; the president
takes it, the Office boy expects it, and
each gets it. Whether the vacation
be accorded as reward or as an
acknowledgement of necessity is not
yet clear. Saturday in the East has
long been recognized as a "half holt
day." the evidence of which is noted
in the closing of the United States
land Office and surveyor generals Of
fee in this city, and little by little it
is passing away entirely as a business
day, especially in summer. But the
West continues to work from spring
to spring, with short vacations for
employers Of few days only, and
none for the great army of workers.
In the East vacations are given on
full pay, while in the West it is
often difficult for an employee to get
away for ever SO short a period with.
out employing a substitute or loss of
wages. In England the idea has still
another quirk; over there servants
exact a vacation every year. This
custom is becoming usual in the At.
lantic states, and, like the fashions,
will finally reach the West.

FALLS THROUGH ICE
Boy Has Terrible Experience In
Waters of Mississippi

Struggling in the icy water of the
mississippi river between two cakes of
ice, just below the high bridge, Charles
Gruer, 13 years, living on West Fair.
Held avenue, was sinking for the last
time yesterday afternoon when res
cued by an older companion, Albert
Miesel, who threw him rope. Gruer
was taken to his home and wrapped in
hot blankets, but it is feared that
he will contract pneumonia.
Gruer and his companion had gone
down to the river bank and were
amusing themselves by jumping on the
cakes of ice as they broke away from
the shore. After riding a short dis
lance the boys would leap to the shore
Young Gruer slipped while about to
jump from a cake and fell into the
water several feet from the shore. He
managed to keep afioat by supporting
himself on the ice cakes which were
on all sides of him, but was. rapidIy
becoming exhausted and was being car
rled out into the stream. Miesef seized
coil of rope that was lying on the
shore near fisherman's shack and
threw it in the direction of the drown
Ing boy. The rope fell within his
reach and he was dragged ashore.

FIRE BUG AT WORK
IN SOUTH ST. PAUL
Three Fires Started by Unknown
Person or Persons Arouse
Citizens

There is every evidence that a very
industrious fire bug is applying the
torch to South st. Paul buildings.
Within the past few months three
fires have been kindled under business
buildings. and as a result of the last
hre, which was discovered at 2:45
o'clock Sunday morning in a black
smith shop, public indignation has been
aroused to high pitch, and yesterday
there was a great deal of talk of the
adviSability of holding mass meeting
of the citizens to offer a reward for the
arrest and conviction of the fire fiend.
In not a single one of the three cases
Of incendiariSm which have come to
light in the past few months, has there
been discovered any possible cause to
assign for the act. Efforts to blame
the fire setting to enemies of the prop
erty holders who suffered have failed,
and the only proposition left to work
upon is that the fire bug, whoever he
be, is a person possessed of a mania
for setting fire to buildings and watch
ing them burn. This is an expensive
mania for the town and undoubtedly
some action will be taken early this
week to discourage it's existence.
One of these fires had the effect Of
almost totally destroying a large lum-
Der yard. The fire yesterday morning
was less disastrous in its work, being
discovered soon after it started. 1t
was in the blacksmith shop owned by
Thomas O'Halloran, and when it was
discovered at PAS o'clock in the morn
ing flames were bursting from all the
windows of the little building. The fire
department was hastily summoned,
and after half an hours hard work ex-
tinguiShed the fire.
An investigation to discover the
cause of the fire was ordered The
floor within the shop was found to have
been deeply strewed with straw, and
this material, touched off with a
match, had spread the flames to all
parts of the building. When Mr..
O'Halloran closed his shop Saturday
evening there was not even a wisp Of
straw in the place. Mr.. O'HalIOran
suffered a loss of about 500 upon the
building, tools and material burned.

COCHRAN HOLDS JAP
UP TO COLORED RACE
Tells Sunday Club to Initiate the Little
Men of the East

Thomas Cochran addressed the
members of the Colored Mems Sunday
club at their meeting in the ST. James
A. M. E. church yesterday afternoon
upon the subject of ''The CoIored
Race; Its Future and It's Present
Needs" He talked at some length.
complimenting his auditors upon the
progress which has been made by their
race since it was freed from bondage.
and admonishing them to patience i'm
their contest for social equality.
He compared the black race with the
yellow race-the Japanese-comment
ing upon the wonderful strides towards
perfected civilization by the peopIe of
that eastern country and upon the
wonderful fight they are putting up
against Russia. In the Japanese race
he saw fitting example for the negro
race to follow, advocating in this adj
vice the principle laid down by Prof.
Du Bois, the colored educator who re-
Gently spoke in st. Paul.
Mr.. Cochran declared the greatest
need of the colored race at the pres
ent time, however, to be a more wide
spread Christianity. Characterizing
Christianity as the greatest thing in
the world, he said that in a universal
adoption by the race and the adher-
enee to the doctrines of Christian
ity would be brought about most
speedily that day when the race could
place itself upon the same basis as
any other race
