TEA-DRlNKING BY CHILDREN
Said by Physicians to Be Prevalent
Among Those of Poor Who
Cannot Afford Milk.

It has been stated by physicians that
the practice of tea drinking among the
children of the poor is very prevalent,
says the Detroit News-Tribune. Even
little ones less than two years old are
given tea to drink three times a day.
The reason for this is that the parents
are not able to buy milk for the chill
dren. and, thinking that they must have
something to drink besides water, ig-
norantly give them tea, never realizing
the disastrous results that may follow to
the growing child in the way CT nervous
ness and other troubles. Physicians
who work among the poor are diseour-
aging this practice as far as possible and
advising water as beverage, either cold
or hot with little milk added, making
that drink known in many families as
cambria tea" Women, too, who know
better than to give tea to babes. might
do much good by instructing those who
do not know better; not in an intrusive
way, but by perhaps saying: 'tMy doe
tor says it is harmful to give children
tea, SO / have stopped it altogether
And the ignorant women, with the doc
tors opinion placed before them, will
more often than not listen and profit by
it. for they have much confidence in
physician.

FISHERS WHO CAN'T SWIM.
Labrador Mems Lives Often Eaz-
arded Through Ignorance
of This Art.

Few fishermen can swim, says writer
in Leslie's Monthly on Labrador. "Y Gu
see. we has enough o. the water without
goin' to bother wi it when we are
ashore" a man said to me only the
other Gay. Yet this very man had fallen
overheard in the open sea no less than
four times and had only been saved on
one occasion by catching the line thrown
him in his teeth and holding on till he
was hauled aboard. His hands were too
numbeo to be Of any use. Still, this fact
does not deter them from facing the
water. In an open bay in Labrador lives
one solitary settler. In the spring Of the
year, when the ice was just breaking up,
the mans two lads were out on the bay
ice after seals, when all of sudden it
gave way and the lads fell through.
The father, seeing it from the shore, did
not hesitate, but, selling a fishing line,
hastily fastened one end round his body
and, giving the other end to his daugh-
ter to hold, he ran out to the hole
through which they had fallen. He
jumped into the water, actually went
down and fetched up the bodies, too late.
alas, to restore life to them after that
cold water.

ODD WAYS OF THE MORAY
Queer Denizens of the New York
Aquarium That Interest the
Visitors.

The great green morays and the
smaller spotted morays at the aquari
UNI glide through and to lie in sections
Of drain pipe that have been placed
on the bottom of their respective tanhs
to add to the comfort and naturalness
of their surroundings. These sections
of pipe, says the New York Sun, give
them refugees such as they might FIND
in the perforations through the coral
rocks of the waters OF Bermuda
| whence the morays came.
There are always visitors looking in
at the big green morays and the spot
ted morays in their pipes, and scarcely
less interesting than the sight which
these nlcrays thus present is that OF
presented by still another moray here,
a young green moray in still another
! tank, which spends a good part of its
time hanging supported on a little
ledge of rock which juts out from one
side Of its rock-lined tank.
The young green moray's tank is
lined with tufa rock, from up the Hud-
son, rock that might by those unfa-
miliar with it easily be mistaken for
coral. Perhaps the young green mo-
ray, which is about so inches long. and
last August, so mistakes it and finds
enjoyment in it accordingly At any
rate, it seems to like to hang itself on
that projection.
There are five other jutting out
places in the rock lining over which it
might lie. but this is its favorite one,
which it prefers to all the rest-a spur
of tufa three OF four inches in length
and perhaps six inches wide, which
sticks out from the right side wall OF
the tank about three-quarters of the
way mp from the bottom. Over this
spur the young green moray hangs it
self, with the middle section of its
body resting On the shelf and its head
and that section Of its body hanging
down from one edge of the spur and
its tail section hanging down from the
other; it is like tippet thrown across
and hanging down from a bracket on
s wall.
And there the young green moray
will hang for hours at a time, as it
might hang itself over some coral
branch in its native waters, with many
visitors pausing to look at it. When
it is hungry it will come down from its
bracket of rock and glide around
on the bottom in search of food. Or
if it were hanging on the spur, with
head and tail suspended, when the at
tendalt that feeds it comes along with
the food it would, when the wire screen
over it's tank was raised, lift and curve
upward it's head and that section of its
body, ready for its dinner. The young
green moray has become more or less
tame, as very many fishes do in cap
tivity. and it will take food from the
hand.

TEA DRINKING TREMENs.
Shattered Nerves Resulting from
over-Inoulgence IN the
Beverage.

Tea treElens is recognized disease in
China. Its victims are the tea tasters
the judges Of the Chinese teas. These
men never swallow a drop Of tea, but
nevertheless they become afflicted with
a malady as distressing as insomnia.
s'Tea trenens." said dealer, SIS. in
word, shattered nerves. The victim
, of tea trenaens can't sleep, can't eat.
can't sit still. Furthermore, he is IN
happy-as unhappy as a man who was
drunk the night beforehand his mind
fingers on the thought Of suicide.
''Tea tasters of China are English
men. Their employers are Russians.
Russia is the great tea-drinking coun-
try, and it is to Russia that the best
tea goes. Some of this Russian tea is
worth $40 to S12 pound. The Rus
sian tea firms employ English tasters.
because tasting is an art that requires
great abstemiousness; alcohol must not
be touched, and only the simplest foods
may be taken. The Russian is any
thing but abstemious. He is a great
eater and drinker, and the largest sal
airy would not tempt him away from
the festive board. Hence his tea tasters
are all temperate Englishmen.
in tasting tea you don't swallow;
you only roll upon your tongue the
liquor. Nevertheless you get tea tre-
mems. The powerful aroma of the
herb, after month or so of tasting.
wrecks your nerves, and first you have
headache and then insomnia attacks
you. .@~~
"But the disease is durable. Tea
tasters, after vacation of a week or
two. are as well as ever again. It is
good thing for them that their calling
only has to be piled a few months in
the spring. It would inevitably kill
them otherwise
