Tea Drinking and Typhoid.

1t is said on the high authority of
an American medical journal that al
though the Chinese people live in a
germ-saturated SOIL they are singularly
free from typhoid fever and other dis
eases of which water is the medium
of communication. This condition is
attributed to the universal custom of
copious tea drinking.
The tea itself is not held to be the
safeguard against disease, but the
boiling of the drink has germicidal
effect which produces sanitary advan'
tages. And if tea produces any Ill re-
suits they are not to be considered be.

The tea leaf is described as forming
one of the most innocent and attrac-
tive flayorings possible for hot drinks.

Texans In Texas.

"That seems a strange statement to
make, but it is very true one, never
theless. You know, Texas is all com.
paratiyely new country, and most of
the people there are from north Of
that section. It will be different in
another generation, but today the first
thing one asks another on being in-
trOduced to him is: Where are you
from, sir?' 1t is told of a certain
preacher out there that one Sunday
when his church was pretty full he
asked:

there in this congregation

that so good boy has associated

This is Mike Donlin, the gentle
Outfielder of the New York Giants.
His home Is in Gotham, although
he came neaer changing 1t to a
place up the river because Of a
little revelry on a sleeping car
near Albany. Mr.. Donlin does like
his little Joke. One mellow eve
ming last fall, while wandering up
Broadway he met an upstate farm
er whom ne clasped in his arms and
tickled the bunch of golden rod
that grew on his Adams apple.
"Gol dern ye," said the farmer man,
who knew not Mchae's playful
ways. Then the farmer drew a
knife and opened up the ball play
er's features. The farmer ran and
Donlin was taken to hospital. The
medical students who operated up
on him did not recognize him and
he was given Il slap-dash job of
stitching. which left a long red
scar across one side of his face.
Mr.. Donlln now sidesteps when he
meets a farmer on broadway. Re-
gently he took unto himself a gay
poubrette. "And they lived happy

In the way of money Manager
Collins was not stinted; he selected
the present team and put them
through their preliminary training
with a confidence born of previous
success that they would be con-
tenders for the flag the season
through. But his judgment was at
fault. The only answer to los
ing teams failure is the string of
victories to the winning teams
credit. The manager of winning
team is success. and by the same
token the manager Of losing
bunch is failure. The element of
chance may have overbalanced the
scales against the losing manager,
but that is his misfortune and an
unsatisfying answer to the fans
who want to see their favorites put
up a fighting game. Practically
every member of the Boston team
is playing slower game than last
season. and the demand for young
blood is so insistent that there will
probably be hurried shakeup of
the Boston Americans as soon as
men can be secured to replace the
present consistent losers-a Job
that will test Manager Collins in
genuity at this stage of the race.

Cheers for the winner; brickbats
for the loser. Just now Jimmie Col
Inns Is the center of a shower Of
brickbats. When Collins piloted the
Boston Americans to the top he
was listed as one of the most as
tute managers in the business
nothing in the way of praise was
too good for him. The remarkable
string of defeats that has left his
team hopelessly floundering in the
ruck has drawn down upon his
heaed the sharp criticism of the
Boston papers, as well as from
papers in other cities in the cir
cult.
Any novice can see at a glance
what is wrong with the Boston
team. but where is the genius who
can remedy 1t now? In the first
place, the pitchers have gone stale.
and in the second, the team isn't
hitting The absence of Lou Criger,
the capable catcher, whose playing
days are probably over for all
time because of his illness, was a
severe blow. but the fact remain
that neither Young nor Tannehill
nor Dineen is pitching the game he
did last season. Cy Young's days
as a diamond here seem to be
drawing to close. He has defied
the whiskered gent with the scythe
for 10, these many years, but it
looks at last as though he must
step aside for younger muscles and
newer brains.

1t Is when takers in the prize
ring game fall out that the public
is enlightened. Without the double

the jobbed fight followers is the re-
suit of personal spite and an effort
to get even. and in every case on

the matter had been hushed up.
In many sections of the country
the game has been killed by the
"would-bes' getting in and double

pales into inslgnificance when con-
