roo MUCH TEA DRINKING.

Physical deterioration is alarming
all England and health committees
are running around seeking the
causes and then warning people
about their manner of living. One
of the dangers they find to be guard
ed against is the teapot. Excessive
use of strongly brewed tea having
been proved to be fatal to the best
physical condition, to reduce this
danger to a minimum the tea should
not be made strong and should be
drunk within two minutes. But
how prevent the working woman, for
instance, from keeping the deadly
teapot on the kitchen stove and
drawing a cup" whenever she feels
so inclined? The climate is really
first cause, the cheering poison but
the second. One has to be comfort
ed by tea in London's fog and chill
and a health committee is p~owerless
to change the climate.

THE GOVERNORS LOGIC.

For reasons well known to those
versed in the political history of the
time there was but little good feel
ing between Gov. G~reenhalge and
Elijah A. Morse, the congressman.
Both gentlemen, together with the
then lieutenant governor, Roger VOL
colt, we're guests at the dedication Of
the new city hall in Brockton in
September, 1894.
After the exercises, as the gov
ernor's party we're waiting at the
station for the train for Boston,
Lieut.. Gov. Wolcott addressed the
governor, saying: who was that
with Morse in front of the city

"Ycu say he was with Morse? ?"
asked the governor.

"Then," said Gov. Greenhalge,
with great emphasis, @it must have
been Balaam."

FINDS LAKE OF QUICKSILVER.
Value Of Product Estimated at Many
Millions Of Dollars.

A lake of quicksilver, covering an
area of more than three acres and
having a depth ranging from ten to
fifty feet, has been discovered in the
mountains of the state of Vera Cruz,
Mexico, says the New York World.
The value of the product is esti-
mated at many millions of dollars.
The news of this discovery was
brought to the City Of Mexico by G..
A. Bungi, a reputable mining man,
who declared he was suffering from
mercurial poisoning from having
passed much time Investigating the
extent of the lake and coming in con-
tact with the quicksilver. I've went
TO Santa Rosalia springs in the state
of Chihuahua, where he took a course
of treatment for his ailment. He re-
turned to Mexico City several days
ago fully restored in health.
Mr.. Bungi interested F. Lager
wall, O. wealthy iron manufacturer of
Sweden, who is now in Mexico on
business, and J. B. Feelin, of New
York, who accompanied Bungi to the
state of Vera Cruz and proved the
truth of his discovery.
This lake of quicksilver has been
known to the Indians Of that locality
for many generations. 1t is situated
far up in the mountains in an almost
inaccessible position. Its surface is
partly covered by stones. 1t is be-
lieved that volcanic action in the
mountains above smelted the quick
silver out Of the cinnabar ore and
that it ran down and filed this de-
preston.
Lagerwafi ami Fcefin have
agreed to provide the capital for the
operation Of the rich find. A tunnel
viii be driven through the base OF
the mountain and the quicksilver
will be brought down by means Of
gravity.

q S HATE FuRs.

A western man who had a number
of horses that he wished to dispose
of in the New York markets was adj
vised to ship them east in the spring
or summer.
"They will make a better showing
them" explained a trader on the
horse exchange, 'and impress the
prospective purchaser with a sense of
safety. It is more difficult to break
in a western horse to New York ways
in the winter than the summer. 1t
really doesn't take him long to be-
come used to the crowds and noises
of the city at any time; the thing
that throws him into a panic is the
sight of fur. In his mind furs are
associated with some enemy or tor
mentor in the animal kingdom, and
the sight and smell Of fur garments
at once arouses former fears. Some
horses never do get over this weak
ness, and many dealers can vouch for
cases in which horses that are other
wise perfectly satisfactory bring
complaint from the purchaser on ac-
count Of their dislike Of furs."-N.

AID TO WEIGHT.

A young man who wanted to get
on the police force, but was six
pounds under weight, applied for

FINps YANKgEs ARg Liked.
Writer Says They Are Popular In
Many Lands.

Everywhere there is a liking for
Americans, which is ~hattering to
our national vanity. We make due
allowances for the fact that these
people, whether African or Latin or
mixed, are approbatiye and like to
say pleasant things that they, per-
haps, put a higher estimate on cour-
tesy than on truthfulness. But still
it is significant that from all quar-
tiers and many sources we find the
evidences that the American is dis
tinctly popular with the common
people. How he is regarded by the
high born l have no means of as
certaining. Everywhere American
money is taken and generally it is
preferred to any other. Only at Mar
Unique did the hack drivers ques-
ton about American money, and
there apparently only because they
did not know how to compute its
value.
At st. Thomas one of our party
asked a little girl in the street who
offered for sale an article if she
would like American money. Gamer

driver whom he liked best to work
for-the Spanish, the English, the
Creole (that is, the native of for

"The American" he replied.
"Why? ?" Because they are the
freest with their money, and they
have the most humor," BY humor
he meant good nature-the Amer
lean would talk and joke with him
as with an equal.
AT Kingston | fell into converse

dock. Presently he asked me to
give him English money for a dime
and a nickel which he had. Quar-
tiers and all above that were taken,
he explained, at par, but less than
quarters were at a discount. I
asked him the same question, which
people he liked best. "The Amer
leans" ''Why?" "Why? A single

The chestnut is the wheat Of Cor

wooden water wheel whose axis turns
milestone which crushes the shelled
chestnuts against a fixed stone.
The cheaper grades OF flour are

Whalers and Eskimos driven out Of
their course by storms have reported
that a body Of land was there. The
character of the land is not like that
of Greenland. It is not covered with
glaciers. The amount of precipita-
ton is not sufficient, believe to cause
snow fields.
1T must be for the most part a

Effects Of Forests on Rivers.

S At the recent meeting OF the inter-
national navigation congress at Milan,
some interesting data were furnished
respecting the influence which the de-
struction of forests exerts on the dis
charge Of rivers. A summary of seven
important papers read at the congress
shows that it was allowed by all the
authors Of these papers that the re.
moval of forests, especially in hilly
countries, has marked effect on the
water supply of the neighboring rivers.
Where deforestation has taken place
brooks have disappeared and small
rivers once furnishing power for mills
have ceased to be sufficient for this
purpose.-New York Herald.
