Ensley, May 29-CSpecial. blowing to the fact that one of the special deputies serving on the South Ensley car line was 10 be tried for disorderly conduct. Mayor Sugg faced crowded court room this morning at o'clock, when he went on the bench. The charge was preferred against the deputy, whose name is J. H. White, by Gordon Otwell, a member of the recently organized union of street railway employees, and grew out of Whites alleged disorderly actions yes- terday as his car was passing through the Fifth ward According to Otwell the oeputy alighted from his car, used pro- lane language toward himself and a companion and made demonstration with his revolver. White denied the state ments of otwell in toto, and testified fur ther that Otwell had himself been guilty of disorderly conduct in yelling "scab" at the conductor and motorman and in scratching the back of one hand with the other, which, according to White, Is the sign for ''scab" when 1t is not wise to utter the word itself.
 On account of the lack of sufficient evidence Mayor sugg dismissed the case a"ainst White, and in doing so, took occasion to state that all men, whether union or non- union, are entitled to the protection of the law, and that neither side should be guilty of any conduct cal culated to cause a breach of the peace.

Even then he managed to kick me in the stomach. Not knowing the mans condi- tion I locked him in the city Jail.

by proper exposure to the sun instead
OF by the mechanical methods, and
thereby preserving the natural flavor
OF the plant, attracted the attention
OF tea growers in Ceylon, and has
now aroused interest among the tea
producers OF India. He writes.
Although at the very threshold

is really instructing the oldest tea.

has known the trick for long time.
and has been able to furnish tea OF
superior flavor by practlclng it. but

followed in India, if, indeed, it was
known here, and 1t remained for the
West to furnish the East with this
practical and useful knowledge. -

French Tax on Titles.

1t is proposed in France. where in.
genuity in devlsing new sources of
revenue has been raised to a fine art,
to impose tax on titles of nobility.
In nation which has taxed win
dows and doors the proposal will not
seem extraordinary. Tho odd thing
is that the republic, which has de-
clared such titles fictitious, should
now recognize them as means of
national income. A point of interest
for the outer world is that only genu.

How to Attain old Acc.

Seven pithy precepts for the attain
fng of old age were given recently by,
General Booth, in explanation OF his
surprising activity and vigor at the
age of seventy-eight. He said:
Eat as little as possible. The av-
erage man eats too much. Instead of
nourishing his body he overtaxes it.
compelling his stomach to digest
more food than 1t has capacity for.
Drink plenty of water in prefer
ence to adulterated concoctions.
Water is wholesome nourishment.
Take exercise. 1t is just as fool
ish to develop the mind and not tha
body as it is to develop the body ana
not the mind. Perform some manual
labor; dig, walk. chop wood, or, IL
you can talk with your whole body.
why, then talk; but do it with ALI
your might.
Have a system, but do not be a
slave of the system. If my hour to
rise is a. m. and at that time I
haven't had sufficient rest, / take
longer time.
DO not fill your life with lot of
silly and sordid pleasures, so that
when you come to die you will find
you have not really lived.
Abstain from indulgences which
overtax the body, and injure not only
yourself but the generations that
come after you.
Have a purpose in life that pre-
dominates above all else, that is
benehcent to those about you. and not
to your own greedy self alone. II
there Is one thing for Which I am
glad 1t is that have found purpose
which involves not me alone, but ali

Reclaiming Salt Meadow.

A tract of about 10000 acres OF
salt meadow is being reclaimed near
Bridgeport, Connecticut This work
is of special interest because land
OF this kind abounds In large acreage
all along the Northeastern Atlantic
Coast. AT present it produces MOTH
ing but salt hay, which scarcely more
than pays for the labor of harvesting.
The large tract mentioned is being
reclaimed by construction of dykes
to keep out the sea water. After the
salt water is shut of. the land begins
20 sweeten by natural process and
the washing OF rain. II Is thoroughly
.piowed and dressed with lime to help
counteract the salt and sourness. The
engineer In charge OF the work has
reclaimed large tracts in the West
and claims that the salt meadow
near bridgeport can be made to pro-
duce big crops OF English hay and
garden crops, such as celery and as
