The Tea Bug and Tea Mite.

Every animal and plant has its para =
site, and from this general law. it
seems, the tea plant is not exempt.
Two insects are described as spending
their lives in tea drinking. They are
the plague of the Assam tea gardens
and are known as the 'tea bug" and
''tea mite" The mites spend their en-
tire lives on the tea plant and are ney
er known to attack any other leaf.
They live in families and societies on
the upper side of the full grown leaf
and spin delicate web for shelter.
They then puncture the leaves and
pump out the liquid in the plant veins.
They seem to become dainty in their
tastes, for a sprinkling Of muddy wa
ter over their floor and tea table is
the only remedy known to check their
ravages. Even this Is not always eff
fectual. The tea bug is still more de-
structlve and is evidently possessed Of
an appreciation of the best kinds of
tea, since it always attacks those of Il
mild and delicate flavor.

FUNCTIONS OF THE STATE.
Interesting Analysis Made BY e.sher
STANG Of Fall River.


Interesting Analysis Made BY sishep
stang Of Fall River.
In n recent address In 81. Mary's
cathedral Bishop Stang Of Fan River
thus analysed the functions or the
state:
THE state should not absorb the
rights Of individuals. but should keep
them inviolate unless they clash with
the common good and the Interests OF
others. The proper office OF the gov
eminent is to foster public well being
and private prosperity by maintaining
peace and good order. safeguarding
family life, respecting religion aud
Furnishing evil doors.
.Civil authority may step In TO In
terfere II through strikes there Is I'm
minent danger Of disturbance 10 the
public peace, II in workshops and fac
tories there Is danger TO morals
through the mixing Of sexes or from
any occasion Of evil. II the health Of
laborers is endangered by excessive
work or the want Of sanitary arrange
ments or II labor IL unsuited to sex or
age, but the state should not intervene
In or NEEDLE with private concerns any
further than is required for the rem
edy Of the evil or the removal Of the
danger The state should not only
protect private ownership as some
thing sacred and inviolab BILE. but Its pol
icy should be to induce as many people
as possible to become owners. The

GIGANTIC OCEAN LINER
Luxurious Appointments Of the
Steamship Adriatic.
FINE FURNITURE AND COL0RS.
New White Star Boat Over zoo Feet
Long Can Accommodate 5000 Trsv-
eIers-Has Nine Steel Deeks-SinsIe
Berth Rooms and Magnificent Suits.

In her exterior, the Adriatic. new
ocean queen Of the White Star line.
which recently sailed from Liverpool
for New York, will much resemble her
sister ship, the Baltic. although she Is
fifteen feet longer. LIZA tons heavier,
1000 horse power stronger and from
half to whole knot faster, says the
New York World. The Adriatic will
also burn something more than the 235
tons of coal day which the Baltic
consumes. This will lie comparatively
a bagatelle considered with the $50
tons day eaten up IN the furnaces of
the German .greyhounds.
The Adriatic which Is the hast and
greatest ship Of the White Star feet
Is not intended to he greyhound, but
an economical. seven day ship. provid
ing all the comforts. luxuries necessi
ties, safety. sanitary requirements and
fads. yof the present day which eX
perience and the success Of other
steamships can suggest.
The Adriatic, which was built at Bel
fast, Ireland. Is Of nearly $4,000 tons
gross. having a displacement of more
than 10000 tons. She Is 725 feet 8
inches over all, rs feet inches beam
and about so feet deep.
The Mauretania, of the Cunard line,
which will be a queen, is 100 feet long.
81 feet inches beam and has gross
tonnage of $500 tons. While the Bal
tic has $4,000 horse power, the Adriatic
has 1900 horse power and where the
Baltic can make seventeen knots the
Adriatic can make eighteen.
1t cost only SO, $50 600 to build the
Adriatic In Ireland, but II she had
been built in America she would have
cost $5000.000 She Is expected to
last twenty-five years. The Britons
couldn't build her without American
steel, for more than 100000 pounds
of boiler plate We're required from the
Homestead plant of the Carnegie Steel
company for the Adriatic's battery of
ten boilers, each fifteen feet eight
inches in diameter, twenty feet long
and carrying 30 pounds Of steam to
the square inch.
On the Adriatic will be afforded the
traveller choice between the Amerl-
can and the European plans of having
his meals served. He may, as he pre-
fers, dine Ia carte or table d'hote.
The Adriatic has nine decks, and her
novelties include gymnasium, an
electric elevator connecting the upper
deck, promenade deck, upper prone
made deck and boat deck. dining
room on the upper deck, lowest of the
four passenger decks; no square cor
nered tables, but little round, restau-
rant style, family tables, studding her
