TEA BUGS AND TEA MITES.
They Are the Plaques of the Assam
Tea Gardens.

They Are the Plaques of the Assam
Tea Gardens.
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 entire lives on
the tea plant and are never known to
attack any other leaf. They live in
families and societies on the upper
side of the full grown leaf and spin a
delicate web for a shelter. They then
puncture the leaves and pump out the
liquid in the plant veins.
They seem to become cry dainty in
their tastes, for a %sprinkling of mud
dy water over their floor and tea table
is NE only remedy known to check
their ravages. Even this is not al
ways effectual.
The tea bug Is still more destructive
and is evidently possessed of an ap-
probation Of the best kinds of tea,
since it always attacks those of a
mild and delicate flavor. Such as af-
ford harsh and rasping liquors are al
most entirely free from it's attacks

Leaving

Johann Sieberlich is by nature sus-
picious; but, says the Albany Journal,
he appreciates a reasonable PROPOSE
ton. A travelling butcher came his
way one day and b~argained with him
for eight head Of fine cattle. The price
being satisfactory, the butcher felt in
his pocket and found he had not
brought his wallet.
81 have not the money with me-" he
said, "but 1 will drive the cattle to
town and send the money back to
you"
"Neinr" said Johann emphatically.
'That goes not goot. You shouldt
bring de moneys first"
swell I tell you what I'll do" said
the butcher frankly. 'Ill drive only
six Of them in, and I'll leave the other
two as security for the debt"
Johann studied q moment and then
his face lighted.
"All right" he said. dot is chust
so goot. Ven you leave dose two you
hat bought den it is sure you comes

This is the West Indian way Of pre-
pairing oranges for the table: Peel the
oranges, taking Off as much white skin
as possible; then slice them or all
round as you would an apple, regard
less Of the sections. This leaves the
seed, tough, stringy central part and
most Of the inner skin together and is
a much less tedious process than re-
moving the skin by sections. Use a
very sharp knife, so as to make clean
cuts and not crush the fruit.

WOUNDING A r

An Odd Superstition That Dates Back
to Ancient Times.
A curious modern attempt to ration
alize one of the oldest Of superstitions
is to be found in Kipling's "Life's
Handicap" There Mulvaney checks
the author from stirring the fire with
Ortheris' bayonet on the ground that
fire takes the heart out of the steel.
The real reaso is much more mysteri-
Gus. 1t wa one Of the maxims Of
Pythagoras mot to stir the fire with
q sword" and to this day the wander
ing tribes Of North America and of
northeast Asia hold it a sin to AXE
up a burning ember for a pipe light
with the pMnt of a knife. The eX-
PLANTATION is undoubtedly given by Jo-
names de Plano Carpini when he tells
us that one Of the Tartar superstitions
coLcerns sticking a knife into the fire
or in any way touching the fire with
a knife or even taking meat out Of the
kettle with a knife or cutting near the
fire with an ak, for they believe that
so the head of the fire would be cut
off,"
This Is evidently connected with the
ancient idea that fire is a living crea-
ture, a sacred animal, which must not
be wounded by it's human owners in
case it should be annoyed and deprive
them of its valuable services. Is this
In any degree more irrational than the
belief still existent among ~housekeep-
ers that a feeble fire can be made to
burn up by laying the poker across it.

Police Protection

There's a rumor going around to the
effect that the city fathers are going to

Corned beef hash as made by Sen

In Washington several years ago.
When the head waiter Of the senate
restaurant wanted hash prepared very
carefully he ordered 1t this way: "One

One day when the restaurant was do
ing a heavy business almost everybody
seemed to want corned beef hash.
"Corned beef hash for Senator Hanna"
had been ordered fourteen times.
When the fifteenth order went down
to the kitchen the chef shouted:
That's fifteen orders for Senator

prompt activity of Mrs. II. NJ. Twimsn.
With blood flowing from her hand.
lacerated in breaking into the fire alarm
box, the young girl rushed back to assist
her mother in putting out the fire with
a garden hose.
M. S. Lane is the owner and occupant
of the house at 40 North Lake avenue,
where the blaze occurred, but he was not
at home at the time.
About half past o'clock Kathleen Twi-
man and her 3-year-old sister, who live
1T SO North Lake avenue, discovered the
fire in some papers on table in the
back screen porch
The elder girl dashed for the fire box,
shouting to her mother as she passed her
own home.
Lane returned just as the excitement
had subsidized. He cannot tell what was
the origin of the blaze 1t is possible
that some children familiar with the
place may have struck a match in the
porch and accidentally set fire to the
papers.
The little heroine who turned in the
alarm was one of the coolest members of
the large crowd which assembled with
the coming of the firemen to the place.
The wound on her hand, though painful,
is not very serious.

God. 1t is travesty upon Christianity
for the Christian church to be content
with doing small things.
Solve the Problem
"AlI power in heaven and on earth has
been promised to the Christian. With
such an endowment he must do big
things for God or be recreant to his
trust. A Christian who does not under
take to do something that is beyond his
present ability to accomplish has no
faith in God. He may have faith in him
self, but he has none in God.
Here is the multitude, hungry and
needy, to be ministered unto. We have
at least five 'loaves and two fishes The
obligation rests upon us of feeding the
crowd. II we keep in touch with God,
and keep in touch with the people, God
will bless our ministry, and we shall
solve the problem and reach the masses.
Let us face, therefore, every problem of
life with this confidence-that God will
supply the needed strength for the solu-
ton of it; and in His name we shall
conquer"
