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, 1t
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 very dainty In
their tastes, for sprinkIIng of mud
dy water over their floor and tea table
is the 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 1t always attacks those of a
mild and delicate flavor. Such as af-
ford harsh and rasplng liquors are al
most entirely free from its attacks

OPEN BALLOT BOX.

the ballot boxes was unlocked. This
Is such clear evidence that the ballots

should do so in the mind OF any one
who wished to be fair.
The discovery proves that an at.

perpetrate an outrage on the people

the ballot boxes In an effort to seat
man who was not elected senator.
The outrage ought to open the eyes Of

The crime OF tampering with ballot
boxes Is Of such q serious nature that
the Press would not cast suapIt ION on
any individual, but the case demands
thorough investigation that Justice
may be done and the guilty punished.
Further proceedings In the senate
were stopped by the discovery and
the whole matter was referred to the
committee. 1t seems TO be a case
where the criminal failed to cover
mp HIS crime by neglecting to lock
the box.
The people Of Kootenai county will
not submit TO such outrages against
their elective franchise.
With this discovery IL must be
borne In mind that the whole cleo.

WIVES WHO NEVER SPEAK.

The Korean woman who speaks, or
even mods on her wedding day imme
diately becomes an object of ridicule
and loses caste. Neither threat nor
prayer must move her. for the whole
household is ever on the alert to catch
a single muttered syllable. Her period
of silence often lasts for a week or
more, and when complete silence is
broken she only uses her tongue for
the most necessary uses.
Some 60 years ago a native of
Pennsylvania undertook, for a wager
of $50, to remain mute for the first
month of her marriage. Her hus-
band not being in the secret, left
her, only to return later. when he was
apprised of the real reason of her
silence.
A Brussels couple named Dupont,
quarreled so bitterly on their wedding
day that the wife vowed that her hus-
band should never hear her voice
again. His entreaties went for Moth
ing, and to her dying day she kept to
the letter of her oath.
A Brunn woman, whose husband
was in hiding from the authorities,
inadvertently betrayed mis- where
abouts to a police spy. AS result

ELKS ARE DISAPPOINTED.

Thousands of thoughtful members
of the order of Elks will be disap-
pointed at the action of the grand
lodge in refusing to abandon the elk
tooth as an emblem.
The arguments of the Wyoming
delegates in the grand lodge that the
extraction of elks' teeth is painless
and does not cause death, is the
veriest rot, as thousands of helpless
elk are slaughtered every year in the
Wyoming mountains by criminal pot
hunters, for the teeth. No teeth are
extracted from live elk. The ami
mails are killed by thousands for this
purpose.
Two men are now on trial at Po-
catello for having killed 1900 elk for
their teeth. The flesh and hides of
these animals were left to rot on the
mountains while the brutal hunters
Haunted their collection of elks' teeth
over the country.
If there was no demand for elks'
teeth among members of the order,
there would be no money value to the
teeth and the slaughter would stop.
The next grand lodge will perhaps
stop the practice.
