Warning Against Tea Drinking.

PARIS, February 17.-Alarmed at the
growth of tea drinking In France, the
consumption having increased $50 per
cent in the last twenty-four years. Francis
MARI, whose researches into foods and
their. values entitle him to respect, warns
his compatriots against overindulgence in
the 5-o'clock-tea habit. He admits the
tea arouses intelligence and aids CONVERSE

troubles follow.
Plants. like men, are obliged to get rid

extreme parts. Like bark leaves and in
tea plants. they are alkaloids which may
be compared with uric acid.

Education for Workers.

A striking illustration Of what I am
saying was offered by the elevator boy
in city building last spring. This boy
said: Cant you find me a job that

you?" he was asked. "Twenty-one u

necessary to earn more In order to help
myself and my family" Here was a
youth twenty-one years Of age, with nc
capacity to do anything that is worth
paying more for than the sum paid for
the Juvenile services that he had been
engaged in since he was fifteen years
old. This case is probably typical Of the
great majority Of young people. the
Investigation referred to also revealed
the fact that a large proportion-the
majority-of these children would be in
school between the ages Of fourteen and
sixteen IL the school afforded a training
that promised increased earning capacity
1t is fair to conclude therefore, that the
present condition OF many young work
'ers.: typihed by our elevator boy, Is pre-

/. There is practically no out on the
road supervision on American railroads.
2. Railroad managers depend upon the
reports of employees for information in
regard to violations of rules.
3. But employs do not, and cannot be
compelled to, report their associates. con-
sequently negligence of all kinds is prac-
tically unchecked.
4. Unchecked negligence can be shown
II be the root and direct cause of nearly
all preventable accidents. and loss Of life
therefrom, on American railroads.
5. Here we have a conclusion worth
looking into. At glance we perceive
thar negligence Is the prime and funda-
mental fact. 1t is the direct cause OF
tn, trouble. The fact that the negligence
is unche cked is important, yet secondary.
1t should be treated as a separate issue.
and it must stand or fall on its own
merits.

NEW BUSINESS FOR
THE CHINA AND ASIA

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-THE Pa
eifc Mail company liners China and
Asia are to he taken out of the first
class passenger business. They viii re-
main OF the run between here and the
| Orient, but viii carry only Intermediate
and steerage passengers. This step has
been decided upon for the reason that
the smaller ships on this run have been
carrying few passengers and the big
liners have been in many cases uncom-
fortably crowded. 1t is also believed
that the lower rates on the intermediate
ships viii foster new and profitable
class of travel. As the fares on the
intermediate ships viii be practically
half tie present first class rates, the
China and Asia are likely to be crowded
again as they were in the days before
their big sisters appeared and captured
the passenger business.
The Asia, Captain Harry Gaukroger,
will sail from here November a with
only intermediate and steerage passen-
gers. The staterooms now reserved for
first class passengers win he the quar-
ters of the intermediate passengers and
the steerage, then as now, win be prac-
tically reserved for Asiaties

mon and popular on the Atlantic. They

the South American and Central Amer.
lean republics were greater than the
trade with the Orient, for which 50
much effort was being made.
He advocated line of fast passenger
steamers connecting Pacific coast Amer,
lean ports with the Pacific seaboard of
South America. He declared that there
was grave danger that Japan would
win the trade, which he believed should

Fear of New Moorhouse Comet Ri
diculous, Says Dr.. Brashear.
DR.. John A. Brashear, the Pittsburg
astronomer, denied emphatically the
other night that the Inhabitants of the
earth need fear any danger from a
collision with the comet recently dis
covered by Moorhouse at the Yerkes
observatory.
THE spectroscopic study of this
comet" said DR.. Brashear. indicates
that not only is 1t composed of hydro
gen gas, but also of cyanogen, a very
poisonous gas. A sensational article
recently printed in New York tells US
that had thiS comet struck the earth
not a living sbeinge would have been
left upon it. But my own observa-
lions, with those of others, indicate
that If the comet had struck the earth
so thin is its gas that there would not
have been enough for one single atom
of it for each block of our city.
There would have been absolutely
no danger to the inhabitants of the
earth. The fact of the matter is that
when the head, or nucleus. of the
comet was 100000 miles in diameter /
could see fifth magnitude star
through 1t without any apparent dimi-
mutton of light" 8

brate Completion ,of Work-New
Equipment for Boys.

The members of Company A have
been called together for a meeting for
Monday evening at their new quarters
at the remodeled Armory hall. This
will be the first meeting of the COM
pany for a long time, as they were I'M
able to hold their drills while the arm
DRY was in the hands of the carpen-
tiers. AS the hall is nearly done now,
and the quarters on the second floor
are about completed, Captain Dunavin
thought it time to get the men togeth-
er again and plan the work of the
winter. Yesterday the captain re-
ceived an order from the adjutant gen.
eral requesting the measurements of
the men in the company in order that
the company can be fitted up with
overcoats, shirts and shoes, a thing
which the law requires done before
the middle of next year. The members
of the company have been looking for
ward to securing this equipment for
a long time, and it's arrival will cause
no small amount of joy. With the ar
rival of the coats, shirts and shoes,
very few things will be needed to fully
fit the company for active service
should such thing be found neces-
sary.
Plan an Opening.
Plans for the opening of the armory
hall are now under consideration, and
1t seems that the majority of the mem
bers of the company and the division
of naval reserves favor the idea of
having a military ball in connection
with the event The date for the af
fair has not been settled, but will
probably come during the holidays
The hall floor will be polished so thai
it will be one of the best dance halls
in the three cities, and with the re
modelling which has been done it is {
pretty place for dance to be held.

ran the better. race and won fairly.

When you~come to think of it, that
record was marvellous one. No horse
