Presented to
KING EDWA

There was a time when tea
was so rare that it was used
only by persons of wealth.
The king of England, at this
period was presented with a
small package, for the rea-
son that he had expressed
himself as preferring it to
wine of the finest vintage
At this time tea sold regu-
larly at $1.00 per pound
Since then tea has become
adulterated in a shameful
manner-the leaves of prac-
tically all the trees of the
forest find their way into tea
that in some quarters is very
highly commended for its
health and purity. But there
is plenty of good tea on the
market. The selected Japan
tea handled by j. z. Bren-
nan, No. 148 South Holman
street, Hammond, and i'm
ported especially for his
trade, is highly recommend
ed. The price is but 30 cents
per pound.

People To BE Pitied.

Piticul is the case of the blind who
cannot read the face; pitiful the case
of the deaf, who cannot follow the
changes of the voice. And there are
others also to be pitied, for there are
some of an inert and ineloquent nature
who have been denied all the symbols
of communication, who have neither a
lively play of facial expression nor
speaking gestures nor a responsive
voice nor yet the gift of frank, ex-
planatory speech-people truly made OF
clay, people tied for life iAto a bag
which no one can undo. They are poor

In Greek mythology, Narcissus is q
beautiful youth, son of Cephissus,
and the nymph Liriope metamor-
phosed into a flower. For his insen-
sibility to love he was caused, by
Nemesis, to fail in love with his own
image reflected in the water Unable
to grasp the shadow, he pined away
and became the flower which bears
his name. The nymph Echo, who
vainly loved him. died of grief.

Walks sentry DER possessions that

Hath surety in the uses of the hour.

The large attendance at the regular
services of the Holly Beach Presby-
terrain church is gratifying to those en-
gagged in advancing the interests Of the
church. The sermon at the morning
service was unusually strong, being
based on the third verse of the twelfth
chapter of st. John. At the evening
services Rev. Harker speaks especially
to the young people and a special in
vitation is given to them to attend
that service of the day. The Sabbath
school session was interesting as usual
and very we'll attended, the number of
those present exceeding that of any
other session in the history of the
church. 1t is safe to say that this
school has taken on a new lease Of
life. The number of active members
is continually increasing and new
pupils are being added to the roll every
Sabbath. The music of the school has
been put in charge of a class of young
girls and is steadily improving. The
room is well filled but an effort will
be made to care for any strangers who
care to attend the class. A cordial in
vitatiop is extended to everyone to at
tend all services of the church and a
hearty welcome is waiting for all who
accept the invitation.

BEATING THE LAW.
Sunday Travellers and Inns and rav.
erns In Scotland.

Sunday Travellers and ms and Tav-
erns In Scotland.
There is a law In Scotland generous
to travellers. That law grants them
the privilege of all taverns and inns
during prohibition hours. Thus II you
arrive In Edinburgh on a Sunday, hav.
ing Travelled, say, from Glasgow, your
i%nnkeeper Is bound to serve you with
any sort Of alcoholic refreshment, al
belt the native OF Aud Reekie must
fret and starve his Sawbath away on
ginger ale, memories and the auroral
promise Of tomorrow. But the law Is
merciful. He that hath journeyed
three miles is a traveller within the
meaning Of the act.
Consequently there Is a vast array of
travellers leaving Edinburgh on foot,
on coaches, pony carriages. etc, for
the trains run not.
They all seek to constitute them
selves as travellers. Just within the
three mile limit, as far as Edinburgh is
concerned, lies the historic village of
Corstorphine.
