From the Washington Post.
 Cecil Raleigh and George R. Sims. the deans of English melodrama, are going to start in England and America a school of melodramaic art.
 Admission to the school will be by an odd examination. Every candidate will have to repeat. with evidence of good tall ent, the following sentences, taken from masterpieces of the two deans:
 For years have hugged my awful se- cret to my breast.
 Foiiedl Alas, I see 1t all now.
 Must we then separate forever? I could have sworn you loved me.
 What is this? Blood There has been foul work here.
 Ere wonder sun has sunk behind the western hills.
 I am but poor working girl. my lord but, oh. sir, had far rather be that than what your gold would make me.
 How cold 1t isl The wind cuts like a knife.

TEA DRINKERS OF HISTORY.
Johnson Leads List With Twenty-Five
 Cups in One Sitting.

From the Gentlewoman.
 Napoleon, like Johnson, was hardened tea drinker, and so, a century laten was Mir. Gladstone, who confessed The drank mora. tea between midnight and in the uornn1g than any other member of the House ,of Commons, and that the strong est brew of 1t never interfered with his sleep"
 The dish of tea was one of the most important factors in Johnson's lie Pro f1eiency in Ale gentle art of tea brewing was regarded by him as an essensial at- tribute of the perfect woman, and there con he no doubt that his female friends tand their name was legbon) did lnelr hest to erasify his amiabae weakness.
 Picbard Cumbefland tells us, that his ,nordinate demands for has favorite bev- craze were occasionally difficult to com nlv with. on Sir Joshua Reynolds re- minding him that he had already con sumed ii cups he replied: FSir, oid not count your glasses of vine; why should you number my cups or tea aooirs Iaughinelv and in perfect good humor: "Sir I should have released our hostess from any furtaler trouble but you have reminded me that I want orse more cup TO make up the dozen, and l must re- ouest Mrs. Cumberland to round up my score" -

TREE STARTED FROM STAKE.
Story Told of Big Cottonwood In Kan
 sas Capitol Grounds.

From the Topeka Capital
 In an article concerning large old cot tonwood tree which stands near the east wing of the state house MT. D. o. Mo Cray claimed that the tree sprung up from a seed and that after withstanding many battles with both the elements of nature and with man 1t had survived un- til 1t had grown into an exceedingly large and magnificent shade tree.
 MT. w. H. Fernald of 5H Tyler street who has lived in Topeka for 4S years said there seemed to be a mistake about the real origin of this product of the for est. At the time when the east wing of the state house was built, MT. Fernald was small boy, and yet he says he re members distinctly about the trees. At that time he earned his first money car rying water for the stone cutters who were working on the building. During that time he claims that the tree found its origin.
 In speaking of the cottonwood, he said: T remember distinctly the day I went to work for the first time in my life for

wages. During the day the foreman cut down a cottonwood tree almost 12 or IA inches in diameter, and from 1t he ob- tained a post about 15 feet long. This post was set in the ground about five or six feet below the surface, and it was used to hold a guy rope from large wooden derrick which hoisted the stone for the building.
 Tt was wet weather at the time and within . week or so the post had started to grow. It kept on growing and as no

 A Worcester man who has been build ing a new mill for an addition to an ex- tensive paper-making plant in New York state says that the visitors who take the most pains to look the work over are Japanese They come often, though he is not sure that they are the same men each time, and he gathered from them that they are looking for points that they may build paper mills in Japan, where the pulp can be made of bamboo waste on a very cheap basis. With that well applied. the Japanese might supply the world with cheap paper.
