Olden Tea Liable Etiquette.

Tea table etiquette was somewhat
complicated in the days Of that hard
ened and shameless tea drinker," DR..
Johnson, when many people thought
nothing of drinking ten or twelve cups
at sitting. 1t was considered proper
for the cups and saucers of party Of
tea drinkers to be all passed up to the
hostess in one batch when replenish-
ment was considered necessary, and In
order that each person might be sure
of getting back the right cup the tea
spoons were numbered. When the
cups were passed up those who did
not require any more were supposed to
place the spoon in the cup. And this
writer remembers a very ancient dame
teaching a small boy to place his spoon
in his cup after the first cup had been
emptied He wondered for the rea-
son. Now he knows that tea was
once very expensive, and little boys
were not expected to ask against.

The Sneeze.

There exists an ancient semi-medical
statement which tells us that the
sneeze is healthy and should not be
suppressed. 1t is one of those stock
sayings which are always uttered by
laymen on the vague authority of
some traditional doctor whose name Is
suppressed in favor of the adjective
eminent" 1t is one of the things
about which you mentally pledge your
self to ask your own doctor. but when
it comes to the point you never do.
Either you do not get the opportunity
or if chance does present itself an
inner voice seems to warn you to let
it be until some future occasion. To
our own mind the odds are that sneez-
ing is wholesome habit, for it is an
unpleasant one. OF course there are
people who can sneeze and not look
ridiculous, but they are few. Any one
caught in the act of trying to suppress
a sneeze is a terrible addition TO the
landscape. and if you want to sneeze
and cannot what gargoyle could hold Il
candle to you? That hideously con-
torted face. that quivering mouth and
that detected nostril-why, your coun-
tenance is something worth building
two cathedrals round 1t is as though
some mad potter were gripping youn
facial clay and wrenching it this way
and that to amuse his frenzied humor.
Have you ever heard a succession Of
half a dozen sneezes? 1t is an ex-
perience that has an extraordinarily ir-
ritating effect.-London Globe.

A Spas Curious ORIGIN.


The discovery of the famous Wood
hall spa in Lincolnshire was very curl
Gus. Just about a hundred years ago
a shaft was sunk in search of coal but
the effort had to be abandoned owing
to a rush of water. In time the water
found its way into small brook. and
in due course the inhabitants began to
speak of the curative powers of the
stream. Science investigated the mys-
terry and discovered that the water in
the coalless shaft was richly impreg-
mated with various salts and bromine
and iodine. Biologists expressed the
interesting opinion that ages ago the
place was the sandy bed of a shallow
lagoon or bay Of a tropical sea where
seaweeds of giant growth abounded.
A mighty CONFUSION of nature lowered
the sea bed, great river flowed over
the place, and in time its debris was
formed into mass of spongy rock or
sandstone Forcing itself through this
mass at great pressure some 600 feet
below the ground, the water now ex-
tracts the constituents of the original
seaweed.-LondOn Family Herald.
