FAMOUS TEA DRINKERS.
Johnson Once Took twenty-five Cups
at a Sitting.

Napoleon, like Johnson, was a
hardened tea drinker, and so a Gen.
tury later was Mr.. Gladstone, who
confessed that he drank more tea
between midnight and 4 in the
morning than any other member of
the house Of commons and that the
strongest brew of it never interior
ed with his sleep.
The dish of tea was one of the
most important factors in john
sons life. Proficiency in the gentle
art of tea brewing was regarded by
him as an essential attribute of the
perfect woman, and there can be no
doubt that his feminine friends (and
their name was legion) did their
best to crafty his amiable weak
ness.
Richard Cumberland tells us,
says the London Gentlewoman, that
his inordinate demands for his fa-
yorate beverage were occasionally
difficult to comply with. On Sir
Joshua Reynolds reminding him he
had already consumed eleven cups
he replied: "Sir, / did not count
your glasses of wine. Why should
you number my cups of tea?" And
laughingly he added in perfect good
humor, "Sir, | should have released
our hostess from any further trou-
bic, but you have reminded me that
/ want one more cup to make up
the dozen, and / must request Mrs.
Cumberland to round up my score"
When he saw the complacency
with which the lady of the house
obeyed his behests he said cheerilyt
MADAM, ! must tell you for your
comfort You have escaped much
better than a certain lady did
awhile ago, on whose patience ! in
truded greatly more than ! have on
yours. She asked me for no other
purpose than to make a zany of me
and set me Cabling to a parcel of
people | knew nothing Of. So,
madam, | had my revenge on her,
for | swallowed five and twenty
cups of her tea"
Cumberland declared that his
wife would gladly have made tea
for Johnson as long as the New
river could have supplied her with
water, for it was then, and then
only, he was seen at his happiest
moments.
On his Scottish tour his inexora-
BILE demands for tea sorely tried the
patience of Lady Macleod of Dun
vegan, who after giving him his
sixteenth cup suggested that fur
Their supplies in a small basin might
be agreeable to him.
81 wonder, madam" he answered
roughly, "why all the ladies ask me
such questions. 1t is to ave your.
/, self trouble, madam, and not me-"
The lady was discreetly silent
and resumed her task.

a Sensitive Policeman.

An irascible policeman of Paris
arrested a peaceful citizen for call
ing him a ''geometrician"." The
citizen was talking rather loudly to
the proprietor of an old curiosity
shop, with whom he was at variance
as to the value of alleged a%ntiqui-
ties offered for sale in the estab-
lishment. The policeman in an ex-
cess of zeal entered the shop and
expostulated with the citizen for
shouting at the top of his voice.
"You are a geometrician," was
the retort of the person addressed.
"What is that vile name you call
ed me?" queried the policeman.

the other, who was then seized by
the collar of his overcoat and
marched to the station. There the
too sensitive policeman was inform
ed by his superior officer that there
was not even a shadow of a case
against the person arrested.

this by showing to the world a sue
