His Own Cup of Tea.

There Is one man at least in New
York who has satisfactorily solved the
problem Of getting a cup Of tea to his
liking. no matter where he may be.
Ordered by his physician to quit cot
fee, he discovered that nothing could be
more uncertain as to quality and MAX.
ing than restaurant tea. Then his wife
came to the rescue with a birthday
gift. Now when he sits down to lunch.
con he orders a pot Of boiling water
Then from an inside coat pocket he
produces small green canton flannel
bag and little package with the fra
grant aroma Of Flowery Pekoe. From
the bag he conjures teaspoon fash
Toned on the principle Of his wife's tea
ball. A generous pinch of tightly curl
ed leaves from the package, a click of
the spoons perforated lid, and he dips
1t into the water and glances over the
menu for his favorite luncheon dish. A
few seconds and the tea Is made, the
spoon lifted out for use later. Coffee il
forgotten, and the midday meal Is q
feast with piping hot bowl of tea"
made just right, to add a finishing
touch.--New York Post.

A Bank on Two Leqs.

For more than thirty years the
most popular woodsmans bank in
Maine was bank on two legs" says
Major Holmes Day. author OF King
Spruce" Until he was over seventy
years old Uncle Nate Swan was con-
ductor on the Bangor and Pisca taquis
railroad, running between the city and
Moosehead lake. With him rode the
woods aud driving crews When they
forgot themselves and made Il racket
on his train he used to cuff them into
submission, and 10 man ever raised
his hand against Uncle Nate. When
the men came out OF the woods with
their pay most of them realized from
bitter experience that the city folks
would get all their money away from
them in q few days. AS soon as they
would get aboard the train they would
begin to strip ten dollar bills off their
rolls and hand the money to Uncle
Nate to sink for them, banking it on
call. They never forgot, nor did he
and in all the years there was never
dispute between Conductor Swan
and any Of his depositors When they
came back on his train they were sure
of enough money for their fare and
their tobacco at the lake Quitting

The Tulip Craze.

About the middle Of the seventeenth
century the tulip became known in
Germany. and a scientist named Ges
ner gives the first description Of his
flower. First only the yellow variety
was known. and then other colors were
produced by crossing. The Dutch, par
tucularly the citizens of Harlem, pro
this flower and obtained enormous
prices for them.
In 1854 the trade IN tulips assumed q
peculiar turn. 1t degenerated into a
sort of game of chance. so that in
1873 the authorities felt called upon to
interfere and to issue edits against
extravaganza in tulips, as they former
~ had against trains and laces This
interference would seem to be justified
If one reads that in 1905 single flower
of this sort called the Viceori, was
paid for with two cargOes Of wheat,
four cargoes Of rye, four fat oxen,
eight fat hogs, twelve fat sheep, two
casks Of wine, four barrels Of beer,
two tons of butter. 1000 pounds of
cheese. a complete bed. a suit Of cloth
ing and silver tankard
Another bulb, the Semper Augustus,
was paid for with 400 gold guilders
and coach with double team Of
horses. In HARLEM the tulip craze
reached its height in the decade from
1880 to 1910, when price OF 1900
gold ylIilderS IA hOrt so 600 American
money is recorded for a single bulb.

first announced Diana, who was
adorable in a pink lingerie frock, "and

cit looks as If we are in for what
the well will reveal" laughed Diana
as Judge Underwood came up to her.
You are the general" he said, ''and
I'm reporting for orders" The week s
intimacy had put them on terms of the
most friendly compaionship. although
long ago the judge had consigned his
foolish hopes to the dead past.
But Diana. who had never been very
astute in arithmetic, was doubly so in
mind reading. and she penetrated the
judges most sacred thoughts with
subtle divination Then" said she,
''if you're good soldier you will go
down to the old well in the corner of
the cabbage field, glance in and turn
away quickly. coming as fast as you
can back to the house. Wait till you
hear the clock strike g." And she left
him before he could protest.
For an instant the judge stood gaz-
ing after her with wistful. troubled
eyes. Then, summoning his dignity
and his courage-he slipped. unnoticed.
through one of the low windows and
walked leisurely down to where the
old well doomed, a dilapidated hulk,
from which all water had been drawn,
in the half light Of the dilatory stars.
He paused a second, with his hand
on the crumbling bucket shelf Then
he took a deep breath and looked down
into a solemn pair of unwinking brown
eyes. His heart gave terrific, most
unma gisterial throb and then the judge
did very arbitrary thing. He DELHI
erately struck a match, throwing it's
bright yellow glare across two Grim
son cheeks, a shining nest Of golden
brown hair and clouds Of pink dimity.
At this juncture the judge quite for
got that he was almost forty. that he
was wearing his immaculate pearl
gray, that a million stars were looking
ON, for he vaulted lightly the Enclosure
Of the we'll and dropped down, four
feet, into the soft sand beside his "fu-
ture wife" and folded her. regardless,
in his arms ..
"But you were to look and run right

tone. you didn't play fair; it's all q

Diana gurgled softly as he kissed her
again. Then they scrambled out to-
