The four spots now on the suns
surface are undoubtedly the frag.

its greatest size was 100000 miles
across. rhis large spot has broken
up into four smaller ones, the larg.

A Rich Compliment.

The papers tell of man who
sent check OF $1,000 to the old
preacher who married him. There
l. token OF appreciation that
sounds like song of the stars.
What wife he must have, and
what compliment to her that her
husband should thus take a thous.
and dollars from the bank and give
IL 10 that old preacher. We sus-
pect the reason that more of this
Is not done is because the men who
have the incest wives haven't the
$1,000 to spare.
We know the preachers will thank
u for printing this item, since it
contains a suggestion that the s.
OF $40 they originally receive isn't
drop in the bucket compared
with the value they transferred to
these men in providing them with
the finest wives in all the uni
verse. May be there are others.
This thing of mingling a favor like
a 800 or $1,000 check with the
goldenest OF memories is deed
that spangles ones life like con-
stellation, What a great fortune was
that mans who had 81 900 at hand
tu thus celebrate his tender graft.

The girls used 20 WOO:
The pretty roundness of their forms
Was pleasant to the view,
They never seem a bit too plump, -
SO sweet and fair were they:
But now. most all the girls | meet,
\ breath would blow away.
I remember, remember
The roses red and white
That bloomed upon the apple cheeks
OF little Lucy Wright.
But now on different lines she's built,
Simmer she's tried to get,
And though she weighs but ninety
pounds,
That girl is banting yet.

With round and dimpled face,

Tea Flowers and the Way They Are
Gathered In China.
Early writer's speak of tea as hav-
ing two varieties. One. Thea bohea,
they supposed to be the source of the
black and the other. Thea viridis, of
the green tea. But Robert Fortune
established the fact in 1S43 that. while
these two varieties existed. black and
green were made indifierently from
both.
The tea flower Is small. single. white
and has no smell. The seeds are three
small nuts. like filberts, and have an
oily and bitter taste. The leaves only
are used Only the young leaves are
gathered. and the younger and teDderer
they are the better. They are collect
