The 1ea CheworS,

''Chewing tea comes from SIAM" said
a traveller. 'They call 1t mieng. 1t Is
in q plug, like chewing tobacco, and 1t
has villainous smell. This smell is
due to the fermentation it has under
gone. The tea that the Siamese en-
ploy for chewing purposes is very
coarse, rank plant. 1t is gathered like
ordinary tea, but the leaves after being
compressed into plugs are buried for
fifteen days. They ferment during
burial. On their resurrection they are
very, very fragrant indeed. The STA
mese boatmen chew tea. The rickshaw
men chew it. The litterateurs chew it.
They say it makes them work better.
This is probably the truth, for chew
ed a plug myself in Anam, and it ex-
hilarated me strangely. But the after
math was bad-a headache, smarting
eyes and nervous depression. Wash.

Queen Elizabeth and Her Portraits
The modern grievance Of the Illus
trious against the photographer Of
the halfpenny paper has a parallel al
far back as the early part Of Queen
Elizabeth's reign. when her minister,
Cecil, issued proclamation against
the circulation of i'll favored licensees
Of her majesty. It stated that, as her
majesty had perceived "a great num-
Der of her loving subjects to be much
grieved with the errors and deformf-
ties' displayed in many popular por.
traits Of herself, she had been pleas
cd, "being herein, as it were, overcome
with the continual requests of 30
many Of her nobility and lords, to
command that some cunning person
should shortly make portrait Of her
person or visage to be participated to
others for the comfort Of her loving
0ubjects."

What ne Heard.


John Is his name. and he lives In
Newburg. Further personal details
are not necessary. New, John has a
wife who is not as charitable as she
might be, and she has a woman friend
who has domestic troubles of her own
and therefore can and does sympathize
with Johns wife. Just what time it
was when John came in the other
morning deponents knoweth not, but
certainly it was no sort Of time for a
married man to be getting home, and
his wife told him 20, though he knew
1t perfectly we'll without being told.
Next morning after John had gone to
his Office his wife called up the other
woman on the telephone and told
about John. The other woman was all
sympathy, and what the two had to
say about the kind Of husband John
was was more than plenty. In the
thick Of 1t friend of Johns got on the
wire-not Intentionally, Of course, for
he thought John was model, but he
got there, and it sounded good enough
to him to stay and listen. But not
for long. Presently he coughed. and
there was sudden silence.

Ho Worried the Judae.

A story was recently told Of the elder
Judge Peckham, father Of the supreme
court justice. In the early days Of
dentistry a hickory plug was put into
the cavity to ill the space where q
tooth ought to be. This plug had to
be gently pounded into it's desired po-
sition.' The old Judge was somewhat
addicted to strong language. and when
the dentist began his wor kthe judge
INDUCED in some classic comment. As
the tapping of the plug continued he
threw all dignity to the four winds of
heaven. and his language became de-
cidedly more forcible than elegant"
When, however. he arose from the
chair after what seemed to him an
interminable period Of agony he pulled
out all the stops in his vocabulary for
a grand climax. The impression on
his listener seems to have been deep
and lasting. As the Judge passed out
the dentist grimly remarked to wait
ing patient:
wasn't 1t beautiful? It wasn't real
~ necessary to pound half so long,
but I did so enjoy bis infection that I
almost pounded the hickory plug into
splinters. Wonderful command Of
language the Judge hasv-Case and

Crossed by the CORPSE.

Crossed by the Corpse.
Most of Walthamstow is too modern
to have much mystery about it, but
the Walthamstow strip" of Legion
preserves the memory Of curious old
rule. Barely hundred yards broad,
this strip Of land, belonging to Wal
thamstow parish, ran right across Ley
ton from the lea to Snaresbrook, par
allel with the southern border Of Wal
thamstow. How came Legion to be
crossed by this alien strip? Legion,
it was said, had once refused to bury
q body found in the lea; Walthamstow
came forward to do 1t. And in such
cases 1t was the rule that the volun-
teering parish might take from the
other as much land right through to
the other side as the men who carried
the corpse could cover walking in line
hand in hand arms extended. The
inconvenient result worried both par
ishes until the growth Of population
made new parishes necessary.-London

Guilty arising from the commences Of
