Drunkenness In China.

As regards the sobriety Of the Chi
nese there seems TO be a difference OF
opinion. and it is question upon
which writers disagree. but it seems to
be the general opinion that very few
intoxicated men or women are seen
upon the streets What drinking Is
done-and from all accounts there
must be considerable-is carried on
within doors. Habitual drunkenness Is
punished by banishment and servitude.
but occasional intoxicaion is only a
matter OF comment. and the result is
the notifying a person on the street in
which he lives that so and so is drunk.
and IL the subject is not boisterous
the affair is let drop. But, on the

UNDER OBLIGATION TO NONE
Columbia Has Many Students Who
Owe Their Education to Their

One man in three meets at least
part of his expenses by his own earn
ings at Columbia Beside the obvious
occupations, like tutoring, stenog
raphy, newspaper, library, gymnasium,
religious and social work of various
kinds, there is man who makes his
living dressing windows; another who
practices Osteopathy, another man
who divides his time between college
work and the management Of a theat-
'rical star; a teacher in the Ferrer
school, taxidermist, an expert in
color photography, vaudeville per-
former, hospital orderly, a Pullman
porter, q printer, technical assistants
from three of the great city laborato-
ries, a professional baseball player
and tree doctor.

yates started life as a newsboy. Last

tempted away from the college by the

IMPARTIN0 FRAGRANCE TO TEA
Species of Jasmine Flower Used by
the Chinese to Give Beverage
the Desired Aroma.

It is estimated that the Chinese con-
sumo annually five pounds of tea for
each member of the population. 1t
grows in small patches around the
homesteads, plantations being prac-
tically unknown. The leaves are pick
ed by members of the family and
dried in the sun, being subsequently
handed over to the middlemen, who
subject them to the process of firing.
In the case of green tea the leaves
are roasted almost Immediately after
they are gathered, and dried off quick
ly after being rolled into balls by hand
and squeezed. There are usually
three pickings in April, when
the leaves are covered with a whitish
down "a limited output known as pc
koe); toward the middle of May and
again in August. Brick tea is made
by pressing the damp tea in mold
in the form of brick, s to II inches
long and about one inch thick. The
fragrance of all scented tea is not
natural, but impaired by firing the
leaf with a sort of jasmine flower,
called by the Chinese "mok-lee." In
inferior teas the scenting flower is
strewn over the top of the tea when
packed and removed after a day or
two. Flowery pekoes are white, vel
vety tipped teas with no fragrance
and are unfermented.

Premature Burial.

M. Thoinot, professor of forensic
medicine to the Paris Academic de
Medicine, has been lecturing upon
premature burial, an accident the fear
Of which is, perhaps, not so prevalent
as it was in the days of Edgar Poe.
He gave an interesting description of
the many inventions devised for the
avoidance of this, including the inser-
tion Of breathing tube in the mouth
of the corpse, which is brought
through the lid of the coffin and pro
jected from the grave. But he declared
that no precaution was so satisfactory
as that of delaying the burial until
the signs of putrefaction are apparent
The provisions of the code Napoleon
which ordain that no burial shall take
place until twenty-four hours after
death and inspection by the medical
authority of the district, are, he said
entirely adequate on this point, and
if they are carried out to the full, nc
one need have any fear of being bur
led alive.

Finding the Crowned.

Occasionally one reads that, when
human bodies are thought to be in riv-
ers and cannot be found, "a loaf of
bread has been fioated down the
stream" But very few people have
the least idea what connection there
is between bread and the finding OF
bodies. When the river has been
dragged without result, loaf of bread
is cut in two, place followed out in
the middle, and quantity of quick
silver inserted. The two halves OF
the loaf are then fastened together
again, and the bread is thrown into
the water in the place where the body
is supposed to be. Without fail the
loaf floats along until it reaches the
vicinity of the body, and then revolves
quickly, lowering over the spot.

HOUSTON MARKET REVIEW

Houston, Texas, June THE first
bale OF cotton is expected in Houston
about June 20. Last year the first
bale was received June r. This esti-
mate is based on reports from CORE
spondents all over the state, which
show that 80 per cent of the crop is
planted and the remainder will be in
by June. In the extreme southwest
cotton is blooming and putting on
bolls, while in the north fully 80 per
cent has been chopped out 1t is con
sidered the crop has had an especially
good start and the stands are good.
The crop in the southern part of the
state is only about ten days late, while
in the central, northern and western
sections about fifteen days late and
the eastern section about twenty-one
days late. Weather conditions have
decidedly improved and with the
warmer nights of the past week the
crop was given decided improvement.
Few complaints are made regarding
insects; some worms have appeared
in section or two in the southwest,
but the damage amounted practically
to nothing. Cotton acreage this year
is estimated to be increased per cent
over that of last year
The Houston market for Texas po-
tatoes continues very strong. Prices
range around $1.30@1.4O per bushel,
which is higher than the California
stock, which was run out at $1.20 per
bushel. The acreage around Wharton
is reported much smaller this year,
due to cold weather up to late date,
while the crop is late also. The yield
is expected to be 20 to so per cent
of last years production.
The movement from the tomato
growing section is in full blast. The
bulk of receipts come from Jackson
vile. The acreage this year is placed
at 11,0OO acres.
