HADES AND COUNTRY EDITORS

This hell proposition must be wor-
rying some folk. We have been get
ting a supply of no-hell literature,
a Kansas product, vehemently deny
ing the existence of hell, heaven,
deity or devil, and puts forward the
comfortable theory that the ultimate
end of mankind is to be eaten by
by worms. If we though so our
selves, we would be tempted to eat
some of thos worms first, to kinder
get even with the eusses, but our
honest opinion is that the gentleman
from Kansas has beaten his country
editor out of a subscriptio mill, and
is trying to square himself with the
hereafter. Well bet ten cents, con-
versational money, that the worms
will eat him, all right.
Most every country editor thinks
if there is no hell there should be
one for those who beat their news
accounts. An editor stood at
the bedside of a delinquent subscrib-
er who was dying. How does the
future look to you?" asked the edi-
tor. Everything looks bright" re-
piled the dying subscriber. YES"
retorted the editor, you will see the
blaze in a few minutes."-Carrizo

s%TEvENSoN's REGRET.
The Authors Picture OF the British
Throne at WASHINGTON.


Mrs. Osbourne gives an interesting
glimpse Of Robert Louis Stevenson In
conversation in the following account
of his second call on Mrs. Virgil VIII
liams:
"He had a peculiarly beautiful voice.
with a rich. round. but not provincial
Scotch accent While he c~onversed
with Mrs. Williams he paced up and
down the floor In his usual fashion.
with rapid and graceful motion, or
hung on the mantelpiece. 1t was not
strange that the conversation turned
on the subject of the relations OF
America and Great Britain.
stevenson regretted that England
had lost the colonies. He pictured the
states under British rule, with Amer
.ca the seat Of government of the
whole empire. He dwelt upon the
benefits that would have accrued to
the whole English speaking race from
such a union and TO all mankind. with
Great Britain and America ruling the
world for peace and righteousness. In
a flight Of fancy and with all the rich
ness of language that was his be pic
tured the actual transporting of the
royal family and all the paraphernaIia
Of government across the Atlantic, the
pageantry Of the ships and the gor-
geous landing and the setting up OF
the throne at Washington.
while Stevenson was talking Mr..
Williams came In. He looked doubt
fully from Mrs. Williams to the stran-
ger. for, as he told his wife afterward.
he thought a tramp had got In and she
could not get him out again. But 1t
was only for a moment. and soon the
two men were talking with all the In
terest and pleasure Of those who feel
much in common. and from that day
began a friendship that never ended
until the death Of Virgil Williams
Bookman.

POISONING BY TEA.
Whom the Cup That Cheers May Be-
come a Menace to Health.


1t Is only In comparatively recent
times that ten drinking has been at all
prevalent in this country. Coffee Is the
national drink and is more largely con-
Sumed by far than any other beverage.
But tea drinking Is making great
strides, the reason for which is not
hard to find. The advantages Of tea
over coffee as a stimulating and cheer
ing drink do not consist in a SUPERIOR
ty Of its component parts, but In the
fact that a good tea a be more easily
produced than q good coffee and that it
is more easily made than coffee.
A very great deal OF the virtue Of
coffee consists in the manner in which
1t is converted into q beverage, and
seldom Is the art carried out efficiently.
Many Of the connections which are sold
as coffee in restaurants and consumed
In private houses are not worthy of the
name. On the other hand. tea Is easily
made. the chief point being that the
water used for the infusion boils and
that the infusion Is drunk when fresh
and not allowed to stand.
However. there are occasions. and
these not i~nfrequent, when tea drink
ing Is harmful. Tea poisoning is a
more or less common condition in those
countries In which the habit Of drink
ing tea is prevalent, as in England, for
instance. Among the working classes
the women often become addicted to
the tea habit and not only drink to ex-
cess, slipping tea throughout the day.
but drink 1t In such a state that the
poisonous properties are most evident,
The tea Is in a stewed condition. the
pot being kept on the stove the whole
day. Men. too, who work at indoor
trades and at trades which from their
nature tend to create thirst often be-
come excessive tea drinkers. Medical
