Tn England, France and Germany
tea is made in much the same pie

method Of enjoying the cup which
cheers is a more picturesque cere-
mony.
In China, for example, large,
artistic cup is set in brass or silver
holder, and in this cup the tea is
placed and covered with boiling wa
ter. A little saucer which just fits
it is placed inside the cup to keep
in the steam and favor of the tea.
When it is drawn it is poured from
the big cup into dainty little ones
no bigger than an eggshelL The
method followed In Japan is almost
similar.
Tea making in Russia is a simple
process involving merely the use Of
a samoyar and slice Of lemon or
Of lime.
Tn Tava tea is served IN broad, fat
cups and favored with Batavia ar

Here, in a village inhabited by

RIOT IN BROADWAY.

New York Telegram to the Chicago h.

 Four tiny red shoes on the feet of a black spaniel, a taxicab chauffeur who forgot to wait for his passenger and a statuesque brunette caused a Broadway riot at Grand street Monday.
 The brunette and the dog alighted from tho taxicab, and. after the former paid the chauffeur, went into a wholesale mill hnery store. From the doorway the woman called to the chauffeur to wait for her, but apparently he did not hear and drove away.
 Five minutes later the woman and the dog came out. A newsboy looked at the dog, then called to another newsie:
 Hey, Jimmie; pipe de red shoes on the purp.'
 This attracted the attention of the noon hour throng and soon the dog and his much embarrassed owner were sur rounded by crowd that blocked traffic.
 The woman tried to pick up the dog, but the dog was frightened by the crowd, lodged her and ran. his mistress at his heels. calling:

l.. Salmon in the Churchman.
 If the village is fairly large one there are several Bethels. There will at least be the Methodist, the Congregational and the Baptist and of the Methodist there are often several varieties, perplex- ing to the outsider In their attitude to- ward the church folk they may agree, but on other things they differ with all the acridity of nearness. There are many shades of doctrine. hard to be fathomed by the uninitiated. There is also the more vulgar competition of material prosperl- ty. One Bethel does not like to be out done by another; if the Baptist Ebenezer has a new coat of whitewash, the Meth odist Bethescda must revarnish its benches, and Congregational Salem vii repaint its texts. The conclusion of such doings must be celebrated by special ser vices and a beanfeast. Now and ther a shining light in one of the chapels goes wrong, commits some small peculation oi embezzlement. There Is so keen fiuttei in the rival dovecots that, if one wer~ cyncial, one might take this for joy Human nature is very strong in tht Bethels; we must not throw stones. They are small worlds of passion and desire love and charity, littleness; and great ness; where much of good enters, tho door cannot be quite shut on envying and backbitings. They have the complexity of our human life.''

Concerning Men. Dress

q was much interested in an article in last Sundays Age-Herald written by a New York critic on plays and players" said Henry l.. White, the well known clothing man. "A play now popular with Gotham theatregoers, Easy Money was outlined. It was staged from book written by James Montgomery Flagg. especially noticed that the most direct criticism was given to the style of ap- parel worn by the various players who, by the way, are mostly men. As the play goes it shows what good dress can accomplish for a man. The characters represent members of the Millionaires club into which a bankrupt had found himself through his efforts to appear all ways as the best dressed member of his set. The popularity of this play Is cen tered in the fact that the clothes worn by the principals are the most striking worn by men this season. One suit Is described as blue, one as a brown and one as a gray with accessories to match, but the models are all described as the English net soft roll. To show how closely Birmingham shops follow the lead of eastern fashions. these models were shown here early in tho season, but with not as much success as the critic claims for Gotham
