When Tea Was Not Popular.

A description of d model country rector's household in journal of l753 shows that tea drinking was then far from general: ~
 "His only article of luxury is tea, but the doctor says he would forbid that, if his wife could forget her London education. However, they seldom offer it but to the best com pany, and less than pound will last them a twelvemonth."
 A few years prior to this the Fe- male Spectator declared that the tea table costs more to support than would maintain two children at nurse. It is the utter destruction of all economy, the bane of good housewifery, and the source of idle ness. "-I.ondon Chronicle.

African Ivory SmuqqIers.

Ivory smuggling is looked upon as very serious crime in British East Africa, and this is onl y as it should be, for in order to secure the ivory the traders have to kill great numbers of elephants. The game preservation laws, particularly as regards elephants, are most severe, and woe bctide the man who is caught breaking the game regula- tions or in possession of illicit spells of the chase. The smuggling of ivory therefore is treated in the same manner as smuggling gems and clothing into the United States, illicit diamond buying in South Af- rica, or other forms of smuggling in England. The rigid laws, how ever, do not prevent the Arabs and Indians from indulging in an illegal trade in ivory on large scale.- Wide World.

The Antake. .Muko Yuma Crystal.

Possibly the most wonderful, as well as the largest crystal in the whole world is the one exhibited in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. It was found by explorers in the mountain of Antake-Muko- una, in Japan, in 1876. It has been own ed by several wealthy persons and was finally presented to the Boston museum by person who is said to have paid thousands of dollars for it. No little time and care were re- quired to cut, dress and polish this crystal, which resembles d huge bubble when viewed from a distance. It is about fourteen inches in di- amctcr the long way and twelve inches in thickness, weighing about eighteen pounds. Other crystals in different museums are large and handsome, but nothing like the An take c-Muko-Iuma stone.-Philadel- phia North American.

From Germany comes this story about a novelist and an editor. The editor had ordered a story of a cer- tain length, and the novelist had written several hundred words too many. In order to make the story fit the space at his disposal, the last few paragraphs were condensed into a single sentence. This is the way it rend: 'tVon Berken took small glass of whisky, his hat, his depar- ture. no notice of his pursuers, a re- volver out of his pocket, and finally, his life"

,0PENINa A NEW BOOK.
If Not Done Properly the Back of the Volume May Be Broken.

A great many people have the im- pression that there is no more meth cd in opening new book than in. taking the cover off shoe box. As matter of fact, a great deal de- pends on how carefully one opens brand new book.
 Many rare and costly volumes are damaged, and in s some instances the bindings are broken through carelessness or ignorance in opening them. Do not yank the covers wide open haphazard or hold the leaves tightly and force the covers wide open.
 Just hold the book with its back on smooth or covered table, let the front board down, then the oth- CT, holding the leaves in one hand while you open d few leaves at the back, then few at the front, and so on alternately opening back and front, gently pressing open the sec tions till you reach the center of the volume. Do this two or three times and you will obtain the best results. Open the volume violently or care lessly in any one place and you will likely break the back and cause a start in the leaves.
 Never force the back. If it does not yield to gentle opening, the back is too tightly or strongly lined. "A connoisseur," writes William Matthews in "Modern Bookbind- ing Practically Considered" "years ago an excellent customer of mine, who thought he knew perfectly how to handle books, came into my office when 1 had an expensive binding just brought from the bindery ready l to be sent home. He, before my | eyes, took hold of the volume, and tightly holding the leaves in each hand instead of allowing them free play, violently opened it in the cen ter and exclaimed, How beautifully your bindings openn 1 almost faint ed. He had broken the back of the volume, and it had to be rebound .''

 erous Grimes.

New York, Oct. 1l.--Fuur men who were arrested by the secret service officials and turned over to the state authorities on the charge of attempting to pass counterfeit money have confess ed. Their confession duplicates many others in hundreds of crimes which include dynamiting of buildings, arson, murder, lar ceny and blackmalling.
 The confessions implicate for fly persons, fourteen of whom have been arrested. The lives of the men who have confessed have been threatened by the others. 'The police believe that the arrest of the four men and their con- fessiOns will lead to the breaking up and conviction of the gang which has kept the foreign set tIement here in a state of ter POP for years. The confessions have been verified by the reports of the police ledger of crimes which were never cleared up.
 The men who confessed are all foreigners and Wero attempting to circulate counterfeit money, and their capture was brought about through d clever rusc by the secret service detectives.

Bob Fitzsimmons wife has Joined the

tough luck in this respect.
Statistics recently compiled by the
American Medical association show that
boxers outlive college athletes by many
years.
The reason given is that college ath-
letes are kept in constant training, which
is terrible strain on the nerves and also
weakens the heart, whereas boxers are
allowed to rest up after every hard con-
test.

nON'T you believe that this kid
Osborn, who is trying out for

Use. After Bill Smith ran his reg
ular infield off the field yesterday
he installed Joe Agler as catcher and
started working out the yannigan
infield. And when he did, Osborn
stood the fans on their tiptoes
with his clever stuff. He and Agler
tried to show each other up, and
the speed they used in burning the
ball back and forth would have
made a creased lightning flash turn
pink with envy. Osborn has more .
reach than Jim Fox ever possessed,
is good on ground balls, and throws
the pill around fit to kill his team
mates.
Osborn has a good bit to learn
about the position, and is especial
ly uncertain about the footwork
part of the job. And it's an aw-
full thing to get a couple of feet

Osborn is so promising that the

fastest infield this season that
ever played at Ponce DeLeon.
This sounds like an idle vaporing,
of course. But hammer a nail in
IT. right at this point: If nobody
breaks leg or. springs a splint
or a bone SPAWN the Crackers will
show more infield speed than any
Southern league club in the men,
ory of mortal fan.
Don't take my word for task
any of the two or three hundred
fans who turned out yesterday aft
ernoon for the practice.
When Bill Smith trotted out his
regular infield he handed them the
time-honored adJuration. "A little
pep. now. boys. Let's show 'em
something"
Well, they did.

mud that was dazzling. They stop
ped the hottest efforts of the pep
perry bat of Bill Smith. they threw
the ball around with mid-July
speed and accuracy, and they kept
up a running fire of yells and
whoOps that would have made even
q funeral sound lively.
THE new man in the infleld was
Leonard Dobard. He has turned
up in corking condition, after
winter of play in New Orleans, and
seems set to win a regular posi-
ton. He must account, however,
for Walter Heating, as clever
fielder and as neat a throWer as
ever the league saw. The competi-
ton for that shortstop position is
going to be the real fireworks this
spring.
Wally Smith continues to play
like regular at third. and looks
more like a million dollars with
every day that passes. He gets be-
hind a ball beautifully has fine. big,
useful hands, and can get the ball
away fast after he lands it.
OF course, Agler and Alperman
are as good as the best. Agler is
