CHINESE FIRST TO USE TEA
How the Custom Originated 10 Told
In Legend Dating 1000 Years Be-
fore Coming Of Christ.

Tho Chinese claim to be the first
users OF tea as n drink, and how 1t
originated is told in a pretty little
legend that dates from 1000 years be-
fore the coming Of Christ
A daughter of then reigning SOW
ereign fell in love with a young noble
man whose humble birth excluded
him from marrying her. They man
aged to exchange glances. and he oc-
casionally gathered a few blossoms
and had them conveyed to her.
One day in the palace garden the
denvored to give her few flowers;
but so keen was the watchfulness Of
her attendants all she could grasp was
little twig with green leaves.
On reaching her room she put the
twig In water. and towards evening
she drank the water in which the
twig had been kept. So agreeable
was the Taste that she even ate the
leaves and stalks. Every day after
wards she had lunches OF the tea
tree brought her. which she treated
In the same way.
Imitation being the sincerest form
OF fiattery, the ladies of the court tried
the experiment and with such pleas
ing results that the custom spread
throughout the kingdom-and the
great Chinese tea industry became a
fait accompli.

HOW SOME WORDS ORIGINATE
CONSTRUCTION Of Language as Much q
Piece Of Carpentry as Building
Of Ordinary House.

Word br:iding is as much piece OF
carpentry as is house building. Only 1t
takes longer. Sometimes a century or
more. And by that time the words
arst meaning is usually changed.
Fo, example. the old word for
"nejghbor" was "sib." Ones good
neighbor was known as ones good
sih This became shortened to god
sib." and later to gossip" Then the
words whole meaning changed and
gossip no longer meant good neighbor.
,ut applied to the sort of talk ex-
changed between good neighbors.
Take the word farmer" too. The
Did word for farmer" was "boor"
(And "boor" later was used for de-
sccibing farmerlike or rough persons)
The farmer living nearest to one was
known as the "nighboor." and this
phrase. in course of time. was twist
ed to "neighbor."
You've heard the proverb Little
pitchers have big ears Well. It
doesn't refer to the utensil that holds
water or goes to the corner side door
pitcher" was a slang term with
some such meaning as our word
chap" or fellow" Thus, Little fel.
lows have big ears" is more sensi-

The relic was taken charge of by
the police and Nemphos was locked up
on the charge of receiving stolen
goods. According to Nemphos. he
came into possession of the figure ten
years ago. He obtained It. he said,
from n fellow countryman as security
for loan.
The figure. which is OF marble. is
said to DO one OF the finest examples
extant OF the sculpture OF the Archaic
period. Its age is placed at at least
5000 years. While II has money
value OF quarter of million dollars,
because OF it's sentimental and histor
