Tea Was Not Popular IN 1853.

A description Of a model country
rector's household in an issue of the
London World for 1853 shows that
tea-drinking was then far from gen.
eral: His op;y article Of luxury is
tea, but the doctor says he would
forbid that, II his wife could forget
her London education. However, they
seldom offer 1t but to the best com
pany, and less than a pound will last
them a twelvemonth."
A few years prior to this the Fee
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 house
wifery, and the source Of ~idleness."

than the case OF Thomas Guy, who
built and endowed the great Guys
hospital OF London. at a COST of E2S8,-
302 nearly two hundred years ago.
Guy had q maid servant Of strictly
frugal habits, who made his wishes

make her his wife. The necessary

repairs wer ordered by Mr.. Guy In
and about his house. The latter in

opposite the street door. 1t so hap

served a piece OF pavement beyond
her masters house that required
mending, and of her own accord she
gave orders to the workmen to do this.
This was done in the absence Of Mr.
Guy, who on seeing more work done
than he had ordered was informed
that the additional work had been
done by the m%istress's orders. There.
upon Guy told Sally she had forgotten
her position, and added: "If you take
upon yourself to order matters con.
trary to my instructions before we are
married, what will you not do afteri
I renounce my matrimonial intentions
toward you" So Sally lost a rich and
grouchy husband and London gained q

WOE BROUGHT MOTHER FOX
Tragic Moments for Vixen After She
Had Carried Poisoned Food to
Her Litter.

On one of the large estates in Hing
ham, a few weeks ago. a fox was found
to be destroying poultry. The time OF
the raids, and their holiness, were
proof enough that the fox must be a
female with young. Poisoned meat
was prepared for her, and at once the
raids ceased. A few days later n of
the worEmen of the estate came upon
the den of a fox, at the mouth OF
which lay dead a whole litter OF young
ones. They had been poisoned. The
mother had not eaten the doctored
food herself. but had carried it home
to her family. They must have died
in the burrow, for it was evident from
the signs that she had dragged them
out into the fresh air to revive them,
and deposited them gently on the
sand by the hole. Then in her per
pleXity she had brought various It'd
bits of mouse and bird and rabbit and
placed at their noses TO tempt them
to wake up out of their strange sleep
and eat as hungry children ought to
eat. Who knows how long she watch
ed beside the still forms, and what
her emotions were? She must have
left the neighborhood soon after, how
ever, for no one has seen her since
about the estate.-Dallas Lore Sharp,
in the Atlantic.

BREED HORSES FOR PROFIT
Or. Alexander Urges Home Production
of Pure-5red Stations to Re-
place the Grades.

The principles to be followed by
farmers in improving their horse
stock are: The use of sound, pure
bred sires of a particular breed, the
use OF sound mares, the feeding and
care OF the mare and foal aud the
working of the stations regularly. DR..
Alexander, OF the Wisconsin expert
ment station, further urges the home
production of pure-bred stations to
replace the grades, mongrels and
scrubs too often used at present. He
urges that grade horses replace scrubs
In farm teams. The organization of
community associations will greatly
facilitate the promoting Of horse
breeding and the encouragement Of
the industry may be furthered by
prizes at country fairs for pure-bred
stations, mares and colts.
The evil effects which result from
the use of unusual sires and dams and
the transmission of hereditary dis
eases are especially emphasized. 1t
should be easily possible to increase
the value of Wisconsin horses Mt beast
$40 per head during the next five
years, the author points out, by the
use of sound stations and mares, and
this would mean an addition of at
least $4,000 900 to the total value OF
the horse stock Of the state.

Lons-Lost Mine Found.

The long-lost Cinnabar mine in Ne
vada has been found after a search
tasting more than thirty years. The
discovery was made some weeks ago
by George Keough while searching for
strayed stock, seven miles from Nina.
The discovery was kept secret UNI
til claims were staked and assays
made of the ore, showing it to run high
in quicksilver.
Following the announcement of the
finding of the mine a rush was started
for the district in which it is located.
Hawthorne, after finding the Gin
nabar deposit, became confused and
lost his way on the desert. He val
dered about for several days and final
ly landed at New Boston, formerly a
thriving camp, but now extinct.
He conducted expedition after expe-
dition in search of the deposit, but his
efforts were f%ruitless. He described
the location, stating that two petrihed
trees stood near the mound.
The stone trees are to be noticed
today as described by the old pros
pector, who died thirteen years ago.

cRy 8. B. SHAW

Packing is equally as important as
any of the other operations involved
In the preparation of fruits and vege-
tables for market. There are several
important points in connection with
this work worthy Of consideration,
probably the most important OF which
is honesty. Every growers pack
should be as good as his bond" Gus"
toners want honestly packed goods
and they are usually willing to pay
good prices for them. A grower never
loses by placing honestly packed pro-
duce on any market, be it at'home or
abroad.
Each package should be filled with
the same grade throughout. II this
is done the top may be faced" Fac
ing is the arrangement Of from one
to three layers Of fruit on the top, thus
increasing the attractiveness OF the
package. This is an honest and per
fectly legitimate practice provided the
