LEGEND OF THE TEAPOT.
Origin of the Beverage as the Tale Is
Told In China.

old IN Cnlna'
The Chinese claim to be the first
users of tea as a drink, and how it
originated is told in a pretty little
legend that dates from 1000 years be-
fore the coming of Christ.
A daughter of a then reigning SOW
ereign fell in love with a young noble
man whose humble birth excluded him
from marrying her. They managed to
exchange glances, and he occasionally
gathered q few blossoms and had them
conveyed to her.
One day In the palace garden the
sweethearts met, and the young man
endeavored to give her few flowers,
but so keen was the watchfulness Of
her attendants that all she could grasp
was little twig with green leaves.
On reaching her room she put the
twig in water. and toward 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 afterward she had
punches of the tea tree brought to her,
which she treated in the same way.
Imitation being the sincerest form
of flattery. the ladies of the court tried
the experiment and with such pleasing
results that the custom spread through
out the kingdom-and the great Chi
nese tea industry became one of the
greatest businesses in the world-I4on-
don Tit-Bits.

PAINT THE SCREW HOLES.
Then You Can Use Them Over and
Over Again Without Trouble.


Many persons experience consider
able difficulty in getting screws to hold
in screen doors and other movable con
veniences which are put up and taken
down frequently and which are held
in place by screws. The holes occu-
pied by the screws become worn, and
the screws are often quite loose, caus-
ing doors to sag and be otherwise out
of proper order.
Bits of paper, strings and small
pieces of wood are used to partially
fill up the holes SO as to cause the
screws to he tight but these work out
and cause great annoyance, and bet
ter method is greatly desired.
a coat Of paint on the inside Of the
screw holes is the most satisfactory
remedy for such an annoyance.
When screws are removed paint the
holes with a small pencil brush or a
bit of cloth twisted and dipped in the
paint. When the paint fills the creases
made by the threads on the screw and
thoroughly dries the screw will fit
tightly the next time 1t is thrust into
the cavity. The painting should be
done each time the screws are re-
moved, and 1t will protect the wood as
well as make the holes ready for the
readjustment of the door or other OBJ

Brown Swiss cattle in their native
land are Of light or dark brown
color, a mouse brown being pOpu-
lar. They are large, heavy headed,
thick Of neck and heavy Of bone.
The thickness of neck, however. is
relative, and one will see many
cows with very neat necks and
heads If one could judge by ex-
ternal appearances he might think
that tuberculosis was unknown

USE C0RNSTALKS
FOR FERTILIZER
Besides Nitrogen Humus Is Fur
nlshed to Improve Water
Holding Capacity Of Soil.

Cornstalks are valuable as a fer.
tilizer and should be left on the field
after cutting. The nitrogen which an
acre of stalks contains would cost at
least four dollars and half if bought
in the form OF commercial fertilizers.
says u. c. Schafer OF the agrouomy de.
partment at the Kansas Agricultural
college When stalks are burned. as
Is often the case, all nitrogen is lost.
Besides the nitrogen the stalks sup.
ply the soil with humus, which i'm.
proves the water-holding capacity and
furnishes food for certain beneficial
bacteria.
Many persons believe that chinch
bugs winter on the cornstalks, Some
do go into winter quarters there. but
due to the poor protection which the
stalks afford very small per cent,
II any, survive the winter. according
TO George A. Dean OF the entomology
department.
The stalks should be cut in early
spring with stalk cutter or a disk
II disk is used. the field should be
disked both ways This cuts the
stalks and at the same time leaves a
good mulch, which prevents rapid
evaporation Of the soil moisture.
