Nearly 5000 cups Of tea are annual
ly drunk by each individual in Great
Britain, for the estimate per head Ia
SIX and one-half pounds. New Yea,
landers enjoy fully seven and one-half
pounds per head, while less than one
pound per head Is credited to Russia,
In a9l2 A6b,000,00O pounds Of Indian
tea were consumed as against las, 000,-
900 pounds ten years ago.
A comparison might easily be made
between the pot that stews all day
on the hob and the morning teapot Of
the middle-class household. American
women Of taste will not even pour wa
ter on tea to make a second brew out
Of the same leaves. They habitually
use the finest quality of tea, generally
putting forth China and Indian on the
table, and after one pouring Of the Ia
fused beverage. the leaves are thrown
away and second supply put into the
receptacle.
Unfortunately, In Britain the same
kind Of teapot does service every
morning. The mistress of the average
home does not take the trouble to note
new systems of producing better re-
suits than those already known.
Where the cult Of tea Is really prac-
ticed the same mixture Ii not served
every morning.

Poor But Just.

In one sense OF the word he was
very poor. In another sense he was
not, for he had a cousin who drew q
big salary as manager of a football
club. A few days ago he called on
him.

catch in his throat, ~can you give
something to help me? have just
spent my last penny" He always
made a point Of spending his last
penny before going to see his cousin
The aff1uent relative smiled, unex-
pectedly.

fellow two shillings to mark out the
ground for next Saturdays cup-tie

and you're a relation, I'll pay you FIVE

Thanks awfully, Jack; but though
I'm poor, should not like to rob an
other man of his job. SO pay me the
extra three shiilings and let him mark
the ground for two bob as agreed

The principal of the Hawthorne
grammar school of Oak Park. H., a
wealthy suburb of Chicago. gave an
exposition of how the word news"
was originated that is a new one to
the editor. He stood before his pupils.
and. pointing in each directions, said:
The word news is made up of the
initials of the four points of the COM
pass and was so made because news
comes from the North, the East, the
West and the South" 1t is character
istic Of newspapers that while the
news Of the days happenings comes
from all points Of the compass, SO the
advertising columns of newspapers tell
the business news Of the day as 1t
happens In all directions from the
centering point Of public information.
A person who reads the news" fails
to get all the news unless he also
reads the advertisements.

MUST BE LEARNED IN YOUTH
Always Difficult to Acquire New Lam
euaee When Onoe Manhood Has
Been Reached.

The time to learn a language Is
when you are young, the younger the
better. This Is the advice of writer
in the Atlantic. We learn our own
language as children. The older we
grow the harder 1t is, because it
means not merely learning by heart
a great many words. not merely train
ing the palate and tongue to produce
different sounds. but adopting a new
attitude of mind.
Nothing definite has been discovered
as to the localization of faculties in
the brain, therefore nothing certain
is known, but it has always seemed to
me and to others whom l have con-
suited that when you learn new Ian
guage you are exercising and devel-
oping a new piece of brain which ac-
centuates your tongue. You switch
off one center and switch on another.
You will always notice in yourself
and others that there is definite
pause when the change of language
is made. Now it becomes every year
more difficult to awaken an unused
part of the brain and bring 1t into
active use, and to begin at twenty
three Is late.

The original home of the Knights
Templar at Rhodes, has just been pur-
chased by NJ Bompard. the French
ambassador at Constantinopie. He has
made a present Of 1t to the French ma
ton. This constitutes one Of the most
glorious historical souvenirs of French
prowess In the east, as 1t was there
that the military order of the Knights
Of st. John Of Jerusalem, the famous
Crusaders, installed themselves when
driven out of Palestine in 1910. They
were able to remain there for two cen
turtles, until in 1922. after the desper-
ate six months siege, they capitulated
to SULLIVAN the Magnificent and took
refuge at Malta The period Of their
star at Rhodes was marked by numer-
GUS fine monuments. and the Hosiery
which now reverts to France is gem
of middle age architecture and deco
ration which will now be scrupulously
kept up, and form an attraction for
tourists and visitors henceforth.

PROMOTING Brain Growth.

Recent experiments with the pineal
gland afford an interesting field for
speculation. Thus of eight young
guinea pigs four which were fed with
pineal extract gained SO per cent in
weight, while the controls gained only
rs per cent, and a very similar effect
was seen in kittens and young rab-
bits. In children similarly treated
the physical progress was less than
that in controls, /. g., children who
were given no pineal extract. where
as the mental improvement was mark
eddy greater. The contrast between
the physical growth of the animals
and the conditions seen in the chill
dren who developed mentally but not
physically Is striking. Trial of pineal
extract In institutions for mentally
defective children presents no great
difficulty, and further observation
might wen be carried out.-New York

Wisdom on the Bench.

"Arabiniana" is a BOOK containing
sayings of Sergeant William Arabin,
who was Judge at the Old Bailey,
famous London court, from 1880 to
1889. Once ne said:
IF you can show precisely at what
moment the offense was committed
and prove that the prisoner was not
there when he did 1t, he could not pos
sibly have done it"
And he added:
I'VE cannot divest ourselves of COM
mon sense in court of Justice"
Once he delivered this sage opin-
ion:
IF ever there was case Of clearer
evidence than this case, this case is
that case"
