Find saaebrush las vaIue.

The sagebrush of the western prai-
RE lands, heretofore regarded as ut
terly useless, is now to be extensively
availed of in the manufacture of pot
ash. Experiments have been conduct
ed covering long period of time with
specimens of the sagebrush from diff
ferent parts of the country, and it has
been demonstrated that the ashes of
the plant contain from 10 to 80 per
cent potash, which viii make the ham
ding of the sagebrush quite profitable
The leader in this movement is State
Senator Lee Of Nevada, who has several
central plants in different parts of the
country engaged in the gathering and
burning of the sagebrush. The ashes
are shipped to Richmond, Va, where
they are refined and paid for accord

PLEA FOR BED AS 1T WAS
Modern Things That Masquerade as
Such Are Properly Condemned by
Chicago Newspaper.

Modern life, having succeeded in
eliminating economy from the list of
virtues, is now, apparently, conducting
a drive against sleep. which the old
er authorities numbered among man
kinds blessings. People, city people
in particular. seem TO be ashamed of
the fact that they must sleep Tired
natures sweet restorer, sore labor's
bath, that which knits up the raveled
sleeve of care-the inventor of which
was so praised by Sancho Panza,
prince of squires. is in disrepute.
This tendency to conceal the fact
that sleep still falls upon mankind is
strikingly illustrated by modern furni-
ture. The bed that was frankly a bed
is being thrust into the background
as something to be ashamed Of Its
place is taken by various kinds of
monstrosities that masquerade as 9TH
er articles of furniture in the day
time, and, indeed, far into the night,
confessing that they can be made to
serve as beds only when frivolity can
no longer stand or sit. but must, per-
force, become recumbent.
The bookcase, the piano, the BATH
tub, the mirror, the closet door, the
Morris chair-these may at any mo-
ment, by the pulling of a strap or the
pressing of a spring, be revealed as
sleeping utensils-beds one cannot
fairly call them. And they function
as beds in a diffident, half-hearted way,
as If ashamed of the office. Jacks of
many trades, they are masters of
none.
Until sleep itself becomes obsolete
the human race must have beds of
some sort, and the more comfortable
they are the better. No sleeping inn
plement disguised as monograph, a
bird cage or a cook stove can take
the place of the old-fashfoned piece of
furniture that was bed and nothing

CUPS And SAUCERS
TABLE APPuRTENANcEs THAT
ARE COMPARATIVELY MODERN.
Originally Cups Were Big, FIarins AT.
fairs, While saucers Were Small,
Just the Reverse of Those
OF Today

The cup and saucer is a modern In
Vention unknown in the days of the
sixteenth century. Bowls of various
sizes graced the banquet boards of
King Hal and Queen Bess, but cups
came in only with the introduction of
such drinks as tea and coffee.
The beverages of the sixteenth CEN
fury were water, mead, sack and ale.
In the middle of the next century came
tea, and with it the Chinese or "china''
teacup. Strangely enough, the men
who imported it from the Orient did
not themselves understand the method
of its use, as possibly the conservative
Britisher preferred to invent style
of his own.
The Chinese put pinch of tea into
cup filed with boiling water, and
then inverted a saucer over the re-
ceptacle, within whose rim it closely
fitted. The object was partly to retain
the heat, but chiefly to prevent the
escape Of the fragrance of the herb,
which Chinese olfactories found most
delicious. The infusion was permitted
to stand for five minutes, when 1t was
decanted into second cup without a
saucer and daintily slipped therefrom
John Bull, however, emphatically
declined to take his tea in Chinese
fashion. He liked the appearance of
the ornamental ware upon his table,
but he insisted on placing the cup in
the saucer, like a miniature flower
pot, and used exclusively to drink
from, preparing the beverage in a
common instead of an individual re-
ceptaele.
N course of time England began the
manufacture Of cups and saucers, and
pictures which have been preserved
from the days of the Stuarts show
big, faring cups, four inches across
the top, with saucers less than three
inches in diameter. BY degrees one
dwindled and the other expanded, I'M
til in the middle of the nineteenth CEN
fury the opposite extreme was reached
and fashionable tea services had cups
only an inch and half in diameter,
accompanied by fve-fnch saueers.
The handle of the teacup came from
Mediterranean lands. Originally it
was made of thick and strong earth
enware and applied to heavy Jars and
lamps. Its decorative possibilities
popularized it with Greek and Roman
potters, who extended its use to small
amphors and f1agons; but, as the word
"amphor" indicates, the handle was
double, like that of the bouillon cup
today. Single handles crept into use
by slow degrees and were probably APP
piled to drinking cups about the time
that coffee came into vogue In south
ern Europe, the beverage being taken
almost at the boiling point, so that
some device for lifting the cup with
out burning the fingers was found de-
sirable.
Travelling slowly northward, the one
handled coffee cup finally reached
Great Britain, where its merits were
Immediately recognized. It was not
long before handles were applied to
drinking utensils of every description.

Opportunity in Syria.

From the comparatively few letters
that pass the rigid censorship of the
Turkish government, the Presbyterian
board in the United States learns that
the work of the Syria mission is going
on as usual. The boys schools have
not as large attendance as in ordinary
years, owing to the fact that so many
homes have suffered financial losses.
The girls school, however, at Beirut,
has more applicants than it can take
care of. This is because of the fact
that the schools carried on by mis-
sionaries of other nationalities, such
as the French and English, have been
closed and the missionaries sent away.
Their pupils have consequently
knocked and not in vain at the door
of the American Girls school in Bel.

SAW DEATH ANGEL
Apparition That Appeared to
Royal Children.
Story Related by Governess of Rus.
sian Princesses-czar and Gar
ina Believe Supernatural Fig
ure Really Was Visible.

Grand Duke Ernest of Hesse had q
very pretty little daughter by his first
wife, Princess Victoria Melita of Great
Britain and Coburg, now married to
Grand Duke Cyril of Russia. This lit
tie girls name was Elizabeth, and on
account of her beauty and sprightly
cleyerness she was universal favor
tie and the only tie between her par
ents after the estrangement, T. Cum
life Owen writes in the New York
World.
While staying with her uncle and
aunt, the present car and czarina, at
their picturesque country seat in Po-
land, she succumbed when seven years
old to poison-ptomaine poison, ac-
cording to some, but according to 9TH
ers drugs conveyed into food or
drink by the Nihilists for the purpose
of taking the life of Emperor Mich
olas.
A remarkable account of the affair
is given by an English woman of the
name of Miss Eager, who, after spend

STA as the nursery governess of their
young children, published on her re-
turn to England, with the full author

According to her, little Princess
Elizabeth, or ELLA" of Hesse was

who were sleeping together In room
adjoining that of their seven-year-old
cousin of Hesse, suddenly alarmed
every one within hearing by the most
frantic screams.
When the empress, Miss Eager and
the doctors rushed in they found the
two little grand duchesses standing up
on their beds, shrieking and shaking
with terror. Tt was some time before
they could be soothed, and then they
related that they had seen man with
flowing robes and huge wings in their
room. While they were still talking
the eyes of both children suddenly
dilated with terror, and both pointing
In the same direction, they cried:
@Look Look! There he is again.
He has gone into Elias room. Oh!
Poor Ella Poor Ella !"
Neither Miss Eager nor the czarina,
nor yet the physicians, could see any
thing. But few moments later
Princess Ella suddenly sat up in her
bed, crying: II am choking. / am
chokingl Send for mammal" Three
hours afterward the child, who had
Immediately after the cry for her
mother fallen into a state of coma,
passed away, in the absence, OF course,
of her parents.
Miss Eager expressed her firm con-
viction that the little grand duchesses
had seen a supernatural apparition
and that the apparition in ques-
ton was the angel of death.
That the car and czarina shared her
impression is shown by the fact that
they had authorized her to publish
the story in her book, as well as by
the circumstance that she retains their
favor and good will and is in re-
ceipt of an annuity from them for the
remainder of her days.
