Oriuin of Tea Drinking.

Tea drinking seems to have orig
mated in China; and the Chinese, ac-
cording to Prof. King, in his Farmers
of Forty Centuries" drank it first
as a sanitary measure, having found
that boiling their water saved them
from typhoid and afterward adding
tea leaves to make the boiled water
palatable. DR.. r. A. Gortner of the
University of Minnesota, writing in
Science, believes that this is not an
exact description of what happened,
but that the discovery of the efficacy
Of tea as a typhoid preventive came
after its general adoption in China as
q pleasing drink.

In some parts of Vermont, and New
York, and no doubt in nearly all the
states of this country are women workers
on the farms. Many of them are accom-
plishing the full days work of map.
Among them are found many college
girls who are especi lilly active and willing
to work. They are not doing this for fun
of the thing nor the notoriety they may
derive; but are doing this as their share
towards winning the war, and doing it
from motives of patriotism. They drive
teams, tractors, planters, harrows, hoes,
and nearly all kinds of farm machinery.
They have rendered valuable assistance
during the planting and cultivating sea-
sons, and will now continue their good
work through haying and harvesting.
The women workers in the fields merit
