Janansse rea.prlnkInQ.

Tea Is associated in the Japanese
mind with the cult which has grown
up In connection with tea serving. AS
to the origin Of the tea ceremony, or
Cha-nO-yu, as 1t is called in the native
language, there are two theories. One
Of them is that in the early times the
Buddhist priests drank tea in order to
keep awake during the night service,
and that from this habit the drinking
of tea became closely connected with
silent meditation and thereby elevated
to a canon of ceremony. Another
hypothesis attempts to explain the or
Igin of the cult, not in religious but in
psychological terms. 1t states that
the original seed Of the tea brought
from China was planted in the various
provinces of Japan and produced
slightly different varieties Of tea. Now
the court mobiles, from their character
istic fondness for dilettantism, started
the gentle amusement of competing in
their ability to discriminate the differ
ent varieties Of tea and in tracing
their origin. The practice thereafter
developed into an elaborate system
of etlquette.-East and West News.

SMOKE JOGS HUBBY'S MEMORY
Mrs. Wlseacre Pins Effective Remind

After-Lunch Cigar.

my husband never fOrgets anything

gerT' asked Mrs. Boomer.
"Oh, dear, no." returned Mrs. Wise
acre, an air Of pity for her friends
old-fashioned idea quite plain in her
manner. That's quite out Of date,
you know. Why, half the time dear
husband is apt to forget what the
string was around his finger for when
he finds it there. No, my dear, the
really effective way is to buy you a
little stock of cigars all your own.
Whenever you have mission for your
husband, write 1t on note and pin 1t
in the cigar. Place the cigar in the
pocket with his own stock and when
he goes to take his after-lunch smoke
he's bound to find it there. He'll do
the Job on the spot, and with the note
right before him he really can't forget
a single item. It's most effective, my
ear."-New York Sun.

Invented JInriklsha.

The "jinrikisha" Is man-power
carriage, light vehicle balanced on
two wheels, with projecting shafts and
croSsbar, within which a man steps
and pulls. The naming Of the carriage
is due to the Japanese. The vehicle
was invented in 1871 at Yokohama,
by the Rev. Jonathan Goble, who died
in May, 1898. He was an American
Baptist missionary and formerly
marine in the United States navy, un-
der Commodore Perry. With meager
salary, and having sick wife, and
desiring to give her gentle outdoor
exercise, he showed to japanese
carpenter picture of baby carriage
in Godey's Lady's Book, and suggested
the plan and form. The jinrilEisha
quickly displaced the kag0 and palan-
Quin, and is now in turn being dis
placed in Japan by the electric trolley
car.

MAYBE SHE SAW THE POINT
eut, Whether or Not Clergyman Had
Decidedly the Best Of Pussy
Old Lady.

A rather fussy old lady in New Eng
land once called upon her pastor with
a grievance. The good mans neck
bands were too long for her ideas OF
ministerial humility, and, after a long
harangue on the sin Of pride, she In
tinated that she had brought a pair
Of scissors with her, and would be
pleased If her dear pastor would per-
NIT her to cut them down to her mo-
lions OF proprlety.
The pastor had not only listened
patiently, but had handed over the
offending neckbands to be operated
upon. She had cut them down to her
satisfaction and returned the bibs;
II was the pastors turn.
SNOW" he said, "you must, II you
please, do me favor"
Certainly, doctor. What can 1t

"Well, you have something about
you that is a deal too long, and that
causes me no end Of trouble. should
like to see II shorter"
"What is it," asked the old lady.
Here are the scissors; use them as
you please"
Come, then" continued the pastor.

Why ShOurd Pirates aud Pikers
Fix the Price of Our Cotton?

The price Of middling cotton de-
livered in Atlanta on Wednesday
was 19 20 cents a pound
On the next day the price was /
cent less-that is 1926 cents a
pound.
On Friday the price was back at
1925 cents a pound.
The prices throughout the United
States from New York to GalV eston
showed parallel fluctuations.
Ia short, the farmers OF the South
who found it necessary to sell their
cotton on Thursday were penalized
cent II pound-$5 a bale.
Why2
Why, merely because a lot OF
gamblers-people buying cotton
they didn't want and selling cotton
they pidn't have, had created a
technical condition" and futures
had dropped something more than
200 points.
Why, in the name OF decent hon
est citizenship, should the farmers
of Georgia and the rest of the South
be swindled in any such manner as
this because of the lust for unearned
money by lot of professional gam
hlers and half witted suckers?
Why should cotton, an industry
which constitutes the very backbone
Of existence in our great and be-
loved section, be kicked about by a
bunch of able but unprincipled ma.
nipulators on one side and a horde
of idiotic pikers on the other?
Isn't it time to call halt on this
sort of thing?
Isn't it time to put the producing
and selling Of cotton ON a business
basis?
Isn't it time for the faamer to de-
clare his independence Of this gang
OF pirates and pikers and to organ
lie and sell cotton as Judge Gary
sells steel or Fuller Galloway sells
cloth or Sam Jones sells stoves or j.
X. Orr sells shoes?
Imagine If you can, those gentle
men permitting a lot of toddle-top
spinners saying to them, your steel
billet or your bolt Of cloth or your
stove or your case of shoes was worth
500 Wednesday and is worth 95 to
day, but was worth only 80 yester
day.
Yet that is what the farmers of
the South have been permitting the
pirates and the kikers gambling in
Gravier street New Orleans, and
Broad Street New Yyrk to say to
them for so years.
Isn't it time to stop itY

REVISED RULES OF
RAILROAD BOARD TO
BE GIVEN OUT SOON

CHICAGO, Dec. 10. Revised rules
governing working conditions of rail-
way maintenance of way workmen
will be promulgated Dec. IA TO be-
come effective Dec. IS, leaving the
docket clear for wages cases, it was
announced by the Uniter States
railroad labor board today.
Due to the fact that many rules
had already been agreed upon be-
tween railroads and the employees.
the board has made rapid progress
in constructing rules over which a
dispute had arisen. In a majority of
cases not more than half a dozen
rules were in dispute. On a number
of roads where only few rules were
in controversy and these rules had
been agreed upon by a majority of
roads. the board referred the rules
back 10 the road taking the position
that if the majority Of roads could
agree upon a rule, other carriers ought
TO be able TO reach an agreement
with their employees also.
The boards new rules will replace
those Of the maintenance Of way
national agreement, made under fed
eral control, except in the cases of
rules agreed to between the carriers
and their men.

of the Los Angeles Police Depart
ment show that the number Of ar
rests for intoxication is greatly on
the increase. So far as known, po.
lice officers say, there is no liquor

year Of 1920 this total was 1876. Up
