Esperanto a School Course.

Esperanto. the artificial interna
tional language. has been ordered in

commercial schools controlled by the
Paris chamber of commerce.
The language was studied by a com
mission. whose members reported
favorably upon it after several tests.
One test was the translation of three
complicated documents into French
and then translation of the French
texts back into Esperanto. 1t was
found there was no change in the
sense.
The introduction of Esperanto in
all schools was recommended. not as
a substitute for any other language,

First American Train Robbery.

Train robbery, a pastime which was
Tor some years very popular in the
West, was inaugurated As years ago
at Verde, Nevada, when the Overland
express was held up and despoiled of
about $4,000. This robbery marked
a new departure In the field Of crime,
for previously only stage coaches and
travellers had fallen prey to holdup
men. When western outlaws are dis.
cussed, the name of Jesse James is
usually the first brought up, but he
was R0t the pioneer train robber.
That dubious distinction belongs to
one Buck Taylor. who, with four COM
panions. pulled off the train hoidup
which was the first of long string of
<rmilar crimes.

The owner of the veriest flivver

acknowledged a perfect idiot. In po-

daily insult inflicted upon the body
machinery by the nimble pill is not
limited to the digestive tract: 1t does
not merely impair digestion and irri-
tate the intestine: there are several

The Tea Service.

When afternoon tea is to be served,
; the tea may be made in the kitchen,
brought at once to the tea-table and
served very hot, or a samovar, with
it's lamp for alcohol. or oil. or its elec-
trio connection, may be used to boil
water for the tea in the living room.
The tea may then be infused in the
silver or china pot; or as is prefera-
BILE for green teas, or the colongs,
which are midway between green and
black tea, the water may be poured
boiling hot over the tea leaves in a
small teaball or strainer resting in
the tea cup. In this way practically
no tannic acid is released into the
tea.
Tea trays come in endless variety
Of shape, size. color and material. A
so heavy that we may well console
ourselves for the lack Of it with one
of light brass, fine wood, basketry, or
the very latest. black jappanned tin
painted in bright colored designs.
On the tray should tssnot be placed shs the
saucers, cream and sugar. thinly-
eliced lemon. and plate of sand
witches. A china set of all these
dishes, in the old-fashioned flower
patterns or in some of the striking
new line decorations in color suiting
the tray and the room, makes the
tray a fascinating object. There are
even little cannisters to hold the
. fresh tea leaves in such sets. and a
, small bowl to hold discarded tea
and leaves. Most of US cannot afford
such perfection Of agreement, and
must content ourselves with quaint
old silver pot that has come down in
the family, perhaps, or old cups and
saucers that, at any rate, can not be
had nowadays except at auction sales.
Maybe we must merely make the
best of bright silver, dainty china and
beautifully clean linen. After all,
what counts in the tea service Is a
real hospitality. good tea and GER
tain love of daintiness, which one
flower may give.
