The ingredients of which S. S. S. is comnposed. and the method of com bining and preparing them so that they gently and pleasantly build up and strengthen every part of the body, make it the ideal tonic for a disordered condition of the system. Every one feels the need ot a tonic sometimes. The system seems to get "out of gear, " the appetite beccues fickle, the energies are depressed, sleep is not restful or refreshing, and the entire body has a nervous, worn-out feeling. When the system is in this depleted, run down condition it must be aided by a tonic, and S. S. S. is recognized every where as the standard. Being made entirely of roots, herbs and barks selected for their gentle action as well as their invigorating effect on the system, it will not disagreeably affect any of the delicate members or tisstues as do most of the so-called tonics on the market which contain potash or some other harmful mineral ingredient. These derange the stomach and digestion, unfavorably affect the bowels or otherwise damage the health. S. S. S. tones up the stomach and digestion. improves the appetite. produces refreshing sleep, rids the body of that tired, run-down feeling. and supplies tone and vigor to the entire system. It re-establishes the healthy circulation of the blood, acts more promptly and gives better and more lasting results than any other tonic, and because of its vegetable purity is an absolutely safe medicine for young or old. S. S. S. acts admirably in cases of dyspep sia, indigestion and other stomach troubles, and after using it that uncom fortable feeling of fullness, dizziness or drowsiness, after eating, are no longer felt. Not only is S. S. S. the greatest of all tonics but possesses puri fying and alterative properties, and if there is a taint in the blood it will promptly remove every trace and restore perfect health.

MAUNG A CUP OF TEA THE WAY TO GET THE THEINE AND AVOID THE TANNIN. Dark Liquid Doem Not Mean Excel lence, and the Darker the Liquid Is the More Evil Are Its Effects. Chinese Tea Is Said to Be the Best. Perhaps I may be allowed to make some comments on a subject that is of interest to all homes-namely, a cup of tea and the making of it. The first proposition is that the dark color of tea does not mean excellence, the see ond that the darker the liquid is the more evil are its effects and the third that the best tea is Chinese. These are the opinions of an importer. It is worth noting, I think, that they are also the scientific opinions and, fur ther, that this is a case where doctors agree. What must properly be de scribed as the pharmacology of tea is simple and well understood, and as it concerns every one it may be briefly discussed here. For practical purposes tea consists of two things, the first being tannic acid, also known as tannin, and the second being theine, also known as caffeine. Let us consider each of these. The tmin, or tannic acid, oc curs in the tea leaf, as in so many other plants. It is less readily sol uble than the theine and is much less readily obta:ned from the Chinese leaf than from the Indian, the latter, together with the Cingalese. contain ing much more of this substance. Tannic acid has no attractions for the palate except in the case of people who like a little bitterness,, and it has no action on the nervous system. none of it, indeed, being absorbed by the body. Its action upon the tissues with which it comes into immediate contact is wholly deleterious. I do not say that it is necessarily serious, but what ac tion there is Is wholly bad. Notably does it interfere with the digestibility of foodstuffs. Plainly, therefore, a chief concern In the production of the best beverage from tea should be reduction of the tannic acid to a minimum. This Is to be accomplished, first, by using the leaf which contains least of it, and, secondly, by sharply limiting the length of the Infusion. It has been clearly proved that practleally all the theine that can be obtained from the leaf is obtained In the first three minutes, whereas the amount of tannin in creases markedly even between the twentieth and fortieth minutes. In the opinion of not a few, the said tannin is largely responsible for the del eterious effects frequently attributed to the theine. This last is an invalu able ingredient of tea; it is the same substance as that which gives its value to coffee, but is present in less abun dance In the tea leaf than in the coffee bean; it is a nervous stimulant of the purest kind and belongs to an entire ly different class from the pseudo stimulants, such as alcohol. In some ways this is one of the most re markable of all known drugs. It appears to be unique in that it stimulates the functions of the cerebrum, the highest portion of the brain, without Inducing any subse quent reaction that can be detected. It has no second stage of action cofn parable to that of alcohol and opium, and in cases of emergency it is capable of postponing sleep for hours, and, more than that, of maintaining the mental aictivity as in the daytime. I nay confess that in past years I ha~ve sytematically used caffeine for weceks on. end for this purpose without any deleterious results; but this is quoted for illustration, not imitation. Now, it is plain that, so far as the remote consequences of a cup of tea are considered, It is the theine or caf feine that we desire, and the tannin that we do not desire. The relative solubility of the two substances ex actly suits our convenience. If it were necessary to extract all the tannin in order to get any theine there might be some excuse for the lady who likes her tea to have a little "body" to it, or for the servant girl who keeps her teapot on the hob all day. But the fact is that it is possible to obtain all the theine desired, while reducing the amount of tannin to a minimum. At present the public taste is thoroughly vitiated. No one who has given the matter a fair consideration, or who cares to permit any palatal delicacy at all, will question that the fine aroma of a cup of properly made Chinese tea is in a different category altogether from the sensations aroused by the concentrated solution of tannin, whieh is usually offered under the pseudonym "a cup of tea," which things are writ ten without prejudice. In order to make reasonably com plete this brief account of the cup that en' ers, I must add that it contains a small proportion of a volatile oil, which is of small physiological importance, but which contributes largely to the gustatory character of tea. The chief public delusion in this connection is that the sense of taste may be im picitly trusted. You think-you are not geting your money's worth unless your senses are violently assailed. It is as if you judged the power of music in terms of the amplitude of the sound waves. The master's pianissimo chord has more potency than the sforzando of mediocrity.-Pall Mali Gazette. A Little Vague. A Boston lady seeking summer board on a farm saw an advertisement giving a description of about such a place as she wanted and sent a letter of inquiry.

It was told by an old lady who knew the daughters of Sir Hudson Lowe. The Misses Lowe were young girls at the time of Napoleon's imprisonment at St. Hele na and were sometimes admitted to his presence, when he would chat pleasantly with them. On one or two occasions when in a specially good humor he drew his sword and, gal lantly presenting it to one of the girls, said: "Now, young lady, is your chance. You have to kill the Corsican ogre!" He would then throw him self into position and defend himself with his walking stick. Whether from nervousness or sheer maladresse, no hit was ever made, and the great man would then smile and say conde scendingly, "Well, ladies, you can now boast that you have fenced with the great NaDoinn."

The young girl is most carefully chaperoped, and she never goes anywhere, even to church, unless accompanuied by her parents, some male relative or other equally trusted attendant.

Avoiding the Doctor. Dr. Sanderson, an old Scotch phy sician, was a queer character' but a clever doctor. So roughly did be handle his patients that the ignorant were chiefly anxious to escape him. The story goes that as be was passing along the street one day a sweep rolled from the top to the bottom of a staircase outside one of the houses. "Are you hurt?" called the doctor, running forward. "Not a bit, doctor-not a bit," replied the man in haste. "Indeed. I feel a' the better." Bears the The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature of The "Longest Resident." The poverty of the English language is exempliled by a circular which is making the rounds of a suburb and in vites subscriptions to a testimonial to the station master. It comes from one who styles himself "the longest resir dent." the sad phy:sical fact being that he is probably the shortest, although in bulk and rotundity he makes up for the inches be lacks in height. Ilere is a case in which the very clumsin .a of the German language would be an in estimable help, for then this gentleman could quite correctly describe himself "the for-the-longest-time-herein resid Ing" or even perhaps "the for-the longesttimehereinresidingest" individ ual.

That is a delicate hint, and if he calls again for a light the parents understand what to expect. A family council is held, and the reply is prepared. If on his ihird call the wooer receives a light, but has the door immediately closed ia his face, he understands that he is cold shouldered. If, on the other hand, his suit is welcome, after receiving his light he is invited ~in. the young wo man is presented to him, and he puffs out his declaration through the curls ot smoke.

Charles V., in his intervals of relaxa tion. used to retire to Brussels. He was a prince curious to know the nenti ments of his meanest subjects con cerning himself and his administra tion. Therefore he often went "incog." and mixed himself in such companies and conversation as he thought proper. One night, his boot requiring immedi ate mending, he was directed to a cob bler. Unluckily it happened to be St. Crispin's holiday, and instead of find ing the cobbler inclined for work he was in the height of his jollity among his acquaintances. The emperor ac quainted him with what he wanted and offered a handsome gratuity. "What, friend," says the fellow, "do you kno-w no better than to ask any of our craft to work on St. Crispin's day? Was it Charles V. himself I'd not do a stitch for him now. But if you'll come in and drink to St. Cris pin, do and welcome. We are as merry as the emperor can be." The sovereign accepted his.offer, but while he was contemplating their rude pleasure, instead of joining in it, the jovial host thus accosted him: "But I suppose you are some courtier, politi cian or other, by that contemplative phiz. But, be who or what you will. you're heartily welcome. Drink about. Here's Charles V.'s health." "Then you love Charles V.?' replied the emperor. "Love him!" says the son of Crispin. "Aye, aye, I love his long noseship well enough, but I should love him much more would he but tax us a lit tle less. But what have we to do with politics? Round with the glass and merry be our hearts!" After a short stay the emperor took his leave and thanked the cobbler for his hospitable reception. "That," cried he, "you're welcome to, but I would not have dishonored St. Crispin to have worked for the em peror." Charles, pleased with the honest good nature and humor of the fellow, sent for him next morning to court. One may imagine his surprise to see and hear that his late guest was his sovereign. He feared his joke on his long nose would be punisied with death. The emperor, however, thank ed him for his hospitality and as a reward for it bid him ask for what he most desired and take the whole night to settle his surprise and ambi tion. Next day he appeared and requested that for the future the cobblers of Flanders might bear for their arms a boot with the emperor's crown upon it. That reques't was granted, and, so moderate was his ambition, the em peror bid him make another. "If," says he, "I am to have my utmost wishes, command that for the future the Company of Cobblers shall take the place of the Company of Shoe makers." It was accordingly so or dained, and to this day there is to be seen a chapel in Flanders adornel round with a boot and an imperial crown on it, and in all processions the Company of Cobblers takes the place of the Company of Shoemakers. Oar First St. Bernards. There is a possibility that General Lafayette was the first person to send any St. Bernards to this country. When lie returned to the -United States in 1S24 he apparently met .T. F. Skin ner, who at one time was assistant postmaster general and afterward edit ed the American Farmer, Sporting Magazine and other publications. At one time he seemed to have been very much interested in getting good sheep dogs, and in this he was aided by Gen eral Lafayette, who, previous to 1830, as near as we can judge,-sent him two French sheep dogs and at another time sent two dogs which Mr. Skinner de scribed as "Pyrenean or St. Bernard'' dogs and tells of the use made of them at the hospice. As Mr. Skinner was evidently getting sheep dogs, it is more probable that these were Pyrenean sheep dogs. Yet as he particularly mentioned the French sheep dogs as having pointed faces, the others not beIng so described were likely broader faced and were half breed dogs akin to the St. Bernards. There Is still an other possibility that General Lafa yette may have known of the monhs getting outside crosses a few years be fore and may have stated it in such a way as to lead Mr. Skinner to assume that they were one and the same breed or bred the same way and thus give the dogs he received the double name. -Watson's Dog Book. Sheep In a Theater. An amusing scene occurred some years ago in a Paris theater during the presentation of "Le Pauv-re Ber ger." It almost fell fiat the first night it was played. To give more ex actness to the scenery the machinist determined to abandon the "lay" lambs and substitute real ones. Twen ty fat and well toned sheep were brought and drilled. At the rehears als the new '-stock company" played their parts admirably, and at the first performance they entered admirably and formed an exquisitely pastoral group around their Corydon, whom they saluted with most tuneful bleat ings. The house shook to its founda tions with the loud applause. The ap plause continued, and the sheep became frightened and popped, some into the stage boxes, some over tihe footlights into the orchestra, and, of course, the whole Ilock followed their leader. The ladies in the stage boxes shrieked, the orchestra whooped and hallooed to pre vent the sheep from tumbling on their violins, and the house roared. The suprnimPeraries were thrown off after them, but it was an hour before they were caught. The next day they were sent to inc shambles and "'lay sheep" introduced in their stead. .A Lively Tussle Wih that old enemy of the race. Cona tipation, often ends in Appendicitis.
