A Warning That May Prove of Value to Relic Hunters. It may be trusted that no lineal de scendent of the pilgrims would and no other person foolishly should ever claim to have or to have seen a teapot that had come over on the Mayflower. Wh atever other articles in whatever number may be treasured as parts of the sacred cargo that was landed at Plymouth rock in 1020, relic hunters may rest in the assurance at no rival owns a teapot of Mayflowt . descent. The explanation is simple. When the Mayflower sailed for America an ounce of tea was rare enough to have made up a fitting gift for royalty. Yet forty years later the wealthy and fashion able people of England were fairly fa miliar with tea which the East India company had first brought into the country, and four years later it was on sale in the coffee houses, at -which time a pound might be pr chased for the moderate sum of 0 shiings. Only twenty-five years later tea was on sale in Boston, and soon after there were two tea houses besides those kept by Daniel Vernon and Benjamin Har ris. In the first decade of the eight eenth century it could be bought from Zabdill Bolton at his apothecary shop. Today the coffee houses of a hundred years ago in London are in reality tea houses. In England were made the first teapots of pottery. Later the most delicate creations in porcelain ap peared, but as tea became popular the art of the teapot maker was less ex clusively refined.-Boston Globe. DARING BELL RINGERS. Pranks of the Athletic Young Span iards of Seville. There is a curious custom among the young Spaniards of the city of Seville. On certain fete days, related a tourist, the youn men of the place have per mission to ring the bells in the clock towers of the cathedral. They have an ingenious and original way of ringing them. While the regular bell ringers repose these amateurs climb up on tc the bells, throw them forward with all their force and ride upon the bells in their furious swinging to and fro. We may imagine what an uproar is pro duced when all the bells of a cathedral are being treated in this manner. Any man who is able may exercise his skill, and the duration of the ringing de pends upon the caprice or the strength and patience of the ringers. The spectacle is very strange of the g.eat bells swinging, with one, two or more bold ringers hanging from them In any attitude which seems to thera best adapted to pushing out the most noise. In the Giralda, at Seville, the first time I witnessed this, the clamor was frightful. When I looked up I thought at first some unfortunate was entangled in the bell rope, but I soon found it was a matter of sport. An other ringer appeared suspended in the air, holding the bell by the ears or the rim or the wooden framework and fol lowing it in all Its movements, some times feet, sometimes head, downward. Such are the daring bell ringers of Se ville. The Egyptian Mummy. Egyptologists have discovered that among the ancient Egyptians the invi olate preservation of the body was deemed absolutely essential to the-cor poreal resurrection of the dead. Ac cording to the teaching of the Egyptian priests, the living man consisted of a bod'y, a soul, an intelligence and an ap pearance called "Ka." Death separat ed these four parts, which must ulti mately be reunited for all eternity. Between death on earth and life ever lasting there intervened a period of several thousand years, during which season the soul" performed a painful probationary pilgri'mage through the underworld. The body in order that it should await intact the return of the soul must meanwhile be guarded from all corruption; hence the custom of embaming. Man and His Tailor. A man can be measured to 'the best advantage, tailors say, away from a glass. Standing before a mirror he is almost certain to throw out his chest, if he does not habitually carry It so, and take an attitude tha? he would like to have rather than the one he commonly holds, whereas the tailor wants him, as the portrait painter wants his subject, in his natural pose and manner. With the man in -that at titude the tailor can bring his art tc bear, if that is required, in the over coming of any physical defect and'.pro duce clothes that will give the best at tainable effect upon the figure as they will be actually worn.-New York- Sun. Buckingham's Pranks. After the defeat and flight of Charles . the daredevil Duke of Bucldnghaml disguised himself as a mountebank, set up a stage In the heart of London and for days laughed In the faces of the stern Puritans, who were thirsting for his life.

"Dr. King's New Discovery is the remedy that does the healing others promise but fail to perform." says M~rs. . R. Pierson. of Auburn Centre, Pa. "It is curing me of throat and lung aouble of long standing, that other aeatments relieved only temporarily. New Discovery is doing me so much~ ood that I feel confident its continued se for a reasonable length of time will restore me to perfect health."

Among life's ups and downs the most :: ying are keeping expenses down and appearances up.;- New Orleans Bert Barber, of Elton, Wis., says: " have only taken four doses of your Kid ney and Bladder Pills and they have done for me more than any other medi cine has ever done. I am still taking the pills as I want a perfect cure." Mr. Barber refers to DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills. Sold by W. E. Brown & Co. Some Epigrams. Tom flood cast epigrams at himself in the face of death. His wife was preparing a large mustard plaster to apply to his shrunken chest. "My dear," said hood, "that's a terrible lot of mustard for a small piece of beef." Sir Walter Raleigh expressed him self in a similar mood after he mount ed the scaffold. Feeling the edge of the ax, he said to the executioner, "This is a sharp medicine, but It is a cure for all diseases." An Italian nobleman, probably be guiled by patent medicine advertise ments, left this inscription for his gravestone: "I was well, wanted to be better, took physic and died." Charles Knight suggested that "Good Knight" would be sufficient for his memorial tablet. A brother Scot who did not sympa thize with his peccadillos in life, when asked to suggest an appropriate epi taph for Scotland's national poet, said, "His ain name's enough-Rober1 Burns."-Boston Post. Wholesome Advice For Boys. Now, you lads who want to leave school, don't be in such a hurry to be earning something. Think of the fu ture prospect rather than the preseni advantage. The man who can de something really well, whether it be the making of a table, the building of a house or the writing of a book, will very seldom be unemployed. It is the boys in a hurry who are "little mil lionaires" on S shillings a week a1 fourteen and "big loafers" on nothing at eighteen, with no trade in their fingers and no prospect but the life 01 a day laborer. Go slowly, boys-you'll go farther. Hurry is a dog that ofter goes off on a wrong scent. Patience and foresight are two dogs which hun1 together. They are slow at "finding,' but they are always "in at the death.' -London Scholars' Own. Spoiled Musicians. Rubinstein disapproved of marriage for musicians. Just before his death he spoke sadly of his Russian lady pu pils. "What have I wasted all my time on them' for?" he asked irritably "Every one married! It's too provok. ing! Here they are, spoiled forever for art life. What did they study for?" The London Musical World remarks that "those who ask why we have n< great lady composers may be left to think on these things." A Nice, Polite Man. There's some good things' in towi this \week," said the girl who was hint ing for an invitation to the theater.
