t f - . r LEGENDARY ' ORIGIN OF TEA Plant Grow From Cyelldi of' Buddhist Priest Who Slept During .? Meditation Hours. Tea dink era should remember the legendary origin of the tea plant. Darutna, a Buddhist priest, son of a king, retired to Ix> Yang, in order to pass five years in prayer and meditation. Like St. Anthony he was tempted and eventually he fell asleep during his long hours of meditation. On awakening' he cut off his offending eyelids that his eyes might never close again, and flung them on the ground, when' they were immediately transformed into the first tea : plant. It was for this reason believed that tea was a beverage sent from heaven, to repel slumber and en?Kln l i ui/ic Wxn * IIUUUIIIM IJIirBlb IU their vigils. And tea will certainly keep you awake. COOK FED HIM. "Say, captain, I wish you'd remove the policeman from mv heat, and substitute a fellow who likes his beef well done." "Why, bo?" "Well, the present copper is a bear for rare meat, and our cook wants to please him." BROWNING AND SUFFRAGE. Robert Browning was at one period of his life nn enthusiastie advocate of votes for women. "He approved of everything that had been done for the higher instruction of women," . writes his biographer, Mrs. Sutherland Orr, "and would, not very long before his death, have supported their admission to the franchise. But he was so much displeased by the more recent action of some of the ladv advocates of women's rights 'that, during the last year of his life, after various modifications of opinion, lie frankly pledged himself to; the opposite view." At one time, it ap|>ears. Browning contemplated writing a play in support of the I movement. Had this design been j carried into effect, Miss Elizabeth, Robins would have been anticipated , by about twenty years. with'one hook and eye. Soma clever and practical dressmaker in Paris has invented a gown made all in one and fastening with one single hook and eye at the back ; of the waist. Thi* iti mm t\f mm ..mot i ingenious and interesting inventions of the hour. The ordinary dressmaker inflicts upon tier clients a great number of fastenings, whether hooks or buttons or patent "clickers," a capital word invented for them by a mere man and intelligible to every woman. But the new invention dispenses with all but one strong fastening at the back. One iH into the gown in half a moment, and out of it almost as speedily. The gratitude of women all over the world is due to the clever inventor. FOOLISH QUESTION. George Fitch, the author of the 'Siwash stories and the motor l>oat stories, was dining recently and reed birds were on the bill of fare. Reed birds are so small that it is almost necessary to take a microscope to perceive them on the plate. "George, Ijow do they get these microbes, anyhow ; do they shoot 'em, pear 'em or catch them in a net?" was asked. "Well," drawled George, "1 am surprised that you don't know. They catch them on flypaper, of course." NEITHER ACCEPTABLE. Pretty Daughter?So you don't iHike Jim ? Her Father?No; he appears to be capable of nothing. Pretty Daughter?But what obl'w jection have you to George? Her Father?Oh, he's worse than viie atr*e!v.?p9:*? being capable of anything. ?HWwy fitoriea. ' Had Nany Pints of Booze.

The water has spoiled all the bis- f cuits, half of which are nothing but a big lump of mildew, from which, ! however, we manage to pick out a j few fragments which may yet prove ! eatable. The oatmeal has suffered i less, but is perfectly green with age. The sugar has disappeared; the chocolate is also green and tastes of soap.
