. LEGENDS ABOUT TEA DRINKING.
A Sentimental Love Affair Gave the World
a New Beverage.
China. claims the origin of the use of
tea as a drink. 01’ course. there are
various stories connected with it, among
which, perhaps, the following is quite
as interesting and creditable as any,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
As the tale runs, one of the daughters
of a foreign sovereign was hopelessly
enamored of a'young nobleman whose .
caste did not permit him to aspire to
her hand, but they exchanged glances,
and occasionally he gathered a few
blossoms and took means to have them
conveyed to her.
One day the princess met her admirer
in the grounds of the palace, and as the
attention of the attendants was attract-
ed in another direction, the young man
tried to put a few flowers into her hand
but all that she could grasp was a. little
twig with green leaves.
This she treasured, and when she
reached her apartments she placed the
twig in a goblet of water, here to .re—
main for some hours, the Object of her.
tenderest care. Toward evening she
was seized with a. sentimental attack,
during which she drank the water in
which the twig had been kept. It had
a most agreeable taste, and then she ate
the leaves and stalk.
The flavor pleased her greatly, and
every day, in memory of her admirer,
she had bunches of the tea. tree brought
to her, and ate them. or put them in
water and drank the infusion.
The ladies of the court observed her,
and were moved to try it thsmselves.
.and did, so with such pleasing result
that the practice, sprang throughout the
kingdom, and one of the great indus-
tries of China was thus established.
It is claimed that the date of the sen
timental origin of tea. drinking was
nearly 3000 years before Christ.
NOT A DIPLOMAT.
An American Naval Ofilcer Who “‘11:.-
Rude to Royalty.
The Westminster Gazette tells t'm.
following of Rear Admiral Kirkland.
of the United States Navy, who was a
few months ago relieved from the com
mand of the European squadron: It is
said that his conduct at the Kiel cele
bration gave offense to the Navy de’
partment for the following reasons:
One day during the festivities Rear Ad-
miral Kirkland was standing on the
deck of the Chicago, his flagship, in
conversation with some ladies, when
the Emperor William approached. .
“My brother. Prince Henry, would
like to visit your ship, Admiral,” said
the Emperor.
“Just wait a. minute, will you?” re-
plied Admiral Kirkland. “I am talk-
ing with these ladies.”
When the conversation was conclud-
ed and the ladies had taken their de-.
parture, Admiral Kirkland turned to
the Emperor William and said: "*‘Now,
what is it you want?”
The Emperor repeated that his bro-
ther would like to come on board and
see the Chicago.
“Well. trot him along; I’ll be glad to
see him,” was the reply.
The Wearing of Rings.
In the modern fondness for rings is
seen a. survival of the barbaric love of-
display, of superstition and of senti-
ment. The habit of loading the fin-
gers with jewels, which Seneca con-
demned in his dry, saying: “our fingers
are loaded with rings, each joint is
adorned with precious stone,” is still in
favor with a class in whom the barbaric
instinct is not yet exterminated, while
many a modern belle would liketo wear
as did’the Empresses Faustina and Do-
mitia, rings which cost $200,000 and
$300,000. And she does often wear, as
as did her Roman prototype, “sardony-
vese, jaspers and emeralds on the joints
of her fingers.”
Leave the Carpet Up.
One half of the secret of being com--
fortable during the heated terms of
summer and early autumn is included
in suitable furnishing. There are two
ways of treating a room; one makes it
close, stuffy and unendurable even to
the sight; the other makes it so inviting
and so cool looking that it will tempt
one to abide in it and forget the torrid
terrors of the unsheltered out of-door
spaces. NO room can possess this de-
light if it is carpeted. The very sight
of the woolen carpet and curtains and
upholsterings makes one shrink back
and dislike to touch them in mid
summer.

' THE-Y GIOT THE LION-
..-. m or Two Colorado Hunters 1-
Their C. 1111p.
The. mountain hon” remarked an
MIL‘L.
old ininer some time ago, a’is becoming"
rare in 11 ie mountains of the West:
When,I hrst went seeking after the gold
and silver of Colorado these animals
were rather plentiful. They were met
in pairs, and were common enough to
make it hazardous for a man to walk in
the valleys alone and unprOtected, par
ticnlarly after dark.
“I remember on one occasion having
a. slight adventure with a. lion .that
scared me nearly out of my wits. With
a pal I was ,workmgI a claim in the
mountain near Ouray. Winter came
on, and one 'day, before the very cold
weatherset in, we went to the town to
get supplies, leaving. our little cabin on
the mountain alone.
“It came on to snow soon after we got
to Our.a and we did not get a chance
to go to lie claim for a week. As we
slowly climbed the hills I noticed the
tracks of a mountain lion leading to our
cabin. and when we reached the house
found that we had forgotten to close a
window at the side. We had lost sight
of the tracks and the sight of the open
window caused me to forget all about
the animal and its presence.
“I started for the window and was
about to put my head in the apartment
when there came a terrible growl, and
the next instant a huge yellow body
darted through the opening right over
my back, its claws catching my buck-
skin and ripping it open to my waist
turning me completely over and into
the snow.
“My pal whipped out his gun and the
lion turned on him. Before he could
shoot, the beast was upon him, and
seizing him by the slack of his jacket
shook him as if he had been a rat. I
was on my feet by this time, and sneak-
ed up and put a bullet through his head.
He dropped, and my pal drew his breath
freely once more. Neither of us was
hurt, but the lion’ s skin' in another week
was serving as a mg by my cot. —New
Orleans Times-Democrat.
HIGH POLITICAL KICKERS.
Some Senators and their Breezy Peculiar
ities.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Bal
timore American, is unjust in speaking
of the Hon. William Allen Pefier as the
“long-winded orator from Kansas,” and
also in saying that he has been com
pletely outdone by the fledglings from-
Nebraska and South Carolina.” Mr.
Pefier is good on a. long distance, but he
is rather frequent-winded than long-
winded. He seldom talks more than
several days a day; but he is not rare.
Mr. Tillman of South Carolina. is dis-
tinguished by heat rather than by stay-
ing qualities. If he could talk as fre-
quently as his distinguished colleague
from Kansas he would throw out so
much heat that he would catch afire
and burn up.
The Hon. Ventus Allen' is good for a
twenty-day center with his vocal team
at any time. The Hon. Marion Butler
of North Carolina. in general and Hon-
eycutt’s' in particular combines unusual
time there is, and only stops for want
of sleep. But the man who still holds

THE GRANT STATUE.
The Beautiful Gift of the Union League
Club to Brooklyn.
The Union League Club of Brooklyn
recently presented to the city a. fine
equestrian statue of General Grant. It
was the work of a well-known sculp-
tor, William Ordway Partridge, and is '
a. highly c1 editable specimen of his ar-
tistic skill.
The ceremonies attending the pres-
entatiov- to the city were graced by the
attendance of many prominent men, in-
cluding Governor Morton. eneral
Horace Porter was the orator of the
day and he paid an appreciative tribute
to his old friend and commander.
The statue stands on Bedford avenue,
in front Of the club house. ’where it is -
passed and admired every day by many
thousands of people.
