LEGEND OF THE TEAPOT.
Origin of the Beverage as the Tale Is
Told In China.
The Chinese claim to be the first
users of tea as a drink, and how it
originated is told in a pretty little
legend thnt dates from 2,000 years be
fore the coming of Christ.
A daughter of a then reigning sov
ereign fell in love with a young noble
man whose humble birth excluded him
from marrying her. They managed to
exchange glances, and he occasionally
gathered a few blossoms and had them
conveyed to her.
One day In the palace garden the
sweethearts met, and the young man
endeavored to give her a few flowers,
but so keen was the watchfulness of
her attendants that all she could grasp
was a flttle twig with green leaves.
On reaching her room she put the
twig in water, and toward evening she
drank the water in which the twig
had been kept. So agreeable was the
taste that she even ate the leaves and
stalks. Every day afterward she had
bunches of the tea tree brought to her,
which she treated in the same way.
Imitation being the sincerest form
of flattery, the ladies of the court tried
the experiment and with such pleasing
results thnt the custom spread through
out the kingdom—and the great Chi
nese tea industry became one of the
greatest businesses in the world.—Lon
don Tit-Bits.
PAINT THE SCREW HOLES.
Then You Can Use Them Over and
Over Again Without Trouble.
Many persons experience consider
able difficulty in getting screws to hold
in screen doors and other movable con
veniences which are put up and taken
down frequently and which are held
in place by screws. The holes occu
pied by the screws become worn, and
the screws are often quite loose, caus
ing doors to sag and be otherwise out
of proper order.
Bits of paper, strings and small
pieces of wood are used to pnrtially
fill up the holes so as to cause the
screws to be tight, but these w’ork out
and cause great annoyance, and a bet
ter method is greatly desired.
A coat of paint on the Inside of the
screw holes Is the most satisfactory
remedy for such an annoyance.
When screws are removed paint the
holes with a small pencil brush or a
bit of cloth twisted and dipped in the
paint When the paint fills the creases
made by the threads on the screw and
thoroughly dries the screw will fit
tightly the next time it Is thrust Into
the cavity. The painting should be
done each time the screws are re
moved, and it will protect the wood as
well as make the boles ready for the
readjustment of the door or other ob
ject which has to be changed quite of
ten.—Philadelphia North American.
A Quaint Old Clipping.
From an old scrapbook, under the
date of Oct. 25. 1791, Is the follow
ing:
A young Fellow, of the City of Bris
tol, being in London lately, was, out
of Curiosity, led to see the Lunatics at
Bedlam. His first Approach was to
the Cell of a poor Man, to whom he
addressed himself thus—“So ho! what
brings thee here?” The miserable Ob
ject remaining silent, he repeated his
Question, and was answered only by
a Languishing Look, which so enraged
the Visitant, that he immediately spit
in the Man's Face through the Grate.
This caused the Lunatic gently to
wipe his Face wit a Whisp of Straw,
and raising his drooping Head, he
made this calm, sage and sensible Re
ply—“I am here. Sir, because God de
prived me of that Blessing which you
never enjoyed.”
Habits.
Imagine Hercules ns oarsman In a
rotten boat: what can be do there but
by the very force of his stroke expe
dite the ruin of his craft? Take care,
then, of the timbers of your boat and
avoid ail practices likely to introduce
either wet or dry rot among them.
And this Is not to be accomplished by
desultory or intermittent efforts of the
will, but by the formation of habits.
The will, no doubt, has sometimes to
put forth its strength in order to
strangle or crush the special tempta
tion. But the formation of right hab
its is essential to your permanent se
curity. They diminish your chance
of falling when assailed and they aug
ment your chance of recovery when
overthrown.—John Tyndall.

Europeans are wont to talk of Amer
