By whom or when the use of tea for drinking purposes was first discovered is lost in antiquity. It is spoken of as a famous herb in Chinese literature as far back as 2,000 years B. 0., at which time its cultivation and classification were almost as thorough and complete as they are today. One of the ancient legends says that its virtues were ac- cidentally learned by King Shen Nung She, the Chinese monarch who is also known as “the divine husbandman," who. the record says, flourished forty centuries ago. He was engaged in boilâ€" ing water over a fire made of the branches of the tea plant and careless- ly allowed some of the leaves to fall into the pot. There are several supporters of the siesta idea in this city who express re- gret that the custom appears to be passing away. These persons, who are themselves devotees of the practice, claim that it is a healthful and nerve restaring habit and that it it were in- dulged in systematically by the people of the United States and other pro- gressive countries there would be few. er cases of nervous wrecks for the newspapers to report. “Early rising and a short nap after dinner" is what these’ people advocate, claiming that the best work of most persons is per- formed in the morning. - Holler]: Condition- Klflht h. .1... to Habit In Emu.“ " There are Decline in Mexico City who take their afternoon nap every 49,, and are greatly benefitedytherebylbuf their number appears °m be growing less year by year.

The accent of this beautiful Indian word should not be put on the syllable ‘ag,’ but on the syllable ‘ar’â€"the penultâ€"the one before the last. Niagara means ‘hark to the thunder.’ Its accent should fall on the penult because the Indians them- selves accent It there. because in prac- tically all our Indian names of places the penult is the accented syllable. Think of the Indian names you know. Don't you accent nearly all of them on the syllable before the last? There are, for instance, Toronto, Mississippi, Alle- ghany, Appalachicola, Narragansett. Tuscaloosa, Saratoga, Ticonderoga. Os- wego, Conshohocken, Wissahickon and Hochelaga. In all these names the ac- cent is on the penult. Niagara is a Huron word, and if you can find a Huron you will find that he accents it as he does Saratoga or Tuscaloosa. I don't know how we have fallen into the habit of accentlng it wrong.” ‘ A Sequence 0! Titles. V A.

This complete change may have been directly or indirectly due to the inter» nal heat or the globe or may have re» sulted from volcanic action. Indirect- ly it would be accounted for by the im- mense heat evolved in the crumbling, fracturing and grinding together of the earth’s crust in the attempt to adjust itself to the cooling and contracting in- terior. Directly it may have been the result of a change in the direction of the internal heat, causing a fusion of the rocks or the"crust, the diamond and other crystals being formed when they again cooled. "‘Have you any one in court who will vouch for your good chamctet?’ queried the judge. The crystalline form or the diamond is undoubtedly due .to the action of heat, and the occurrence of these stonel in igneous rocks and mica slate, espe- cially at the Cape, lends color to the view that they have been metamor- phosed, as has been the case with graphite. It Was Probably In Its Original Stat. 3 Vexetablo' Product. ' Originally the diamond was probably a vegetable product exuded from some ancient tree. Positive evidence on the subject is not forthcoming, but the con- currence of such authorities as New- ton, Brewster, J ames'on and Lavoisier. who trace it to a vegetable sour‘ce.. must, in the absence of decisive nega- tive proof, make this hypothesis prob- able.
