Probably the greatest tea drinken In the world outside of China are tha Russians. They consume au enormous quantity annually many times what Americans manage to dispose of. The poor people and the Russian people are the poorest in existence use the so-called "brick" tea. This is the cheapest sort, being mixed with the stems and compressed by some adhesive gum Into dry cakes of various sizes, re-flenibllcg in its appearance "plug" tobacco.

This tea, vhich would probably prove poisonous to anyone else, Is consumed by the Russian working-man at the average rate of about 2i) stakan (or tumblers) a day, the Rus sian stakan beipg equal to five of the little thimbles of cups used in Ameri ca nt afternoon teas. Taking into consideration that black, sour or bitter. brick-like bread, raw onions, garlic, iried leather fish and strongly Ealted herring are usually the chief articles of food of the people ut large, one must not wonder at the enormous quantity of hot tea needed to quench a Russian'! thlrfjt and help on his digestion. ORIGIN OF THE VIOLIN. The Mythological Story of the In trament as Told by a Magazine Writer, In the National Magazine is an in teresting article regarding the history of the violin.

The writer says: An ancient legend tells us that one day as Orpheus, son of Apollo and the Muss Kalliope, was walking by tje sea, trilling in soft cadence a soug taught him by the celebrated teacher, Linos, he was attracted by the sound of swee music, which seemed but the echo of his own glorious voice. He walked along, singing, and the sound approached, as if to meet him, till finally it rang at his very feet. Glancing down, he saw the shell of a turtle, which had been cast high and dry upon the beach and left there by the receding waves. The little thing had djed and dried up so that only the iinews, shriveled to springs, and the shell remained. The dried up sinews were tightly etretched across the hollow shell and the wind as it listed touched the strings, causing them to vibrate over the shell sounding board and give forth the sweet, sad tones.

Enchanted, he bore his treasure home and from it fashioned the viol shell, with which he ever after accompanied his voice, and the nymph, Eurydice, en chanted by its magic, became his bride, Chie p.

Pher Are Willing to Adopt Amy Means to Take Off Superfluous Weight. Getting fat is the great dread of all women, opera singers, from the prima donna to the girl in the 'steenth row of the chorus, said a veteran theatrical manager, who was in the city a few days, ago, say 8 the New Orleans Times-Democrat, and when a singer sees the fatal symptoms begin to appear she is willing to resort 1o desperate measures to nip them in the bud. Calisthenics, dieting, practicing with clubs, Turkish baths and even straight-out starvation are a few of the things that are generally tried, but they are rarely successful. One of the few cases I ever knew in which a marked tendency to stoutness was successfully controlled was that of a very charming lady who is still an ornament to (he lyric stage. Some years ago she r-udnenly took on flesh in an alarming fashion, and everybody predicted that her career was ended.

Next season, however, she was as sylph-like es ever, and exactly how she did it ha never been told. The truth is her system was very simple. During a summer vacation, spent in the country, she had her husbir.d drive a dag cart every day along a quiet road while she held to the back of the vehicle and followed at a ran. That sustained her and kept her from falling, and at the same time compelled her to take violent exercise. The horse went at a gentle trot, which was gradually increased as she became a bet ter and better sprinter.

Of course, it vas very absurd, leap ing along in that manner, and the country folks who Eaw her thought she was crazy," but the plan worked like magic, and she lost all her superfluous flesh and at the same time improved in health a remarkable combination.

In this case the visitor also wore a epyglass of great size, hung round hia iiclr, all throui the entertainment. lAnother highly connected EngHsh-Onan, attending to evening reception, 'given expressly for him, came into 4ha parlor with his hat and umbrella In his bend, declining to be parted them through th whole even-Jngj which suggested to a clever New-fport lady the story of the showman who exhibited a pietaqre of Daniel in Uue litm'a den and ymted out that Dsaiel was to be distinguished from the lions by having a blue cotton umbrella under his arm.

Major, tho famous cement man, of New York, explains some very interesting facts about Major's Cement. The multitudes who use this standard article know that it is many hundred per cent, hetter than other cements for whioh similar claims are made, but a great many do not know why. The simple Teason is that Mr. Mojur uses the best materials ever discovered and other manufacturers do not use them, Because they are too expensive and do nut allow large profits. Mr.

Major tells us that one of the elements of his cement coats $3.75 a and another costs $2. 65 a gallon, while a large share the Bo-oalled cements and liquid glue upon the market are more than sixteen-cent glue, dissolved In water or citric acid, and, in some allered slightly in color and odor by the addition of cheap and useless materials. Major's cement retails at fifteen cents and twenty-five cents a bottle, and when a dealer tries to eeli a substitute you can depend upon it that Ills only object is to make larger profit. The profit on Major's cement is as much an any dealer ought to make on any cement. And this is doubly true In view of the fact that oach dealer gets his share of the tvnefit of Mr.
