This particular bald-headed man, like a good many other bald-headed men, had to get up and build the tires. When he arose next morning, the sun peeped in at the window and saw the pillow cling to (.he back <4 his head line a great white chignon. At first he did not realize his condition; he thought it must have caught on a pin or shirt button. It looked ridiculous, and he would throw it back on the bed before his wife saw it, so he caught it quickly by one end and “yanked.” • “ Oh ! oh !

S., London, ou “A Cup of Tea,” the ipeaker divided his Eubjact into tout sections—the tea, the water, the milk, the sugar. The lecturer tirst drew attention to tea drinking with every-day life, and showed that the principal com ponents of tea were theino and the es sential oil of tannin, which latter pos sessed astringent properties. He in formed the audience that the best time to take tea was about three honrfl after dinner or any other heavy meal, and deprecated in the strongest terms the excess to which tea drinkir^ is carried by some people, asserting that such r. practice induced a nervous disorganiza tion and impeded digestion. He showed that the sole difference between black and green tea was one of preparation, and that both kinds could be obtained from the leaves of the same plant. After asserting that the adulteration of tea had very much decreased of late years, which the tea-drinking public will be glad to know, the lecturer proceeding to treat of the various kinds of shrubs grown in different t'aris of the world and the I countries where the different kinds of I teas wore consumed, the lecturer came j to the consideration of tuo milk, it* I value ns a nutritive agent, and, referring to its adulteration, he made tho astound ing assertion that in London alone every year no less than £70,000 was spent on water which was sold as milk. Passing on to regard the sugar, the lecturer de nied the common error that sugar wa» injurious to the teeth, bringing forward os an example the negroes of Jamaica, who, ho said, though they wore the greatest eaters of sugar in the world, wt r ■ provci'hinl for their beautiful teeth.
