Tea a
everage
xr^t----t
Tea first became known in China nearly
3000 years before Christ. In that country
tea was greatly prized, both for its remark-
able qualities as a beverage and for the
almost religious ceremony attached to the
drinking of it. UP to the sixth century,
tea was used only for medicinal purposes.
Even in the seventeenth century it cost
$25.00 to $50.00 per pound, All tea caddies
were constantly kept under lock and
key. Today when even fine quality like
" SALAPA'' costs less than one-third of a
cent per cup, it is not surprising that the
consumption of tea is increasing tremen-
dously.

Punctuality.
Some one defines punctuality to be
"fifteen minutes before the time." At
aureate, It is not one minute atter the
time.
1 must tell you an anecdote of the
first Marquis of Abercorn. He Invited
a number of friends to dinner. The
beer for dinner was five, and all those
Invited knew It, of course, Well, the
)tour arrived, and but one of the guests
had come. Down sat the marquis and
his one guest to table. The anarquia
was punctual, if only Cue of the others
was.
By and by another dropped in, and
was very ouch mortilled to Rod din-
ner being eaten. And one by ono all
the rest came, and were likewise mor-
tified, But the marquis had taught
them all a good lesson, and 1 venture
to say that the next time they were
invited mouIe of them got in to the cof-
fee only, but -were on hand for soup.
General Washington was so very
ennetual that, on enc occasion, some
friends who were espectingehim at a
certain hotu', on finding that he bad
not arrived, all concluded that their
watches most bavo got wrong; and
:euro enouglt they bad, for Washington
soon came, and was not a minute late.
No doubt lets habits of punctuality
helped to make trim the great man
that he was.
Nor is any ono too young to begin
the •Cultivation of habits of punctuality,
The -boy who Is on time at schoai, on
time in class, on time when sent on an
errand, and 80. on, is apt to be the
punctual business or professional man,
'i'Ite habit of promptness is likely t0
cling alt through life.
Some persons, on the contrary, go
all through life in a ship -shod, down -at•
