House Cleaning "Why do you amble around like • centenarian7” asked ths citizen in
spats.
"House cleaning. Ouch!*’ cried the man in the cloth hat, holding his sides. "House cleaning did it. We have been housecleaning this week, and the wreck you behold before you is the
result.”
"Ah, I see. You fell out of the third I story window while cleaning it?” "Nope. Just plain house cleaning, which is the bane of married life and tne thing that will eventually kill off our best citizens. Last week 1 was a young, healthy animal, enjoying life and with not a worry in the world. Today 1 am full of aches and pains and no one would give 10 cents on the Collar for me. "Last Monday morning while at coffee and rolls my wife broke the news to me. ’Henry,’ she said, T start house c.eaning this morning and I’d like to have you stay home and assist me a little.’ What could I do? I was teeling fine and thought it would be fun to roll up my sleeves and tackle the Job. 1 put on an old suit and asked her to show' me what was to bo done. She said the piano would have to be moved from the front parlor to the kitchen. I begat) to whistle ana clinched With the instrument. "Did you ever try to shove and guide a piano along the length of aa right room flat? I was then ten minrtes burking it with my shoulder before It began to budge. Then it gave a lurch sideways. I got the little casters uuder It all facing the same way after a while and began to ram it again. It moved along slowly but surely for six feet, then—hing!

Him Out and He Went to Work. RIVEKHEAD. L. I.—When Herman Koppelman, 16-year-old boy of Manhattan and Southampton, was kicked out of his grandfather’s front door in Manhattan, he told the surrogate hi a proceeding here he didn’t whino about it. nor did he go around to the back door and ask for a "hand-out.” He said he went to work as a longshoreman. Then when the proceeding came on in court he further showed his independence by appearing without an attorney. “Didn’t think I needed any,” he replied, when asked where his lawyer was. And as the proceeding went along It appeared that he was right, for he showed Lawyer Houae.l. his opponent, and a big court audie.noe that he was able to take care of himself. Tncidently he got his old grandfather. James F. Fee, crying on the witness stand, made his little brother titter in the back seat, made his mother, with whom he doesn't live, blush, made the court laugh, aiuj showed there had been a real family row that precipitated the present inquiry over a few hundred dollars that he claims belongs to him through an estate. He said when he tried to get the money his grandfather put In s claim for board for $582.50 and his mother sent in a bill for $311.41 for
clothes.
”1 uerer had all those clothes she is charging for,” he said, "and my grandfather said he never was going to charge me a cent for board. After
the flowers alone of the plant, U rarely encountered In commerce. The petals, stamens, Ac., are sun f dried, and the resulting tea is of a rich, deep brown hue peculiarly delicate odor, and gives a pale amber colored Infusion rather more astringent In taste than that from the average fair grade leaf. The taste for It Is an acquired one, and even If this tea could be made commercially possible, It is doubtful If It would ever
become popular.
The American ter. trade could advantageously take a suggestion from the brick tea of the Far Bast.. In our country, the tea dust, sonic of which Is of good quality, is not properly utilized. In Europe It Is a regular article of trade, and It is advertized and sold as tea dust. In America It Is sold to thourands of cheap restaurants, who make from It the mixture of tannic acid, sugar and boiled milk which they sell as "tea." If, as In the Orient, this dust were compressed Into bricks, good tea could be made from It, and the product would find a ready market through the multitude of uses for which It Is adapted. A beginning In this direction has been made by the Plnehurst tea estate In South Carolina, and In Europe similar advances bare been Inaugurated. The virgin tea (blepjokl-chl), so called from Its use at Chinese weddings, Is the sun dried leaf Intact, tied up with these strands of colored

Then grandfather refused to give me carfare to ge to school at the City college, refused to give me money for lunches, called me all the animals he could think ef. from skunk to weasel, and then kicked me out. That was a few months ago. Then I went to work as a longshoreman. I worked every year since I was 12. and always took the money home to my mother. \

The rarest of all teas, and one that has never been known to reach this country, is a natural sweet tea, produced in western China on a very limited scale.

PITTSBURGH, Pa.—Has the wave of excitement of all sorts which is sweeping across the country turned the thoughts of women and girls away i] from the comparatively mild games of 500 and bridge to the fascinating dangers of craps? According to f’htef of Police Fisher of Bellevue, reports are current that it has. Chief Fisher said that although he h;e not come across any actual little games, he has had reports that, in fashionable circles, the plebti>n gamo of “African Golf" has almost supi rseded tho more aristocratic
bridge.
“’i here seems to be a wave of crap .’hooting sweeping over the state,’ j ft r.nh! Chief Fish'-r, "but it Is only re- if cently that 1 have heard of women In- Ik doL ing In it. 1 don’t think any Belle- ja vue women have been having any ■ J games—but you never can tell.” "If women start playing craps they N ire going to break their husbands," 9 “aid C&ptaln of Detectives Edeburn, I gj when asked If he had hoard any such [ H reports. ”1 hardly believe they have, taken up the ivories, but of course you never can tell what the women , R are going to do next, these days.
