Tho rolalive quantity of tea con sumed by various Nations is an inter esting subject. Excluding China and Jnpiiu, which produce their own, and fnruinU no fetntistie?, the Anglo-Saxon race is far ahead of all others. The English-fpealiing peoples (that is, Great Britain, with her colonies, and thq. United Btntce) account for four fifths of the tikole world's consump tion, and Great Britain alone takes jne-half of the total amount. The English drink ns ranch tea in the Rggregato as all the other civilized countries put together, though not so much per head as Fome of England's colonies. The United States comes next, with less than half the quantity, and then Hussis, with about ouC-third. The only other Europeans who take anything worth mentioning in propor tion to the population are the Dutch, and their tufcte for it ii no doubt due to tho fact that they have their own plantations in Java. The Ledger. The Spider's Eyesight. Ho far away can a spider see a fly ? After several years of ingenious experi menting Mr. and Mrs. Teckbam, the naturalist?, have concluded that the greatest average distance at which spiders aro able to see objects dis tinctly is about one foot. The same observers think that spiders have the senses of color and of smell but feebly developed. San Franoisco Call. .'

No man with half an eye can have failed to remark two facts as he take) bis walks abroad the increase in tho number of women with auburn or Ti-bian-hued hair, and the decrease in the company. of those who wear golden locks. The craze for perojide of .hy drogen is more than on the wane, but the demand for henna is so great that while none, or next to none, was im ported a couple of years ago, thousand of dollars' worth is now brought into the country. Already the color has traveled across the Atlantic. So generally have the chorus girls and soubrettes gone in for red hair that one of the theatrical managers has told a reporter that nearly every woman has applied to him for an en gagement has hair of the "sunset tint." He believes, indeeefctbat "if . ew color isn't forthcoming there J9qt,be golden-haired woman in the profes sion in a year's time." . BOGUS DIAMONDS. Some enrious stories can be told about the thousands of false diamonds sold yearly in London. As a working goldsmith I have seen a good deal of the trade in imitation Btones. People of U ranks bay them. A nobleman is in immediate want of cash and must find it somewhere. Hs will perhaps turn to bis family diamonds. Possibly $50,000 could be raised upon them. He aks the jewelry off to the false diajusnd provider, has the real stones removed and the false ones put in, and deposits the aotnal gems with some oiro as a se curity for a loan. No one is a bit the wiser. His wife appears in her jewels just the same as usual. If she didn't her husband would be made bankrupt by his creditors the next week. A largo amount of business is done in this way, and yon may depend upon it that the false diamond merchant has many a chuckle when he reads in his paper about Lady So-and-So's "mag nificent diamond bracelets" and the Countess Bareacre's "superb tiara."

Since the smart houses re fuse to make this nrbeooming gar ment, the better class of French ladies has taking to wearing skirts; atjjjjt apologies, for skirts, sucl ae we sco attached to a bathing suit and barely reaching to the knee, says a Paris letter in the New York Journal. The middle class women still ohng to the masculine attire, however. As to the difference in the wheels them selves, the tin. or metal "rims instead of our wooden ones, are the most notable feature. A police regulation demands a name plate, with the owner's name and address on every wheel, so that stolen or lost property may be identified or returned. In many cases the belln, which are also a necessity, are replaced by large-sized rattles which swing from the handle bars and jingle along the streets until one feels as though the seasons were reversed and the sonud was that of diminutive sleighs spinning past. At night there is a picturesque change from our regulations. Instead ot oil lamps, gay-colored Chinese lanterns hang on the handle-bars and sway with every motion of the wheel. They do not oast as good a light on the road lor toe uenent 01 tue rider as do our favorite lamps, but they are certainly immensely effective for the looker-on, nd suggest at once the idea of "feft of lanterns'.' on wheels.

It is wise to study out a style that suits your face, that is in every way becoming, and then cling to it, for fashion, so arbitrary iu other directions, allow great latitude in this.

The hope is expressed that with the liquor places under Impartial management the peasants may He induced to moderate their drinking on saints' nays, and be more regular In their drinking all the year round, and thus oonsume lu tbo aggregate a larger quantity than is now consumed by the bouts Indulged in on tho numerous holidays that mark the Russian yenr.

WHAT MAKES CRIMINAL!!. Statistics show that fifty to seventy-five per cent, of all the crime oommlttod In the United Slates la done by persons while under the Influence of alcohol. The reason for this Is plain. The person committing the crime is nnrcnthetir.ed, hi brain is paralyzed, he cannot think or act rightly. The1 mono maniac, the dipsomaniac the Idiot, the epi leptic, I ho Inebriate and the feeble minded are increasing at a greater ratio than the nor mal increase ot the population, and It Is this class ot defectives which largoly oompose the criminal class. the nation's dbink bill.
