EMPLOYES STOP FOR TEA A new departure for Boston, and tit may be for the country, is her (edded with the approach of pro aiibition. It is the service of afternoon tea (among the employes of big com- Bnercial establishments and busi ness houses. Now there is nothing essentially vor particularly novel about an aft ernoon tea for women folks, but as Applied to stores, factories, offices And the like, it is essentially novel ■and a distinct departure in busi ness life. It has, unmistakably, the •trade mark of an English custom. One is inclined, at the first men tion of it, to speak father contemp tuously or slightingly, and to ques tion its general adaptability. If you chance to drop in at the •luxurious offices of a tea company -j&ny afternoon between 3 and 4 -o'clock, you will see a practical dem onstration of this custom, for it is ia regular occurence there. The of ffice force rests ten or fifteen min utes, while a neatly attired, daintily Tiefrocked maid circles around among the employes and cheers Ihem up with cups of steaming hot (fragrant tea. The tea is served with •wafers or crackers and free of charge. The company believes it preserves [and exemplifies the atmosphere of fthe home in commercial life. Furth lermore, that It tend to greater ef bficiemcy, for the vice-president of ■the corporation says: "You know Ithat around 4 o'clock in the after noon the vitality of the average cm. is low and the nervous energy Jis not keen as at an earlier hour of tt.he day. You would be astonished i,to note the bracing effect which 'follows the drinking of a cup of '■tea. Its exhilarating effect on the kspirit of our little community is •■wonderful." —Portland, Me., Eas tern Argus. DUBLIN'S BOOTBLACKS Among the populace of Dublin in ;1780 the shoeblacks were a numer jous and formidable body. The pol ! ish they used was lamp black and eggs, for which they purchased all jthat were rotten in the markets. fTbeir implements consisted of a I three-legged stool, a basket contain ( ing a blunt knife called a spud, a j. painter's brush and an old wig. A gentleman usually went out in •the morning with dirty boots or Vfihoes, sure to find a shoeblack sit • ting on his stool at the corner of a j street. The gentleman put his foot bin the lap of the shoeblack without • ceremony, and the artist scraped-it . with his spud, wiped it with his wig Sand then laid on his composition as i thick as paint with his painter's J. brush. The stuff dried with rich polish, Lrequiring no friction. It was little r inferior to the elaborate modern ifiuids, save only the intolerable - odors exhaled from eggs in a high -.state of putridity and which filled ?the house which was entered before • the composition was quite dry and > sometimes even tainted the air of S fashionable drawing rooms.—De i troit News.

NEW RUSSIAN STAMPS Postage stamps have appeared (with the paper they are printed on i consisting of German military maps! These queer adheaives are only a few of many strange stamps which are emanating from the land which ■ once embraced the empire of Rus ( si a The map-back labels come from ! Livonia. There, paper was scarce, j For the postal authorities, the white | paper generally used must have | (been unobtiurtable, because when i the first stamp issue of "Latvija," i the native name of Livonia, was I printed, the live kopecks value, and : perhaps other denominations, came i forth with the reverse side of each | sheet being what had been a topo graphical may of a section of Rus j sia.

S. During 1918 Chicago The mine output of abrasive garnet in the United States in 1918 was 4.127 short tons, accord ing to a report of Frank J. Katz of the United States Oeological Survey. The quantity of milled garnet stocks on hand at the end of the war amounting to 2,030. During 1918 the price of garnet produced by quarry and mill operators ranged from $25 to S6O a short ton. The output was smaller than in pre vious years in spite of the heavy de mand. This was due to a shortage of labor in the war period. The gar net produced came chiefly from War ren county. New York. Small amounts were contributed from Merrimack county. New Hampshire and Clay county, North Carolina. Garnets capable of being cut into the handsome and valuable gems seen in rings and scarf pins are rare in the United Statea Abrasive gar net is found in many parts of the country. It is used chiefly in the manufacture of sandpaper. Sand paper is never made with sand but with crushed quartz and garnet. CAN'T GET AHEAD OP BOYS A firm in Massachusetts avenue, just starting into business, sent up rubber balloons in lots of ten. and attached to each was a ticket call ing for merchandise. The news had scattered far and wide. But the boys did not intend to let the balloons sail away into the air and come down in some one's yard miles away. When the first ten left the hands of the man sending them up there was a twang of rubber bands and a flock of bent pins was shot into the slowly rising balloons. Four dropped to the ground, burst. into bits—and likewise four tickets call ing for merchandise which the youthful bandits scrambled for and took into the store for redemption. —lndianapolis News.
