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

VAMPIRE WANTS A JOB
Recently the L. P. Hoss Shoe
tCompany inserted an advertisement
'• m a Rochester paper for vampers
| and closers-up. Among the answers
' received was one from a young lady
I who signed herself as Miss Mabelle
i Jones and gave her address as Gen
r eral Delivery, Rochester. The let
i ter said in part.
"Gentlemen—l have seen your ad
j for vampires and close-ups, and I
• would like the job. I have been
1 studying to vamp for several years
'. and have been practicing eye work
[ for a long while. My gentlemen
! friends tell me that I have the other
j movie vamps backed off the map.
i I have made a particular study of
f Theda Bara, I don't know much
I about olose-ups, but suppose I could
( learn. I have a good form, swell
i brown eyes, and a fine complexion.
"If you would like. I will call and

j been looking for a vampire job, but
\ never saw no ads in the papers be
• fore. Yours,
"MABELLE JONES.
"P. S.—Do you furnish clothes
for your vampires? I have just come

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.
The scarcity of white paper is
f further emphasised when it is stat
l ed that lined writing paper also
i was used, the ten and fifteen ko
) pecks values thus appearing with
I thin blue lines running through each
j sheet of stamps. Hugh M. Clark

TUESDAY EVENING.
Once Owned City Site;
Now Held as Bandit
Patrick Peralta, once wealthy,
adopted aon of the late Vlncente
Peralta, owner of the land where the
city of Oakland now stands arrived
at the end of his of wealth and
adventure last night when he was
ledged in the Alameda county jail
under charges of petit larceny.
Coincidentally, Peralta was arrest
ed by Marshal J. F. Peralta, of San
Leandro, and through their meeting
light was thrown on much early his
tory of the East Bay district. Ar
rested under the name of John Smith
and charged with stealing liquor,
eggs and cigars found in his suitcase,
the prisoner wa s questioned in the
county Jail.
'Your name is not John Smith."
Marshal Peralta said. "Tell
real name."
"As a matter of fact, I am a rela
tive of yours," the prisoner is said
to have responded. "My true name
i• Patrick Peralta and I am an adopt
ed son of Vincente Peralta, who own
ed the townsite of Oakland. I have
squandered more than SIOO,OOO. Now
I am 'broke' and I stole these few
things because I was broke'. I was
working as a porter and kitchen man
at the Estudillo House when I took
the articles."
Marshal Peralta studied his fam
ily tree and declared that the state
ments were true, making the prisoner,
through his adoption, related to vari
ous shining lights in the East Bay
social colony. Including Mrs. Ermina
Peralta Dargie and Mrs. Lndevina
Ivey Peralta.
The accused man said that as a boy
be had played* on the property where
the jail now stands. He said:
"In the old days there was a big
pavilion here. When I was six
months old I was adopted by Vincente
Peralta, with whom I made my home.
• "My father sold the land that now
serves as the townsite of Oakland for
SIOO,OOO to Colonel John Hayes and
his associates, and. as I recollect, the
payment was made In gold slugs,
coins not being in general use at that

and sunflower seed, fed to the Russian
refugees by Lenlne and Trotzky, were
brought to San Francisco by T. L.
McArtney, who was in charge of the
automobile school of the Russian
army at Petrograd under the late
czar.
McArtney was one of the last Amer
icans to leave Petrograd on the
American embassy train, which de
parted from Russia on March 19. 1918.
"1 lost 53 pounds, subsisting on
the starvation rations furnished us,"
said McArtney, who arrived on the
Tenyo Maru, "and I have seen moth
ers in Petrograd soaking billposters
to obtain starch used in the glue, to
feed their children."

Garnet Production
In U. 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.
