CIIA NO YU IN JAPAN.
AN ANCIENT METHOD OF BREWING
THE CUP THAT CHEERS.
The Ceremonial Tea, an Old Jupaiien dia
tom, Still Obaerred with, Sarupulnun lre
rLslou udiI Great Enthimlanm AnAmrrl
can ljily' TCxperlence.
A social custom of tho ohlen timo that is
now kejt up with Home-thing of tho reverence
that attaches itself to personal relics is the
cha no yu, or ceremonial tea. This formal
and elaborate method of making tea for
small .groups of friemls grew up slowly in
tho quiet atmosphere of tho Kioto court
about throo centuries ago, but it remained
for tho Shogun, Ilidoyoshi, to take it up, add
more aud more ceremony to it, and make it
tho great form of social entertainment
among tho highest classes. This wily leader
of men weighted tho tiimplo proceiis of tea
making with so many prcciso and tlelihcritte
forms and lniimto rules that wlicn duimios
assembled togetlier they were so closely occu
pied with tho solemn tcamuking that they
had no timo to hatch conspiracies or indulge
in crsonal quarrels.
Cha no yu survives now as a charming
relic of the past, and every Japanese of the
higher classes has more or lews skill in ier
forniing the rites, and notes the host's move
ments with tho closest attention when any
ono makes tea after tho coremonial rules iu
their presence. Kvery club liouso has its
master of cha no yu, who presides over the
bowl and brazier when such entertainments
aro desired, and tho master gives courses of
instruction when pupils apply. Women nro
trained in the methods, too, and young Indies
tt tho highest rank, even at this advanced
day of I'reiicli fashions, go through a course
of cha no yu lessons as part of a liiii.-.hel
education. The empress and her court ladies
givo much timo to tho rites of cha no yu, and
its observance has never be(n allowed to
wano in the palace.
DINING AT A CLUB UOCSE.
It wasuppartnt that 1 roso cubits in thoes
tiiaatiou of a Japanese gentleman when 1
asked him for tho address of a master of cha
no yju. IIo assured mo that a great artist
in that line could be found at tho lloishiga
oka club, of which ho was a member, and set
tho evening ou which wo should dino at the
club houso with him and his wifo and meet
tbo master of tho ceremonies. The Hoishi
gaoka club is closed off from tho temple
grounds by high hedges and a grand old oak
treo that stands at its entrance, and could bo
asily misses! if not known ami lookel for.
A tiny room, with a round window and a
screen door opening; on tho garden, received
us for tho few minutes that wo waited for
our host to divest himself of his foreign
clothes and assume tho rustling silk kimono
and coat of a Japanese gentleman. lie and
his pretty little wifo were pictures as they
sat ou tho mats sipping tho tiny cups of
amber tea brought to us, while we two for
eign women seemed to overflow with drapery
end dress stuff on every side, and the incon
gruity of our figures in such a scene was
sadly apparent. There was a rustling out
side, and the paper screen slid back and dis
closed the master of cha no yu with lantern
in hand. Slipping into wooden clogs wo
clattered along a garden path after him to
the tea room.
In the tea room proper we took our seats
ou the mats, and tho master who was to act
as host began tho rites. A closed kettlo of
water resting in tho small fireplace sunken
in tho floor was all that tho room contained,
besides a kakemono and a vase of flowers in
a recess. The master, with tho greatest so
lemnity, brought in a box containing char
coal and implements for making the Cre;
retired and brought in a bowl of sand. With
a deliberation and an exactness acquired only
by a lifetime of practice, he went through
the process of removing tho water kettle,
dredging the fresh sand, laying in charcoal,
sprinkling incense, dusting the edges of tho
tiro place, aud setting back -the water kettle.
Every movement, every jiosition of the
thumb or finger, every sweep of the arm or
angle of the elbow were carefully regulated
by set rules, and an awkward or hurried
movement would have been a ceremonial
crime. With the same awi'ul silence the
master rose and carried out sand bowl and
charcoal box one by one.
A LESSON IN CHA NO VC.
During tho interval, whilo tho fresh char
coal caught fire and the water boiled, wo
dined. Whilo the last trays were removed,
we stepped to the tiny veranda and looked
out upon the moonlighted garden, and the
room was made ready for the continuance of
the cha no yu. The master eat meditatively
before the simmering kettlo like somo be
nevolent Buddha about to ierform the rites,
a tiny bamboo dipper, a bowl, a silk bag, and
a thing Like a shaving brush, but made of
finely split bamboo, lying before him. With
all the seriousness in the world, he produced
a square of purple silk from his girdle, folded,
stroked, and snapped it just so, took up the
little brocade bag and deliberately untied its
silk cords and revealed a littlo tea caddy
about three inches high, of ancient brown
earthenware.
The master made some magicians' passes
over tho top of the tea caddy to remove the
invisiblo and impalpable dust, carefully
rubbed a straight ivory spoon and laid it
down, wiped the bowl with a shred of white
cloth elaborately folded beforehand, and
then the tea making really began. We were
watching closelj, and the faces of our Japan
ese friends were glowing with pleasure at
noting the perfect movements of the master.
It would requiro columns to tell to a critical
Japanese just how the master crooked his
finger, removed the lid of the kettle, rinsed
tho bowl and the bamboo whisk, and did
much that we hardly suspected as being
studied or a part of the set programme. In
general outline he put a few tiny spoonfuls
of powdered tea in the bowl, poured on the
boiling water and beat the mixture to a
froth with a bamboo -whisk. Tho bowl was
then offered round to us as a loving cup, and
each took a sip of the thick, gruel like drink
that tasted like the greenest of green tea and
quinine mixed. The powdered tea is made
of the choicest young leaves of tho tea plant,
dried immediately after picking, and ground
to a powder as fine as flour, and is used only
for ceremonial tea driukings. Iu an equally
deliberate and elaborate manner tho muster
rinsed out his tea bowl and whisk, covered
up his tea caddy and set his things away,
and we, bowing our heads to the mats three
times, rose upon our feet, that had been
asleep for the whole hour that the solemn
process was In operation. Ruhamab's Tokio

JUMPING FROM THE SKY.
Kiition Kiperlenced by a Vernal Tar
achute Flyer.
"I suppose a brief story on the way I jump
would be interesting to you," said a female
aeronaut. "It's all so simple to me, though,
that I can't understand why it should excite
people as it does, for I have actually seen
women faint away and men turn deathly
pale after I had cut the ropes and started
heavenward. You see, I always take a look
downward when I am up a few hundred feet
just why, I am mire I can't say. And right
here let me tell you that I have sometimes
singled out from the sea of upturned faces
just the ones I knew were going to bo shaded
with disappointment should 1 fail to fall and
be smashed to pieces. You may think the
notion is all in my brain, but I have it firmly
fixed there, at any rate, and I know there
are such people in tho world.
"Where aro we? Oh, j-cs, going up or
rather, tho earth is dropping away leneath
our feet you know that is always tho sensa
tion. Tho parachute which wo are to cut
loose at tho proper time hangs listlessly
downward. Tho ropo which holds it to the
balloon passes through a steel ring. A sharp
knife blade, worked by a cord, is so arranged
that at the proper timo a little jerk and we
aro freo.
"Now comes tho exciting moment, even to
tho veteran. Above 3'ou tho b;:l!oon, freed of
tho weight which gave it steadiness, is rock
ing and reeling, while tho parachute is whiz
zing downward. You did not feel that you
were ascending, but as you shut your eyes
and draw in your breath in littlo gasps a
long drawn inspiration would bo impossible
you are fully aware that you are descend
ing that you are going with such frightful
velocity, too, that unless there comes an end,
and that end soon, the end of all things will
bo at hand. I'rickly sensations shoot over
your frame; and as you gasp for breath it
seems as if a knifo had been thrust into your
vitals. Your thoughts are racing along with
ns great seed as your downward momen
tum; your courage, too, commences to leave
you, and you aro threatened with a total
collapse death I
"Suddenly the mad rush is checked. The
parachute 'has grasped tho situation,' so to
sjieak. At least it has 'grasped' sufficient air
to open it out, and as it gradually expands
tho motion becomes steadier, until you are
descending so slowly and gently that you ac
tually have a sleepy sensation. And after
the thrill, the shock of the moment before,
tho feeling is so dreamily delicious that really
you ore in danger from it unless you brace
up and tight it off, for Mother Earth is shov
ing her smiling but rugged faeo closo at you
again it really appears as if the earth came
buck to 3'ou, just as it seemed to recede and
you must remember that you must be on the
lookout for a safe landing place, and that
more agility is required in this part of the
feat than iu any other. Chicago Tribune."
One of Ooiliam's Roliemians.
One striking looking man has quite a his
tory. Over six feet tall, of fine physique,
with a round, full face, the lines of which in
dicate a broad, genial nature as against the
rigors of hard luck, ho is a type of that pecu
liar Bohemian class which flourishes in no
place so well as New York. Ho is in contin
ual good humor, and people who pass daily
are as accustomed to his bright, sunny smile
as they are to the magnificent portico of the
house. This man has been a figure in city
life for ten years past lie is a bright law
yer, a brilliant speaker and a man of won
derful ability: yet no ono has ever known
him to turn these talents to advantage. He
iias no income. When he came here from
tho south, where he was born and bred, he
was not overburdened with wealth, and at
no time in his life has he been the possessor
of $1,000 that he could call his own. Yet
this man dines at Delmonieo's or the Hoff
man, has elegant apartments at a well known
hotel, and to many is looked upon as a pros
perous citizen. He is to be seen at all the
swell dinners, at the theatres and at tho
clubs. Imbbling over with good humor, a
reservoir of epigrams, one of tho most com
panionable of beings, he flits about from
place to place.
To those who do not know him intimately
it is a mystery how he manages to exist. One
of his friends explained that this gay fellow
has lived in this precarious way since he
reached the age of manhood. He is a most
insinuating talker, and can borrow money
from a casual acquaintance with the grace
of a Bentinck. Many who have been
"touched" by this talker have never been
ablo to understand what possessed them to
loan him money. Eight hearted, free of care,
ho sails through the sea of life a magnificent

A Caution to Consumers.
Ice cream, cream cake or lemon pie
should be eaten within twelve hours aftse
they are made. In the case of a party or
picnic where the ice cream is purchased from
the confectioner particular iiiquiry should be
made as to its freshness, aud if it is more
than twelve hours old it should be unhesi
tatingly rejected. Canned meats, and in fact
all canned goods, should be eaten or cooked
as soon as opened, and under no circum
stances should they be placed in the refriger
ator to bo kept They are cheap enough and
can be bought in packages of any size, so
that there is no necessity for opening
more than can be used in one day by a
family of ordinary numbers. In re
gard to canned fruits and jams, if left for
any length of time after being opened,
fermentation sets in, and it continues in the
stomach after they have been eaten. The
practice of reboiling home made preserves,
which have begun to ferment, or "work," as
it is popularly expressed, cannot be recom
mended, for, although frequently this may
destroy the organism which causes the fer
ment, it is by no means invariably the case.
The cheap jellies which come put up in glass
tumblers should never bo used. They are
made from a very poor quality of gelatine,
colored and flavored artificially. The color
and flavor are harmless in the majority of
cases, but tho jelly itself is indigestible, and
generally has begun to decompose, as shown
by the laj'er of "mold" on top. Boston Her

Talking of "handy" weapons, what a
frightfully convenient weapon, cheap enough
to be within tho reach of all, and carrying a
ball big entugh to makea hole like a gas pipe,
is tho British bulldog revolver. It has taken
more lives iu its brief space of existence than
any other form of translation known to in
ventive genius. You don't need to cock it;
it does that for you. Just pull ou the trigger,
up goes the hammer and down it comes again
and the deed is done; that slight finger pull
has made a corpse and a murderer. Think of
it and leave your gun at home. Teach the
boys to use their fists, and give the women
and old men clubs to hit with, but put up the
self cocking revolver except for mad dogs.

Women Too Little A Harmful Habit.
A Warn Id;;.
Let no man take liberties with his stomach
ii'.r woman neither, for that matter. The
stomach is a long suffering momlier, but
like tho worm, it will "turn" upon occasion.
Most men love their stomachs, but few re
spect them. But that is where they make a
largo mistake. Take care of 3"our stomach.
You have only one, and 3'ou don't know
when you're going to get another. In these
days of development and discovery, nothing
is more probable than tho improbable, und
it is risky business hazarding a xKitivo and
definitive statement on any subject; but it is
safe to say that no man will ever get a second
stomach any more than ho will a second soul.
Therefore it behooves him to bo good to
both.
Take care of your stomach and it will take
care of yon. Abuse it and woe bo unto 3-011.
Tho ancients made tho stomach tho seat of
the affections, and with good reason. Somo
even go so far ns to center tho soul there. It
is certain that the hades of tho divorce court
is filled with cases tiiat ca:i bo traced direct
to a defective cuisine, and who shall say how
many lost souls have gone down to perdition
who dated their first dereliction from duty
back to tho deadly frying pan, and their
fall from grace to the diabolical agency of
half baked dough?
A HALO Oil A HALTER,
Women desire to widen their sphere. Let
them enlarge their culinary horizon. Tho
woman who invents a new dish deserves tx
halo or a halter, according to tho dish.
Many a woman has gone to an honored
gravo whoso best title to immortality was
her baking. Iler children rise up and call
her blessed because sho made good bread.
As u rulo men cat too much aud women
too little. And both are apt to forget that
quality has more, or should have more, to do
with tho matter than quant it3. Few women
have what may bo called the "alimentivo
sense"' properly developed. Tho average
woman seems to consider it her special
duty and proud prerogative to cater to that
high and roighty monarch, her ord and
master's stomach, and to let her own severely
alono.
But, even in this era of cookery schools.,
how often can she intelligently cater to any
body's stomach? Sho knows all about cakes,
candy and kickshaws, but when it comes to
the substantials, where is she And when it
comes to tho aesthetics of eating, how many
of either men or women aro "there."
Married women eat moro than single wo
men, not so much as a matter of taste as of
habit, and because food is lying around.
Men must have their regular meals, and what
they don't want, women will eat rather than
seo it go to waste.
TTTTEItLY DEMORALIZED.
It is notorious that women become utterly
demoralized as to their eating, when tho
"men folks" are away from homo for any
length of time. Whether the family be rich
or poor seems to make littlo difference with
women, who almost invariably abandon tho
regular dinner when tho head of the house is
away, and drift into tho slovenly ernd harm
ful habit of "picking up" such odds and
ends mostly sweet stuff and pickles as may
come handy. If men were good for nothing
else in a house, they would be well wortk
their euro aud "keep" just to hold the wo
mankind to somo sort of regularity and
sense in the matter of their meals.
It is the single women, however, who most
need taking in hand tho woj-king givU
especially. Some of them deny themselves
the necessaries of life in order to put tho pro
ceeds of their mart-rdoni upon their backs.
Poor misguided young creaturesl Haven't
they sense enough to know that bright eyes,
rosy cheeks and calico aro moro attractive
and will catch a husband sooner than dull
orbs, sallow face and satins?
This is the season of the 3-ear when man
kind generally aro likely to bo reminded that
they have stomachs. The gala daj-s draw
near when digestive organs do not digest,
when baby luxuriates in colic, papa curvets
with cramps and mamma succumbs to the
"morbus."
There is a good old saying that an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure. The
doctors have slain their thousands, and tho
cucumber its tens of thousands. Remember
this, and respect j-our stomach. Mary Nor
ton Bradford in Boston Globe.
Woman Her Worst Enemy.
Once more it is woman who is apparently
woman's worst enemy, and London sins far
more heavily in this respect than New York,
and for a very obvious reason, that of
harply defined lines of caste and the neces
sity for emphasizing them felt by all whoso
position does not speak for itself. A "born
lady" might, on entering a shop where women
clerks were sitting, realize that from eleven
to fourteen hours' service daily might well
Ihs punctuated by a few moments on the bits
of board, pushed in between boxes, which do
duty for seats, and bo glad that an oppor
tunity had been improved.
Not so tho wife of tho prosperous butcher
or baker or candlestick maker, rejoicing, it
may be, in tho first appearance in plush aud
6ilk, and bent upon making it as impressive
as possible. To her obsequiousness is tho first
essential of any dealing with tho order from
which she is emerging; and her custom will
go to the shop where it3 outward tkens are
most profuse. A clerk found sitting is simply
embodied impertinence, and the floor man
ager who allows it an offender against every
law of propriety; and thus it happens that
seats aro slipped out of sight, and exhausted
women smile and ask, as the purchase is
made, "And what is the next pleasure?" in a
tone that makes tho American hearer cringe
for the abject humility that is the first con
dition of success as seller. Helen Campbell

A Rrlef Summer Vacation.
A most curious method of spending the
summer out of town, and at the same time
preserving the comforts of home and avoid
ing the bitter necessity of rising to catch an
early train, has been perfected by several
young men who live in chambers and can't
afford to be away from their business. For
the most part office work in this season is
finished by 4 o'clock, and this level beaded
young man seizes his hat, catches the boat
for Staten Island, the train for Coney Island
or some like method of conveyance, to some
easily accessible resort, and by 5 o'clock is in
the surf washing away the heat and annoy
ances of the day, bracing up his system on
tennis, or seeking less active joys i boating.
He dines leisurely at 7, smokes his cigar be
neath the stars, possibly carries on a gentle
summer flirtation till 11, when he takes the
train back to the city, and by 12 is fast asleep
in his own comfortable phanbors, his dreams
unruffled by any thought of hurried break
fast or a scramble for the cars.
In effect, he has something over six hours
in the country every day, with time to do a
bit of athletics, become cooled and rested,
mentally and physically refreshed, and 3 et.
sacrifices none of his home comfort and saves
himself the fatigue and vexation of a matuti
nal struggle with time. He generally has a
room of his own at his country resort, and
keeps his tennis and boating togs there, his
books and his banjo, and creates a semi-home
atmosphere, where he can lounge at his ease,
if his soul doth not move him to more sin
ewy occupation. Indeed, what the New York
young man of this enlightened age does not
know of the art of living and getting the
best out of his span is scarcely worth teach
him. Brooklyn Eagle.

you will remember a few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively un
known, today it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
