There is a ah out these relics of an almost unknown country that will add greatly to their intrinsic value. Leopards in metal, with curious work suggestive of primitive Damascene manipulation, one or two idols also in metal a bell used to warn the common herd that the king was in the neighborhood and it behooved all men to abase themselves, and, in addition thereto, three or four roomsfull of enormous tusks carve all over with skill and uniform ity, such were the relics. Some of these ivory treasures weigh as much as 150 pounds, and rejoice in a vicious curve and tapering point highly suggestive of danger to those who meet one of the native wearers in aggressive mood. However, the wily men of Benin have been too much for the guileless elephants, Great Britain has been too much for Benin, and now the trophies that delighted the un taught African mind have been parceled off and sold in a brokers office. This sale has led a British philosopher to express himself as follows Why do the foreign nations strive It CONVICT SH1F. uuse from Ode&ta is I land of baghaliu The si.hing of a Russian convict shii frort CiU-- sa for the Island of Saghalin, in the Japan Sea, is always an impres- sive sighi. The motley cru'wd, indige-- j nous to kll countries, is of course present, but there are in addition many government officials, .full of importance in their emblazoned uniforms, and more numerous members of the clergy attending to perform the ceremony of sprinkling the ship with holy water, and to give the inmates a parting blessing and a godspeed. Nothing is done in Russia without the help of priests, and a Russian is bathed in holy water from the cradle to the grave. The religious ceremony over, ft is with a cargo of heavy hearts that the convict ship usually built at Glasgow, by the way weighs anchor and departs, for even a hardened convict would prefer serving his sentence on his native soil to dragging out his existence in a foreign land. But, however that may be, the accommodation for the thousand or more convicts on board ia ample and the arrangements g for their complete. The food provided is good and wholesome, and it is not an infrequent thing for people in the saloon the convict ship carries ordinary passengers as well as state prisoners to ask for convict soup and rye bread All the convicts are in fetters, wrist and ankle bracelets, with a connecting d chain. These and their heads present a most hideous appearance. The daily routine on board is unvarying therefore, to change the monotony, the prisoners have resort to all kinds of devices to make the time pass away as pleasantly as the circumstances will a'low. Most lower class Russians are born card players, so the convicts collect all the odd scraps of paper they can lay their hands on. Clubs and spades are roughly scribbled on these slips with the ink supplied for letter writing purposes, while to provide hearts and diamonds ol the requisite color one or more of the company consents to have a vein opened. This delicate operation is performed with the aid of the tin spout cf a tea can, ground to a sharp edge on the iron deck. This improvised lancet also does duty as a razor, serving to remove the remaining hair from the head of some devout follower of Islam. The stakes of the card players are knobs of sugar, saved by rigorous economy at the tea table. When these fa' I, hones and odds and ends are substituted. On thn fifteenth day at sea the fetters are removed. This is, indeed, a day of rejoicing, and the most hardened ciim-ingives vent to a sigh of relief at being released from these hateful emblems of bondage. The coveted freedom is not, however, of long duration. A poor, inoffensive Crieman Tartar accidentally treads on the foot of a regular cut throat villain, to be sezed immediately by the throat. The cry is instantly raised that the Mohammedans are killing the Christians. A general melee ensues, in which racial hatred is given full play. The guard is called out, and, turning on the hot water hose pipes, which are kept rea.ly for any emergency, soon cows the combatants. The ringleader is placed in irons and put on dry bread and water for fourteen days. The Tartar is carried more dead than alive to the hospivtl, and the rest, guilty and innocent u!ike.are kept in chains and shackles icr the rest of the voyage. From the Iiondon Mail.

Several months ago, the Japanese Tea Guild seut to this country a special commission. composed of Mr. S. president of Shizuoka Prefec-tur- al Assembly, and Mr. J. Ohara.mem-be- r of Japanese parliament, to investigate the condition of the Japanese tea trade in the United States aud Canada, and to with Mr. T. Furuja and Mr. T. Mizujany, the American representatives of the Japanese Tea Guild, in giving publicity to the merits of Japanese teas aud the method of preparing them for drinking which would insure the best results. Mr. Furuya and Mr. Mizutauy are planning to open tea bazars in many of the principal cities in the United Slates and Canada, where ladies can enjoy a cup of fine Japanese tea made by experts, and at the same time receive instructions which will enable them to make it equally well at homo. More than half the tea consumed In the United States and Canada is of Japanese growth, yet, the majority of Americans apparently do not understand how to prepare it so as to develop the delicious qualities which it contains. It Is believed by these gentlemen that when Americans are in possession of the secret of making good tea, th consumption in this country will fully equal that of Europe iu proportion. The Japanese government has appropriated a large fund to aid the Japanese tea growers and tea merchants In prosecuting this educational vork, and it is hoped that American ladies will be apt stud, ts The main bureau of the Japanese Tea Guild has issued an official recipe for m iking Japanese tea, the translation of which is as follows: First Use a small, dry end thoroughly clean porcelaiu teapot. Second Put in one teaspoonful of tea leaves for each cup of tea desired. Third When using Japanese teas, pour on the required quantity of fresh boiled water, and let stand with closed lid from 2 to 3 minutes. Never boll the leaves. In order to retain the natural flavor, Japanese tea leaves should be kept in tight can or jar, free from moisture. Note. To thoroughly enjoy the natural, delicate, and sweet flavor of Japanese teas, neither sugar nor cream should be used. i Zion's Savings Bank and Trait Company of Nos. 1, 3 and 5 Main street.
