. Drinking Tea in the the Worl \ * ^: .I* - * MRS. DANIEL MANNING. FRESIE MANAGERS, IN ' ^7i Tea Ceremony at the Japanese Reservation. Q?O?Q?+3*By t>he Countess de Montaigu. The "tea ceremony" Is a unique and highly ceremonious function only to be seen in the houses of aristocratic personages. . It is a survival of the courtly etiquette of old Japan, and is still practiced. Even at the public tea bouses in Japan it is unknown, except to the favored few, being too elaborate and expensive for an everyday thing. The Tokio Tea Palace, at the World's Fair, the Governmental institution for the exploitation of the products of Tapan, Is presided over by Mr. K. Sano, i renowned authority on tea, and also l well-known antiquarian. Mr. Sano has in his employ a young lady from Tokio, who has a school for young Adles in that city. Here the daughters of wealthy and high born personages" are instructed in the intricacies 5f the "tea ceremony," for the daughter of the house usually acts as hostess on such occasions. The etiquette of Japan is as severe is that of the court of Spain and even nore so. Prompted by curiosity I requested to be Initiated into the mysteries of his pretty ceremony. On entering an innnr room ih the tea house I found lire rather flat cushions placed in a Jemicircle in the middle of the floor. According to immemorial usage, the juests must not exceed five. Miss Mine Abe, the Tokio young lady, was ilrer.dy kneeling before the lacquered :ea table, looking like an animated Fapanese doll. Each guest on entering ;ank down on her knees upon a cushon, saluting the hostess by spreading tier hands flat on the floor in front jf her and bowing almost to the ground, Miss Abe returning the salutation. The guest of honor was alotted the first seat, and to the one who j irrived- last was delegated the serving >f the tea. The position to an American is most trying, as all throughout the cere- j nony, which occupies at least an hour, he guests are, as it were, kneeling ind resting on their heels. One cannot I lelp wondering whether the Japanese tnatomy Is not diFerent from ours, as :o them this attitude seems entirely jatural. Miss Abe was attired In the picturesque garb of her native land.

When all of the utensils were in a state of immaculate cleanliness the hostess proceeded to make the tea. From a vase of costly cloisonne she extracted a fine greenish powder, throwing two teaspoonsfui in+rt th? hmvi rpnosinsr on the floor be side her; lifting the lid of the spoutless kettle, she peered into its depths in order to see if the water was bubbling. Then with a peculiar and studied movement of the hands she took a ladle full of the water and poured it on the tea powder, whisking it briskly with a little bamboo implement much resembling an egg beater; when a froth as light as sea foam rises to the top the beverage is ready. The last guest wriggled from her seat, traversing the distance which separated her from the tea table upon her knees and without rising offered the fragrant liquid to the guest of honor, the bowl resting upon a scarlet fushama. It is etiquette for the person served to receive the howl, holding it daintily with the right hand clasped about it, 'the bottom resting in the palm of the left hand. She would stamp herself as unlearned in the code of manners did she sip her tea as we Western barbarians ore wont to do. It must be swallowed in exactly three gtilps and a half, then the spot touching the lips should be wiped with a fushama which is returned to the breast of (he kimono, and the bowl carcfully set down in front of her. But one person is served at a time, which accounts for the length of the "tea ceremony," the saino minute ceremonial with not the slightest variation of gesture being omitted, being repeated each time. With the tea dainty and crisp little rice cakes are eaten. Everything is set upon the floor, the tea bowl and the paper napkin which holds the cakes. TOBOGGAN PLANE.

' 'A SERMON FOR SUNDAY I" ! ! co ! | to AN ELOQUENT DISCOURSE ENTITLED ^ 'THE VALUE OF OBEDIENCE." G< J*reaf!l?e<l by the Itev. Joseph Dunn Burrell, of Brooklyn, N". Y.?The "Way to w; j Power Shown hy Convincing Ar^u- JJ ments?Christ Our Great Pattern. oil PU BnoOKi.vx, X. Y.?In the Classon Ave; jiiue Presbyterian Church the pastor, the f0 Ttev. Joseph Dunn Burrell, preached Sun- p] i >day morning on "The Value of Obedience." Wi (Tlie text was from Philippians, ii:8, 9: wi ."He humbled Himself and became obc- th dient unto death, even the death of the ]K cross. Wherefore God also hath highly j exalted Iiim and given Him a name which d( i is above every name." Mr. Burrell said: j From this passage we learn that, through j obedience, our Lord Jesus Christ attained 1 His surpassing glory. He won His exaitaj tion not by exploiting His own will, but by to submitting to the will of God. at ; On this point He is representative of hu- 'j'l inanity. For all men everywhere to obey dj is the way to rule. "Whosoever will be chief among you, Jet him be your servant." m Obedience thus becomes a most essential gC ' part of education, whether in the home or H the school. There is something disreputa- th ble about the household where the children j do not mind, or the lecture hall, where the ev I instructor has no control. It is a healthy J1( j discipline for us to have to submit our wiii di j to another's. Such is the Biblical coneep- jn j tion of home training. Such was the tli ' method of Christ's bringing up. 'f Professor Huxley had great influence upon current ideas of education and, per- n( | haps, the most eloquent words he ever us j wrote were those in which he set forth ai this idea, that the gist of education is to di learn how to obey. "That man," he says, i "has had a liberal education, who has been },. so trained in youth that his body is the h, ready servant of his will, ami does with te ease and pleasure all the work that, as a | mechanism, it is capable of, whose intellect fr i is a clear, cold, logic engine, with all its I parts of equal strength, and in smooth f0 \ working order: ready, like a steam engine, ],j | to be turned to any kind of work, and spin the gossamers, as well as forge the anchors j of the mind; whose mind is stored with a ni J knowledge of the great and fundamental bI truths of nature and of the laws of her op- js ; erations: one who, no stunted ascetic, is ! full of life and fire, but whose passions are a? | trained to come to heel by a vigorous will. I the servant of a tender conscience; who u? j has learned to love all beauty, whether of sj I nature or of art, to hate all vileness, and j to respect others as himself. Such an one w | and no other. I conceive, has had a liberal j I education, for he is, as completely as a (j, j man can be. in harmony with nature. He fa I will make the best of her, and she of him. a I They will get on together rarely; she as j | bis ever-beneficent mother; he as her j mouthpiece, her conscious self, her minis- C! ter and interpreter." h | i But it is not enough to learn obediencc j, theoretically in one period of education; we must perpetuate it as a habit all through ?. I ,'anr-c fnr ic nnlv MMV to SUCCCSS | in life. Obedience is not for its own sake, J but in order that through it we may come ^ I to be our best selves. We accept law as S( the predetermined condition of life, surrender ourselves to it, and by yielding win n true liberty. ]e Agesilaus of Sparta knew how to govern r< because he had first learned how to obey, I according to the old saying. The present o; | Emperor of Germany and King of Italy, 1 { brilliant examples of successful monarchs, , i 'were trained with a severity that some of h j our boys would think cruel. There was s< i once a hard worked employe of the New G York street car system; he is now its head, o: ] There was once a private soldier who had t< ( j to submit to all the narrow restrictions of Ji I the moit subordinate rank in the army; he gj is now our commander in the Philippines. o : We take away harmful things from our n children that later on they may know w enough to deprive themselves o* them. They 1 are made to take care of their bodies that jt they may keep the laws of health when })( they need it for life's work. They are (,| . given good books to read that they may b prefer such when they are free to read n what thev will. They are shielded from t< bad associations and thrown into the com, pany of clean, true, honorable boys and girls so that when they are out in the a, world fighting their own battles they may ), choose the friendship of the good and shun t,( that of the base. ! Some parents are afraid to have their f; children arrive at the age of self control, q Yet what is the good of education. "The ti aim of your discipline," said Herbert p Spencer, "shouid be to produce a self-gov I crning ueiug; nut tu (Mimuw *?, ?v | governed by others." It is a joy to have obedient children, but ifc ought to be a preater joy when they are become true- 0 . j Jiearted men and women, r.nd are out in c: the world carrying on the business of life. | Then the object of education is secured ! and the condition of success is satisfied. j-( On the other hand, moral failure is due j to not having learned how to obey, and so u ! not knowing how to rule. j I When a girl says to herself, '*When I a" I have a home of my own you will see how u | differently I shall do things." "When a boy t( | think?, '"Just wait until I am twenty-one gj i and I will see life for myself;" you may j know that the seed of the Dead Sea fruit j.j j is already sown. n, ' 1. A woman whose family were in want was w > j given .$25 by a friend. Instead cf purchas- s( , I i.ig necessities with this providential pros- d ' ; cnt she used it in having the photographs \\ 1 ef the entire household taker.. There was r< [ j r.n example of one who did not deserve to n J be grown up. She did not know how to ai ! control her own life. She had never j\ j learned that the only way to live worthily tl . ' is to obey the great principles of duty. She ; ! merely followed her whims. ( i I heard this summer of a young man who j n year ago was flying around Long Island ! in his automobile, dazzling the natives with ci | his reckless expenditure of a newly ae- ol | quired fortune. To-day he is said to be fi ! clerking in a store. lie did not know how tl ( to be rich; he had not learned self-control, tl I Quite rightly he has been set back again in 01 | his proper place. w | Oscar Wilde was a young scholar of ex- d | traordinary brilliance. His essay on "The r< t Dccay of Lying,"-for example, was marvel I JCUSiy suggestive, uuc ne never learneu u I to obey, to control himself, to love the sj j light; on the contrary, by following his h j own will and seeking pleasure without re- h , gard to duty he nade of himself a social 11 | outcast and died a beggar's death in Paris, tl i It makes no difference what ability, posi- ir ' tion or opportunity one has, if he does not II \ know how to obey lie is on the road to ruin, ir j Moreover, this condition of obedience is b! j the permanent law of life. Neither in this ! nor any other world is it abolished. The i mother warns her bauy not to touch the | stove. The little one disobeys and is I burned, lie grows to be a man. He j emerges from his mother's control. No one advises him now to keep away from | the stove. He can put his finger on it if lie will. But if he does he will be burned | again. I So it is in the moral life. As children we were restricted by others from wrong ; ! doing, and if we persisted in seeking to aej complish it we suffered. Now we are grown I and no one hinders us. We can sin if we I choose. But if we do we shall have to bear 1 the consequences now as then. The choice given us is not whether we I shall be under God's law or not, but only lT1 j whether we shall obey them or not, in j either case receiving the results of our do- -v< I cision. For "whatsoever a man soweth, !'! i that shall he also reap." j The man who abandons himself to the in- _ i dulgence of appetite, violating the laws of ?SJ | nature, shortens his life. His indulgence j defeats itself. While he obeys God's laws i finds them his servants, ministers of health, prosperity and usefulness. Nor is this state of things different in in heaven. There it ie said "His servants b; shall serve Him." There the law of God ai is perfectly fulfilled. There the heavenly w host sing forever, according to Dante's m dream, p< "In His will is our delight." ? So forever and forever obedience remains the law of life. William Tyndale, who translated the Bible into English, wrote a book entitled v: '"The Obedience of a Christian Man." The es gist of it is this: That, the Bible reveals u; the way of sanation through Jesus Christ, 01 and also the way in which a saved man ?a ought to live. Few books have had a wider influence. One martyr at least is known to have gone to the slake carrying a copy cf it in his hand. For it appealed to the con- jf science of man, it showed Christian believ. bl i s (liat the salvation of Christ, instead of leasing front moral obligations, is on the ntrary. precisely an enduement of power c perforin it. Instead of abolishing the I iv Christ fulfills it, and if there is any I 11 c in the world who ought to be the shin- I i K exainplar of obedience to the will of I f >d, it is the Christian man. # I Christ Himself is our great pattern in J is regard. He was an obedient Son. It | n js His meat and drink. He said, to do j \ is Father's will. But He is more than j ir pattern. lie is our Saviour, nd as j ch enables us to reproduce the pattern, i '' e presents an ideal and also the dynamic 1 r its realization. This is why there is a j ? ace for Him in every heart. This is why i <( s all need Him. If we live in fellowship i itli Christ, trusting Him in utter faith, ; a e law of God instead of being something istile to our spirit is otir very life, and s come to be able to sav with Him, "I rk,. ?.;n n mv (iod." I f lie Keliglon That One Faithful. j ( The railway (superintendent came down | t his office on Monday morning, sat down his desk and began to open his mail. { be first letter was from the wife of a t scharged conductor, which said: ?

"I knew you would come," he said, ' and ] must be frank and say that I < lould have thought more of you had you i ayed at home and helped your wife with :e housework, instead of going to efuirch . ) that she could write me about it."

The superintendent shook his head sad- , '.

A professor in the French Medical Academy advocates painless death tor incurable victims. The Paris corespondent for the Chicago Tribune ;ays: "Dr. Guermonprez, professor ?f the medical faculty in Lille, is about o publish an elaborate work entitled Medical Death and Protection For luman Life.' The book, an elaborate' vork, will advocate an international inderstanding between physicians and inthorities, allowing the first to help )ersons stricken with incurable disease to make an end of their pains and >f themselves. "In excuse of this demand, the pro'essor cites a law proposed during the French Revolution, of which the conrent did or did not approve. It provided that 'virtuous and feeling eiti:ens should be allowed to give incurajles a quick but painless death.' The >rofessor thinks the convent passed he law, yet it was never but into cxe:utiou. In 1903 the First Chamber of the Kingdom of Saxony denied a petition :o the same efTect, namely, that physicians should be allowed to kill patents if the latter asked them to do >o in wriyng.

There is working in the University Tokio, in Japan, a quiet little man, ivlio, if he is almost ignored outside [lis own country, is fully recognized in Japan as a national benefactor, fhis man is Professor Shimose, inventor of the new Shimose powder, the most powerful explosive known. The secret of its composition Is rigidly guarded. Though there is no secret as to its terrific power, no foreigner knew anything about it before the present svar began. This powder forms the bursting charge of the Japanese army ind navy shell. The armor piercing ?hell is rent into thousands, of small fragments, which are hurled through the air with such force that they tear through the sides of an iron ship. A shell bursting with a charge of guncotton Is broken into very few pieces, jut the Shimose explosive scatters the projectile into 3000 or more fragments, which are driven in every direction ivith equal force, the result Icing, as me expert says, that "nothing in the ficinity can live."
