Da Sylvester P. Boofel was mazing an
address at the cotofeenoement exercises
of the Ohio tiniversity, of which he is
the president. The big - grmoasixim
where the exercises -. were held was
packed io the doors and the air was hot
and stifling. The audience had listened
tr codetta orators until it was surfeited.
.Everybody was warm and tired and
waiting to make a dash for. the open air
at the first opportunity. The orator be
gan.. He sketched the bistory of the in
stitution; he spoke of its many needs;
be dwelt upon its success and predicted
for it a brilliant future. . He spoke of
the trustees in terms of praise; he com,-
mended the faculty; ha complimented
the students, and tears glistened in his
eyes as he- told of the generosity and
kindly interest of the dear public
Over an hour went by. ' The corners
of the hall grew dark, and the rays of
the setting sun flashed npon the win
dows. The young graduates fidgeted in
their chairs, and the audience ' looked
longingly toward the door. All at once
the speaker1 stopped, murmured a brief
sentence wheeled around and resumed
his seat. A little white haired woman
in the rear of the hall had waved her ear
trumpet, pressed her linger to her lips
and.,, the fires' of his- oratory were
quenched. .She was the venerable moth
er of the president, ! and ' she exacted
from her son the same obedience which
be gave "her in his youth.
"That's my son Sylvester, .she was
heard to say as the hall was slowly
cleared. "That failing of his has been a
great trial to me. My son Sylvester, he
talks too much." New York Trunin

This state of things is due to the fact that

China and Japan to ship them their cheapest

wealthy classes of China and Japan and the
exacting and cultivated tea-drinkers of
Europe, the finer teas find a ready market.
-The balance of the crop comes to America.
