THE EVIL EFFECTS OF TEA DRINKING.
The Dean of Bangor, speaking at a meeting held to further the establishment 6f courses of instruction in practical cookery in the elementary schools, said that if he had his own way there would be much less tea drinking among people of all classes. Oatmeal and milk produced strong, hearty, good-tempered men and women ; whereas excessive tea drinking created a generation of nervous people who were for ever complaining of the existing order of the universe, scolding their neighbours, and sighing after the impossible. Good cooking would he firmly believed, enable them to take far higher and more correct views of existence. In fact, he suspected that over much tea drinking, by destroying the calmness of the nerves, was acting as a dangerous revolutionary force among us. Tea drinking renewed three or four times a day made men and women feel we»fc, and the result was that the tea kettle went before the gin bottle, and the phj'sical and nervous, weakness that had its origin in the bad cookery of an ignorant wife ended in ruin, intemperance, and disease.
