TEA AS A NUTRITIvE SUBSTANCE

Chambers Edinburgh Journal gives the fol-
lowing IN relation TO the principles OF the
Chinese herb:
Al recent meeting of the Paris Academy
"i Science, M. Peligot read a paper on the
chemical combinations of tea M PeIigot
states That Tea contains essential principles of
nutrition lar exceeding in importance its slim
niating properties, and shows that, as stimu-
'ah', Tea is III every respect the most desirable
oo)ect OF habtual use. One of his expert
inehts upon the nntritive qualities OF tea, as
compared with those of soup, was by M
means IN favor of the latter. The most re.
markabie products of lea are; lst the taunin
or astrIngenl property; Cd, an essential oil 10
winch IL owes It's aroma, and which has n
great influence on its price i'm commerce. and
81, substance rich III azote, and chrystall,z.
able, called theme, which is also met in cofIao
and is frequently called caf inc Independ.
entiy OF these three substances, there are
| eleven Others of less importance, which enter
more or less Into the composition of tea of
all the kinds imported into Europe. What
was more essential, as regards the chemical
ana hysienlc character of the plant, was to
ascertain the exac. proportion of the azo,ed
(n'lrogenized) principle it contains. M.Pe-
ligot began by determining the total amour,
OF azole In tea, and finished by finding that it was
from 20 10 30 per cent. greater than in any other
KIND of vegetables. NJ. PeIigot states that bv
reason Of this quantity of azote, and the ey-
iStencc OF ca!elne in the tea leaf. it is true

the owner Of the ground upon which they were
located for the sum Of $500. She appeared to be
in great mental agony until the papers. making
the conveyance, were prepared by the Alderman,
and only after this effected did she seem to
regain any thing Ike composure.
Within the past week. during the meetings at
the Julianna street church, several individuals
have yielded TO the force of tho lectures, and put
their property at the disposal of tho church.
Ono person, calculating his of this world >
riches, handed $50; another presented. for
the disposition Of tho society, the sum Of Sl6O;
Of this, 500 were given to of tho brothers,
who stated that he about that amount minus,
and the remaining 500 was placed in the com
mon treasury, Tho lecturer Yesterday, most
earnestly en- oinod upon a II to bring their worldly
wealth and sacrifice il upon the altar of the Lord.
He stated that he had done SO. He rccommen-
dcd that all debts owing to them upon notes should
be cancelled by on endorsement to that effect,
and stated that he had done ii in matter of debt
to the amount Of 500.
