they are most fond is brought overland
from some OF the western or interior prov
inees of China. II Is very dear, costing
from SlO to sl2 per pound in China As a
general rule black teas are preferred. They
sometimes use kind Of yellow tea, which
sells from ten to fifteen dollars pound in
Russia, which has so frighiful an effect upon
persons nerves that the strongest green tea
in American market is a sedative compare d
TO it. Tea has been imported into the
United States, of quality which could not
be sold in New Yory short Of 1910 per ID by
the chest. Although the Russians, at least
the wealthy. drink very high priced teas
they nevertheless drink it very weak. Az
ter the pouring of. they continue to add hot
water. to the teapot until the flavor of the
lemon, slice of which is placed there when
the tea is introduced, predominates over the
tea. The tea used by the middle Glasses
costs about So per pound, a still cheaper
quality is used by many.

says it, I'VE have been in the habit Of re,

do not quite comprehend the process by
which he escaped from the force OF that rife

And busiIy all the night

And the poorest twig on the elm tree
Was fringed inch deep with pearl.

Aud still fiuttrred down the snow

The noiseless work Of the sky.
And the sudden hurrics of snow Lirds,
Like brown leaves Whirling by.

Where little head-stone stood.
How the fakes were folding it gently.
As did robins the babes in the wood.
Up I;.oke our own little Mabel.
Saying. Father. Who mak-s it SNOWY"
And told her of the good All-father,
Who cares for us all below.
Again locked at the snowfall,
And thought of the leaden sky
That arehed o'er our first great sorrUw,
When the mound ~as heaped SO high
l remember the gradual patience
That fell from that eloud-like snow,
Flake by fake. healing and hiI,ling
The scar Of that deep-stabbed woe.
And again to the child whisrerrd
