TEA SwINDLEs.-Appleton's Jour.
nal makes the following charge
against certain New York tea hous.
es.
Within few years, large num-
Der of tea companies have sprung
up in the city, which claim to i'm
port direct from China, to furnish a
superior article at reduced rates,
and which advertise largly all over
the country. One street is fairly
lined for a considerable distance with
them. We are assured by those
claiming to know, that several OF
these tea establishments are organ
ised frauds upon the people, that
they use the leaves of the Camelia,
which so close resemble genuine tea
that they are frequently mistaken
for them by botanists that they are
largely importing and palm off upon
purchasers Chinese " lie tea )" that
they use the leaves of ash, plum, and
other trees, and mingle them with
good tea and furthermore, that
they fe>dry and color genuine tes
leaves that have once been used, oil
have been damaged by water, etc
There is one of these companies
which, we are told, does nothing
else but purchase damaged cargoes
or chests of tea and then dries it OF
the roofs of certain buildings not I
thousand miles from where we arr
now sitting. The drying process
having been completed, a small
quantity of a superior article is add
ed to the damaged in order to Civ
flavor and it is then done up il
packages for distribution all owe
the country. Those who are accus
toned to patronize these tea estab
| lshments would certainly do we
to analyze and test the quality c
the article which is dispensed t
them.

CALIFORNIA WINE.-The wine and

an average of 60O,0OO,OOO gallons
yearly of wine and spirits, worth
about 100000, 000' at the place of
production: About one third of this
product is exported, representing a
value Of from 100000 900 to $780,
100000. 1t is quite probable that
the wine product OF California, inside
of ten years, will equal in value the
present gold product (say s2O,00O,>

the State is thickly populated, to a
yearly value of $4,000, 900 or &c.

GRAPTrNa WAx.-A subscriber wishes
70 know the best method OF making graft
ing wax. As there are variety of opin-
ions as to what is the best kind to use, we
will give several recipes which are recon-
mended by good authorities Baker says:
Take one part tallow, one part beeswax,
and two parts resin. The tallow and bees
wax should be melted first, then the resin
and the whole poured together and well
stirred. After it is well mixed, it is poured
in small quantities into tub Of cold water
and worked like molasses candy. No more
should be poured into the water at time
than can be worked at once as it will cool
very quickly and require to be melted again
1t should be carried in a pot of hot water
and the hand of the operator should be
smeare6 with some oily substance. For
some of the smaller gratis, use waxed paper
For this purpose strips Of paper are hoated
in the melted wax for a moment, so as to
only moisten one side, and then be permit
ted to cool
Thomas gives this: "Linseed OIL one
pint; resins pounds: beeswax, one pound
