INTE RESTING To TEA.OR INKBRS.

1t has been absolutely asserted that
in many cases tea is not tea, but some
thing furnished up to look and taste
like tea; the prices charged for it being
little better than picking the pocket.
To make sure as you imagine, against
imposture, you 90 to the length of buy
ing q chest. There it stands, very
honest looking chest, studded over with
Chinese characters, and you are almost
certain that it has not been tampered
with. Quite true. The chest is just is
it came from China. But there are
wheels in wheels. This honest looking
chest is sham. 1t was packed with
rubbish in China; for the Chinese are
as dexterous in cheating and the art of
turning the penny as anybody on the
face of the earth. To their adulterated
compounds they candidly give the name
of i;t tea. We learn on good authority
that this Article, which is in all respects
lie, is an ingenious composition of the
dust of tea leaves, foreign leaves, sand.
quartz, and magnetic oxide of iron, all
skillfully united by solution of starch
into little masses of various forms and
sizes, in imitation of different kinds of
tea. Here we are called on to use the
new verb "to face.' To make rubbish
look like tea of some particular kind, it
is faced, or disguised in some kind of
appropriate coating. Those teas, for
example, which are made to initiate
Caper at Shulan are coated with plum
bago or black-lead; and if gunpowder,
with Prussian blue, tumeric, china
clay, and other white mineral powders!
So clever are the Chinese in manufac-
turing this lie tea, that t requires skill
and practice to detect it. These ini-
quitous adulterations are chiefly, if not
altogether, found in low.priced and
much broken tea, or in the lower quail
ties of black and green gunpowder.
What was thought to be adulteration by
iron filings, is found to be the mag
netic oxide of iron derived from the
soil, which finds its way into the tea
from the dust on the leaves. The
amusing reason the Chinese give for the
dyeing theil tea is this: That as for
eigners seem to prefer having mixture
of Prussian blue and gypsum with their
tea, to make it look uniform and pretty
these being the article used for that
purpose-and as these ingredients are
very cheap, they have no objection to
supply them, especially as such teas al
ways fetch high price!' They, how
ever, take good care never to dye or
face any tea they drink themselves

The F1FTEEN-YoUNG LADY PROBLEM. -
The London Mathematical Society
lately occupied itself with discussion
of the following problem. In a school
of fifteen girls rule has been laid down
that they shall walk out every day in
rows of threes, but that the same two
girls shall never come out twice in the
same row." The rule is supposed to
have been carried out correctly during
the six working days of the week, but
when Sunday comes it is found impos-
sible to send the girls to church without
breaking the rule. This problem was
announced more than a quarter of a
century ago. and has engaged the atten-
ton of distinguished mathematicians,
for the reason that its solution involves
the use of mathematical synthesis.
Prof. Sylvester's paper, in which the
subject was discussed, was on "the fif-
teen young ladies problem and gener.
al mathematical theory of pure syntax.' y

LEARN TO R1DE.-The Brooklyn Union
has word to say to the young men who
ara able to take morning ride on
horseback, and as it is sensible and
likely to suit this latitude as we'll as
Brooklyn, we reproduce it, with re-
commendation that it be read and acted
on: Young man We saw you coming
in from your park ride this morning,
and must say we regretted we bad not
on us at the time the Bergh badge which
we wear on our Sunday coat. The art
equestrian has our admiration. If
there be place for king it is on the
back of an elastic, fiery steed. There
should be more of it. as practice among
American youth. Up with the lark, or
rather with the sparrows, and away for
all hours gallop. But, young man,
you rode villanously, cruelty. Your
horse was we'll enough, your riding suit
excellent, and the praise pauses. You
rode on the bit. Your horse, with nose
in the air and mouth held awry by the
sheer torture you inflicted, was made to
resound to every rise and fall of yours
in the saddle. Try it yourself and see
how you would like it. 1t would have
been cruel had it not been stupid. Get
thee BY practice o saddle seat which
shall not need to be steadied by o pur-
chase on horses jaw. Out with your
feet from the stirrups awhile, and ride
by the knees until you can carry half
dollar between your knee and the sad
die flap. Ride with your rein in knot
at the saddle bow. Take off the girtbs
of your saddle and practice with brim-
ming glass of water in your hand.
Learn to ride, young man; don't leave
the whole art to Comanches and stable
boys. But if we see you again in Brook
lyn streets held fast in your seat by
your horses mouth, the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals shall
have an extra session on your case"
