TEL TRADE SECRETS.

The New York Sun says: In "a tea suit
before Judge Larremore. it was shown
that the tea merchants employ "tea
tasteIs" to make purchases that in the
export of teas from China the external
marks on the packages are merely fancy,
to attract the eye. as the custom of the
market here may be, aud that often they
mark on the outside better than the tea
really Is. 1t by 10 means describes ac-
curatelv the quality or grade of the tea
contained in the box, as, for instance, the
tea marked on the outside. g English
Brcakiao Tea Such Il name is not
known in reality IN The trade, and such
a tea as that, as Il tea, does not exist; it
is either Congou or Souchong, or some
such class OF tea The American taste
for teas, twas said, differs entirely from
that of the English, and Japan teas are
much more in favor here than in Eng
land. Teas are known and dealt in in
China by "chop" names; thus, Il chop
of Foochow, Moyune, or Fychow will
each contain various kinds of lea, such
as those named here: Imperial, Young
Hyson, Gunpowder and Twankey.
Among the "chop" names are: Foo
Hing, Suly Hing. Qui Fun, Pun Fong.
Ee Long, and Fling Tai, the last named
being the most celebrated of the green
teas A cargo of tea costing on board
ship in China S35, 900, has cost $4,000
on arrival here, and then yielded a net
profit of 1913 900 by the cargo.

81 PLEAD GUILTY. The San Antonio
Herald says; The custom of appointing
young lawyers to defend pauper crimi-
nails received a back-set the other day in
our district court. His honor, Judge
Noonan, had appointed two young law
yers to defend an old and experienced
horsc-thicf After inspecting his counsel
for some time in silence, the prisoner rose
in his place and addressed the bench :
"Air them to defend me ?" Yes, sir"
said his honor "Both of them ?" in
quired the prisoner. Both of them,
responded the judge. "Then | plead
guilty" And the poor devil took his
seat and sighed heavily.
