the fifty million pounds Of tea annually
CONSUMED in this country might essily be
grown on the spo, without percsptibly in
terfering with present garden products or
household industries.
TIE recent rapid extension Of ea-grow-
ing in Japan, Java, British India and
elsewhere 10 evidence that there is moth
ing in Chinese soil, climate or industrial
conditions to secure to that country the
monopoly of tea-Rrowing. In Japan tea
is cultivated as far north as the seth par
allel, the most favorable region lying be-
tween the parallels of 80 deg. and IS
deg. north latitude; while the cultivation
is most successful between the 21st and
83d parallels, though the plant thrives
almost anywhere up to the 45th deg.
north latitude. The Japanese crop has
nearly trebled during the past twelve
or fifteen years, and large areas Of
newly planted shrubs are rapidly coming
into bearing.
Next in rank as tea producing coun.
try il Java. Since 1860 the industry has
advanced 90 rapidly that the annual crop
10 now about half that of Japan. The
plantations are most successful on the
mountain slopes from three to five thou
sand feet above the sea; and the crop is
said to pay better than coffee. Tea-grow-
ing has also been begun lately in the
British Straits Settlements, with pronis-
ing results.
The most rapid recent development of
the industry, however, has occurred in
British India, particularly in Assam. The
first sample of Assam tea was sent to
market in 1S43; now there are upwards
of 100000 acres of tea plantations In
Assam, yielding nineteen or twenty million
pounds year. In Bengal, Madras, the
northwest provinces, and the Pupjab, the
industry is rapidly spreading and the
prospect good. The crop of 1855 was
estimated at 100000 pounds-thus
giving India the lead of Japan. The
most of the India tea goes to England,
where it is much liked.
In Ceylon, also, tea culture has ad-
vanced very rapidly of late. In Brazil it
has been grown successfully in several
provinces; but for home consumption
Paraguay is preferred, and for export
coffee growing is more profitable. Tea
growing is also advancing in Tonkin,
Cochin China, Malacca, the Corea, and
several OF the islands of the Indian Ocean,
formerly devoted to coffee; and efforts
are making to introduce it into Australia
and Jamaica. France, Spain, Portugal,
Algeria, Italy, Turkey and the Crimes,
all have climates suitable for tea growing;
and the same may be said of Tasmania,
New Zealand, Mexico, and Central Amer

SHAKsPERIAN BEDROOMs.-Olive L0-
gsu, writing to the Graphic from STRAIT
ford upon Avon, treats Of Q topic not
worn quite threadbare: One Of the
most peculiar, apt, and quaint de-
vices Of the Shakespearesn Inn is
the labelling Of the rooms with the name
of Shakespeare plays, instead Of desig-
mating them in the usual arid and com
monpiace way by letters or numbers. A
god deal Of ingenuity has been exercised
in the selection Of these titles. and the
landlord has shown in several instances .
