rsa brokerage and Tasting.


The tea brokerage business was begun in
small way 40 years ago, and has been con-
stantly increasing until II has become an i'm
mense specially. The commission is half
cent pound, and the smallest amount that
broker will sell is Ave packages. He obtains
samples from the importer and gives his Gus
toner an opportunity Of carefully testing the
article. Hence in a tea brokers' office the
kettle is always boiling and the centre table
has it's extended array Of tea cups. The
drawing is carefully weighed, and for one
cup must turn a silver half-dime, this being
the usual weight. Generally a score of sam
Piles are tested at the same time in order 10
make comparison. The tea traders first try
the aroma and then sip in order 10 get the
flavor. What nicely Of taste must be requir-
ed TO FIX values in this rapid manner An ex.
pert tea-taster however, will not only desig-
nate the price but often specify the part Of
China in which the crop was grown. Tea
tasting is said to be gift, and some can new
or succeed while others all at once display
skill. good faster mupt be Of a rather ner-
vous temperament, because tea appeals TO the
nervous system, and the business is therefore
one in which the latter is severely tried and
sometimes is shattered
Tea brokers are sometimes obliged 10 taste
300 samples in day, and during the business
season 200 is an average. One reason for
this excess is found in the fact that broker
may be employed 10 buy the entire stock for
some important house. Hence he must ex-
ercise great care but while he makes large
profits his health suffers 10 q corresponding
degree. The constant effect Of such stimu-
liant indeed cannot be escaped. Tea enters
the system by inhaling, and also through the
mucous membrane, and lastly by the stomach.
The result, as has been stated, is distressing
10 the nervous system, the consequences be-
ing varied according to alidiosyncracies
They are, however, Of sufficient Importance
to have place in the medical record The
tea broker must also resign the social nature
of tea drinking, and when he comes home at
night with a mouth irritated with profession
al tasting, how annoying must be the an
nouncement that tea is ready" The lead
ing tea brokers are rich men, but as in many
other specialties, they have to pay for their
success.

pr..Ident Arshur's NOBILITY.
MARY Clemmer, in The Independently


1t was when the sympathy of the whole
nation was fixed upon another man, to his
own questioning, to his own implied detri-
ment, that President Arthur suddenly stood
forth in what seemed to be a new character
but which, after all, was only his best and in
alienable self. In such moment an ignoble
man would have unconsciously betrayed his
innate cupidity, however much he might
have garnished it with signs and lamenta-
tions; but his keenest- eyed enemy never ven
tured TO question the sincerity of the Vice
Presidents dismay or grief. Every circum-
stance almost in the four months of the ILL
fated Administration, which had now receiv-
ed its death-wound, deepened his sorrow.
He was astute enough to know that in the
minds of the astonished and afflicted nation
every fact seemed to reflect discredit upon
himself, from his own adherence to Conkling,
his presence in the Albany fight, to the wild
CRY of Guiteau after the fatal shot "Arthur
q President nowln More than this, he was
man enough, true enough in his impulses, and
quick and tender enough at heart to feel a
real anguish at sight of a man 50 splendid in
endowment, so lovable in nature, wounded to
cruel death He had buried from his sight
his own beautiful and accomplished wife,
and, with his motherless children by his side,
he could not be an unmoved witness to Mrs.
Garfeld's patient and heroic grief. ''Lei no
one think | want to be President by such a
road!" was his spontaneous ejaculation.

Governor Tom Young of Ohio is noted as
a jolly, good-nAtured, whole-souled man. He
had been bored to death by an over-persistent
applicant from Cincinnati. At last the fellow
became desperate, and inquired: "Well, gov
ernor, what are my chances 2" Looking pity
ingly upon him, Governor Tom replied: II
am sorry you asked me that question, young
man, but I'll tell you. You haven't ghost
more of q chance than cat that has fallen
into Hades and has no claws to climb out.
Go home; quit politics; be farmer; be any
thing; don't be apolitician. Be virtuous and
you'll be curiosity" The man from the
Buckeye state has gone West, young man.

MARY clemmer, in The Independently


In personal aspect President Arthur is both
commanding and elegant. His dress and
bearing indicate gentleman used to the fine
social life of great cities. They proclaim
him to be cosmopolitan, not proVincialist
Yet the features of his face are less patrician
then were those of President Garfield. Gar
field always seemed to hint Of bucolic things,
as If he had fed and thriven all his days on
dairy-farm but the lines of his head and
face were exceptionally noble and would have
looked in their fitting place cut on the finest
Roman gem. The lower part of President
Arthur's face tells long story of the good
things of this world, enjoyed at table and
convivial feasts. His nose, starting to be
Greek, forgot its intention at the end and ran
into stub His head, well covered with
dark hair, tinged with gray, is both high and
broad his brow open and serene, full in the
reasoning part of it and remarkable in its fac
ulties of perception Noting them, one is
sure that it is his own fault if he does not
manage men instead of being managed by
them. He is the latter only when his strong
emotional nature takes from his will some
what of its strength and clearness. From I'M
der this fine arch look forth a pair of dark
eyes, whose look of blended sagacity and
kindness is remarkable. Together, these
make the dominant qualities of his expires
sion. 1t is equally keen and kind He may
humor you very much, but not because he
does not know you. He has the face of o
man capable of intense emotion-of the deep
est personal attachments a man who will
never betray his friends and never fail TO see
through his enemies.

The brown.cbeeked, gray-bearded old

his cloth-lned straw.bat and pointing to
the statue OF stonewal Jackson, a few yards

but there are few evidences OF the war
here in Richmond and around?"

In Mr.. Faulkner's field, eight miles from

remember seeing once. During the storm
Wednesday evening, and while some hands
were at work in the same field, lightning
struck the tree and set it on fire. Faulkner
sent his men to pick up the brush to keep
the fire from reaching his fences. In less than
a half.hOHr the men heard a terrific eXplo-
sion I'm the tee, aud with some fear they
searched for the cause. They found that the
tree had been shattered by a she'll and
they picked up pieces OF the shell that hs d
torn through the bushes near by. The
shell lodged in the tree during the war, but
no one knew e was there. If that wasn't a
relic OF the war, and a forcb)e one, too,

PRESBYTERIAN SUHDAY-SCHOOL UNION
The monthly meeting OF the Presbyterian
Sunday. School Union was held on Sunday
afternoon at Second Presbyterian Church
chapel, on Grace s,reet-Mr. j. d. X.
Sleight, president, in the chair. Owing TO
clouds which threatened and the heat the
attendance was not large, nor were reports
in from all the schools. The average at
tendance OF four schools reported shows a
little falling off, which is usual at this sea-
son. The meeting was very pleasant one,
and DR.. Hazen gave an interesting account Of
his recent visit TO the international Sunday
School meeting in Toronto. DR.. Preston
also made few remarks.
