SOME CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT AN INTEREST
ING BRANCH OF BUSINESS


The tea brokerage business was begun
in small way forty years ago, and has
been constantly increasing until il has be-
come an immense speciality. The com
mission is a half-cent a pound, and the
smallest amount that broker will sell is
five packages He obtains samples from
the importer and gives his customer an
opportunity of carefully testing the arti-
cles. Hence in a brokers' Office the kettle
is always boiling and the center table has
its extended array of tea cups. The
drawing is carefully weighed, and for one
must turn silver half dime, this being
the usual weight. Generally a score Of
samples are tested at the same time in
order to make comparison. The tea trad
ers first try the aroma and then sip it in
order to get the flavor. What nicely of
taste must be required to fix valuSs in this
rapid manner An expert tea-taster, how
ever, will not only designate the price but
often specify the part of China in which
the crop was grown. Tea-tasting is said
to be a gift. and some can never succeed
while others all ut once display skill. A
good faster must be OF a rather nervous
temperament, because tea appeals to the
nervous system, and the business is, there
fore, one in which thc latter Is severely
tried and sometimes is shattered.
Tea brokers are sometimes obliged to
taste 800 samples in n day, and during the
business season 200isan average Onerea-
SON for this excess is found in the fact that a
broker may be employed to buy the entire
stock for come important house. Hence
he must exercise great care; but while ne
makes great profits his health suffers to a
corresponding degree. The constant effect
Of such stimuiant indeed cannot bC
escaped. Tea enters the system by inhal
ing. and also through the mucous mem
brane, and lastly by the stomach The
result, as has been stated, is Distressing tC
the nervous saystem, the consequences
being varied according to personal idlosyn
cracies. They are, however, of suflcien

A LARGE ENTERPRISE On PApER.-The
scheme for manufacturing gas in the
coal regions Of Pennsylvania and trans
mitting it through a six feet iron pipe to
New York, for Illuminating purposes. is
assuming very large dimensiOn-0n paper.
A company has been organized under the
laws of New Jersey, called The Gas
light Transportation Company, the CAPT
tai stock being fixed at the modest sum Of
$25,O000Q0, mere bagatelle. or side
speculation" Mr.. J. Nelson Tappan, city
chamberlain of New York, is announced
an president of the company, and Senator
Mcpherson, of New jersey, and Mr. John
Hoey, of the Adams Express Company,
are among the reputed directors. The
gas is to be made from bituminous coal,
and the daily product is to be 10000, 900
feet, which would require 100000 tons of
coal annually The coal can be bought
at the mines for 30 cents per ton, whilst
| the net cost to the city companies is put
at So IA per tom The entire plaA is esti-
mated at $45, 900, ,000-$25 900 600 in stock
and $20,000,000 in bonds. 1t is claimed
/ that the sale Of coke will offset the pump
ing Of the gas, but there may be consid-
erable gas in this prediction. Should the
scheme be put in operation it is proposed
to extend a line to Boston and other Eas-
tern cities, and everybody on the line of
the pipes between New York and the
place Of manufacture of gas is to be sup
piled at a remarkably low rate. 1t will
probably be some time before The Gas
