Chinese Tea.

Very considerable attention is being
attracted in Chinese quarters to the pres-
ent condition of the tea trade, and those
who know most about the subject will
be the least surprised to hear that for
several reasons it is not regarded as
perfectly satisfactory. In the first place,
whereas CHINA long enjoyed a mono
poly of the trade in this article, she has
now TO cope with more than one enter
prising competitor. India has for some
wears competed with her OF not unequal
terms in the London market; and unless
the present signs are totally misleading.
Ceylon will very shortly be in a aposition
to challenge the superiority of Orange
Pekoe of Flowery Congou. In the
United States, Chinese tea has also been
ousted to a great extent by that of Japan.
Many say that China has seen the worst
in this mater, and that the foreign de-
mand for her tea is not likely TO decline
any further. This belief may or may
not prove well founded. But the Chinese
are evincinS wisd IN in not showing
themselves indifferent to this tendency
1t is easier to note the evil than TO oassign
the cause or TO fix the remedy, Several
circumstances have contributed to the
decline of Chinese tea in popular favor,
Over-competition among Chinese plan
tiers and merchants appears to have re-
suited IN deterioration OF the quality
of the tea itself. What are called best
'crop" are distinctly inferior TO what
they were ten years ago, and the main
cause of this falling of seems to be the
over-Laste shown in despatchIng tea
from the fields to the market. The
principal object with both the Chinese
and the English merchants IN China
appears. to be not to send the best tea SO
much as the earliest tea on to the market.
If persisted in this must prove a suicidal
policy. There are, no doubt, several
other reasons. 1t must also be borne in
mind that tea is heavily taxed article,
and one also out of which many different
persons have to derive profit before it
reaches the cup of the consumer. The
Chinese Government derives by the
export duty about 3!d, from each
pound.

The Pug Dog.

The pug dog Is highly esteemed by dog
lovers, for what it would puzzle Paul to
tell. Certainly not for his beauty, al.
though tastes differ sbou, dogs, as in other
things. He is comparatively modern in.
stitutIon, not generally known or owned IN
The United States until 1870, and in Eng.
land only during the last quarter of this
century. His Origin Is IN doubt, and dog
fanciers have discus ed the point learnedly
only to settle his paternity as being of d
MuscovIte or Dutch origin. Many contend
that he is cross between the bulldog and
the small Dane. But be this as 1t may be
is very widely distributed, tor he is known
and petted In England, Russia, France,
Holland. China and Japan. HIS popular
lily is certainly caprice of fashion for, in
the whole catalogue of the canine species,

and more than ordinary degree of clean

Promisssry Notes.

These instruments become to the
shrewed rascal convenient means OF
swindling the unsuspecting; for, having
once got them in his possession, no
matter how fraudulently, they become,
in most instances, practically money,
and their makers cannot helpthemselves.
1t behooves farmers therefore to be
very careful in the matter OF giving
notes. and to always he certain OF
getting value received for them; for they
NAV be certain of having TO pay them,
whether they get anything in return or
not. A class of miscreants who have III
wears past successfully y operated by this
means, have tramped over the country
with the apparent object of sellin patent
rights. Had they confined themselves
to the legitimate sale of patent rights or
of patented articles, they would have
been less intolerable, though they have
forced many useless things upon the
public. and induced many q farmer, by
their valuable persuasiveness, to pay
dearly for things which he did not
want. But their real object has often
been far less innocent. A favorlte
dodge with them has been to get the
farmer to accept an agency for the sale
of the articles in his town or country,
securing his signature to printed
contract for that purpose-underneath
which is adroitfy concealed a printed
promissory note, which the farmer
unwittingly signs. supposing 1t to be
a duplicate of the contract. A few
months afterwards he is confronted by
demand for the payment of his note
by some shaver in a neighboriDg town,
who bought the same in good faith.
To avoid law suit. the farmer probably
ends the matter by compromising with
the holder of the note, or by paying Its
NIL amount out of his hard earned
savings. This is but one OF many
similar methods employed by these
villains. but it has been used to such an
extent IN some parts of the country, AS
to lead to special legislation. In
Michigan, statute enacted for the
..benefit" of these rogues, requires that
every note given for the right to make,
use, or sell any patented invention shall
have written across ITS face, 3" Giren for
Patent Right, and such notes are made
subject to all defense coed between
original parties, 10 matter in whose
hands they are; and the Supreme Court
of that State had. prior to the passage
of that law. held that note, the sigma
ture to which had been obtained in the
manner above indicated, was in the
nature of forgery, and absolutely void.
But this is contrary to the doctrine IN
many other States, and farmers generally
are not thus protected. As stated,
therefore, IT behooves them to be care
full what they sign. A good rule would
be-never give a prommissory note
unless absolutely necessary; never give
one without value received; never sign
any paper In the hands Of a stranger.
Happily, this means of swIndllng seems
to Lee decreasing. This indicates, L
apprehend, that the farming communi-
ties, through the influence largely of The
press, have become too enlightened for
these swindlers to successfully practice
their operations.

Accidents In Mines.

More than one thousand deaths are
recorded as having resulted last year
from accidents in mines in Great Britain.
The average OF such deaths during the
last eight years is one to every 454
persons employed. Fall of rock from
the roofs, but more particularly from
the sides of workings, continues to be
the most prolific source of these disas-
tiers, and there seems to be good reason
to believe that large proportion
might be prevented by an ample provl-
sion of timber supports. The list of
accidents appears to swell with each
successive year. and the necessity of
exercising the gratest possible care in
tlmbering cannot be too strongly urged.

IT seems that even hats may be made
the subject Of scientific inquiry. The size
Of the hat indicates the size of the head,
and DR.. Delaunay, a French physician, has
been investigating the sizes OF the hats
sold In Paris, in order to ascertain the size
Of the heads of those who have worn them.
In this way he has ar ived at the conclu-
sion that in some influential families there
ia a period of growth, stationary period,
and u period Of ,'ecr, sse IN the external
volume of the head. Thus, he says, The
Revolutionisis OF 1859 had larger heads
than their fathers, while the heacs of their
descendants have grown smaller again. In
families nearer extinction the head grows
very small indeed, and DIR. Delaunay as
suies US that the sons of the present ruling
families IN France have such small heals
that their bats have to be specially made
for them. The largest hats in Paris are
worn in the students quarter.
