INDIAN tea growing has received mar
velous development in the last ten years, be-
ginning originally under Government sub
ventions, and the Anglo-Indian Govern
ment made last year grant of $1,000, add
ing the sum to $4,000 raised by subscription
to introduce the tea in Australia. As re-
suit, the expectation of tea to the South Pa
cific Colonies rose last year to 750, 900 pounds,
against s6,62S the year before. This year
the same agency is to make an effort to put
Indian tea on the American market As a
large share of our China tea comes not by
way of the Pacific but through the Suez ca
nal, distance favors Indian tea. 1t made its
first appearance in New York year or so
ago; but the importations are as yet trivial,
and it is doubtful if its strong, not to say
rank, qualities will suit the American pal

President Washington never went to Con-
gress on public business except in stage coach
drawn by six cream-colored horses. The coach
was an object which would excite the admira-
ton of tho throng even now in the streets Of
London. 1t was built in the shape of hemis-
phere, and its panels were adorned with cupids
surrounded with flowers worthy Of Florida, and
of fruit not to be equalled out of California
The coachman and postillions were arrayed in
gorgeous liveries of white and scarlet. The
Philadelphia Gazette, Government organ,
regularly gave supply of Court news for the
edification of the citizens From that the peo-
pie were allowed to learn as much as it was
deemed proper for them to know about the
Presidents movements, and a fair amount OF
space was also devoted to Mrs Washington
who was not referred to as Mrs. Washington,
but as ''the amiable consort of our beloved
President" When the President made his ap-
pearance at ball or public reception, dais
was erected for him upon which he might
stand apart from the vulgar throng, and the
guests or visitors bowed to him in solemn si-

Washington that he wished the official title Of

MADAME Strouve, the wife of the new
Russian minister at Washington, was with
her husband when he recently represented
his government at Toxic in Japan. She
became deeply interested in Japanese ceram-
les, the antique teapot being particularly at
tractive. She had gathered nearly 800 speci-
mems of these pots when she discovered
that the Japs, finding her good customer,
were manufacturing them especially for her,
each being made more grotesque and San
tique'' than its predecessor. She at once
closed her collection, and the honest and
simple Japs went back to the dull routine
of their daily plod.

Henry wadsworth Longfellow.

I4OAAJ wv co0 WI uA A10ASAOAAOWs
Against the name of Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow "the fatal asterisk of death" Is
set. The poet honored aud beloved by all
who read the English speech has gone to his
rest, and his voice will be heard no more in
the quire of earthly singers. His death will
not only be mourned as a loss to letters and
art, but will be felt as a personal bereaye-
mcnt by millions of people. No other singer
of this latter-day has SO secure place In the
hearts of his hearers, and no other perhaps
has earned so permanent fame. The quail
ties of his genius and the loveableness OF his
nature have harmoniously combined to en-
dear him to his fellow-men, and his memory
will be held as sacred possession by the
land made fortunate by his birth. This is
not the time to discuss his work. Grief at
the end, so sudden and surprising, is still
TOO poignant for that. The city of his nativ-
ity, who but lately honored his natal day
| with service of praise and song, mourns the
loss of her best loved and most gifted son.
Sing unto him, honor and praise him, 0, city, thy
son and thy foremost of fame;
Be glad for him, place of his birth,
Have Joy for the sake of the day he was born and
the years that have made Kim name
With singers the mightiest of earth.
Let honor and love be as one in thy speech of him
even as the fire and the light
Are twofold and one of the sun;
Set song in thy mouth, let thine heart be uplifted
thine eyes be illumed for the sight
OF the worlds praise thy poet has won.
Not lovlier, not ordlier the song Of his youth and
the touch of his earlier lutte
Than his voice to the later-strung Tyre;
AS bough sets to bud, bud increases to flower, and
the flower is followed of fruit,
As breath wakes the glory of fire,
The blossoming stem of his song is fulfilled. yea,
with measure of fruitage fourfold,
His spirit enlightened of days
What clasp shall be broken, what bond shall be loos-
ened, what link shall fail ever to hold
The love of mems hearts to his praise?
city once and again cry aloud, lift thy voice.
speak thou well of thy son,
Thy child best-beloyed of thee;
Weave wreath of thy praise and thy peace for his
head, crown his hair thou desirable one

Advertisements have lately appeared in the
London papers for information of the whore
abouts of Sir William Augustus Congreve.
When last heard from, twenty-five years ago,
he was in Sidney on his way to the Fiji Is
lands. He is the grandson of the inventor of
Congreve rockets. His father died in 1928,
the present baronet then being two years old.
On attaining his majority, Sir William went
off rowing. and has only been heard from once
since. His only brother also mysteriously dis
appeared some years ago; and as neither of
them is known to have married, the baronetcy
will lapse, unless the advertisements are sue
cessful in bringing forward news of one of the
wandereys.-N. Y. Tribune.

GEN. P. E. CoNNoR, who is talked Of in
connection with the territorial governorship
of Utah, is 90 years old and has been in the
regular army since 1889. He has lived in
Utah for the last 20 years and has done
more for that Territory than any other Cen

there, wrote the first mining laws, presided
at the first mining meeting, built the first
silver milling works, located the first Cen
tile town in Utah-Stockton-and built the
first steamer and sailing vessel to navigate

SPEAKING of the oil excitement in Germa-
ny the February report by Consul Camsius
says: "The furor which swept Germany at
the discovery of oil has apparently subsidized
for good. Several dealers in oil and also
other persons here inform me that the re-
fined oil distilled at Oilheim did not burn as
well as the American, and when burning
smoked to such an extent that it is imposs-
BILE to use it in dwellings. From these facts
we may safely conclude that the anticipated
annihilation of the American export of pc
troleum to Germany is still far Distant

THE determined attitude of the Cuban
radicals and fears of disturbance in the
island have prompted the Spanish Ministry
to introduce into the Spanish Cortes bills
providing for the admission of creoles to mi
nor posts in the Colonial service and regu-
lating the extraordinary powers of the Gov
ernors General Both of these bills may be
taken as the entering wedge of local self
government by the Spanish Colonies, es-
pecially Cuba, and this prompt recognition
of popular forces shows both the growth of
Spain in constitutional government and the
able character of the present ministry. The
ministry now claims to have the support of
clear majority in both houses of the Cor

THE new treaty concluded between Rus
sia and Persia cedes to the former a large
portion of the province of Khorassin. This
cession of territory completely surrounds
the city of Merv, the once important strong
hold of the Tekke Turcomans, and now a
Russian place of arms. As Russia is now
close up to the Afghan territory, an event
which it was once said could not occur
within the lifetime of the present generation
of men, there only remains Afghanistan as
a buffer between Russia and British India.
This buffer, however, in the nature of
things is not likely to last very long, and the
British people will probably hear of the
Russian annexation of Afghanistan with
the same unconcern as they now hear of
the annexation of Merv and Khorassin.
