Coffee and Tea.

From the N. Y. Star.
The statistics of the consumption Of
conee and tea are full OF suggestive in
terest. IL appears that IN 1867 the
amount Of tea consumed in this country
averaged about one pound ahead but
In 1850 1t had risen to nearly pound
and half-l.44 pounds, to be exact.
But the use OF coffee, which in 1921 was
only about one pound head, had in
creased TO five pounds in 1881, and To
$50 pounds In 1880. These figures are
quite amazing. The increase In the
consumption OF tea In sixty years, so
far as we can learn, is less than half A
pound, while the consumption Of coffee
mas Increased over seven pounds and
tbree-qnaiters. This would indicate n
great falling eff In sewing circles and
cuttings and the old-fasbioned afternoon
vlsitings our grandmothers regarded as
such great occasions; and also that
there has been an astonishing develop
ment OF luxury within half century.
But u ls interesting 70 note that in
Great Britain the consumption of tea
has risen from less than pound and a
quarter head in 1870 to over four
pounds and lalf In 1880; while, on
the other ha0d, the consumption OF
coffee has fallen from over a pound a
head In 1920 to 145 ounces 10 1880.
The average American drinks about ten
times as much coffee as bis English cous-
In; but the latter consumes nearly four
times As much tea. IL would be inter
esting to learn the effects of the two
beverages on the two branches of our
English family, and also whether the
increasing consumption of coffee over tea
here is due in part to the quality of the
article offered tor sale. Most of the tea
used In Englsnd is brought direct from
China, while the tea sold here lie largely
imported from japan and other coun-
tries, including England and New Jer-
sey. We are fsat becoming a nation OF
cotiee-drinkers, and it is possible to get
a good cup of ooflse now almost any
where except at railway stations and res
taurants.

Money value of New York.

The returns of the commissioners of
taxes and assessments for New York
show that the entire amount of real
and personal property ass 3ssed in that
city aggregates about two billions of
dollars. The Tribune claims, how
over, that this sum falls shortof repre-
senting the actual wealth of the me-
tropolis, as real estate is assessed at
on'y six per cent. of its value, whilst
an immense amOuat of personal pro-
perty escapes taxation a together, for
various reasons. In addition, there is
the exempted church property,
amounting to $25, 900, 600; the school,
college and library, also exempt, foot
ing up about $50 900, 900, and the pro.
perty of the Uni'ed States, worth
SIS, OOO. 600, which is equally beyond
the reach of the State tax. gatherer.
The Tribune says a growing feeling
appears to exist in favor of abolishing
all personal taxes, on the ground of
difficulty of collecting them with fair
ness and equality, and of doing away
with all exemptions on real estate.
During last year plans were filed in
