you are willing that a man should
pay for The roof over your head, the
food you eat and the clothes you
wear. You expect him in addition
to furnish you with spending money.
And what will you give in return !
Your company. You are willing to
supervise the household, providing
it is stylish enough and there are
servants enough to anticipate every
exertion. You will dress, come
down to dinner and play the charms

muneration for this outlay 7 Does

ADULTERATRD TEA.

Japanese tea as exported, which
ten years ago rose to such favor,
especially 10 this country, is falling
very low. 1t was at first choice in
quality, and the quantity produced
was relatively small but the great
demand for it induced the growers
to abandon their ancient customs Of
picking only the young 'pring leaves.
They soon took TO stripping the
plants ali through the season, and
even to adding wisteria leaves.
Formerly the long and wirey tea
leaf had q natural olive tint, and an
especially delicate flavor; but now
the leaves are broken short, while
their dusky brown or yellow shadea
are disguised with ul!rAmarine or in
digo blues, gypsum, or soapstone
and the twenty >seven tea firing
houses in Yokohama where these
sephis.ications take place appear,
from the report of Drs Geems and
Wheeler, to be filthy, crowded, un'
healthy dens. Strenuous efforts are,
however, being made to better this
condition of affairs. 1t is curious
to fnd also that the rich, frsgran,
Oolong are failing of Formosa,
which sprang into such sudden res
pute, are falling off in quality.

HOW TO LEARN TO SWIM.

Wade out until the water is up to
your breast, then turn your face to-
wards the shore, and try to swim to-
wards it. You know that the water
between you and the shore is not
over your depth, as you have just
waded through it this will give you
confidence strike out. Confidence
is a great help in learning. The
chief of various aids 10 learning, the
swimming plank, cork, or the pres
ence of an older person, is to give
the learner confidence. A plank a
few feet long, ON which the beginner
can place one or both hand, lie some-
times of course. Corks or life p:eser>
vers of any kind, that are fastened to
the body we do not think much of.
One needs but very little adm
fact no adm order to keep his
head above water. if he only has con,
tidence. If an older brother or other
friend would hold his hand in such
manner that you can rest your chin
upon it, you can soon learn the proper
movement of the arms and legs.
Another method 10 to have a strap
or band of webbing or other materi-
al around the chest, just under the
arms A few feet of stout cord has
one end attached to the band, and
the other end fastened to a light
stout pole. 10 this manner a strong
person can help the learner while
standing on the land. The chief
use of this continuance is to give the
beginner confidence. Those who
undertake to aid boy in learning
to swim, should resist all temptation
to play tricks. No matter how
slight a ducking may be given, it
startles the learner, and be is there's
after fearful that it may be repeated.
