How Tea Is Made i'm the East.

The Hunnias (Himalayan natives)
drink tea which comes from China in
small packets, made up of the large
leaves, small branches, seeds, etc.,
forming mass reduced to the smallest
possible size by pressure, and render
ed sometimes still more compact by a
slight addition of sleeps blood, The
Hunnias travel great distances, living
only on tea and what the Hindus call
suttoo-that is, -four made from roast
ed beans or peas. To prepare the tea,
they boil the leaves for some hours
all night, in fact, if they are in camp
in q small earthen pot; then they pour
out the infusion into a large basin full
of hot water, adding some salt and
clarified butter (ghee), if they happen
to have it. All these naturally make q
kind of soup; and the natives can live
on it several months, and undergo
severe fatigue, without taking any
other nourishment. The method
adopted by the Mongols and other Tar
tar tribes for the preparation of tea in
bricks is, says johnson In his "Chem-
istry of Common Life" it is believed,
that which extracts from the leaves the
greatest possible amount of nourish-
ment. They scrape the tea into fine
powder, and boil it in the alkaline
water of the steppes, adding some fat
and salt, after which they pour off IL Q
liquid, leaving the deposit. They drink
twenty, even forty glasses of this liquid
in the day, mixing in it some honey and
butter, with little roast meat but with
only little milk instead of the meat
they can subsist many weeks with this
drink for sole sustenance.

Wall Street Bears and Their Opera

Brokers and operators are clears"
when they have sold stock, and particu-
larly stock that they did not own, con-
tracing to deliver it at some future
time. Theo are then short of the mar
ket." The disposition of the bear is to
pull things down. The Wall street
bear is often found cunning stock"
by putting forth all his strength and
craft to break down the price. and es-
pecially when aware that certain
house is heavily loaded and can not re-
sist his attack. He @buys In" by pur-
chasing stock to meet "short" con-
tract, or to return borrowed stock !;
COVERS" or "covers his shorts" by
buying stock to fulfill his contract on
the day of delivery. This is self
protective measure, and is called "cov-
ering short sales" A drop" in the
price of q stock is to bear the next
best thing to "break." He rejoices in
an "off" market when prices fall. He
SELLS out" man by forcing down the
price of stock that the per-
son is carrying so low that he
is obliged to let it go, and perhaps
to fail. He groans Justify when the
bulls get "twist on the shorts" by ar
officially raising prices, and "squeez-
ing," or compelling the bears to settle
at ruinous rates. Neither "bull' nor
"bear" is an altogether safe "critter. I"
The latter, however, is reputed to be
about four times as mischievous as the
former, inasmuch as he rudely sells an
other mans property, whereas the bull
contents himself with carrying his own.
The bear occasionally finds himself
in corner" where it is impossible to
buy the stock of which he is short, !"
and which he must deliver at speci-
fed time. He growls and begs, but
must pay what the holders of his con-
tracts are willing to accept. Some re-
lief is afforded by "let up" or the
withdrawal from the market of the
clique" or pool" or combination of
operators that cornered him. A "squeal
in the pool" is the revelation of its So
crets by one of its members, and a
"leak in the pool" is when one of the
parties sells out his interest without
the knowledge of the others. Either
form of detection yields some mitiga-
ton to the bears suferings. R

Eve Doctors of India.

The itinerant eye-doctor of India
performs his operations with contiden-

When customer appears he takes out
his penknife and performs the opera

Then he binds up the wound, tells his

Guheino's cue. At 'too late" he rushes on
and clasps Augustine in his arms. "Whew!
growls Augustus; he needn't be so violent
about it,"
