CONCERNING TEA.

Why the Finest Grades of Tea Are
Rarely Seen In This Country.
It requires about four pounds of
fresh leaves to make one pound of dried
tea, and the yield is three to four hum
dred pounds per acre. Bohea is the
coarsest of the Chinese teas. The best
quality of black tea is pekoe, which
consists of the very youngest leaves
while they are still clothed with down.
The finest teas, both green and black,
are rarely seen in this country, because,
if packed in large lots and conveyed in
the hold of a ship, fermentation, takes
place, which destroys their quality.
1t is mostly consumed by the wealthy
Chinese or finds its way overland te,
Russia.
1t may be added here for the benefit
of the many who know not how to
make good tea that the quality of the
infusion is greatly influenced by the
character of the water with which it is
made, hard water never producing the
best effectin tea-making. The wealthy
Chinese make their tea in the cup from
which it is to be drunk. The proper
quantity of leaves is put in the cup,
boiling water poured over them, and
the cup covered with the saucer for a
while. A perforated bit of silver made
for the purpose is fitted over the leaves
in the bottom of the cup to prevent
them from rising to the surface. Tea
should never be boiled. Toledo Blade

Howe, who then had charge of the
deaf-and-dumb school at Boston.
There she was taught to read by touch
ing raised letters; then these letters,
framed into words, were attached to
objects, and she thus learned to know
objects by their names. Thus far,
however, the work was only an exer.
else of imitation and memory, and was
like teaching clever dog variety of
tricks. But all at once the truth seemed
to flash on her that by this means she
could make known to others what was
in her mind, aud this knowledge
seemed to change her whole being.
Her sympathetic teachers procured for
her a set of metal types, with the letters
cast at the ends, and a board with
square holes for their insertion, so as
to be read by the fingers when placed.
In few months she could spell the
names of the most common objects,

her knowledge increased so that she
could recognize persons. fabrics, col
ors, etc., by the touch alone. In few
years she was able to receive lessons in

learned to write fair, legible hand.

is an adept in plain and fancy needle
