In many of the tea plantations, however,
the teas are sorted and sifted before they are
sent away. The sorting is done by taking out
the light and the heavy leaves. and the sitting
Ia passing the tea through a tray, so that the
fne leaves may be taken out from the coarse
ones. The tea is often sold by the farmers to
the local merchants, and these merchants sell
il 10 the japanese merchants at the seaports.
The japanese merchants sell it to the foreign
ers, aud the laws of Japan are such that an
American cannot send his drummers through
out the country TO pick up tea for him. He
has TO buy 1t second hand at the seaport The
merchant himself has TO have japanese or a
Chinaman rs go-between and he has to watch
the japanese very carefully in their dealings.
After the tea comes in it has TO be retired be-
fore shipping and there are two methods of
firing, one of which is pan-firing and the other
is basketfring. Large numbers of girls are
employed in the firing establishments, and q
visit TO one Of these places is one of the stTangest
sights in this country.
The pan-fring is done in long rows of pans
set in brickwork and plaster These pans are 81
inches wide and 13 inches deep. They have
charcoal fires under them, and the ovens in
which they are placed make table about as
high as your waist. Imagine 20 long rows of
these pans, over each of which bends a
japanese girl or woman. If the weather
is hot her dress is pulled down to
her waist, and her cream coiored arms and the
upper part of her body are as bare as the bust of
the Venus de tiel G. As she leans over these
big hoi psus and with her warm hands stirs
and kneads the drying tea, pearly drops of per-
spiration come out upon her back and chest,
and it viii not be strange if now and then one
drops into the pan which she is preparing for
our foreign palates. But there is not only one,
but several hundred women engaged in this
work. They mind not the Precipitation nor
the heat, and they sing and iabber as they mix
the tea. 1t takes them from 40 to 60 minutes
to finish one lot of tea, and after this hot-fring
it is mixed from % to 40 minutes in cold pans.
1t is during the hot-fring that the coloring
matter, if any, is put in, and the tea is taken
while still warm and boxed up in chests, lined
with lead, for shipment. It is marked by cool
les, and the cases are corded and made ready
for the steamer. Before being put in the boxes,
however, it is sifted, and from this sitting comes
the tea-dust.

America bought more than S134, 600 worth of
tea-dust last year. This is sold, of course,
much cheaper than the tea, but tea merchants
here tell me that some of the wicked grocers of
America buy it and mix it with the tea Its in
reality as good as the tea ITSELF but it is ques-
ton as to whether ID should bring so high a
price 1t is this tea-dust that forms a large
part Of the shipment of Japan tea to Russia.
The Russians take il in bricks, and one of their
favorite foods is soup made of this dust,
mixed with mares milk. They chew it also
like tobacco, and there is more of this brick tea
consumed in Siberia than the tea consumption
Of all America. The tea-dust which is sent to
America is cleaned by machinery, and it sells
TO the wholesale dealers for from to 10 cents
pound.
