THE PRICE OF TEA.

The Original Cost of the Common Arti-
Gle is Three Cents Pound.
New York Ledger.
The cost of common tea is about three cents
per pound. The cost Of manufacture, export
duty, packing, ETC., about double the price;
so that the cost on board ship amounts to
about five and half cents per pound. About
300 pounds or 400 pounds of brick tea go 10
''basket," made of light bamboo. Two
baskets form camel load. Brick tea is IN
bulk about one-sixth Of ordinary tea. In
Mongolia, where the nomad population of
herdsmen have little use for money, their
tents, clothing, food, and temples being sup
piled by their ilocks, brick tea forms q stand
ard Of value and a convenient medium of ex-
change, as it is in universal demand for food.
A brick or half brick of tea is placed In q
copper vessel and boiled'up with mutton fat
or butter, and the food is eaten hot In liquid
condition. Lately new commodity has come
on the Hankow market, to which the customs
give the name OF log tea 1t is an inferior
tea, with stalks, packed in the shape Of logs,
which weigh from eight pounds to eighty
pounds each log. This tea is wrapped in the
leaves of the Banlbusd IatifoliG, and then re-
duced in bulk by binding round the log with
lengths OF split bamboo. The log tea Is sent
to the Chinese ports for consumption, and is
packed thus from motives of economy, both
packing and of freight.

The Legislature of this state is
now in session and if no other bus
mess is transacted, at least the road
law will be .inkered with. We pre-
sumo that whatever law in regards
to the roads is passed will be based
on that same old idea, viz: The poor
man must work the road for the
rich man to ride over. In the next
century they may begin to realize
that the rich ought to make the
roads for the poor to walk over.

oAMEO1OWN LETTER,
By Our Regular Correspondent.
Jan. 7, 1891.
The Holidays of 1890 are now
passed, and | fear that many lives
nave gone out with them; but can
say, not SO in our little town and
good county. They passed away
here, quietly but very pleasantly.
On Tuesday Night preceding
Christmas, Mr.. A. L. Brier gave a
ball to the young folks, and thew
"trlpped the light fantastic toe" till
the "wee sma hours" A supper
not surpassed anywhere, was served
at 10.
On Wednesday following, the boys
=
gathered together with their Win
chesters, to shoot turkeys and
chickens at 200 and 100 yards re-
spectlvely. This entertainment was
Kept mp almost all day, and all of
'he fowls were carried away from
the shooting grounds by the prize
shots. Sheriff A. J. Mace no doubt
made the best shot, killing small
chicken with his revolver, at dis
lance of 100 yards, at the first shot.
The Christmas Tree on Wednes-
day Night was beautiful to behold.
and a grand success.
The Sunday School had made
arrangements to have second tree
on the night OF Dec. 81, for the
Sunday School children. This tree
exceeded the first one in grandeur
and beauty. The presents placed
upon it would aggregate $500 in
value.
County Quarterly Court met on
Monday, Jan. 5, and was in session
two days. Hon. J. G. Taylor, ap-
pointed County Judge on Dec. l, by
Gov. Taylor, was indicted to his
office. One-half of the day, Mon
day, was taken up in balloting for
Superintendent OF Schools.
There were some six or eight
candidates for the office and, as It
requires two-thirds of the votes
cast to elect, some twelve or fourteen
ballots were taken, and finally re-
suited in the election of W. ).
Mr.. Winningham is
a young man, but amply qualified
for the position. We are safe in
saying that no man takes greater
interest in the cause of education
than Mr.. Winningham, hence he is
the right man in the right place.
The tax levy was deferred till the
next Quarterly Court.
Various items on the appropria-
Docket aggregating $4,000 or
more, were passed.
Ninety or more Road Overseers
were appointed, and many other
matters Of minor importance at
tended to.
I wish The RUGBY News a pros
porous year. { Thanks.-Ed.)

An American Girl in the Desert.

While travelling abroad some seasons ago
Miss Guise, New York painter, joined a
party of artists in Algeria, where she spent a
most profitable winter, crossing the desert
into the oasis of Biskra, famous for its date
groves Miss Guise made many sketches
in this very paintabie region, by her tact
penetrating interiors closed to most of the
world. The Arabs religious prejudices
forbid portraits being made of him, and
his acquaintance with ''infdels" makes
him suspicious of people who only want
to paint his house or his corner of the
street" Miss Guise, however, made friends
among them, rode their wild horses, ate
"kous-kous" under the shadow of their
tents, and was allowed all sorts of unheard
of privileges. In her studio are to be seen
many souvenirs of her soiourn in the des-
ert-rrlgs and hangings and very re-
n-lrkable musical instrument made from
turtles shell, short stick and two
strings.

A case in point is that of Eddie and
Willie Brown. The former is IA years of
age and the latter Is. They are orphans,

Not long ago they "struck streak Of

they decided to devote their small fortune

their dead fathers brother and lived in
New York, but whether the state or city of
that name they didn't know. The lack of
definite information failed TO daunt them,
however, and they began their long jour
ney by taking steamer passage to Port
land, Ore. This cost 81.
At Portland they spent the rest of their
cash for a bootblacking outfit. the income
from which brought them food. They
struggled their way by boat to the Dalles,
and got by rail to Cheyenne on the Union
Pacific. There they stopped for while,

THE BRIDE AND GROOM.

The bride, though untitled, is of lineage
almost as noble as the groom and even
more ancient. The Di Zeregas are of old
and noble Italian family, one branch of
which located in Caracas, of which the
bride is descendant. On her mothers
side she is descended from the Baron Won
Breton, of Denmark, and also from Maj.
John Barry, British officer, who in 1710
received a grant of land ten miles square
in New Jersey.
Bishop Potter performed the ceremony
assisted by the Rev. Arthur Crooks. The
lady, following the ancient custom of her
family, was dressed as Venetian bride
q diamond tiara crowned her head, and
from it fell veil of point lace. The high
Venetian collar was delicately inteaspersed
with jewels and her white satin front was
embroidered with silver and studded with
pearls. The two little pages who bore the
court train, Victor di Zerega and Richard
Barry, the brides cousins, were clad in
white, withsilken hose, long pointed Vene-
tan shoes worked with silver and white
satin tunics held with jeweled girdles.
The four bridesmaids were also in Vene-
tian costume, the material being sky blue
crepe de Chine, the sash light pink silk
and the sleeves slashed at shoulder and
elbow. Il is scarcely necessary to add that
every foot of space in the church not occu-
pied by the bridal party was filled with the
curious, and that a large crowd was col
lected in front.
