TEA.IN-AMERtCA.
A Few Facts Concer.iing It's Lsnpo rita tion
aud Consumption.

A Few Facts Concer- ling Its bnporta tion
aud Consumption.
The export of teas, from China and
Japan to New York for the season OF
1Ss9-90 embraced about 100000 600
pounds In 1889 it was so, S4S, 700,
and in 1878 was IS, $50, 300 pounds.
The special reviewed. the chamber OF
commerce for 1890 oinits any general
statement of Importation, consumption,
or prices. Teas have steadily declined
in price, and that with concomitant re.
greet of importer. jobber, and broker.
The fall in price is alleged to be chiefly
due to the large shipments to this coun.
try from England and Canada; and
these are said TO. be occasioned by the
removal several years ago of the
differential duty of 10 per cent. by the
federal government. Canada compels
payment of 10 per cent. differential
duty on teas warehoused in the United
States and then transported thither,
even when they were purchased for
importation to her own limits. Eng
land ships her surplus to the United
States without payment of duty, and
without payment of additional freight,
provided it be reshipped within six
months after arrival in London. Com
mercial American hope is that con-
gress will restore the 10 per cent.
differential duty on teas coming from
any other than the country of pro-
duction. Oolong from the island Of
Fermosss is reported to be the most
popular with consumers. although in
quality hardly equal to the fine Foo
chow tea. India and Ceylon teas are
chiefly acceptable to educated palates.
which do not comprise many of Ameri-
can origin, for the reason that their
education has been neglected. Hence
the liking for unwonted fiavors is not
widespread. The truth is that
Americans are not tea-drinking peo-
Pile, and that the annual per capita
consumption of / y pounds has been
virtually stationary for the past forty
years. Richard Wheatley, in Harper's

AN EXCITING SCENE.
A Lady,s Knowledge iof Character Save
Her from the Patrol Wagon.

A Lady's knowledge iof Character Saves
Her from the Patrol Wagon.
A handsome lady whose husband is
a member of one of the ''old families.
entered the shop of prominent hair
dealer and laid on the counter some
human hair she had purchased at the
same place few days previously.
The clerk refused TO take it back; so
did the proprietor, who was called to
decide the. matter.
The lady said there were nits in the
hair, and she did not want any in ex-
change for it from that shop.
The tone and manner of the dealer
were not conciliating. The lady was
already angry, and she grew more so
in the exciting dialogue that ensued.
Finally she picked mp hand glass and
threw it at the man. He missed the
missile, but it did not miss some of his
valuable property, and. moreover, it
shivered itself to pieces on the floor
go for an officer!" shouted the man
to clerk.
Eyes. go for an officer!'' cried the in
furiated woman.
When the policeman put in his APP
pearance the dealer said
'Otficer, arrest this. woman
Officer, arrest this many CON-
manded she, in tone of authority.
''She broke my looking glass; he
said. -
HE is an Engiishman!' said tho
Lady. who saw at % glance that the
policeman was an Irishman.
The officer at first looked from one
to the other, but when the lady re-
sponded:
Officer, arrest this Englishmanl" he
replied, in a rich brogue and with a
hearty good will: Take out way
rant, lady, and I'll take him down-In
take him down with pleasure.
BY this time she began to surmise,
SO she said afterwarl what her hus-
band would think of such an affair,
and so she resumed her dignity and
left the shop, leaving her unfortunate
purchase of human hair to make up the
loss of the mirror. st. Louis Chronicle.

ONE cubic foot of silage is estimated

On this basis the size of the silo re-
may be easily calculated.
| THEhE is no loss of any material that
| Is applied to the soil If the ground is
plowed ~nd ready for crop when the
manure Is spread unless the soil is very
porous or subject to being washed. y
Tre MFfou live stock is quite as bad
Tor the farmer as too much land. Do
not crowd the stock, and do not keep
more than can be fed we'll. pastured
| well and housed well. If you have
more than this sell off the surplus

get rid of the cause of the odor, only

destroying the spores in the seed. Dis

By working In hurry, without stopping once

And then he calculated that II people,rightIy

Their time and strength and energies thus
wasted and abused
They'd do their present daily work In Just
one-half the day,
And then restore their powers by an after
noon Of play.

world

human life
Began to make a study OF his ever busy wife;
Her needless steps he counted, watched her
powers misapplied,
And noted how, for nothings, was her DO

My dear, he smiled, one evening, 'I have
