to be seen by the way the papers speak

the same kick. They can only get freight

There have been three notable Fourth Of
July celebrations, and there will soon be a
fourth. The first was in 1859, soon after
the present form Of government went into
operation; the second in 1866, when all pre-
vious demonstrations were outdone, and
the third in 1876, the famous Centennial
year. The fourth will undoubtedly be in
1s92. when the discovery Of America will
be celebrated, as we'll as the Declaration OF
Independence. Perhaps II would be safe
to add another, for in 1895 much was said
of that being the dftieth anniversary,
though It does not appear that there were
any unusual demonstrations on that day.

TEA BY The BRICK.
1t is Thus Prepared for the Chinese Mark
and Also Serves as Currency.


and Also Serves Currency.
The genuine brick tea of the Chinese
manufacturers is intended for the Thi-
betan market and for the Eastern Mon
gols. 1t is made of the whole leaf, stalk,
flower and all, as it is picked from the
tea shrnb, and is in shape and appear
ance not unlike rather dirty ordinary
brick.
The correspondent writing in the Kew
Gardens Bulletin states that he has
never seen this kind of brick tea manu-
factured, but knows it is made by the
Chinese in very simple way. Simple
is hardly the word; primitive is nearer
the mark. The leaves are chewed and
when well saturated with sativa are
laid out to Torment and partially dry.
They are then rolled up into little balls,
with the help of some additional moist
ure and afterward nodded by hand into
oblong blocks, or bricks ten inches
long, ten broad and four thick. The
leaves thus prepared acquire slightly
sour taste, due to fermentation induced
by the saliva, The trade in these
bricks is a most important one, and
1t is the fear of interference with
it on the part of the tea growers
of Assam that is at the bottom
of the hostility manifested by the Chi
nese and Thibetans to an attempt to
enter into closer commercial relations
with the trans Himalayan State. The
trade in brick tea is a monopoly of the
Lamas or priestly caste OF Thibet, and
they are very jealous of any interference
with highly profitable business. The
ordinary Thibetan must have tea; it is
the only thing he considers indispen-
sable, and for this commodity he de,
pends entirely upon the Lamas The
latter know that, ii intercourse between
Darjeeling and Thibet were encouraged,
the Assam planters would supply the
natives with tea at much lower rate
than the priests charge.
So, what with the Lamas on the one
hand and the Chinese planters on the
other, 1t is not surprising that the at,
tempt to foster commercial intercourse
between India and Bodyul is not viewed
with favor on the other side OF the Indo-
Chinese frontier.
Black tea is also used as currency in
Ihlbet, prices being quoted in equiva-
Tents of tho compressed leaf. The bever-
age prepared from the sourish tablets is
hardly likely to tempt tho Western
palate The Thibetan teapot is sort
of wooden churn, into which a boiling
infusion of the tea leaves is poured
through the stralner, little salt is
added, and some twenty or thirty strokes
are applied with wooden dasher pierced
with holes A lump of butter is thrown
in, and the mixture churned with one
hundred or one hundred and fifty
strokes, administered with much pre-
cision. But this is good deal more
palatable to Europeans than the brew
concocted of the bricks by the Moguls.
Meal, as we'll as bountiful supply OF
butter, is added to the decoction, and.
with fat sleeps tail or two swimming
about in the liquid, dish of tea is
served which in flavor and appearance
is difficult to distinguish from we'll
thickened pea soup Tao Gentleman'a

ABOUT THE OLIVE.


Its Appearance, Growth and Various Uses.
The olive tree in it's wild state Is q
thorny shrub or small tree, but when
cultivated becomes a tree twenty to
forty feet high, with no thorns. 1t lives
to good age. The leaves resemble
those OF willow; the flowers are small
and white and grow in clusters as grapes
do, and the fruit is greenish, whitish,
violet or even black in color and gener-
ally oval in shape 1t is produced in
great profusion, so that an old olive
tree becomes worry valuable to its owner.
Olive oil is much used as an article Of
food in the countries in which it is pro-
duced, and to smaller extent in other
countries. Pickled olives are very much
liked by most people, though to many
they are disagreeable at first.
Among the Greeks the olive was
sacred to Minerva, the goddess of wis
dom; it was also the emblem of purity.
A crown Of olive twigs was the highest
honor that could be bestowed upon a
Greek citizen. An olive branch was
also the symbol of peace, and the
vanquished who came to beg for peace
bore oliHe branches in their hands.
The American olive is remarkable for
the hardness of its wood. 1t is found as
far north as Virginia. It's fruit is fit for
use and its flowers are fragrant.
The fragrant olive OF China and Japan
has extremely fragrant flowers, which
are used for fiavoring tea, Douroit Free
