TASTING TEA FOR A LIVING.

A Peculiar Profession Followed by Sever
 al Hundred New York Men.
 There is class of men who find con- stant and remunerative employment among the large wholesale dealers in teas and coffee of this city that the av- craze reader has never known to exist These gentlemen are known to the narrow confines of their profession as tasters. They sample all of the finer brands and qualities of tea and coffee. The moment a bean or leaf is placed upon their tongues they can almost give a complete history of it's quality, age and even the country from which it had been shipped
 The least defect in proper prepara- ton, the falntest taint of adulteration is palpable to them in a degree aston shing to layman.
 Of these gentlemen there are about five hundred in New York and vicinity, and all of them earn salaries ranging from five thousand dollars to ten thou sand dollars a year. The largest iIn- porting tea houses have one and some- times two of these experts constantly employed testing and passing upon the quality of their consignmentS prior to final payments.
 'I know that my profession is pe- culiar one," said one of the prominent experts the other day, ''and that the majority of tea drinkers believe that the quality of their favorite beverage is ascertained by a chemical process. In that, however, they are mistaken.
 "They may also be led to believe that this profession is easy to acquire. and that no sacrifices are made to it by those who follow it for livelihood. That is another mistake, even greater than the former. It takes years to ac- quire that dclicacy of taste so necessary to determine the different qualities, and once acquired the sacrifices one has to make to retain it are even greater than the demands made upon the fol- lowers of the medical profession.
 "If you smoke the palate immediately loses the delicacy, and even a glass of liquor would do an injury which would require months of care to overcome.
 We can not partake of rich food or spiced dessert of any kind for the same reason, and are compeled to take extra care in all our food.
 'The most prominent opera singers do not take better care of their throats than the tea and coffee experts. "-N. Y. Herald.

IF Jerry Simpson does not catch the speakers eye as often as he wishes, it will not be because of his location, as he has secured a seat in the very front row. Jerry has not yet recovered from his dis appointment at the small vote his candi- date for speaker received.

THE meeting of the executive com mittee of the National Democratic com mittee was an important event for the party and a very pleasant event for those who attended it. January 21, 1892, was the date set for the assembling of the full committee in Washington, for the purpose of naming the time and place for holding the next national con- vention of the party. The time for holding the convention will probably be about the first week in July, but the place is as yet matter of doubt.
