TEA BY The BRICK.

1t 70 Thus Prepared for the Chinese Market
aud 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-
featured, but knows 1t is made by the
Chinese in q very simple way. Simple
Is hardly the word; primitive is nearer
the mark. The leaves are chewed, and
when we'll saturated with sativa. are
laid out to ferment 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 most important one, and
it 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 consfders indispen-
sable, and for this commodity he de-
ponds entirely upon the Lamaa The
latter know that, II intercourse between
Darieeling and Thibet we're encouraged.
the Assam planters would supply the
natives with tea at q much fower rate
than the priests charge.
So what with the Lamas on the one
hand and the Chinese planters on the
other. it 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
Thibet prices being quoted in equiva-
lents OF the compressed Leaf. The bever.
age prepared from the sourish tablets il
hardly likely to tempt the Western
palate. The Thibetan teapot is sort
OF wooden churn, into which . boiling
infusion Of the tea leaves is poured
through the strainer, 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
palstable to Europeans than the brew
concocted Of the bricks by the Moguls.
Meal, as well 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

profitable occupation and the farmers in
such country making more than bare
living. Agriculture in such a country is
like mining simply taking gold from
the soil in the shape of the finer grades
Of wheat and other cereals, and it pos
sesses the great advantage over mining
that the amount of actual work neces-
sary to make it pay is comparatively
very small.
Upon the great fertile prairies Of West
ern Canada, where millions of acres Of
the richest land in the world are COM
prised within the Provinces of Mani
itoba, Assiniboia, Alberta, etc., settlers,
old and new, have simply taken gold
from the ground in the shape of mag
nificent crops for the season of 1890.
Their gold is golden grain, but it
yields as sure returns as any metal ever
mined. The writer visited farm after
farm in Manitoba the past season
where the yield of wheat averaged from
80 to 3S bushels per acre, and where
oats yielded frequently rs bushels per
acre of choice grain. Upon one farm Of
l,S00 acres, the crop of wheat and oats
was close to $4,000 bushels, and of this
the first lot of 10000 bushels of wheat
was sold for 84c and SOC per bushel.

and the fact that no one seemed an,
prised OF his whereabouts after baIf

the conclusion of the last trip over from
the Island that night he proceeded u
billions iewelry store, as usual, to turn

He went into Biedenbach's saloon con.
nected with the Hotel Behler, and go,s
pair Of oars he had left there. and
shortly after walked out as thoug,
about TO row across TO the Island ,
elsewhere in a skiff. This was the -
seen OF him, and some fears have bee
entertained that he may have beer
foully dealt with. Some are o. the
opinion that he probably accidentally
capsized the boat while crossing the
river, and was drowned. But nothing
has been seen of stray boat or any o.
its fixtures, and, for this reason. this
theory is not strongly favored How
ever, it is certain that he IS missing
and no clue as to his whereabouts has
been obtained. He lives on North Ma.

A BLAZE AZ BEIpGErGRT.

Yesterday morning about ten o'clock
q fire broke out in the frame building
known as the "barracks," situated on
the National pike about four miles back
of Bridgeport. As the building is in a
somewhat isolated locality there was no
hope of eXtinguishing the flames from
the start and the building was entirely
consumed. a small frame tenement
house, just across the pike from the
barracks" was also gnited and was
likewise totally destroyed. The origin
of the fire is not known, but is supposed
to have been caused by spontaneous
combustion. The st. Clairsville train
on the c., L. Il w. road happened to ar
rive while the fire was at its height, and
as the track is not more than fifteen
feet away. the windows of the coaches
had to be lowered and the engineer,
putting on all steam, dashed through
the fire and smoke in safety. The
burned building belonged to the Burley
estate. and were worth little.

The Rev. MacOueary is still Publishing
His Queer Doctrines.

81. Louis, Mo, April 30.-In the
course of a lecture last night Rev. How
ard MacQueary, under six months SuS-
ppnsion from the Episcopal ministry,
Said that Christianity had been evolved
from inferior degrees Of intelligence,
inst As TN, human form had been eyolv-
ed from inferior materials. As to the
soul. he reasoned that it was real
thing. and not a source OF tleeting states
of consciousness. 1t was evolution from
inferior forces, and while animals had
Souls. they had not attained to or been
evolved as the soul of intelligent man,
which would survive forever.
Mr.. MacQueary reiterated his dlSbe-
lief in the divinity of Jesus, but he be-
heves in his spiritual intensity. From
the above it would seem that the Rev.
MacQueary will not re-enter the field Of
the Episcopal Church.
