How to Make Ten.

More than half the Tea consumed in ths
United States and Canada is of japanese
growth, yet, the majority of Americans ap
parently do not understand how to prepare
it SO as to develop the delicious qualities
which it contains. The japanese Govern.
ment has appropriated large fund to aic
the japanese Tea growers and Tea mer
chants in prosecuting this educational work
and it is hoped that American ladies will
be apt students. The main Bureau of the
Japanese Tea Guild has issued an otiicia,,
recipe for making japanese Tea, the transla.
tion of which is as follows:
First-Use small, dry and thoroughly
clean porcelain teapot.
Second.-Put in one teaspoonful of tea
leaves for each cup of tea desired.
Third.-When using japanese teas, poui
on the required quantity of fresh boiled wa.
ter, and let stand with closed lid from
to 8 minutes. Never boil the leaves In
order to retain the natural flavor, japanese
tea leaves should be kept in tight can or
jar, free from moisture
Note.-To thoroughly enjoy the natural,
delicate and sweet flavor of japanese Teas,
neither sugar nor cream should be used.

a kind of Chinese money which is large

mention, although the traveller need not
trouble himself with it except as a curlosl-
ty. This is prepared for the special pur-
pose of burning at the graves of decreas-

The denzens of the other world are sup
posed to require and to be capable of re-

cash" large supply of silvered and
gilded pieces of paper, or of imitation
coins blocked out of cardboard
Although these have no purchasing
power on earth, they are supposed to
count for much in the transaction of the
spirit world. By this practice one is re-
minded of an old story of a miser, who
left his belongings to his son on condition
that certain sum of money should be
buried in the coffin with him. The son
was. however a chip of the Old block and
carried out his fathers wishes by placing
in the coffin q crossed check for the re-
quired amount assured that it had little
chance of being presented at his bankers

Baxley Banner: The movement to es-
tablish a city court Of Appling county and
abolish the county court received a de-
cided impetus at the hands of the men,
bers of the bar during court. BY this
means the length of the superior court
term can be reduced, as appeals from the
city court will go direct TO the supreme
court, instead of to the superior court.
The saving in time win result in lessen
ing the expenses of superior court, which
at present form no small part of the
county expenses.
Atlanta Journal: Mrs. L. H. Cox has
been awarded a verdict of S14 in her suit
for $1,000 damages against her neighbor,
T.. NJ. Chapman. The case has been on
trial for nine days in the superior court
before Judge J. H. Lumpkin and the jury
spent thirty hours in reaching a verdict.
1t is estimated that the cost of the trial
to the county will be not less than
500, and this does not include pay of
witnesses, the expense of serving sub
poenas and other items which the defend
ant will have to pay.
Lafayette Messenger: G. W.Wimpee has
a copy Of Morse's Geography published in
1912. At that time Georgia owned the Mis-
sissippi Territory, from which have since
been made the states of Alabama and Mis-
sissippi The state was divided into thir-
ty-eight counties, none of which included
any of the land north of the Chattahoo-
chez. The spelling of the name of this
river at that time was Chatta Hatcha.
The name of the Okefenokee swamp was
spelt Ouaquaphanoqua. The Creek In
dams inhabited the middle part of the
state and had a population of 5000, 5000
of whom were gun men.
There is said to be boycott in Madi-

subject. 1t says, among other things:
There are stores in Madison to-day that
were made vacant because their proprie
tors were prohibitionists. There are men
who refuse their patronage to merchants
because those merchants were active or
ardent advocates of the anti-barroom law.
There is a CLUB" in Madison whose mem-
bers must pay a fine every time they
are caught in company with prohibit
ZIONIST. There are men in Madison who
actually refuse to buy stamps from this
postoffice because the postmaster is a pro-
