More than half the Tea consumed in the
United States and Canada is of Japanese
growth, yet, the majority of Americans APP
parently do not understand how to prepare
1t 50 as to develop the delicious qualitiea
which it contains. The Japanese Govern
ment has appropriated a large fund to aid
the japanese Tea growers and Tea mer-
chants IN prosecuting this educational work.

be apt students. The main Bureau OF the
Japanese Tea Guild has issued an official
recipe for making Japanese Tea, the transla-
ton of which is as follows:
First.-Uss a 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, pour
on the required quantity Of fresh boiled wa
ter, and let stand with closed lid from 2
to 3 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.

The physicians of Memphis are
emphatic in declaring that there is
not the slightest danger of an cpl
demic of yellow fever. These
opinions are based upon large ex-
perlence and the facts that Memphis
Is in fine sanitary condition, the
lateness of the season and the cool
nights, are all deterrent to TIE vel
low pest, and that quarantine regu-
lations are based upon scientific
principles, and the case is isolated.
The Times agrees with these scien-
ttic gentlemen, and at this time
can see no reason for alarm. No
doubt, however, that hundreds OF
people will flee from Memphis as
from a plague in full effect, and
such wise and discreet regulations
should be set 10 motion here as
will protect the citizenship from
the possibility of the fever spread
ing to this town. Atpresent there
is no danger whatever, and no
cause for alarm.
