TEAS AND TEAS.
Things Once Used or Now Used as substi-

OF course every one knows that we
drink a good deal that ism t tea when
we drink a cup Of tea. We drink-or
are supposed to drink-some tea, some
lead and some straw. But there are sew
eral 'teas" that the drinkers know are
not made of tea leaves and yet are not
adulterated.
In Peru they drink mate a tea made
from the Hex paraguensis, a species of
holly. This is the only mate tea, but
there is Brazilian tea, gorgonha, call
ed mate there; another tea used in Aus
tria, called Brazilian tea, and several
other so called mate teas are made from
different varieties of the lex In Lab
rador they make tea from two species
of ledum. Oswego tea was made from
the scarlet mouarda, and mountain tea
from the dwarf evergreen, Gaultheria
procumbens. Then clover tea and tansy
tea and catntp tea and mint tea are
used, though not as beverages.
In Sumatra they use coffee leaves to
make tea out of, and the beverage is
said to be very refreshing. In Mauritius
the leaves of an orchid, Angroecum
fragrans, are used. The Tonquinese
have teas of their own. made of leaves,
berries, banks and woods. The Abys-
sinians make tea out of the leaves of
the Catha edulis When a sentinel can t
leave his post to get cup of tea, he
can chew leaf or two Of this plant,
and he won't feel like going to sleep
all night. In Tasmania there are said
to be more than 200 substitutes for tea;
in England they used to make tea of
sage, betony or rosemary and of rasp-
berry leaves; in France they use black
currant leaves and borage to make tea,
and century or SO ago they gathered
in English gardens and fields ash, elder
and sloe leaves, and the leaves of white
thorn and blaokthorn, out of which tc
make tea So it is evident that there
are teas and teas. New York Sun.

Railroad and Transportation Company,
rented the steamship City of Seattle last
fall for 81 800 a month. She carries 625
passengers and 400 tons of freight, and

PROCTOR TALKS PLAINLY.
Vermont Senator Tells the Senate of
His Trim fn Cuba.

Senator Proctor Thursday afternoon
made the strongest argument in favor of
Intervention in behalf of Cuba that has
ever been made in the Senate. Never
were the members of The SenaI4 50 deeply
impressed. Mr.. Proc or made no attempt
for oratorical effect. He had carefully
prepared his address. and he delivered it
to the Senate as an official report of what
he had observed in Cuba. He gave no
opinion as to what action should be taken
by this Government He said the settle
ment may well be left to an Americsr
President and the American people" But
while he did not make a recommendation
in so many words, he left the impression
with all who heard him that he favored a
declaration by this Government of the in
dependence of Cuba. He declared that
he was opposed to annexation, and, while
many Cubans advocated the establish
ment of protecterate by the United
States. he could not make up his mind
that this would be the best way out of
the difficulty. He told his associates that
he believed the CubanS capable of gov
erning themselves. and re-enferced this
statement by the assertion that the Cuban
population would never be satisfied with
any government under Spanish rule
81 There. was really nothing new in what
he said. The same facts nave been pre-
sented time and again by newspaper cor
respondents, and have been denounced as
faisehoods. The point of theil pfssenta-
uon Thursday was that they were detail
ed by United States Senator as the re-
suit of his personal observations-of a
Senator, too, who went 70 Cuba strongly
prepossessed with the idea that the condi-
uon OF the concentrates had been greatly
exaggerated, and who came back and de-
clared that the scenes he had witnessed
were absolutely indescribable. 1aaas

TO state athat he had not formed nor ex-]
pressed any opifi.n1 on the subject of her

he asserted, was an utter faflnre. 1t came

Economists. The rebels possessed the east
OF the island, and even in the west the
Spanish nrmy held Just what it sat upon
and no more. aare 5a.z ~
From many view points the statement
was renarkable 1t had evidently been
most carefully prepared. Every element
OF sensationalism had been studiousIy
eliminated from it and, except so far as
the facts reeited were sensational, II bore
not the slightest evidence OF an effort to
arouse the public mind, already keenly
alive to the condition Of. affairs on the
island.

with range of twelve and one-half miles.
The eleven-inch guns are mounted one

guns. The projeetiles employed weigh
about seventy pounds, and the rate of fire
is about twelve shots per minute.
The big Spanish battle ship Pelayo is
reported as being at La Seine. opposite

HORSES GOING ON BOARD AT SEATTLE

freight Freight rates are as follows: To
Fort Wrangel, So a ton of 1000 pounds,
or of 40 cubic feet at the ships option; to
Juneau, 50 per ton; to Haines' Mission,
Skaglla.- and Dyea, S13 per ton; horses,
S35 Iser head; dogs, $3.50 per head. This
does not include landing charges at the
port ,of destination.
Another suggestion may be timely: All
vessels don't leave Seattle or Tacoma on
schedule time. Some of the old tubs delay
as long as ten days or two weeks. They
do this because it takes so long to stop
the cracks in the hull and fix rotten ma
chsnery or rigging. With them it's a
clear case of paying your money and tax
ing your chances-both of starving and
getting there.
