The substitution of other leaves for
those of the tea plant is also more
common in England than in the United
States. Yet even in this country it is
well known that foreign leaves can
easily be detected by spreading out
few of the leaves from the bottom of
the teapot. The Immediate, spear-head-
like shape of the tea leaf, together with
its serrated margin, distinguishes it
from that of any plant used to counter
feitit. Asarule facings can be detected
only by chemical tests. Green teas are
oftener adulterated than black teas.
Tea is often colored, and If the decoc-
ton made by the housekeeper. becomes

List Practically Unlimited.
The list of articles adulterated and
their authorizations is practically I'M
limited, as was stated by Prof. Wiley
in his testimony before the Congress
sional Committee. The adulteration of
coffee and tea will serve as types. 1t is
stated that most of the spices sold are
wholly fraudulent, a are most of the jel-
lies. Perhaps half of the alcoholic liquors
are prepared from neutral spirits doc
tored and colorcd to have the taste
and appearance of the liquor demand
ed by the consumer A type of this
adulteration is the recipe given for
pure country cider" 1t is: To each
gallon of water add one-half pound Of
granulated sugar, acidulate with tar
taric acid, and favor with oil of apple,
previously put in alcohol. color with
caramel, and to twenty gallons of the
mixture add two gallons of genuine
country cider.
Frequent cases have been reported
of late years of sickness arising from
the use of canned meats. The cause
seems mainly to have been improper

A Letter From Cuba.
CAIBARIEN, CUBA, Nov.

CAIBARIEN, CUBA, Nov. 49,
My Dear Grandpa and Aunt Eva
BY this time you have received our
letter describing our trip and how we
reached our new home.
Caibarien is very quiet towards
Havana, but noisy because the peo-
pie have the habit of speaking loud.
This is not the worst place in the
world, although the people are very
peculiar. just think of no girl being
allowed to walk on the street alone in
broad day light. Its true, the lower
class is very insolent. The colored
women (hired help that are old and
haggard go to the shops and market.
No Cuban lady of rank does her own
marketing
In the stores things are displayed in
ship shod manner, they have no taste
for beauty of arrangement.
On entering a grocery the first thing
that struck rue was the open boxes of
dry fruits, rice, ETC., with chickens
hopping wherever they pleased. Ar
ticles of food are purchased in small
amounts. Some things are reasonable
while the prices on others are enor-
nous. Apples cents each, cabbage
80 to 70 cents a head, potatoes 40 cents
peck, eggs 5 cents each, sugar, cents
pound, butter 80 cents pound.
Every morning the bread man comes
with bread. The bread is made in
round loaves and isn't very bad for
the conveniences they have. The
stoves are really brick shelves with
little CRATES. Charcoal is burnt al
together and makes a hot fire with no
smoke. The ovens are used very lit
tie in families, all buy bread and cake
for they need little of the latter.
Last evening we were invited to a
party, or voting contest for the most
popular young lady in town.
On entering the room the the gentle
men all stood till we passed. After
the votes were counted dancing was
INDUCED. OF all the motions they go
through in dancing it's enough to
make one smile. They seem to enjoy
it very much. The music is weird and
very fast.
| saw no Cuban or Spanish beau
ties. They are nothing but a bundle
OF powder and paint.
We Americans had our own table
out on the veranda and it seemed SO
home-like to converse, when we could
not hear the chatter of the natives.
This is all for this time. | hope you
are all we'll. Love to you and regards
to all. Your Grandchild.
