Not the least serious effect Of me

Of Mongolia. Allyn khan, the Golden
Khan.e as he was called on a friendly
mission. says a Moscow writer N the
Chicago Daily News.
StarkoH's mission returned in au-
tumn. and the cars curiosity was Al
once aroused by the account he re-
ceived Of the new beverage 'taehai,
as it was called. He ordered il to be
prepared at once and was charmed
with its odor and flavor But though
the new drink found favor at court the
people could not be persuaded TO adopt
it. They believed that it would slowly
poison them, or. at least. deprive them
Of their wits-no difficult matter said
wicked swede when he heard the
story.
The Russian authorities. however,
were determined that their subjects
should drink the new beverage and I'M
bibe less vodka, but even then whole
century elasssa before the population
Of Russia was induced to use the
strange Chinese drink

any other agency.
A hundred and fifty years ago Rus
sia entered into trade relations with
China. Among all the treaties made
tho importation Of tea was specially
mentioned. When the Russian enyoys
