ORIGINAL COMPOSITION.

Tea Its Cultivation and Preparation.
by Mayme James, 9Th grade A.
The ten plant is raised from seeds which
are sown in March, after being kent
in moist soil the previous winter
They are planted out in their growing
quarters when they. are one year old.
No leaves are plucked for the first three
years but the plants are kept cut down
10 the height OF three or four feet
The first cropping takes place the
fourth year, and after this there are
three crops Of leaves every year as long
as the tree lives
Two very interesting points about
the tea plants must be noticed First,
the tea plant, when freshly picked,
has neither the odor nor flavor with
which we ae familiar These are de-
veloped by tine after treatment The
different qualities of tea are made
from the same leaves by varying the
mode Of preparation.
There c-1ch care taken in pickiug
che leaves Each must be picked sep
arately with the finger and thumb, to
avoid injuring the leaves or the young
shoots of the plant -
The first picking takes place in April !,
This crop consists Of the tender
leaves of spring. They produce the fin
est and most delicate teas of the year
The second picking takes place about
a month later, the leaves being larger,
and darker. aud not so rich in flavor.
The last crop takes place when the
leaves have grown their full size.
They, are then more bitter and woody,
and have very little Of the flavor Of the
earlier crops
The last two crops furnish most Of
the tea sent out of China for the Chi
nese rarely part with the first crops.
but keep Jnem for themselves. and
their friends
One acre of ground will have about
two hundred plants, and the yearly
crop is from two hundred fifty TO three
hundred pounds OF tea. The women
alone pick the first crop but even the
children help in the later pickings.
The first step in the preparation of
the leaves is to expose them to the ac-
tion Of the sun and air. For this pur-
pose they are laid on mats. or in shall
low baskets, and stirred every now
aud then. When dried they are thrown
on a Hat table ana lightly rolled The
next step is TO put them ID small, guam
Titles into an iron pan over charcoal
fire, to complete the WORK Of drying,
While in the pan they are constantly
stirred 20 keep them from scorchine.
Then they me quickly thrown on the
table. where men rub them while rhey
are still hot m the best tea each leaf
is rolled or twisted separately, giving
"a more delicious odor and flavor
The tiunl process is 90 throw the roll
cd leays again into the pan. over the
charcoal fire aud carefully roast them,
SO az to drive off every particle Of
moisture
Nothing now remains but 90 sift
and sort the tea and pack IL In chests
lined with lead foil for the market.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

largest sale Of any medicine in the civ
ilized world. Your mothers and your
grandmothers never thought Of using
anything else for indigestion or bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard Of appendicitis. nervous
prostration or heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of un-
digested food, regulate the action Of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and

all they took when feeling dull and

was made up as follows:

ton.
The Clement ticket received 2S6
votes against 2S0 for the Mccullough
ticket. The reason for this result is
not hard to find. Many Republicans
who favor Mr.. Mccullough for Gov
ernor and who felt over confident that
high license ticket could not be
elected, stayed at home, while the
Clement and high license forces were
out in full force.
