We decided the trouble was nervous

use of coffee.
HE said we must give up coffee and
we did ard tried Postum and it was
not long before the boy was fully re-
covered from his trouble.
s"Then we gave him coffee again
and it served him the same way but
when we once more shut off the cof-
fee and gave him Postum he got we'll
and is we'll tosSday and has no more
attacks of lock-jaw and no more fits.

Judge SimOnton's Funeral VIII BE
at His Home.

The Charleston News and Courier
dcVotes several columns to tributes 10
the late Judge SimOntOn from bar
and citizens. He had been q leading
citizen of Charleston many years and
been conspicuous in his interest in ed
ucation and as a leader of the bar.
From the special from Philadelphia
those extracts are taken:
'Dr. Allard Memminger, who has
long been Judge Simonton'S physician,
says that the judge suffered from a
chronic case of gastric catarTh. While
attending court in Raleigh he Suf-
fered, and feeling certain that he was
about to have a serious attack of his
old trouble Judge SimontOn, imme-
dately after the close of the court,
determined TO come to Philadelphia
and place himself in the hands of DR..
Wharton Sinkler, whom he had known
for some time. He was largely in
fluenced in his determination to come
to this city by the fact that the rail
road connections We're better than
those between Raleigh and Charles

TEAS TIL AT ARE
WORTH Fl FORTUNES
Twelve Hundred Kinds Are In china's
Show at the Worlds Fair...The Most
Popslous Nation Of Tie World For
the First Time Makes an Exhibit
Worthy Of Her Greatness.

Many expositions of stupendous char
acter make up the Worlds Fair of
1904. Each part is vast and distinct
show. Each building shelters many
acres Of wonderful things-wonderful
because they are the choicest OF their
kind. Every nation on the globe is
represented. Every state and territory
Is here with it's best and making the
most Of Its greatest opportunity.
The fact that China has not been a
large exhibitor at worlds fairs gives
to her great exhibit here prominence
quite exceptional. 1t is wonderland
of ingenious productions. We know
China best by reason of her extensive
exports Of teas, which have found a
vast market in the United States for
generations. Her commercial interests
therefore prompted her to make a dis
play of teas that we should not for
get.
In sealed glass Jars China displays in
the Liberal Arts Palace some 1000
kinds Of tea. Young Hyson and Old
Hyson have a string Of tea relations
longer than the genealogical chain Of a
Plymouth Rock. They are neatly &C.
lected CHOPS" in the language of the
tea farmer. and these classes do not
embrace medicinal teas, which are
quite another lot in the rather modest
number of 400.
The teas exhibited vary in price from
q few cents pound to some rare and
exclusive kinds that are worth their
weight in gold, the tea in the latter
cases being placed on one side of the
scales and pure gold on the other
that is to say, the tea Of this expensive
kind is worth about $40 gold an ounce.
Only n very small quantity Of this ex-
elusive leaf is exhibited. and it is
grown in carefully guarded tea planta-
lions or gardens right under the shad-
ows Of the great wall of China. Its cul-
tivation is prohibited for any use save
for the imperial family of China and a
few Of the favored high officials.
Mention has been made of the word
"chop" in connection with tea. and it
may be interesting to the everyday
reader to know what the word actually
signifies. The tea leaf is grown in va
rious districts of the Chinese empire on
