large areas Of ground which are often
mistaken for single plantations. This
is hardly ever the case, as the large
tracts are very often owned by hun
dreds of different men, whose individ-
ual plots of ground bearing the tea
plants are carefully mapped out, so
that each individual owner may cult
vate and pick his own crop of tea.
Each owner likewise markets his own
tea and puts his own special mark, or
"chop," on the packages. Hence the
term "chop" signifies an individual
growth or picking Of tea by one owner.
In an area of tea land Of, say, thou
sands acres, all apparently under one
ownership, there may be some forty,
fifty or more owners Of the plantation
and consequently a like number of
"chops" Of tea.
It must not be imagined that all these
different owners of the tea get the
same price for their commodity-far
from it, as each of these individual tea
growers has his own secrets for i'm
proving the quality and flavor of tea.
Take, for instance, the Annoy and Flu
chau districts, whence most Of the tea
for the United States comes. The own
ers Of "chops" Of tea varying from 10
to 200 chests Of Sc pounds each bring
samples Of their goods to the various
foreign merchants for sale. These lat
ter turn the Chinese tea growers over
to the good Offices of the foreign or
American professional tea faster, who
passes on the goods as to price. The
tea faster has the samples infused, not
boiled, in his presence and passes upon
the quality, flavor, twang and manner
Of curing, fixing a price accordingly,
from which there is never any varia-
ton and which the tea grower must &C.
cept or go elsewhere to dispose of his
wares. In a single tract Of tea land
like the one cited above the price has
ranged from IA cents, the lowest, to
4S1a cents, the highest, per pound
among sixty-one different tea produ-
GERS. A matter Of great moment that
also figures in the price of tea is
that very often tea from the same dis
trict will have the various "chops"
blended together in order to produce
special favors.

Matter Referred to Picking.
Shanghai, Aug. 23.-John GoOdnow,
the United States consul general, who
is dean of the consular corps, presid-
ed at the meeting of the foreign con-
suls held here. All foreign countries
with cOnsulates here were represented.
M. Odagiri, the Japanese consul, and
M. Kleinmenoff, the Russian consul,
were il ATTENDANCE. NJ. Odagiri left a
Sick bed to attend the meeting. He
made a vigorous protest against the
presence of the Russian cruiser and
torpedo boat destroyer in Shanghai
harbor and declared that China had
failed in her duties as a neutral pow
err. He asserted that the Japanese
had the right to take the step of en-
terine the harbor and Selling the two
vessels. The attitude of. NJ Odagiri
was warlike and uncompromising.
NJ. Kleinmenoff protested against the
entering of the harbor Sunday by
Japanese torpedo boat destroyer, and
insisted upon the right Of the two
Russian warships in question to re-
main and repair damages.
A suggestion made by the British
consul to refer the entire matter to
\ Peking was adopted. In the meantime
the work on the Askold is to cease for
forty-eight hours, and no further steps
are to be taken by the consuls. who
will await instructions from the re-
spective governments. 1t was unani-
mously decided by the consuls that
China cannot shirk her responsibility
as a neutral state by handling this
matter over to the consuls for adj
juStment.

reasons.
1.-THE assault of July 80 was made
in the dark of night, in the hope Of
surprising the Russians. Sixty thou
sand men were hurled against our 49,,

and again at the point of the bayonet.
The Japanese poured in fresh battal-
ions, and the slopes, covered with the
dead and the dying, literally ran with
blood. AS near as can be ascertained
this assault cost the Japanese 10000

TEAS THAT ARE
WORTH FORTUNES
Twelve Hundred Kinds Are In China
Show at the Worlds Fair===The Most
POpuIOus Nation of the 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-wonderfu
because they are the choicest Of their
kind. Every nation on the globe is
represented. Every state and territory
is here with its best and making the
most Of it's greatest opportunity.
The fact that China has not been a
large exhibitor at worlds fairs gives
to her great exhibit here a 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 1900
kinds Of tea. Young Hyson and Old
, Hyson have string Of tea relations
longer than the genealogical chain of a
Plymouth Rock. They are neatly Sc
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
a 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 500 gold an ounce.
Only very small quantity Of this ex-
elusive leaf is exhibited, and it is
grown in carefully guarded tea planta-
tons or gardens right under the shad-
ows Of the great wall Of China. It's cul-
tivation is prohibited for any use save
for the imperial family Of China and
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

DIVORCE LAWS LESS RIGOROUS
Russia Makes Change in Which Public
Penance Is One of the
Elements.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 23.-The rigor
of the divorce laws, which formerly
did not allow guilty husband or wife
to marry again except. after seven
years irreproachable conduct, has been
modified by the holy synod making the
period two years in case the offenders
agree to do public penance according
to the direction Of their bishops.
The newspapers hail this modiica-
ton as being step in the right direc-
ton, and express the hope that the
Draconian laws governing divorce,
which date back to the Byzantine
epoch, will be further amended in con-
formity with the requirements Of mod
ern life.
