Time To Get Busy.

Chicago Live Stock World, Aug. 1o:-
Developments OF the past week indicate
that conditions in packingtowu do not
favor the cause of the strikers.
Packers are displaying an ability to
handle more live stock daily. Doubt
less valuable y.product is being tanked.
What of it? If they can break in new
men to the difficult task of killing, pack
ers will soon demonstrate an ability to
take care of the offal.
This strike may he dragged out in
definitely but the idle men cannot win it.
This fact becomes more evident daily.
This is a favorable opportunity to 60 to
work. The army OF strike breakers will
soon disappear from Packingtown when
the regulars show disposition to take
their places.

Thackeray as a Critic.

1t cannot be contended that Thack-
cray was great critic. Indeed, there
is not doubt that, as a rule, he prefer
red second rate books Of the first class
to the greatest For instance, while,
as n matter Of course, he admitted that
Milton was great poet, he added that
"he was such bore that no one could
read him." Whatever one may think
of the discernment of a man who says
that, it is impossible to doubt his hon
esty. He was often led away by the
character Of the author whose works
he was criticising. He dlsapproved Of
Swift and Sterne and rather grudging-
ly admitted their qualities, but he
gladly praised Pope, whom he loved
because Of his infirmity and because
of the love the poet bore his mother.
His judgments came from the heart
rather than the intellect. 1t was for
tunate when these coincided.-Lewis
Melville in Fortnightly.

ELEVEN PERSONS KILLED AND
A HUNDRED INJURED IN ST.
PAUL AND VICINITY.
PROPERTY DAMAGE IN STRICKEN
DISTRICT IS ESTIMATED At
FULLY TWO MILLIONS.
ADDITIONAL CASUALTIES OCCUR
IN VARIOUS OTHER PARTS
OF THE NORTHWEST.

st. Paul, Aug. 22.-Eleven dead, 104
Injured and property loss of over
$2,000,000 is a verified record of the
damage inflicted by the cyclone which
passed over st. Paul and vicinity Sat
urday night, leaving in its path a
scene of desolation and a calamity
stricken people.
In this city 3 persons are dead and
43 injured; in Minneapolis / man is
dead and IA persons injured; in Waco
MIA are dead and 20 injured, and in
st. Louis Park 8 are dead and rs in
jured. The list of victims is as fol-
lows:
St. Paul-George Keaton, aged sew
enteen; Lourien 8. Johanson, aged
twenty-five; Viola Robertson, aged
twelve.
Minneapolis-Alfred w. Hilgedick,
operator at Minneapolis Junction,
struck by lightning.
Waconia-August Moy, forty years
old; Mrs. August Moy, thirty-eight
years old; Baby Moy, one year old;
Robert Lohman, thirty-nine years old.
st. Louis Park-Albert Ohde, saloon
keeper; John Hedger, six years old;
Anna Hodge.
The damage to property is estimated
at over $2,OOO,OO0, divided as follows:
St. Faul, $l.UOU,0OO; Minneapolis, $780,
900; st. Louis Park, $i5,OOO; Waconia,
$4,000; Saltwater, 100000; outside
districts, s50O,000.
High Bridge Partially Destroyed.
The greatest single property loss at
st. Paul was the destruction of two
spans Of the high bridge, burden
which will fall upon the city at large.
The other damage is distributed
among thousands of residences and
hundreds of business houses.
The storm confined it's area mainly
to the localities where fatalities are
reported, although Saltwater reports
loss of 100000. In both st. Paul
and Minneapolis the business districts
suffered severely, several wholesale
houses being unroofed and hundreds
of plate glass windows being blown
In, causing immense damage to stocks.
In the residence district of St. Paul,
principally in Lower Town and Ar
ungton Hills, many houses are COM
damaged.
In Minneapolis, considering the in
tensity Of the storm, the residence dis
tricts of the city escaped with COM
paratively slight damage. Although a
few structures were unroofed and the
contents Of the buildings drenched
with water as rule the people Of
these districts suffered no great loss.
At Waconia, Of the 100 houses, resi-
dences and stores, seventy are more
or less demolished and in the country
for strip one-half mile in width ex-
tending four miles along the Mime
apolis and St. Louis tracks east and
west there is scarcely building stand
Ing.
At st, Louis Park nearly all of the
large manufacturing establishments
were more or less wrecked and houses
were razed to the ground. The heaviest
loser is T. B. Walker, the Minneapolis
capitalist, who owns most of the twen-
ty houses which were overturned and
some Of the manufacturing buildings.

TEAS THAT ARE
WORTH FORTUNES
Twelve Hundred Kinds Are In China's
Show at the Worlds Fair...The Most
POpulOus 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. livery nation on the globe is
represented. Every state and territory
is here with its best and making the
most Of its greatest opportunity.
The fact that China has not been q
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
vast market in the United States for
generations. Her commercial interests
therefore prompted her to make 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
lectcd "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
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 $50 gold an ounce.
Only very small quantity of this cx-
elusive leaf Is exhibited, and it is
grown in carefully guarded tea planta-
tions 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
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

whose origin Is traced back to the first
wave Of Malay invasion. Here, again.
we have scanty clothing, amounting
almost to nudity, but copper colored
skins, long wavy tresses, pleasant fea-
tured faces and fine physiques, even
though the stature be small. Among
these pagan Malays are the head hunt
ers and the dog eaters. They are saw
ages, yet have their code of laws and a
knowledge of several primitive indus
tries.
The Christian Malays, produced by
the second wave of invasion, are rep
resented by the Visayans, a tall and
handsome race, dressing well, living in
pretty homes, skilled in weaving, dye
ing, basket making, hat making, wood
carving and other handicrafts, musi-
clans of no mean merit, the one group
Of natives who came early and thor
oughly under the influence Of the early
Spanish settlers.
Very different are the Moros, who
swept into the islands from the Malay
peninsula last Of all, bringing with
them their Mohammelan religion, also
a knowledge of gunpowder acquired
with the Koran from the Arabs-fana-
tics like their teachers, pirates, blood
thirsty. treacherous and vindictive fel-
lows, ever at war among themselves
and with the whole outside world. De-
spite their ferocity they are clever
race, dress handsomely, have their sui
tans and their slaves and are expert
seamen, while long continued pillage
on the high seas has surrounded them
with many of the luxurics and conven-
fences Of western civilization.

ry and Fisheries show all the varied

RIGS from the just, banana and pine
apple fibers. This information is collat-
ed in the Building Of Commerce, where
a unique and most effective method Of
exhibiting Is followed. In one hall are
samples Of all the articles produced for
export, among which manila fiber, Of
course, holds the chief place of prom
inence, while In a second hall are all
the manufactures from every country
that are imported and find a ready
market among the populace. Thus the
business man gets dual lesson. He
sees what he can profitably take from
the islands, and also what he may
profitably send to them. When it is
added that large number of represent
ative Filipinos have been brought over
to visit the Exposition and study Amer
can business methods and manufac-
lures, it will be recognized that great
benefit both to the islands and to the
world at large must result from this
work Of mutual enlightenment.

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 like number of
'chops" Of ten.
1t must not be imagined that all these
different owners Of the tea get the
same price for their commodity
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 OCCASIONAL ten 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 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 II cents, the lowest, to
49A 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 flavOrs.
