TEAS THAT ARE
WORTH FORTUNES
Twelve Hundred Kinds Are In Chlna's
Show at the Worlds falr-.-The Most
Populous Nation OF the World For
the First Time Makes an Exhibit
Worthy Of Her Greatness

Many expeditions Of stupendous char
! 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 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 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 a 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 n 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. 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 1t
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

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 like number Of
''ohops" Of tea.
1t must not be imagined that all these
different owners Of the tea get the
same price for their commodity-far
from II, as each Of these individual tea
growers has his own secrets for i'm
proving the quality and favor 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 SO 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 ac-
cept or go elsewhere to dispose of his
wares. In 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 tlavors

REASONS
Why our Vinol is the Greatest
Health Restorer and Strength
Creator Known to Medicine.

Because Vinol contains in a concen-
trated form ALL of the medicinal cur
alive elements found in cod liver oil,
but without drop Of oil to nauseate
and upset the stomach; therefore,
wherever old-fashioned cod liver oil or
emulsions will do good, vinol will do
far more good.
Because we have never sold anything
In our store equal to Vinol to restore
health and create strength for old peo-
pie, weak, sickly women and children,
nursing mothers, and after severe
sickness.
Vinol cures hacking coughs, chronic
colds, bronchitis, and all throat and
lung troubles.
A prominent physician writes:
"Vinol is the most palatable and
valuable preparation of cod liver oil
ever compounded. Inow use it entirely
In all cases where formerly depended
upon old-fashioned cod liver oil and
emulsions."
Try Vinol on our guarantee to return
your money if you are not satisfied.

the full membership of the Jackson
Lodge, Foresters of America, were in
line Sunday as the funeral procession

address over the remains of the young
man, who died far away from relatives
but surrounded by hosts of friends.

miners were moistened with tears as
they saw their fellow work man laid to
rest under the impressive ceremonies
of the union. The singing was very
effective both at the church and grave.

Amador Tent No. IS, K. o. T. NJ,

death OF our late brother another link

hour Of our common sorrow we can but

out of work the very men they are
sworn to befriend. But we uuhesi-
tating say that the statement is
not true. Side by side with the
unions 'no-work" proclamation, we
have seen the notice of the Fremont
Company calling for miners, and
generously stating that preference
would be given to residents of ANA
dor county. The company was
averse to hiring men from the out
side, if labor could be had within
the limits of the county. What a
contrast. Which side appeals to the
patriotic sen ntiment of the people?
No cause can be upheld by misrepre-

nation of mo workers" needed must
be impaled on one or other horn of
the dilemma. Whether the state
ment is true or false according to
the convictions of the individual, in
either case the verdict of condemna-
