large areas of ground which are often
mistaken for single plantations This
Is hardly ever the case, ns 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 80
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 ten.
1t must not be imagined that all these
different owners of the tea get the
same price for their commodity-fnr
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 Fu-
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 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 a price accordingly,
from which there Ii never any varta-
ton and which the ten grower must &C
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
1917 cents. the highest, per pound
among sixty-one different ten produ-
rers. 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 onler to produce
special flavors.

Lion signs In England.

In the middle ages the country houses
Of the nobility In England when the
owners were absent were used as hos
tells for travellers. The family arms al
ways hung in front OF the house, and
gave It popular name among travel
ers, who called lion "gules" or azure
simply red" or blue" AS these were
limitations of good cheer and enter
tainment, innkeepers adopted the Idea.
Lions have always been, and are
now, VERY favorite signs in England;
lions white, black. red, brown. golden,
yellow-red being the most common.
Probably the Rcd Lion originated
with the badge Of John Of Gaunt duke
of Lancaster, who married the daugh-
ter OF Don Pedro, king of Leon and
CASTLE, and who adopted the lion ram
pant guies OF Leon TO represent his
claim TO the throne. Under Richard
and John Hons became the settled
arms Of England, and were generally
used by those who could find any

A Perfect NoSo.

Nothing is more rare than a really
perfect nose-that is, one which unites
harmony Of form, correctness of pro
portion and proper affinity with the
other features.
The following are, according to the
rules Of art, the conditions requisite to
the beauty OF this organ:
The nose should have the same length
as the forehead and have n slight de-
preston at its root. From Its root to
It's extremity 1t should follow per
fectly straight line, and come exactly
over the center of the upper lip, The
bridge Of the nose, parallel on both
sides, should be a little wider In the
center. The tip should be neither too
thin nor too fleshy, and Its lower out
line neither narrow nor too wide The
lobes must be gracefully defined by a
slight depression Seen sideways, the
lowest part OF the nose will have but n
third Of It's totAl length.

Show at the Worlds Fair.-.The Most
Populous Nation of the World For
the First Time Makes an Exhibit
Worthy Of Her Greatness.

Many expositons of stupendous char

acres Of wonderful things-wonderful
because they are the choicest of their
kind. Every nation on the globe Is
represented Every state and territory

most of its greatest opportunity
The fact that China has not been q
large exhibitor ut worlds fairs gives
to her great exhibit here a prominence
quite exceptional. 1t Is u 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 lis
