The cyclone which ragged around
Moscow on June %. causing great loss
of life and tremendous damage TO
property, was a storm such as is sell
dom seen in Russia. At intervals hail
of unusual size fell-some stones as
large as hens egg-and the wind
blew with terrific force.
Almost the first that suffered was
the historical Annenhonsky Grove.
which eye-witnesses say was levelcd
to the ground as if by word of COM
mand. This grove was called into be-
ing bv the Empress Anna. One day
from her balcony she remarked,
What beautiful spot-if only there
was grove here"
Next morning on going to her VIM
dow she beheld a grove The Duke oe
Blron had given orders that in the
night all the trees in the neighbor-
hood should be transplanted there
So, in a single night, the Annen-
hoffsky Grove was planted Last week
it was destroyed in a second.-Londou

TEA GOOD AND BAD
A Queer Case OF Confusion Arising
Among London Experts in
Case in Court.

Much amusement was created in a
London court room recently by the dis
comfiture Of two amateur tea-tasters,
who selected as the best tea the one Ct
ghich they had been complaining. One
Of the tea experts concerned in the case
said afterward, reports the New York
World. that the mistake was nothing to
wonder at. because the general public
has absolutely no tea taste left now.
What an expert would consider fine
sample of delicious tea. and pay high
price for the public would consider
worthless stuff and refuse it at any
price.
This change is due to gradual cutting
of prices having caused coarse Ceylon
tea to be resorted to. stuff with plenty
of tannin in it. Professional tasters do
not often taste that class Of lea. They
never swallow ii if they TO take any
They judge by the aroma and the ap-
pearance Of the tea in the cup. It Is
quite an art In making. the water
is never allowed to boil either long or
a second time; the moment il boils the
kettle is taken OF the gas and the tea
is made. After brewing for seven min
utes the tea is poured out into cups
and stands until cold.
Ceylon and india teas when cold
become somewhat sirupy. and cloud over
just as though milk had been poured
in. China tea never clouds
After standing for an hour or so
ring forms on the inside Of the cup
where the top of the tea touches; that
IS the tannin. and is never seen IN China.
and rarely in Darjeeling teas. From
these signs and the tea color the faster
tells whether the tea will suit his mar

Joplin Miners Took Them An.

The visiting Miners from Joplin took
the third successive game from the
Vinita Braves at Sportsman's Park
yesterday afternoon by a score of 6 to
/. The game, which was exceptionally
fast and furious at times, was one Of
the best ever witnessed here. The
game was hotly contested and was
won by the visitors wholly through
their superior batting qualities. The
next game on the local grounds will
be played Sunday, when strong ag-
gregation from CRANKY will give the
Braves another excellent opportunity
to show their mettle. The Frisco
railroad has arranged to run an excur-
sion from CRANKY to this point, and
it is expected large crowd of root
ers' will accompany the Granbyites.
