True Way TO Make Tea.

Luwuh, a poet, saw in the tea serv-
ice the same harmony and order which
reigned through all things. In his cell
ebrated work the "Cha-king" Che
Holy Scripture Of Teal he formulated
the code of tea. He has since been
worshiped as the tutelary god of the
Chinese tea merchants.
In the fifth chapter Luwuh describes
the method Of making tea. He dwells
on the much-discussed question of the
choice of water and the degree of boil
ing 1t. According to him, the mountain
spring is the best, the river water and
the spring water come next in the or
der of excellence. There are three
stages of boiling; the first boil is when
the little bubbles like the eye Of fishes
swim on the surface; the second boil
is when the bubbles are like crystal
beads rolling in fountain; the third
boil is when the pillows surge wildly
in the kettle. The cake tea is roasted
before the fire until it becomes soft
like a baby's arm and Is shredded into
powder between pieces Of fine paper.
Salt is put in the first boil, the tea in
the second. At the third boil, dip
perfui Of cold water is poured into the
kettle to settle the tea and revive the
youth of the water" Then the bev-
erage was poured into cups and drunk.

HUDSON BAY COMPANY PROFITS
Rise in the Value of Furs Helped to
Swell Last Years Total.


Swell Last Years Total.
Large sums of money have been
made in the last few months by Lord
Strathcona and other prominent share
holders of the Hudson Bay Company,
now 235 years old, as a result of the
profits arising from the vast land
sales of the company and the increase
in the number and values of the furs
handled by its agents in the far North
In the twelve months ended May 81,
the trading profits on furs, etc.,
amounted to f1O2, 1863, compared with
f9S.934 for the previous year, and
after setting aside 100000 to the credit
of the building account the balance Of
the land account for the year amount
ed to f1S7, 1864, as against f179,047.
The progress in the company's af-
fairs is illustrated by the fact that
the land sales in Western Canada
have increased from 64,59S acres in
1900 to 36S,676 In 1903. The total net
profit from both lands and furs in
1901 was but f6S,537, while in 1903 it
amounted to f319,S5S. Prices of furs
materially assisted this increase, their
values going up from ~ per cent in
the case of white fox to 20 per cent
for ermine
It is not unusual for the skin of
sea otter to sell for $500. while re-
markably good ones may sell for four
or even five times that price. These
are now very scarce. however. and
some seasons there are hardly any to
be had. In fact the animals are in
danger of determination. At The end
Of the eighteenth century they were
so abundant that 10000 skins a wear
were taken in the vicinity of the
Aleutian Islands.
The only skin which approaches the
sea otter In value Is that Of the black
or silver fox. These are chiefly found
in northern Canada, and when an In
dian hunter knows the whereabouts Of
a pair of these animals and protects
them he Is sure of comfortable liy-
ing out of the annual sale of a pair
of their progeny.
Good skins of the black fox have
been sold In St Petersburg at from
81 500 to $4,000. A pair Of silver skins
in London sold for $1,000. while a sin
gle skin often brings $1,000. The white
and blue Arctic foxes are in great de-
mand. and seem to be increasing in
value. The pelt Of the white fox.
which few years ago was only worth
from 81 to 81, now sells for SIG 10 S25,
while the price of the blue fox skin
runs from $50 to 75.-Correspondenc

Money for a Holiday.

An ingenious scheme to obtain
money for holiday has just been put
into operation by Edwin Waikiki
with disastrous results to himself.
After delivering goods to and collect
ing money from a number of custom
ers, Walkin, who was an employe of
the Stratford Cooperative and Indus
trial Society, Limited, walked into Lea
Bridge police station and informed the
police that he had been robbed in the
street by a man who knocked him
down and bolted with a bag Of money
about fS 6s in all.
A Deceive who investigated the az
fair came to the conclusion that the
real thief was Walkin himself.
I'll tell the truth" said Walkin
when taken back to the police station.
II met Joseph Smith Ia former en-
ploye Of the stores) in the morning,
and after we had delivered the goods
l gave Smith all the money with the
bag. l then hit myself on the nose
and made it bleed, ard Smith pren-
ised to meet me tomorrow morning.
The whole of what said about being
hit by man and being robbed was
a Iie."
Smith. when arrested, said: II hid
f7 los near a tree over at Chingford- y
The police went to the spot indicated
and there found the money.
Before the Stratford magistrate
walkin pleaded that he had no money
for the holidays. Both men were sent
to prison for three weeks.-London

Physicians Give Free Advice by Which

It's a matter of general interest just
now how ones physical condition can be
got into shape to best receive the benefits
of the summer season. Especially Is this
true of the children. They have become
run down by a winter of unnatural man
ner of living because of ill-considered
food and much time spent indoors.
Spring comes with its sunshine, its fresh
vegetables and all else invigorating, but
the children are in no condition 10 re-
ceive natures remedies.
Many parents call in the family physi-
clan. Many other parents take adyan-
tage OF what the physician told them
when he was first called in consultation.
All good family physicians say: Give
the children Castoria." Healthy parents
know this remedy of old, for they took
1T themselves as children. 1t was more
than thirty years ago that Castoria made
a place for itself in the household. 1t
bore the signature of Charles H. Fletch-
er then. as it does to-day. The sigma
ture is its guarantee. which is accepted
in thousands of homes where there are
children.
Much is printed nowadays about big
families. DR.. William /. Mccain of
Omaha, Neb., is the father Of one OF
these much-read-about families. Here Is
what he says:
As the father of thirteen children l
certainly know something about your
great medicine, and aside from my own
family experience | have, in my years
of practice, found Castoria a popular and
efficient remedy in almost every home
Charles II. Fletcher has received hum
dreds of letters from prominent physi-
clans who have the same esteem for Cas-
toria that DIR. Mccain has. Not only
do these physicians say they use Castoria
in their own families, but they prescribe
it for their clients. First of all it is
vegetable preparation which assimiiates
the food and regulates the stomach and
bowels. After eating comes sleeping, and
Castoria looks out for that, too. 1t al.
lays feverishness and prevents loss OF
Sleep and this absolutely without the use
of opium, morphine or other baneful mar
cotic.
Medical journals are reluctant to dis
cuss proprietary medicines. Halls Jour
nal of Health, however, says: Our duty
is to expose danger and record the
means for advancing health The day
for poisoning innocent children through
greed or ignorance ought to end. To our
knowledge Castoria is a remedy which
PRODUCES composure and health by regu-
lating the system, not by stupefylng It,
and our readers are entitled to the In

MISTAKES IN ENCYCLOPEDIAS
The Great Care Required in Their Re-
vision.

VISION.
o. c. Vico, in Success Magazine
says: Few people know what an
enormous amount of work and what
a great expenditure of money are re-
quired to make or even revise a large
encyclopedia that will meet the de-
mands of modern times. When the
first edition (Which is quite largely a
revised edition) is completed, the pub
fishers and editors Immediately go to
work to give every volume a thorough
revision, which will take a longer or
shorter time according to the number
of volumes in the set and the num-
gagged in the work. Until recently it
has been customary among publishers
of encyclopedias not to give set a
thorough revision until five years af-
ter the completion of the first edition,
thus giving the readers plenty of time
to lombard the work.
BY the time the first edition is COM
pleted the numerous editors, assistant
editors and proofreaders, who for a
couple of years or more have been en-
gagged in the work of producing the
encyclopedia, have been considerably
reduced in number. Those remaining
are to carry on the work of revision.
Even with very great care in editing,
mistakes will, as pointed out, always
occur in a publication of this magni-
tude, especially in the first edition.
Therefore, a thorough revision imme-
diately upon the completion of the first
edition is absolutely necessary. AS an
encyclopedia is recording a great num-
Der of subjects that are constantly
changing, it follows that, in many re-
spects. it will quickly become out of
date-as soon as it is completed 1t
straightway begins to become obso-
lete, in many of its articles. In or
der, therefore, to keep the informa-
ton given as near up-to-date as posi-
BILE, frequent revisions are necessary,
although to the publishers they are
very expensive to make.
