neRe tea out Of our markets, because
the tea trade IS subject to varying in
huences that make tea statistics, TAX
ing them year by year, probably the
most irregular statistics chat appear
In our foreign trade returns The per
capita consumption Of tea shows the
same Irregularities. While the per
capita consumption Of coffee, or of
sugar, or OF alcoholic drinks, varies
comparatively little from one year to
another, that Of tea leaps up and down
Iii what seems an utterly arbitrary
fashion. Last year, for instance, our
people drank an average Of 1.34 pounds
each. The year before the figure was
.4 pounds; in 1901, LA pounds; in
1900, 100 pounds; in 1899, .9S pound;
in 1893, .93 pound, and in 1897, 1853
pounds. In 1870 the consumption was
IL pounds per capita; in 1850, "a
pound; in 1850, 1922 pounds; in 1910,
so pound, and in 1880, the earliest
year for which figures are available,
SIS pound. If the shipments from
Japan do continue to show a rapid in
crease the movement will be on a line
with the general movement of our
Japanese trade. The government bu-
reau Of statistics has just published
figures showing that while in 1900 we
purchased about one-quarter of Japan's
total exports, in 1902 our purchases
had risen to one-third. The absolute
gain was over 80 per cent-namely,
from a valuation of 52,56G,395 yen in
1900 to 9O,232, 9O5 yen In 1902.

It Is a wise American that can tell
his own national anthem. In the prlm-
airy school the American youth is
taught the words Of America" and
lifts his childish treble with the others
In chorused tribute to my country,
it's Of thee" A little later in his
career he learns that America" is the
British national air OF God Save the
King" and possibly becomes acquaint-
ed with the additional fact that the
British appropriated it from the patri-
otto music of an older nation. Then
the youthful American pins his faith
to 1.-The Star-Spangled Banner" with
Its almost impossible demands upon
the vocal organs and the memory. It
Is as an instrumental and not a vocal
selection, however, that he becomes
FAMILIAR with that patriotic air, with
Its highest notes scarcely within reach
OF the shrieking clarinet. In this day
and generation the patriot who wishes
to express his patriotism In song has
much difficulty to find any patriotic
composition expressive Of united ma
tional sentiment. Like THE Star
Spangled Banner" nearly all Of them
relate to a period or an incident and
the patriotic songs of the Civil War
simply add to the confusion. Amer
lea. continues to be held in esteem by
some because OF Its simplicity In words
and music. Anyone can learn and re-
member the air, while 1t is possible to
hold more than one stanza of the
words in memory. Others cling to 1.-THE
Star-Spangled Banner" although only
one person in 10000 can sing it and
only a prodigy can remember the
words. Hail, Columbia" and 1.-THE
Red, White and Blue" are also general
ly recognized as patriotic airs of ma
tional character. In the Southern
States Dixie" takes precedence ON all
occasions and its popularity in the
North has increased so rapidly Of late !
that the spirited piece also may be
classified as national. In our colonial
dependencies the favorite national"
air seems to be "a Hot Time In the Old
Town Tonight" but, Of course, our
subject islanders will learn of this
error in time. Although 1.-THE Star
Spangled Banner" is easily first in pop-
ular esteem, popular sentiment is not
unit In recognizing it as our national
nor has 1t been so recognized
officially. In the navy the custom has
been to play THE Star-Spangled Ban
ner" at morning colors and Hail, Co.
!umbia," in the evening when the col
ors are lowered. Henceforth "The
Banner" is to be olayed
OH shipboard at both morning and
evening colors. Possibly it is lust "a
we'll to abolish Hail, Columbia" for
official purposes. In view of the recent
events the name is unpleasantly sug-
sestive and, while the sentiment Of thu
Did song is inspiring, the air, which il
adapted to q funeral
march, is depressing. Hail, Columbia
hail and farewell. What Is needed now
