OLDEST TEA rAs1eR DeAp.

fills Rare Judgment OF the FRAGRANT
Leaf Drew Salary OF $4,000.
Edward Farr, who was one Of the.
most expert tea tasters and buyers ot
the country, died at his home. Grad
Semple avenue, recently.
Mr.. Farr was nearly "a years Of age
and had been in the tea business ION
sixty-eight years. He was known
throughout Canada and the United
States as one Of the comparatively few
tea experts. In his prime he was
Jaster and buyer for the largest to,
houses in America. For years he com
mapded salary of $1,000 per ear, the
highest salary ever paid in this counI
try to man of his calling.
He was born In England, October 2Sy
1921, and came to the United States
when about 10 years of age. his
knowledge Of teas secured him employ
ntent as a faster and buyer, and for
years he was connected with the larR.
est tea houses Of the tea-growing coun-
tries in the interest of his firm. Be-
fore the Civil War he was in the tea
brokerage business for himself, and
was considered a man Of wealth. At
the close Of the war he came to st.
Louis and opened \ tea brokerage
business.
The last few years of his life he had
been engaged in selling tea and was
considered as good salesman as he
was a buyer. There was nothing in
the tea business that he did not know.
and he gave his customers the benefit
of his knowledge of teas. Every day
he drove over the city, visiting his Gus
toners. While advanced in years, he
was very active and attended to his
trade until two weeks before his death.
When boy Of IA, Mr.. Farr was ap
prenticed, after the British fashion 0
those. days, to a tea merchant in hi.
home town, London. There he was
given a most careful training In judg
ing teas by taste and appearance, and
within a few years after his appren
ticeshlp he came to New York and be
came a buyer and taStez Of teas for 4
great importing house.
For sixty-elght years he had TASTED
teas, practically every day, yet no IL
effects were felt by him. This h,
ascribed to the fact hat the tea faster
does not swallow The tea which h
takes into his mouth.
''If you swallow the tea" he wOult
say, you cannot taste it. It must b.

from the circumstance that they are compelled.
through fear of the maraudng expeditions OF
the Doomsmen, to surround their plantations
with defenCes of wooden palisades Civilization,
for no particular reason, appears to have slipped
back to the stage to which it had advanced in
the fourteenth century in England. The loves
of Doomsman for a daughter of the Stockaders
and of her brother for a maiden of Doom
furnish the romantic groundwork of the plot.
The story moves rapidly and with lively incident
to its climax The real hero of the book, the
young Stockader becomes possessed of some
valuable scientific treatises during a surrepti-
tious visit to Doom. in which he stumbles into
the deserted alcoves of the Public Library on
Bryant Square BY this means he rediscovers
the uses of gunpowder and electricity, and so is
enabled to wreak his vengeance on the Dooms-
men and to rescue his sweetheart There is
plenty of opportunity for the display of Mr..
Sutphen's imaginative powers, especially in his
descriptions of the heros adventures among the
grassgrown streets and wrecked and tottering
skyscrapers in the downtown district
Mr. Kenneth Browns North African romance
is entirely concerned with the heros efforts to
rescue an imprisoned American girl from the
harem Of the Emperor of Sirocco. Wildly i'm
probable this twentieth century Arabian
Nights Entertainment is, the reckless flights of
the authors imagination well supported
on wings Of humor that the reader accepts them
with the same cheerful readiness that he accords
to the breezy tenuty and amusing extravagances
of the plot of a musical comedy. The charac-
ters of the story in truth, bear a far stronger
resemblance to the dramatis persona of a comic
opera than to persons one is likely to meet even
in so fantastic i region as the Barbary States
New-York tribune., 1906-06-17

and even to this day. II is at least said to be
the fact that the Dutch government permits
Naundorff's descendants in the male line to
assume the Bourbon name coming OF age
Sehora Bazan follows closely the history Of
Naundorfrs life, while the love of his daughter
Amelie for young French nObleman, the Mar
quis de Breze, who espoused Naundorffs cause.
permits the introduction of more than a dash
Of romantic fiction. For the purpose for which
the author has made use Of Naundorff's story,
the validity of the watchmaker's pretensiOns
need not be considered Sonora Bazan at least
assumes to see in him the real Louis XVII,
while she allows loophole for escape from her
position by introducing the problem of dual
personality, and representing the harassed
Naundorff as at times doubtful of his own early
recoIlections and inclined to believe himself the
dupe of an alternating ego
The tale as il is told, is of intrigue and
adventure, lifted above the conventional type OF
historical novel chiefly by its careful character
ization The author is hampered in her con-
struction by the necessity of adhertng to the
known facts of NaundorTs career, and her
fictitious incidents sometimes suggest a weak
ness in the episodes upon which she has reared
her superstructure of romance. She also need
lessly extends the story by causing events al
ready narrated to be retold in the words Of one
or other of the characters To judge of Sc
nora Bazans style is difficult owing TO the
literary defects of the translator. 1t is enough
TO say that the reader seeks in vain for those
indications of the authors transcendent genius
that the translator, in terms Of fulsome adula-
ton sets forth in the biographical introduction.
Provided one does not pause to measure the
plausbiity of Mr.. Sutphens hypothetical cata-
clvsm and its after effects with the yardstck
of logic, it is possible TO get abundant enter
tainment from his latest story, THE Dooms-
man" The period of the tale is laid in 2Ol5,

Kind Of Mem Needed.

II one were to go to the president OF
tho United States and ask him to name
the country's greatest need. he would
reply in his quick. conclusive way:
"Ciean men," He knows, says the De-
lineatOr. Smart men there are by the
thousands; rich men abound more than
III any other age OF the world; able
men are found in every state and
township, but even from a population
OF S0,000.000 the chief executive has
difnculty in finding the man of excep-
tional character for post which re-
quires q square and fiawless morality.
1t Ia to his credit that he misses no op-
portunity to preach manhood. But
neither presidents nor preachers nor
teachers can do the work Of fathers
except in their own families. We do
not mean to underestimate the marvel
c,is influence OF the mother. In most
lands men who reach success give
their mothers the credit "All that
I am owe to my mother" said Lin

to write so. You really did, dear moth

our moral qualities from our moth

the Psychologists, and as we look back

ioveliest thing on earth. But isn't there

that we should have done much better
