one who has given the matter a fair
consideration, or who cares 20 admit

fered under the pseuJ0nym. "a cup of

prejudice.
In order 10 make reasonably eomplets
this brief account OF the cup that
cheers, I must add that II contains a
small proportion OF a volatile oil, which
IS Of small physiological Importance,
but which contributes largely TO the
gustatory character OF tea The chief
public delusion IN this connection Is
that the sense OF taste may be implicitly
trusted. You think you are not getting
your moneys worth unless your senses
are violently assaiIed. II IS as II you

Francesca loves Giacomo Randazzo.
For a time Giacomo seemed 10 love

But he was infatuated with the

were blissful DAYS for the little italian
child woman. Giacomo was her hero
and he loved her. Her relatives ap-
proved; il was a fine match for little
Francesca. For GIacomo was known
TO be wealthy. Indeed, he said in
court that he had made in the neigh
borhood Of $1,000 600 importing fruit.
But Giacomo's love grew cold. He
changed his mind. Some other pretty

For practical purposes, tea consists
OF two things-the first being acid, also
