Thelrapid advance Of Ceylon and India
as tea producing countries is one of the
most noteworthy features OF the tea
business of the present day. For many
years China was the storehouse for the
supply OF til S article OF universal cor
sumption. Then Japan came to the
front as tea growing country aud by
means OF their extensive advertising
doomed the output. Now however,
these countries have taken back seat
and the teas of Ceylon and India have to
a g eat extent superseded those OF both
China and Japan. This is largely owing
to the greater purity and superior deli
cacy OF the Ceylon and India growth.
The modern way Of buying tea in pack
ages is the best method to insure getting
it properly blended and OF equal quality
and only when the tea is packed IN lead
packages is the aroma and delicate favor
preserved. There are many package teas
now on the market but the best known
and most largely used is the brand known
as "SALADA" which can be obtained
from all grocers. This brand received
the Highest Award and Gold Medal at
st. Louis Exposition, 1904.

aunck Medicines of Bygone Days

Quack Medicines of BygOne Days.
Nearly everything in the animal
kingdom was formerly used in the
healing art. In the oldest medical
book now known, composed in Hello
polls, where once Joseph served in the
house Of Potiphar, we find "means for
increasing the growth Of hair, prepar-
ed for Schesch, the mother of Teta, the
king of upper and lower Egypt"
Dogs teeth, overripe dates and
asses hoofs were carefully cooked in
oil and then grated. AS Teta lived be-
fore Cheops, this recipe for hair oil is
older than the great pyramid at Gizeh
and is supposed to date back more than
G,000 years. The heads of venomous
serpents have held an important place
in medicine. A strong broth made
from them and mixed with salt and
spices and 100 other remedies was en-
plOyed under the name of theriac as a
cure for every conceivable disease
Three drops of the blood of an angry
cat gave relief to the epileptic.

Dreams.

A scie atist explains some Of the
strange phenomena of dreams by say
ing that they are due to what he calls
hereditary memory" He takes the
failing through space" dream and
points out that after suffering the men
tai agony of falling the sleeper es-
capes the shock Of the actual stopping.
The explanation is that the falling SEN
sations have been transmitted from
remote ancestors who were fortunate
enough to save themselves after fall
ing from great heights in treetops by
clutChing the branches. The m0lecu-
lar changes in the cerebral cells due
to the shock of stopping could not be
transmitted because victims falling to
the bottom would be killed. In a sim
liar manner by reverting to the habits
of animals which existed centuries ago
the same investigator finds an eXpla-
nation for the mental state experience
ed by individuals in various dreams
the pursuing monster" dream, the
reptile and vermin" dream, color
dreams, suffocation dreams, flying
dreams and the like.
