themselves and their easy-going or over

his pills and potions. In reality, they are

Meaning of Tea Names.

We talk glibly about Pekoe, Bohea,
etc, but few people have any idea Of
what these names signify.
"Pekoe," in the dialect of Canton
means "white hair" for the tea which
bears this name is made from the
youngest leaves, so young that the
white down is still on them.
'Soochong," in the same dialect, Is
a quite unpoetic name; it merely sig

'Flourishing Spring" is the mean
ing of ''Hyson."
"Kongo" signifies "abor;" much
trouble and toll are expended in its
preparation at Annoy, and these are
commemorated in its name.
