Tea DRINKING In China,

Nothing tends SO much to keep down
mortality in China as the habit of
drinking hot tea instead of possibly
contaminated well water. Tea to a
rich Chinaman means concentrated tea,
costing 10 cents an ounce; to the poor
it is hot water with a few tea leaves
dipped in and to the very poor simply
hot water. 1t is significant of the in
creased wealth in the country that the
majority of the lower classes, who
heretofore could only afford hot water,
are now indu'glng In actual tea

Soft Woods Give Out Most H.s+.

Contrary to widespread belief that
hard woods give more heat in burning
than soft varieties, the scientists at
Washington are cOntending that the
greatest heating power is possessed by
the wood of the linden tree, which is
very soft. Fir stahds next to linden
and almost equal to it. Then comes
pine, hardly inferior to fir and linden,
while hard oak possesses s per cent
less heating capacity than linden and
red beech 10 per cent less.

1n with hope one moment, cold
with fever the next, he rushed
with restless energy into every task
that presented itself, only to drop it as
speedily. Twice during the morning he
drove to the entrance of Chfford's inn,
but each time his courage failed him
and he returned to Grosvenor square to
learn that the expected message from

It was q wearing condition Of mind,

hands. The man behind him undoubt-
edly talked madness; but after five
years Of dreary sanity madness had a
fascination. Against all reason it
stirred and reused him. For one in
slant his pride and his anger faltered
before it, then common sense flowed
back again and adjusted the balance.
"You PROPOSE" he said slowly, ''that
for consideration of money I should
trade on the likeness between us and
become your dummy, when you are
otherwise engaged?'
Chilcote colored. "You are unpleas-
antly blunt" he said.
"But I have caught your meaning?"
I'm the rough, yes"
Loder nodded CURLY. "Then take
my advice and go home" he said.
"You're unhinged"
The other returned his glance. and
as their eyes met Loder was reluctant
ly compelled to admit that, though the
face was disturbed, it had no traces
of insanity.

ness. do you accept?'
For an instant Loder was at loss
to find reply sufficiently final. Chill
cote broke in upon the pause.
AFTER all,'' he urged, "what ask Of
you is simple thing-merely to carry
through my routine duties for a week
| or two occasionally when I find my
endurance giving away, when a respite
becomes essential. The work would
be nothing to man in your state of
mind, the pay anything you like to
name" In his eagerness he had fol-
lowed Loder to the desk. won't you
give me an answer? I told you I am
neither mad nor drunk
Loder pushed back the scattered pa
pers that lay under his arm.
"Only lunatic would propose such
a scheme" he said brusquely and
without feeling.
"Why?'
The others lips parted for quick
retort; then in surprising way the
retort seemed to fail him. ooh. be-
cause the thing isn't feasible. isn't
practicable from any point of view"
Chilcote stepped closer. "Why?" he
insisted
Because it couldn't work, man
| couldn't hold for dozen hours!'
Chilcote put out his hand and touch
ed his arm. "But why?" he urged.
"Why? Give me one unanswerable
| reason"
Loder shook off the hand and laugh
ed, but below his laugh lay sugges-
| ton Of the others excitement. Again
the scene stirred him against his
sounder judgment, though his reply
when it came was sound enough.
