worse. We think tea must hr maligued
to a great extent. \ survey Of the Gus
toms Of Russia has convinced us of this.
Russians drink tea which is composed Of
the stems Of the plant compressed by
adhesive gum INTO cakes of various sizes
ut the rate Of about twenty pIu1s day.
If human beings can stand that sort Ct
thing then We hold that the ordinary tea
consumed in England cannot de- much
harm. 1t is curious how the success Of

HUNTING WILD HORSES.
A Favorite Sport in New South Wales
How Animals Are Broken

Whether "brumhy' is survival of
the aboriginal name for wild horse or
a corruption of "unbranded," appears
TO be a question which philologists have
left undecided but hrumby hunting is
still favorite Srort in New South
Wales.
Districts like the Clarence and Ste
phens and Manning river watershed are
still the home of numerous droves of
brumbies, and hunting them is declared
TO be II very eXhilarating paStimc. The
first step taken is to stake ont a corral
and make all secure except a narrow en-
trance, which can subsequently he gated.
ON either side of the entrance and pro
jecting from il lunuclwise booty
fence is prepared.
To the simple minded hrumhy ii pre-
sumably looks like Il stockade, and
pieces Of tluttering cotton make it look
impregnable. When this is ready the
young bloods, we'll mounted. gallop out
and round up the wild horses, driving
them with shouts and much loud snap
ping of stock whips toward the mouth
of the funnel.
In a group Of hrumbies there is I'll
ways a leader. and whcn,once the hunt

of the drove. The iluttcring cotton rags
of the sham fence are sufficient To deter
the hrumbies from breaking through tn,
iiimSy barriers, and III less time than il
takes to tell the wild horses are safely
corralled and the big gate shut ON them
Then they are left for four and twenty
hours without food and water to reflect
on the situation, and ttrr that they
/ can be broken in without much difficulty

Farming on Arid Land.

nation Of the method. In Syria and
Palestine. with practically 80 rain
from April to October, the fields in
July have a fourishing abundance of
WatermelOns, cucumberS. tomatoes and
other products, and plants continue
green and thriving until autumn The
secret lies in 50 blowing that the win
ter rains are absorbed and retained in
the SubSoil. The blowing is shallow
averaging only to & inches IN depth
and after the full harvest It follows
each heavy rain as soon as the ground
begins to dry, the purpose being 10 keel

the water from the subSoil In the
spring the land is plowed 10 a depth of

OUlNINE IN ITALY.
State Sells 1t and Uses the Profit tc
Fight Malaria.

The sale of quinine in Italy is carried
on in a peculiar fashion. The government
sells the drug to the peasants in malari-
Gus districts and then uses the profit to
fight malaria.
The first aim is TO protect the peasants
from mosquitoes. But it is almost i'm
possible to get them TO take care OF the
wire screens which are given them for
their houses.
As for their wearing wells and gloves
when they go abroad, as they are urged
ty the authorities to do, anybody who
knows the Italian peasants can guess
how many of them will do it.
The government has therefore to de
pend chiefly on draining and filling up
the pools where mosquitoes breed and on
what is called bonitcamento, or the inn
provement of the land in various ways.
Last year the government sold 10 the
peasants about 100000 worth of qui.
nine, with a net profit of about $4,000.
