SOMETHING ABOUT TEAS.
Popular Misrepresentation as to Their
Color and Quality.

Color and Quality.
Before the United states pure food
law Of June 80, 1906, went into effect
there had13been for some years previ-
ously law in force governing the
quality of tea allowed to be imported
into the United States A committee of
tea experts appointed by the United
states government meets in February
OF each year and designates what are
known as government standards,
The question arose two years ago as
to the desirability of forbidding any
more artihcially eolored teas TO enter
the country, as IL was found that low
grade teas were being shipped from
China and Japan so heavily coated
with mineral matter--gYpsum, indigo,
I've. and soapstone-as TO hide the in
ferior quality Of the leaf, besides add
ing weight to. the leaf. consequently
1t was decided that no more colored
tea should be allowed to be imported.
'rhe clauselin the law reads as follows:
"Teas Shipped from abroad after May
/. 1911. will not be allowed entry if
they contain any coloring matter at
all"
This does not mean that we shall
not be able to obtain any more green
tea; on the contrary, green tea will be
sold as formerly, only the color will
resemble an olive shade instead of the
vivid green hue and this applies to the

following teas: Sun dried and pan
fired Japans, Imperials. Gunpowders
and Young Hysons. All other teas
will come as they have hitherto done.
There is but one tea plant the fla
vor Of the leaf varying according TO
the soil and climatic conditions, and
the various shapes of the leaf differ In
accordance with the process employed
in the manipulation of the tea leaf az
ter il has been picked.
There are two classes Of tea, known
as fermented and unfermented. There
are over 200 different favored teas.
China prepares five varieties of tea

India and Ceylon prepare almost ex-

now prepares one variety; Natal Is.
A. one variety; Sumerville Is. c., u.
s. Al three varieties.
Fermented teas are Congous eng
lish breakfasD, Indias and Ceylons.
Oolong teas are partially fermented.
| Unfermented teas are Japan, Young
| Hyson. Imperials and Gunpowders.
Fermentation is merely a process of
allowing the leaf to be placed in stacks
for a few hours just prior to the roll
ing and drying. Great Britain con-
sumes almost exclusively fermented
teas, which are considered superior to
unfermented.
| The tea plant while il is growing in
the cultivated state ranges from TO
5 feet in height and the leaf is of a
bright green color. but during the pro-
cess of manufacture of fermented tea
it changes I'm color TO rich amber or
copper shade. The absence of ferm-n-
tation, however, allows the leaf dur lg
manufacture to retain TO certain OK

GREEN SOAP.

When delicate skins cannot stand
tho ordinary soap, even though mild,
skin specialists recommend liquid
green soap. for which they charge a
large price. This, however, can easily
be made at home. Take equal parts
of glycerine, water, alcohol and green
CASTLE soap.
Shave the soap into the water and
stir over the fire until the mixture
is smooth. Add the glycerine and last
ly, after the kettle is removed from the
fire, the alcohol. If a perfume is de-
sired add a tablespoonful OF eau de
cologne.

Ancient Yucatan.

1t was Chichen-Ohicheu liza
the magnificent, the Tai Mahai
of Central America-and the
building We were gazing on was
the most wonderful of the ruined
group.
AS We looked upon it in the
moonlight we could not help
feeling how awe inspiring this
colossal temple, rearing itself 100
feet into the air, must have been
to the anclents. Ga the top OF
the pyramid still stand the
crumbling ruins of a temple. 1t
is reached by stairway on each
OF its four sides having 120 steps
and contains three rooms, the
doorposts of which are carved
with the figures of priests, ex-
cept the one facing eastward,
which has large pillars carved
into the forms of serpents. The
heads of these are turned so that
they lie flat upon the top of the
pyramid, their eye sockets still
bearing traces of the rich green
jade that once filled them,
AS we sat we pictured to cur
selves the strange and barbaric
scenes that has here been enact
ed, for if legends are to be be
lieved it was on these flattened
serpents' heads that the tyrant
priests of Itzas, majestic in their
bejeweled and befeathered robes,
tore out the palpltating hearts of
their sacrificlaI victims after
slicing open the breasts with a
slick knife.
These sacrifices were probably
performed in view of thousands
of worshipers of the sun diety
'congregated on the plains below,
the heart after it was torn from
the membranes being burned as
an offering in the inner holy of
holes, while the body of the vic
tim rolled down the stone steps
to be sscramentally eaten by the
people. I

The Price of Success.

In the Ladies Home journal,
Hamilton W. MAZE SAYS: "The
plain fact is that those who cry
out against their limitations III
stead of resolutely working
through them, are not willing to
pay the price of patience, self.
forgetfullness and resolute work
which must be paid before we
can touch the goals of the higher
success. The Real is set in the
way of those who think they
want the ideal, to test the sin.
certify of their devotion and the
depth of their purpose. The
higher successes are for the few,
and the happiest thing that can
befall many who think they
want to follow the paths of art
as singers, painters or writer's is
to so discourage them at the start
that they give up the vain quest
before they waste time and OPP
portunity. Those who have the
true passion in their hearts will
60 through storm and fire to their
appointed end; those who have
only q desire will stop short and
90 about their real business. 1t
cannot be said too often that a
taste for an art, love of it, q
pleasure in it, and a strong feel
ing that one destined to practice
it, do not decide the question !;
the one thing that decides it is
the possession of the unappeas-
able passion and the unmistak-
able gift for it. 1t is far better
to be a competent artisan than
an incompetent artist; to do OBJ
scure work thoroughly and earn
pay for it, than to deal feebly
with great things and revlle So
ciety for that which has not been
done"

How We Fall Asleep.

We never know when we fall
asleep because the process is
gradual and the body falls asleep
by installments. Man is woua-
rously complex, composed of sew
eral Kingdoms in one, and the
various thrones are abdicated by
consciousness in succession. Ca
bapis, French Psychologist,
thinks that the sense of sight
sleeps first, then the sense of
taste, next the sense of smell,
next that of hearing and last of
all the sense of touch. tits clear
that the mucles Of the legs and
arms lose their power before
those which support, aud these
again sooner than the muscles
which sustain the back. In wax
ing the process is again. gradual
and in reverse order.
