Those vino have never seen teaZel

tail set all over with little stiff hooks.
It is the bur (or tassol or flower heaG
or thistle top Of the plant dpsacus.
However familiar to people who live
in lands where the teazcl l.; extensively
grown, the fact may be that the prick
ly heads Of that plant are universally
used to raise the nap on cloth. a null
titude Of persons in this country prob
ably never heard Of it and would be
astoniShed to learn il what enormous
quantities the plant is cultivated. In
France alone many thousands Of acres
Of land are exclusively devoted to the
cultivation Of the teaZel. French man
ufacturers use enormous numbers OF
the prickly heads, and from France
there are exported many millions Of
them. They are also raised in Austria.
England, Belgium, Poland and the Cri-
mea. The pricklcs Of the teazel have a
small knob at the end, and this, mount
el on an elastic stem and set with
great precision on the central spindle,
affords little brush such as the Ut

Tea Tes:a-s in Formosa.

In the ForGosan tea trade the most
important man Is the cha 81, or faster.
lie iaspccts and tests samples Of all
teas offered to his firm, and his jucg'
ment determines the price to be paid.
IN room admitting light only from
the north the cha 81 does his work.
lie first examines the leaf, then its
fusion in hot water and lastly its odor
and taste. Practically all the faculties
are exercised in making this test. 1t
requires the services OF an expert. and
the tea tester receives a good salary.
though relatively not so large as oD-
tainins twenty years ago. y. tea tester
never uses any perfume which would
destroy the tea odor. BE must not
allow the acuteness Of his taste to be-
come dull. He never drinks domestic
tea. Constant tea testing, it is said,
will injure the health. In Formosa the
tea testers are Americans or English
men.

Gle Of merchandise is ticketed through
out the store, and only within q short
time did they realize the amount OF
money that was wasted in using tfe
white cardboard with black lettering.
These white cards soon become solleo
and shop worn if allowed to remain IN
place any length Of time. The cards
which are handled by customers IN
bins. trays, etc, are even more So BY
substituting the black cardboard WIN

this difficulty to very great extent
The show cards are always clean'

HOW OLD PEOPLE
Nav Prolong Their Lives

At an advanced age waste is more
rapid than repair. The organs act
more slowly and less effectually than
in youth. The circulation is poor, the
blood thin and watery. the appetite
poor and digestion weak.
We want to say to every aged per-
son in this vicinity that Vinol, our de-
licious cod liver and iron tonic with
out oiD will prolong life. 1t creates
an appetite, aids digestion and makes
good blood. In this natural manner
Vinol retards waste and replaces
weakness with strength, giving new
life to the worn system.
If people in this vicinity only real
lied how vinol invigorates old people
we would not be able to supply the
demand
Try a bottle of Vinol with the IN
derstanding that your money will be
returned if it does not help you.

WesIev's "Narrow Neck Of Land"


The actual first and last house IN
England is a shed where a woman
sells specimens Of rock. Just below
this, as one goes down the zigzag path
between the rocks, on the neck OF the
peninsular is a fat stone about TWO
feet square and rising six inches ABOVE
the ground. This, tradition asserts, Is
that upon which John Wesley sat
when he composed the hymn
Lo. on a narrow neck of land
'Twixt two unbounded seas stand
Secure, insens5lc!
It is also stated that Wesley Wrote
other hymns there. Apparently he had

MAKING DINNER A SUCCESS
next to Cuisine, Most important Point
Is the Proper Seating of the
Assembled Guests.

You may have a dinner with the
best appointment and cuisine, and if
your guests are badly chosen the
dinner will be social failure.
Certain elements will not coalesce,
and the woman who tries to force the
process is counting an explosion.
Choose guests as you would shoes
because they fit.
Yea may be catholic in your taste
and enjoy the butterfly without q
brain and the woman who is all brain
but without social grace, the artist or
musician, the snob who distrusts all
the clever coterie, the man who loves
a gay story and the woman who is
easily shocked
But gather those friends around
common board and you may count on
their boredom.
If you must have mixed dinner
pray for tact in the seating. "a man
cares what he eats; a woman cares
whom she sits Lext."
Never seat your guests according to
social position. The practice makes
neither the dinner nor the hostess pop
ular. If you put the socially unimport-
ant together your entertaining will
never be a success.
Custom has it that those who sit on
the right and left of the host and
hostess may feel themselves singled
out for attention-but choose for rea-
sons. Do not give your guests
chance to gibe at you as money
worshiper or one with an axe to grind
Do not have dinners so large as to
prevent general conversation. Not all
who go out to dinner are blessed with
manners, and the hostess should have
it In her power to go to the rescue
Of the guest who is neglected by her
neighbors.
