A STORY OF TEA.

According To Celestial legends tea
was discovered by the great emperor
Chin nung, 27S7 b. G, and in the sixth
century tea was already a well known
beverage in the land of the poppy ana
the peacock By the eighth century tea
was common enough in every part Of
China, and there is tax record dated
in the year 1913 showing that Emperor
Tih Tsung was determined to exact
revenue from tea.
Tea was carried to Japan and cult
walton established early in the ninth
century. IL is quite difficult To estab-
fish the exact date when tea drinking
was introduced in Europe There is no
trace of il prior TO the year 1883, al
though other Chinese customs had
been imported before then. Tea was
brought To Europe by the Portuguese.
But tea drinking did not become q
habit until the enterprising Dutch
traders introduced the custom a few
years later.
The earliest mention OF tea drinking
in England occurs in letter from Mi.
Wickham from Japan, dated June p,
1915. In 1856 the English began To
drink tea in society circles, the supply
being imported from Java at the cost
Of $50 TO $50 a pound

HOPES OF THE FiLIPiNos.

The Baltimore platform declared for
immediate independence for the
Philippine Islands The Filipinos are
much elated by the election Of Wilson
which seems 10 them equivalent 10
putting independence within their very
grasp At least this was the feelins
Of ten thousand enthusiastic Filipinos
who marched behind Aguinaldo in
celebration Of Wilson's victory.
MIR. Wilson has said that a platform
is not necessarily a program Doubt
less he would hold that such plank
is not grant. nor even preliminary
to a grant. But the Filipinos not only
set sreat store by the plank, but think
ii significant that the man who ran for
president twelve years ago on the anti
imperialism issue is talked OF as pre-
mier Of the Wilson cabinet, or at least
as chief advisor to the president
Mr.. Wilson, however, is a practical
man He knows that the Philippines
would suffer grievous ills following
hard upon a grant of immediate inde-
pendence. He may agree with NJ.
Bryan and others that tile Islands are
a source of weakness rather than of
strength to the United states. but such
a conviction would not justify us in
a selfish abandonment Of the only good
government the Islands have ever en-
joyed. He knows, too, that the mere
grant Of independence would not
straightway endow the Filipinos with
The qualities indispensable Tor real
self government. He knows that in
all human probability Filipino self
government in the present stage of
their development would speedily be-
come government by few bad men or
q rev foolish men. and not self-gov-
eminent at all.
The Filipinos are being led along tina
path TO independence as speedily as is
prudent They have large and grow
ing share in the work Of legislation an1
administration. They have made won
'derful progress under American tutel
age. But the time is not vet ripe to
let them 60 their own gait.
