Greatest Tea Producer.

Greatest Tea Producer.
In 1888, as far back as accurate sta
tistics go, the empire of China was the
greatest tea producing country in the
world. In that year it exported $780,
067,000 pounds of tea. But in 1907 the
figures dropped to 2OO,32O, 900 pounds
The annual export at present is about
what it was in 1907. In sharp contrast
to this has been the strong and steady
invasion of India and Ceylon into
China's tea monopoly. In 1888, when
China shipped from her shores nearly
300,00O,000 pounds of tea, India's ex-
ports were only 100000 pounds. In
1907, however, when China's exports
had dwindled to 200, 100000 pounds, In
dia's had risen to 216,611 900 pounds.
In other words, in 10 years China tea
exports dropped 80 per cent, while In
dia's rose over 100 per cent In the
same period Ceylon's exports of
ooIong expended from 100000 to
165, 100000 Java, as well, has taken
of China's failure to hold
her own market. In 1898 the tea ex-
ports of this Dutch colony were H.
100000 pounds, whereas in 1907 they |
we're 100000 pounds. Formost Natal
md French Indo-China are also coming |
up steadily as tea producers.
Growers Lack Progress.
Anticipated methods of production
las been an important factor in the de-
Zine of the country's expectations. The
'ank and file of native tea growers to-
lay use the same methods that were
bought all right thirty, forty and fifty
years ago. Nevertheless, the principal
,ause of inanition of once flourishing
was ever the cruel indiffer-
nee of the Manchu bureaucrats. The
owly tea raiser, the humble tea mer-
liant in few isolated ports was moth
ng to them, and they cared little
whether the entire tea trade died, and
18th it the growers, SO long as officials,

Their Spanish dance was the very
essence of grace and exceeded any
thing seen On a local stage. Their
voices, though not very clear, blend

excelled in their acroEatic stunts and
went through many difficult feats
with grace and ease which showed
the result of patient and continuous
application to their art.
Miss Edna Randall in songs and
monofogues concluded the vaudeville

Owl and Dippy the Loon and a little
yelping dog all together, and there
was something in the sound that made
little cold chill run up and down Peter
Rabbits backbone. He crept a little
closer to Jimmy Skunk.
Il believe it is Farmer Browns boy
and some of his friends laughing and
shouting together" said Jimmy.
mo, it isn't! Farmer Browns boy
and his friends can make some dread
full noises, but nothing so dreadful as
that. 1t makes me afraid, Jimmy
Skunk" said Peter.
Pooh. You're afraid Of YOU own
isn't much afraid of anything. Lets
go down there and find out what 1t is"
Peters big eyes grew rounder than
ever with fright at the very thought.
"D-d-don't you think Of such a thing,
Jimmy Skunk. D-d-don't y-y-you
think of such a thing!" he chartered.
II know it's something terrible. Oh
dear! I wish l was safe at home in
the dear old briar patch"
Again sounded the strange voice, or
was 1t voices? It seemed sometimes
as II there were two or three together.
Then again it sounded like only one.
Each time Peter Rabbit crept a little
closer to Jimmy Skunk. Pretty soon
even Jimmy. began to feel a little un-
easy.
~.
II want to. but I don't dare to-" said
Peter. shaking all .over with fright.
Pooh! Any one who can run as
fast as you can ought not to be
afraid" said Jimmy. but If you real
ly are afraid you can come up to my
house and staySa while" he added
good naturally.
ooh, thank you. Jimmy Skunk, l
believe I will come and sit on your
doorstep If yol don't mind" cried
Peter.
So together they went up to Jimmy
Skunk's house and sat on his door
step in the moonlight and listened to
the strange voice all the long night,
and then when ne saw Old Mother
West Wind coming down from the
PURPLE Hills in the early dawn Peter
Rabbit got courage enough to start
for his home in the dear old briar
patch.

then 1t came again, a sound such as
neither Peter Rabbit nor Jimmy
