Canada, whose climate is not damp.

also tea-drinking country. and SO Is
Australia, much of whose area Is as
dry as that OF India. There are s.
00O,0 900 people In Canada, and last year
100000 900 pounds of tea were imported.
This was more than five pounds per
person, or twenty-five pounds for a
family of five.
Australia. with population OF
100000, imported more than 100000
pounds. or in excess of eight pounds
per person. The most of the Canadians
and the Australians are of British
stock, 30 1t would appear that tea
drinking Is simply a national charac-
teristic rather than a requirement OF
damp climates.
Tea always has been one of the lead
ing sources of revenue for England,
especially under the free trade system.
Some years ago, when Joseph Chamber
lain proposed his scheme for prefercn-
tial tariffs for the colonies, the imposi-
ton of tariff duties on wheat and other
products was part of IT, but as com

the tax on tea should he reduced
Since the beginning of the present
war the British government has added
to its income by increasing the tea
duties, but always with the distinct
promise that these are to be reduced
when peace comes.
Russia is next to the United Kingdom
in the consumption of tea. yet is far
behind il because of the very limited
purchasing power Of the huge mass Of
peasants. The consumption, according
to the statistics availa bile, ranges from
170.000.000 pounds upward. The sam
ovar. or tea kettle, is a Russian in
stitution which no writer or tourist
ever omits to describe.
Germany Is a very small tea consum-
er. the quantity not amounting to a
quarter of pound per person, and
Austria Hungary with its large Teu-
tonic population. is IN the same cafe
CORY. France consumes very small
quantities. and part of this is supplied
to Englishmen and other foreigners at
the cafes and restaurants.
In some sections of the world, tea is
recognized as food This is the case in
Tibet. A largo commerce with China
Is carried on in tea. but the product
Is put up with rancid butter, and the

Washington, March. 10.-To encour.

partment has issued a circular auth

platCons. Two or more of these pla-

The minimum strength for detached
platoons Is fixed at "a men, one first

four corporals, nine privates, first
class, and nineteen privates.
The plan would supply four-squad

company on mobilization.
