.ExCLUSWETEA
PARTY MEMBERS
DRINK SO CUPS
Five Dozen Slugs a Day for
One Week Experts in
Employ of Uncle
Sam Drink.

They broke out again the other day
as they do once each year.
Fffty-one weeks they manage some
how or other to restrain themselves
and be sober, respectable citizens,
kind fathers and good husbands. But
when the SID week arrives = what
would be your own impression of a
man who, told you that for half a
week he had been drinking 60 scups
of tea day, and fully expected to
drink total of 500 before his de-
bauch was over?
Yet A. T. Hellyer of Chicago admit
ted that the other day. Admitted is
the wrong word. He announced the
fact. He even seemed a little proud
of the hideous record he was making.
They are rather exclusive affairs,
those annual week-long tea parties
which your Uncle Samuel gives. To
secure an invitation you have to be a
member of the United States Board of
Tea Experts, and there are only sew
en- members of that board.
Mr.. Hellyer is it's chairman, and
the others are George F: Mitchell of
Charleston, S. c.; J. j. Mcnamara of
BROOKLYN; Herbert G. Woodwork, of
Boston; G.. E.. Wyman of st. Paul; E.
w. Caswell of San Francisco. So they
gather, you see, from almost all over
the map.
And they are decidedly stag affairs.
No ladies are invited. And they are
very solmenly staged affairas. These
most unchastened of all tea-topers ap-
proach their spree with dignity and
elaboration.
The scene is set in a big room of the
appraisers warehouse on Christopher
Street, New York city. The atmos-
phere Of the place is one of obvious
calm. Only a chess match has a quiet
er air about it.
In the center of the room are set
two big circular tables, made to re-
volve round central pivots. About
the rim of each table are dotted end
less cups of fresh drawn tea-a dimes
weight Of leaf allotted to each cup and
meticulously weighed out before the
boiling water is poured. And about
the tables sit those devoted men, each
doomed to drink five dozen cups of tea
between sunrise and shutdown.
They go about it without indecent
haste. They sip and sniff and taste
deliberately, and between sips and
shifts sit back and make comment
to each other, and set down cabalistic
notes on pads Of paper. While there
is no indecorous gulping, still man
who is to drink 10 cups of tea an
hour must keep going.
For these are the men who are to
set the standards for the tea that
will be sold in the United States du-
ring the fiscal year which begins May
next. Samples have been submit
TED to them by every tea importer in
the country, and by many from for
eign lands. With their keen and
trained senses Of taste and smell they
are supposed to be able to detect what
samples of Ceylon, India, China, For
mosa and Japan leaves are up to the

For the first nineteen months Of the
war the Laconia was an auxiliary
cruiser patrolling the Indian ocean
under command of Captain Irvine,
and she was armed on her present

by a crew, who, were on the liner

The Laconia, torpedoed off the Irish
coast with the reported loss Of Am

the merchant service to be torpedoed
by a German submarine since the Luz
sitania went down. She was also the
first steamship to be torpedoed at
night, when submarines are supposed
to be blind.

zone would think said the Globe
tea-totaller. to Mr.. Hellyer, that after
a couple of days of it you could taste
nothing but tea"
"Well," he said, what else would
you have a tea-taster tasting?"
One thing at least they have to be
glad of. Tea is a brew that cheers
without it briating. Think of the
fate of a board of whiskey experts
who might be subjected to the same
stern call of duty!

PURIM.

celebrated Thursday, March 9Th, be-
ing the 7th, is one of the minor ho1i-
days of the Jewish calendar. It COM
memorates the deliverance of the Jews
of Persia from the power of Hannah,
the vizier of King Ahasuerus. Hannah
had cast lots (hence the name
''Purim'' which means '1ots') to de-
termine which month was to be set
for the massacre of all the Jews in
Persia. Mordecai and his niece
Esther becoming aware Of the plot
succeeded. in deposing Hannah and in
obtaining royal permission for the
Jews to attack and master their enc
mics on the 18th and 14th of Adar.
The deliverance of the Jews from the
threat Of humiliation and their vic
tory over theiY enemies have ever af-
ter been celebrated as the Feast of
Purim.
The Feast of Purim never attained
as high a degree of spiritual infiu-
ence as did some of the other festi-
walls. The usual Psalms of praise
read on other holidays are omitted
on Purim. The one characteristic of
the Purim ritual is the reading of the
Book of Esther on the evening Of the
thirteenth day of Adar.
AS folk celebration, Purim made
up for whatever influence it may
have lacked as a religious festival. 1t
was celebrated as a carnival: masks
were worn by old and young; Purim
plays were given re-enacting the
drama of Esther and Hannah. In
addition to this merry celebration Of
Purim there arose the custom of Civ
ing gifts to the poor Every Jew, no
matter how poor, would give some
thing to someone more needy than
himself. And so the day Of popular
rejoicing was touched with the elevat-
ing spirit of benevolence.
