Chimes Tea Myth.

An interesting myth has been woven
about the 8 o'clock "tea.". According
to 4 Chinese legend. tea was discov-
cred by son OF an Indian king,
Darma. who I'm SO A. d. paid semi
religious visit to China. To prove his
religious fervor, Darma led an austere
life, ate only vegetables, and prayed
constantly. He vowed never to sleep
that he might devote all his time TO
prayer, but one day, after many years.
he was overcome with drowsiness and,
against his will. slept. On awakening.
he wept bitterly. To show his re-
morse he cut off his eyelids. The next
morning he found the eyelids metamor-
phosed into two shrubs called "chaa,"
the Chinese for eyelids. The moral of
this legend points out that Darma
chewed some of the shrubbery and
learned Its arousing properties. In
1899, the Chinese presented the "chaa"
or tea" leaves to the ear. and later
they were intrytuced into London.
