TEA? THAT ARE
WORTH FORTUNES
Twelve Hundred Kinds Are In 'China's
Show at the World's FairThe Most
Populous Nation of the World For
the First Time Makes an Exhibit
Worthy of Her Greatness.
Many eiposltlons of stupendous char
acter make up the World's Fnlr of
1U04. Kacli part is n vnst and distinct
show. Kach bulldliiR shelters ninny
acres of wonderful thltujs wonderful
because they nre the choicest of their
kind. Kvery nntlon on the globe is
represented. Every state mid territory
Is here with its best and making the
most of Its itreatcst opportunity.
The fact that Culpa has not been a
largo exhibitor at world's fairs gives
to her great exhibit here a prominence
quite exceptional. It is a wonderland
of Ingenious productions. Wo know
China best by reason of her extensive
exports of teas, which have found a
vast market In the United States for
generations. Her commercial interests
therefore prompted her to make a dis
play of teas thut we should not for
get. In sealed glass Jars China displays in
the Liberal Arts Palace some 1,200
kinds of tea. Young Hyson and Old
Hyson have a string of tea relations
longer than the genealogical chain of a
Plymouth Hock. They are neatly se
lected "chops," in the language of the
tea farmer, and these classes do not
embrace medicinal teas, which are
quite another lot in the rather modest
number of 400.
The teas exhibited vary In price from
a few cents a pound to some rare and
exclusive kinds that are worth their
weight in gold, the tea In the latter
cases being placed on one side of the
scales and pure gold on the other
that Is to say, the tea of this expensive
kind is worth about $20 gold an ounce.
Only a very small quantity of this ex
clusive leaf is exhibited, and it is
grown In carefully guarded tea planta
tions or gardens right under the shad
ows of the great wall of China. Its cul
tivation is prohibited for any use save
for the imperinl family of China and a
few of the favored blub officials.
mention has been made of the word
"chop" in connection with tea, and It
may be Interesting to the everyday
reader to know what the word actually
signifies. The tea leaf la grown In va
rious districts of the Chinese empire on

large areas of ground which are often
mistaken for single plantations. This
is hardly ever the case, as the large
tracts are very often owned by hun
dreds of different men, whoso individ
ual plots of ground boaring the tea
plants are carefully mapped out, so
that each individual owner may culti
vate and pick his own crop of tea.
Each owner likewise markets bis own
tea and puts his own special mark, or
"chop," on the packages. Hence the
term "chop" signifies an individual
growth or picking of tea by one owner.
In an area of tea land of, suy, a thou
sands acres, all apparently under one
ownership, there may be some forty,
fifty or more owners of the plantation
and consequently a like number of
"chops" of tea.
It must not be imagined that all these
different owners of the tea get the
same price for their commodity far
from It, as euch of these Individual tea
growers bus his own secrets for Im
proving the quality and flavor of tea.
Tuke, for instance, the Amoy and Fu
cliuu districts, whence most of the tea
for the United Stutus comes. The own
ers of "chops" of tea varying from 10
to 200 chests of S6 pounds each bring
samples of their goods to the various
foreign merchants for sulu. These lat
ter turn the Chinese tea growers over
to the good otllces of the foreign or
Amerlcau profiuwlonal tea taster, who
pusses on the goods as to price. The
tea taster hue the samples Infused, not
boiled, In his presence and passes upon
the quality,, iluvor, twang and manner
of curing, tlxing a price accordingly,
from which tburp la never suy varla-
,Uon and which the tea grower must nc
cept or go elsewhere to dispose of his
iwarss. In a single tract of tea land
like the one cited above the price has
Tanged from 14 cents, the lowest, to
48V4 cents, the highest, per pound
among sixty-one different tea produ
cers. A matter of great moment thnt
also figures In the price of tea Is
that very often tea from the same dis
trict will have the various "chops"
blended together In .order to produce
special flavors.
THE AMIABLE MULE.
a. Few Word of Praise For Thli
Mnoh Maligned Aolinal.
"After a lifetime of close associntloi
with the mule," says an old mil Hurt
official, "I have never known him ti
kick a man, nor have I ever met n nun
who knew another man of Ills owl
knowledge who hnd been kicked by I
mule.
"This Is a bold statement, but It I
true nevertheless. You can qucstioi
aoldlers of the army everywhere, and '.
confidently predict that they will ben
me out in this. I knttr I am uprootlni
a popular belief, hut I ask you to sto
and think and see if I am not doing on
mule friend a deserved Justice. Horses
kicks are plenty. Mule kicks are ui
rare as promotions. Were you evei
riding at lilght on the prairies, fill
away from comrades and camp, weary
looking for the distant twinkling camp
fires not to be found? Did you ever hi
such a time see your mule friend lift
his tireless head and blow his resonant
trumpet of discovery of the sought fot
haven? He has not seen it, but he bat
smelt It, and in a moment is trotting a
bee line for the distant picket Hue and
forage ration. Were you ever riding
across a dreary, dry, dusty country,
thirsty, no water in sight and its where
abouts undiscovered? Throw the bridle
loose on the mule's neck and give him
his way. He will tuke you to water us
unerringly as a carrier pigeon wings
Its way to Its roost." Nebraska Stute

THE PHONOGRAPH.
Its laveatlon Was tao Kaanlt ot a
Cat oa tao Flavor.
An accident a cut on the finger
caused Edison to Invent the phono
graph, or talking machine.
Mr. Edison told the story of this
Invention to a reporter. At the time,
he said, he was singing into n tele
phone, and In the telephone's mouth
piece he had placed, for safe keeping, a
fine steel point. Suddenly this point
cut his finger. He found, to his sur
prise, that it had been moving here and
there and roundabout, guided by the
vibrations of his voice.
He placed a strip of yellow pnpet
under the steel point, replaced It In the
mouthpiece and said the alphabet The
ateel, while he spoke, ran over the pa
per, and for each letter of the alphabet
it inude a different mark or scratch.
This was what Mr. Edison had hoped
for. He now held the steel point still
and drew the paper scratches slowly
over it. There was given forth, very
fuintly, the alphabet as be bad re
peated It.
Thus the principle of the phonograph
the registering and the reproduction
of the voice's vibrations wus discov
ered through the cutting of a finger. It
was Edison's finger, though, thut wuf
cut, Smith's or Brown's might have
been quite hacked off and no phono
graph would have resulted.
Nose Maslclaao.
Of the Tagbanoun, a tribe on the
long narrow Island called Palanwnn,
in the Philippines, Mr. Landor writes:
"Most musicians of other nationalities
play wind instruments by applying
them to the mouth. The Tagbanouu
pluys them with his nose! The luutul,
a reed flute, has two holes, and one
nose piece at one end of the cane, nt
the Joint. The luntul is pressed by the
thumb against the left nostril, the
right nostril being held tightly closed
by the first finger of the hand. The
Tagbanoua nose is so flattened at the
base and has such expanded nostrils,
elongated at the side, that It is es
pecially adapted for this purpose. The
Tagbanoua musician can get In this
fashion some sweetly pathetic Bounds
by far the most melodious sounds I
have ever heard from any body's nose,
and he is even bold enough to attempt,
with success, too, a trill."

Steady accumulation of calcareous de

NIGHT ATTACK AT SEA.
Boardluar a lloatlle Ship From a
Fleet of Small Boats.
Imagine a hostile ship lying nt an
chor In an apparently secure position
on a dark and cloudy night. There are
Just enough breeze and sea to make
sounds on the water Indistinct. Around
a low headland half a mile away from
the anchored vessel steal four of five
boats, pulled with muflled oars and fill
ed with armed men. They approach
noiselessly.
Perhaps they are not discovered and
thus reach tho sides of tho ship. Tho
next Instant the armed men are pour
ing over her bulwarks, and a desperate
fight takes place on her decks. Per
haps they ore discovered before they
reach the vessel's aide. The alarm Is
given. Tho men in tho boats bear It
and lnsh their oars through tho water
In a determined effort to reach tho ship
before the rapid fire guns can open up
on them. Flushes of fire Illumine the
night. The searchlights send out shafts
of blinding white The sharp peals of
the six and three pounders, the rapid
hoarse barking of Hotchklsfl revolving
cannon, the vicious sputter of Catlings,
breuk upon the frightened air. "Give
way with a will!" shout the officers of
tho boats as tho men bend to the oars
and the light guns in the bows hurl
their defiant answers buck at the wall
aided ship. As the boats sweep up to
the vessel's side gongs clang nnd rat
tles sound culling awny the rlllemeu to
rcpol boarders from the boats. If tho
boats' crews can board the ship and
clap down her hatches before the crew
gets on deck, theirs Is the victory, but
if her secondary battery is manned and
ber rlflemeu stationed before tho boats
are alongside, then goodby to the bout
expedition, for there Is nothing moro
pitiless than Gntllngs and revolving
cannon. W. J. Henderson In St. Nich

Gifts at Bantlam.
Gifts to Infants on their baptism are
of ancient origin. Formerly the spon
sors generally offered gilt spoons to the
child. These spoons were cnlletl apostle
spoons, because the figures of the
twelve apostles were carved at the top
of the bandies. Uleh sponsors gave the
complete set of twelve, while for those
who were not so opulent four was con
sidered tho proper number, and poor
sponsors would content themselves
with offering one. In the latter case
the hnndlo of the spoon generally ex
hibited tho figure of any saint In honor
of whom the child received its nnine.
It Is In allusion to this custom that,
when Cranmer professes himself to be
unworthy of being sponsor to Uie young
princess, Shakespeare makes the king
reply:
"Come, come, my lord, you'd spare your
spoons."
The mug or spoon and fork offering
of the present day appears as a very
debased survival of a really beautiful
christening offering. Westminster Re

Earl? Horso Race Prises.
Prizes for winners of horso races
hundreds of years ego took curious
forms. Tho earliest was the "brtglia
d'or," or golden bridle. After this tho
prize in England was a bell. This Idea
was taken from the custom among
owners of pack horses of decorating
the best horso, which led the cuvalcade,
with a bell, so that on dark nights and
In dangerous places the whereabouts
of the leader might be known and the
others follow boldly. At Carlisle, sil
ver bells were raced for by the moss
troopers and dalesmen and specimens
of these bells are still retained In the
town ball.
Few Solid Gold Dinner Servleea.
Tbey say It Is all nonsense talking of
solid gold dinner services, for there are
not more than three or four of them In
the world, and they are too email for
use In a party of any size. In many
lare houses In England and also In
the United States a quantity of silver
gilt plate, which looks precisely the
same, Is In use, but the feeling prevails
that silver gilt la not as "becoming" to
other table furniture as pnre, dazzling
silver plate and that it must be dls
played with great discretion. Boston

Killing; Rare Birds.

COOKING A CAT.
Northern Italy Would Itnther Have
Pnas Hoaated Than Bulled.
In northern Italy the cat is a fa
vorite and growing article of food.. In
Azegllo, In Venice, in Verona, butchers
sell cats and rail them rabbits, for
the state forbids the eating of cuts,
but tho poor people who have become
the chief buyers of tho Inferior kinds
of cats are not deceived by their cheap
rabbits.
The proper way to cook a cat Is to
toast It In an oven until brown, with
onions, gnrllc, parsley, bay leaf, red
wine and some herbs peculiar to Italy.
When boiled, It is not so satisfac
tory. Just before Chrlstmns it la coil
mon for a group of young men In
northern Italy to kill some cats, Bkln
tbem and soak them In water for two
or three days. They uro then rooked
with great care on Chrlstmns day and,
served up hot about 1:30 p. m. after
mass.
Italy cultivates the cnt for home con
sumption, as English people raise rab
bits. It is to be done on the quiet,
however, for in spite of tho profit In
the business and the demund for the
delicacy the law has to bo looked out
for, and the Society For tho Prevention
of Cruelty to Cats is vigilant Offenses
against the law are visited with Im

market nono tho less. Fattened on

most celebrated horse of which we

for the sum of 10 talents from Phlloni

was skowbald, or, In other words,
white, clouded with large deep bay
spots, this peculiar breed being valued
by the Parthluna above all others, but
