No smoking is allowed, nor is anything permitted which could possibly contaminate the precious leaf.
Therefore, in spite of Dr. Bedloe's „denubclas ton of Ceylon and Indian teas (the latter belug equally carefully cured), does not the clean
process of curing under European ampervision commend itself over the Chloene method } It certainly has commended itself in English eyes, as statistics show. In 1873 the exportstion of in from Ceylon was 25,000 pounds; this year the estimate, is 61,000,000 pounds, while the consumption of China len in England fell from 135,000,000 pounds in 1879 to 61,000,000 pounds. in 1889.
SIR,--The readers of Dr. Bedloe's Interesting letter an tea, which appeared in the Hongkong Telegraph, will find ceitala statements which might be misleading, though much of the information volunteered is only too true. The present writer, a tea and coffee planter of ten Such an alteration in trade has so alarmed years' experience, knows well that it is a fact the Chinese that fully five years ago the that ten unfit for use is shipped from China to Chamber of Commerce at Shanghal sent a America. But the fault lies with the American commission to Ceylon and India to investigate. consumer for refusing to pay for a good tea, or,The commissioners returned with the warning to go deeper in the matter, tiles with the Govern- that if China did not send better and purer teas ment for allowing inferior teas to be imported.

It is to be hoped that la demoralised by the "present" or "gift" system China and Japan, will one day tear down theic referred to by Dr. Bedloe, and this also ought to walls of conservatism and open their gates to be stopped by legislation.

Green teas ought to be avoided as impure: No tea can look green and be pare. Place any green leaf on the stove In your kitchen. Does it remala-green ? Of course not; and to keep tis color artificial coloring matter must be rubbed date the leaf after rolling Moral: Drink black ita, or at least, try and educate yourself to do so, It is useless to quote in full all the appeals made to the Government to stop the leportation of teas "too vile to drink," Dr. Bedloe's predecessor sent a dispatch to the Secretary of State in July, 1889, calling attention to the foferlar quality of much of the Amoy tea exported to the United States and advecadeg protection for the American public.
Allowing, however, that much, very much, of the Chinn tea Imported is below the standard of good tea, Dr. Bedloe can scarcely speak with authority when he says there is no fine tea in America. There are not a few gentlemen in this cly in old established tea houses who must consider this statement jari a little rash. Good houses import "fine" teas; which are sold at such prices as Dr. Bedloe quotes, and I have no doubt they would be all very well pleased to sell nothing else if the American people would pay for quality and drink "fine" tea. So much for Chine tea. Now for "the British," "The bold Briton permits patriotism and his parse to guide his palate and uses the vicious vitriolic horrors of Ceylon and India."
Dr. Bedloe, says "Formosa produces the best tea in the world" Fermoan Oolong at $50 per pound reigns supreme with him, while Ceylon #vitriol," lately sold at $115 per pound in the London market, is the memory of a depraved taste. And this brings me to the history of Ceylon as a tea-growing country.
When I first went to Ceylon in July, 1875, a few acres of ten might have been found and pointed out as a curiosity. It was then of no value. Looking from my verandah in Dimbools I could view a "sea" of coffee, green, health looking and bearing one of the heaviest crops known. To-day, from the same spot, not coffice bush can be seen, but only tea! A deadly fungus, attacking the coffee leaf and causing it to drop off, has effected this change. Old King Coffee has gone and tea reigns In his stead The old coffee store has become the tea factory, the bagful of ripe red "cherry coffee is seen no longer; the basketful of green tea leaf has taken its place.
No sooner was it known that coffee was doomed than the Ceylon planter put his shoulder to the wheel and began to change the face of the country and to alter its staple from coffee to tes This resulted in the most astounding success in the annals of "extensive" cultivation.

Tientsin, September 18th, Stace the Gintas Maru blacked up the river in the Tientsin reach not a single steamer has reached the Bund The Wenchow and the Poocht were the last, and many have thought that we should not have any more steamers up this season till the Lienshing reached the Rund to-day and took her old place abreast of the E-wo hong. She leaves us to horrow for Shanghal, Our energetic harbour master, Mr. Kingsley, has now two rakes at work in the Tientsin Bend, to clear away the silt, and this is the reason I expect that the Lianshing was able to get up to the Bund. To-day there were 11 feet on the Taku Bar at bigh water.
Mr. Me Kitcheong and his brother are staying at the Kaiping Mining Depot.

September 17th 1891. There is a fear that the Tartar General, or a mandarin nearly equal to him in power, was an accessory before the fact, if he did not actually order the attack on Dr. Greig, near Kirin. In any ease the officer in charge of the yamin kept the Doctor prisoner for four days, and this proceeding shows either ignorance of the treaty. of the greatest contempt for it, and for the passport which was exhibited. Say for argument's sake that the foreigner was guilty of a crime, it must be perfectly well known by the officials generally that he has to be delivered to his Consul for trial and punishment if necessary. If this part of the treaty be ignored, the life and liberty of a foreigner cannot be safe, and it will be of vital importance for the Ministers' at Peking to enquire carefully into all the facts of the case.
