CHARM OF CHINA TEA.

Have you ever sampled that de- lightful tea. with the delicate aroma reminiscent of peaches, or sipped the essence of jasmine flowers from a cup of the pale amber coloured, liquid? asks a correspondent of the Daily Mail. For, if you have, you have tasted of Ene Oolong or enjoyed the "fragrance of Scented Orange Pekoe, just two kinds of tea out of the filty varieties that China produces_____

"Akhough the flavour and aroma of good China tea is finer than that t any other growth of tea in the world, ir is a fact that it is almost unknown to a very large section of the com- munity today. Thirty years ago the amount of China tea consumed in this country was very much larger than present-day requirements. for India. Ceylon, and Java tess are gradually Jisplacing the older growth.

China tea are rapidly disappearing from the marker, and with them their fine-sounding names. Some people Hike to read wine catalogues and glost over curious vintages and brands, but so far as names go-China tea may claim an even greater interest: Pak- ling. Chunmee, Hyson. Keemun. Ningchow, Oolong, Ounia. Dopack. Panyong, and Ichang-these are but a few,

And that is not all, for each of these rames is but the family name of a thousand variéties, and each variety has a different mark or chop: Nge Tai, Show Lum Yang King.

All good China tea has a most ex- quisite and delicate flavour which. strange to say, many people do not like at first, if they have become ac customed to drinking strong India or Ceylon tea. This fire and distinctive taste. however, is the hall-mark of a digestible tea, for it is a fact that has been scientifically proved that China rea can be enjoyed with impunity by those people who find coarser growths indigestible.

PENNY SEAT IN HYDE PARK.

In the soft sunshine a man entered Hyde Park with a companion, and aher a short stroll round they sat down in the shade of a tree and chatted for a while, says the London Evening. News.

The man who demands a penny a seat called on them and got a coin.

As he came away a police officer who had been standing by asked, "What did you get?"

"A threepenny-bit."

"Give you sixpence for it." "So will I said a photographer. "Give you a shilling for it," said the policeman.
