The do- create of consumption of Chinese tes in Great Bel- tain is entirely caused by the Increased consump tion of Indian and Ceylan less, The increased consumption of tes in Russia is due, I believe, to the improved means of communication, and to the improved well-being of the main of the Russian nation. The same causes that have made England buy her tea in India and Ceylon, must speedily cause Russia to be also a customer of those countries, and though for a long time to come she may still preter Chinese tea, the strength of the Indian tea and its cheapness, and the flavour of the Ceylon tea, will more and more commend them to the Russian retaller an profitably to be mixed with the Chinese teas.

A PLACE OF MEMORIES.
Show place though it be, monument of the past that it is, there clings to the Palace of the Doges an air of proud nobility and stately European Sovereigns cannot boast. First a Byzantine palace, erected in 810, it was five times destroyed by fite, and as alien rebuilt, the present structure dating from the fourteenth century. Rising beside the agate waters of the Adriatic, its outer walls supported by six-anal thirty columns of coloured marble, without bases but with marvellously-decorated capitals, its "Strong and just put the furies beneath my figure of seated Justice, bearing the inscription throne and the sea beneath my foot," its deep colonnades, and its portal of many marbles, it speaks of a power which is no more, of a glory that has departed.
While the bell towers of Venice filled the sumlik air with joyous peals that echoed far over the blue and peaceful waters, while the blare of trumpets and sounds of guns were heard, the procession started, headed by standards and banners with ribbons floating in the winds, followed by heralds in gorgeous ralment, bands

The breeder selects the soundes, best- baned and most shapely members of each sex at his disposal, and his forethought, as a rule, results in the propagation of stock, equal, if not superior to its progenitors.
