A pearance of Tea No
The only way to test tea is to taste it. Many
people have the idea that a finely rolled
and tippy tea Is superior in flavour to a
large rough leaf. In reality this is not of
necessity the case. The altitude at which
the tea plant grows determines the amount
of essential oil . and alkaloid theme in the
leaf.The essential oil gives tea, its flavour;
the theme contributes thestimulating
value. The only way to insure always re-
ceiving a uniform quality is to insist upon
a skilfully blended and scientifically sealed
tea like 6°SALA" whose reliability, good-
ness less and delicious flavour have become a
household word.
Love Gives itself
THE STORY OF A BLOOD FEUD
BY ANNIE' S. SWAN.
"Love gives itself andis not bought."—Longfellow.
CHAPTER XIV.— (Cont'd. )
A certain kind of intimacy is forced
upon' the traveller on board ship; un-
less lie unblushingly proclaims him-
self a churl, he finds it difficult to
escape from his environment. The
surest method of obtaining the neces-
sary peace is to tack on to one com-
panion.
Alan Rankine had little or nothing
of the churl in_ his composition, but
there were very few passengers in the
second-class saloon to whom he could
talk with even a passing sense of
pleasure. Again and again he blessed
the luck which had given him Affery
for a room -mate.
Their intimacy, though not . of the
boisterous or talkative order, grew
steadily, and by the end of the third
day out they were inseparable. Yet
they knew very little of one another:
Rankine, though no great student of
human nature, realized, or rather di-
vined, that some havoc wrought in
Affery's life had made him a wanderer
on the face of the earth. Aiiery had
a quick, warm temperament, as Well
as a hasty temper though that he had
well under control: His knowledge of
men and things was that which is
gained by the wanderer; a knowledge
which, through course of time, be-
comes a kind of second nature.
By the end of 'the third day out
Affery had learned a good deal about
Rankine. He knew, for instance, that
he was the eldest --.son of an ancient
house, from which lack of money had
driven him forth. He also—and this
caused him a great deal ofpp rivate and
i s
cynical xefle ct on— r ap ed the fact
>
that, so faras ma ng good in the
world of men was concerned, Rankine
was a babe in arms. He had been
taught nothing, and, though his de-
termination to succeed' in the .world
was dogged enough, all the methods
whereby he proposed to achieve that
success were simply like floating chim-
eras before his mental vision.
Affery likewise incidentally learned
that Alan's whole available capital
was one hundred pounds, and that no
more was likely to be forthcoming.
While he obtained by suggestion,
rather than by cross-examination,
these outstanding facts from his
travelling companion, 'Affery remain-
ed singularly reticent regarding his
own intentions. On the evening of the
fifth day, however, when the other
side was practically within sight, if
not hail, he suddenly came to close
quarters -
They 'were strolling round the deck
after dinner. It was a heavenly, calm
night -the sea like a millpond, and the
sky studded with a million stars, The

"T see," observed Rankine, as he
stretched his long legs across the well
scrubbed deck, "Then mum's the word
on the other side?"
"That's so. And you must be pre-
pared for heckling, good-humored
questioning, in fact—to turn you in-
side out—that is their first, and gen-
erally most successful endeavor."
"If they turn me inside out, then
the climate is going to have an extra
erdinary effect on mel I'm not Scotch

"Oh, you have to give 'ems an -ans-
wer of `same kind. They'll draw it

with a augh. "But the Yank is a
thundering good chap when you get
him at close quarters. And you'll find
it pays to shake hands with him—
they're awful duffers for shaking
hands."
"If they keep 'em clean I shouldn't
mind; though it must get a trifle mon-
otonous after awhile,' .said Rankine,
with his easy-going laugh.
"I'm talking of the States just now
principally New York. As one gets
further out, men and manners change
till you get up against the big, orig-
inal silence. You find that in perfec-
tion at the Yukon, where Pm going."
"What for?" asked Rankine inter-
estedly. "I thought the Yukon was
played out as a commercial enterprise,
or even as art adventure card, long
since?"
Affery appeared to eliminate upon
the words. ' The expression of ` his
face completely changed, until he ap-
peared like a man who dreamed
dreams and saw visions.
"revrent,aver the trail in 'ninety-
eight," he began' slowly. "Heard of
it, .I supose?"
•
"The . trail to the; Klond ke ou'
mean? I've heard,or read of of
course. The gold -rush-wasn't it?"
"Yes. There were:thousands of us
—no rail then, hardly a ' trail. Only
about a.third of the gold -seekers ever
air had lost the chill which is never
absent in mid-Atlantic, and lounging
about onthe deck was, in consequence,
singlarly pleasant.
"Say, Rankine, if it's a fair ques-
tion—and, after all, you needn't ans-
werit unless you like -what's your
idea in New York? I suppose you
have sheaves of introductions."
"Nary a one," answered Rankine
lightly, for his spirits, which certainly
had dropped to zero- at the moment of
leaving England, had been rising
steadily. "And to be quite frank,' I
haven't an 'idea. As I told you the
first night out, I'm going to lookout
for a. job." -
"In New,. York?" queried Affer
l y,
with a queer look on his face.'"`
"I might have a try there," Ran-
kine again answered lightly.
Affery shrugged his shoulders.,,,
My advice to you is—don't. New
York's a bad place to starve in. I've
done it,, and I know!"
"
You:. have.?" asked :.Rankine with
quickened interest. "Oh, tell me an-
other."
"I have. I've been a hobo, sleeping
out . in Madison . Square and Union
Park; I've been a washer -up in a
delicatessen shop, . a shouter 'on a
megaphone, =and a bar-tender—the
only good job I struck in New York.
You couldn't do it, old chap! Don't
try. And the monef•.you say you've
got would last about. -six -weeks.'.'
Rankine took his pipe from his
mouth as if it had ,oat its flavor.
"See here, old chap.. Now you have
asked me the straight question, I'll
do what I've' been thinking of . since
ever we've met. You've hid exper-
ience of this side. Do you know of
any opening' likely to be available for
a chap like me?"
Affery turned, and, half pausing,
fully met his eye.
"No, Rankine, I don't know a single
one. And m advice to you is,once
more—don't."
"Well, but—" began ;Rankine, a
trifle testily. "You know what I'm up

.months.
"Thirteen months to go 'over, one
pass!" ` said Rankine incredulously.
"What happened?"
"We had to camp for 'eight months
in the snows, waiting for the ice -to
go out; and don't forget that the
Yukon is fifteen hundred miles long!"
"Good God! And when you got
there was there any gold at all? I
seem to remember that the boom fiz-
zled out rather quickly."
"Plenty of gold," said Affery slow-
ly, and the deepening solemnity of
his face laid a strange hold on Ran-
kine's imagination. <Btit it's not in-
tended for -common mien—it'll belong
to the Titans, as it has always done.
The poor humans who essay it will

companion.

THE WANDERERS DREAM.
"So it's luck you're pretty well
trusting to, old chap!" observed Af-
fery, as they drew two deck chairs
into a sheltered lee -way, and turned
up the collars of their coats to keep
off the sharper night airs,"Well, luck's

How Sailors Measure Speed.
What is a sea mile and what is .a
knot? Most people call a' sea mile a:
knot and vice versa. In fact; so usual
has this practice become -that 'even
modern` cliotiotraries and reference
books makethe same statemet. This ..
means that we give the word knot two
totally different meanings, which is
awkward, not to say foolish.
Properly speaking, a knot is not a
measure of distance at .all;, a knot is
a measure of speed. Giving the word
its' only proper meaning, to say a ship -
does so many "knots per hour" is just
as silly as saying a motor does so
many "miles an hour per hour." What
a sailor means by a knot is one sea
mile per hour.
The error; is seen if"we_ look at the'
origin of the Word.,, The speed at
which a ship is moving is ascertained
by. -"heaving the log." , .A. "log" (spe:
dally shaped, is thrown over the stern.
To the log is attached a line: Upon --
this line at equal distances are knots.
The distance between anytwo knots
is the distance the ship would move if
travelling -at the rate of one seamile
per hour during; say, thirty seconds of
time.
-.When taking the ship's -speed one
man attends ,to the log line, while a
second man turns a sand -glass which •
measures the time.'*:As soon' as the
sand -glass has run out the'log_is stop-
ped.' By counting the number of knots
which have passed' overboard in the
,title, the speed of the ship is known
Thus,' if ten knots have run out the
ship is travelling at ten sea miles per
hour. A sailor says she -is "doingten
knots." -.
- A sea-mileis one -sixtieth part of am:
degree. Its length is 2,025 3-5 . yards.
As we know a statute mile (land mile)
is only 1,760- yards, so that -a sea mile
is 265 3=5th yards longer than. a land
mile. ' '
