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 }}Yft I' eve y tele a ° l ,.parexts:- etteourage the , . lilldren to care fortliefrtovtkf five theta' Wrigi:+ey'So t removes food partic1ed' front the teeth. 54reat tat edLg the tOtene, Combats acid snout F0'4511614 acid leeneffoial!, l82 11671 17* 'IDT RIGHT' ISSUE'.

"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 for nothing!" "Oh, you have to give 'ems an -ans- wer of `same kind. They'll draw it out of you like, a corkscrew. You' can't squash them," answered Affery. 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 .

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 reached the goal. It took me thirteen .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.

"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 about the queerest thing on earth.

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. ' ' •TryTalking Protection. y .
