The Consumption of Te
Tea as a beverage is used in nearly every
country in the world. It is estimated over
200 billion cups are consumed annually.
Australia leads in tea drinking with an
annual per capita consumption of about
nine pounds, which .means that every Aus-
tralian consumes from six to eight cups of
tea
eveiday. The consumption per capita
a
in England
is 81 lbs., -and in Canada nearly
5 lbs. in. the United States, it is less than
1 lb., but this is largely because Americans
have not been able to get fine teas until
comparatively recently. `SALADA" is con-
sidered one of the choicest blends on the
market, and is the largestselling tea in
either United States or Canada.

CHAPTER XVII.
• THE FIRST—NIGHTERS.
"If there is nothing to keep you in
London, why not coma down to Cam-
bridge and stay beside me for a few
days?" said Judy in the train.
Carlotta shook her head, her eyes
fixed on the dirty window -pane which
the driving rain had blurred.
"But I'm riot sure that it isn't your
duty," persisted Judy. "They can't
need you in Ayr as I do. They are
doing without you quite well there,
I am sure! That is the dismal thing
about life, my dear—every one of us.
can be done without, and . the more
indispensable we imagine ourselves,
the less it matters:"
The singular note of bitterness in
Judy's usually cheerful voice arrested
Carlotta's attention somewhat pain-
fully. fully.
Judy undoubtedly had given up per-
haps more than. any of them and had
said least about it. Perhaps it was
well that there were other people in
the carriage, and that their conversa-
tion had, tYof n cessi, to be conducted
e
in detachedand somewhatobscure
whispers, such as would hardly be
understood by any interested listen-
ers. It effectually prevented,dr also,
any display or overflow of emotional
feeling, to which both were, naturally,
a prey at the moment.
There are few things more dismal
than speeding the parting friend or
kinsman at the ship's side, with the
full knowledge that dividing seas will
soon roll between.
"Don't say that, my dear," whisper-
ed Carlotta, permitting her eyes to
express much that her voice dared not
utter. "You, of all people! Why, just
think how many are depending on you
now! Me, for instance! I have only
just found you. You are going to
mean everything in my life."
Judy momentarily brightened. She
was neither dull nor unreasonable, and
already she had bestowed a romantic
worship on the beautiful creature her
brother had won. She leaned forward
eoaxingIy.
"Listen, dear. You won't go home
to -morrow?"
"Oh no," answered Carlotta, with
an odd tremor in her i oice. "I have
no intention of going home to-
morrow. I can't possibly."
"Then we'll do a theatre to -night!
Shall we?"
"Not possible," Carlotta reminded
her. "We shan't be in until after nine
o'clock."
"Well, a music- hall, then; for some-
thing desperate I must do!"
"I'll go to the hotel with you. We'll.
have a cosy supper together, and
you'll go early to bed. Then I shall

that she was in the house, unobtru-

the •`bottom of the escapade of her

There was no tantalizing delay, such
as sometimes happens on a first night.
Puncttially•'at 8.15 the call bell rang
and the curtain went up.
It is unnecessary here to -give the
story of the play, which. was a domes -
tie, drama of rather a high order, an
attempt 'to teach, by a sort of allegory,.
certain great truths of considerable
import to humanity. The first scene
represented Madox, as the hero, John
Tenterden, sitting in the library of his
country house, torn with anxiety and
doubt regarding the wsfe Whom he
adored.
Judy was sitting forward with eyes
there, and papa brought „him to the

"How frightfully interesting! ,

then laughed consciously at her futile

"Yes. But what has that got to do
with it?"
"It might have a lot, if he happen-

observed Judy steadily. "I shall have

you for Alan, poor old chap—poor,
dear old chap!"

sparkling water of a mountain creek
makes the most exhilarating morning
wash possible, • But be' careful. I re-
member one of the 'fire•t years that I
went camping we pitched our tents
right on the edge of the creek and one
night about 1 am. there came a terra
fic'downpour of rain. The creek start-
ed to rine steadily and soon some of
our, pro -Visions were floating away.
When we took account of stock the
next day we found we shad lost two
cots, one small tent, several pieces Of
clothing and nearly all our. food.
Good drinking water is an important.
asset of a good camp site. The health
of _any Ganip,'depends largely 'onthe
purity of its drinking water.
Tents and, Shelters.
Wherever possible, I would advise"'
the beginner to take a tent for sleeping
quarters• during his first camping trip.
In the mountains the nights -are very
damp, and to any boy unaccustomed
to such exposure -it is a dangerous
thing. After once having become ac-
customed to life in the open, them are
various kinds of shelters you can make
for sleeping purposes.,
One of, the most serviceable shelters
(easy to sake, too) ' is the 'comnions ..
"lean-to." • Cut two poles. about six feet
'long that are'forked at the top: Put
these in the ground about seven feet
apart, and have the top of the poles
at least five feet from the ground. Now
cut another pole about eight feet long
and rest it in the forks of the two up-
right poles, Be sure that this frame
stands securely. Now cut poles aver-
aging ten feet in length, rest one end
'of each on the horizontal bar, and the
other end on the ground. When you
have placed enough poles in this poli,
tion to make a :formidable -looking
skeleton for your shelter, cover thee
sloping roof with hemlock . boughst.
Weave the branches :in and out be•
tween the sloping poles and 'soon you
will ' have .a shelter that -is' almost.
e open side of the
"lean-to" should face the southwest.
Your Bed.
As for your bedI would not advise
the beginner to sleep directly on the
ground. To do so often causes several
days of pains• and aches. If you can't
manage to take along some sort of
portable cot, spread some .hemlock
bon h or anyother springy boughs,
S

on the ground,andlie -on those.
The
.wooden branches ma
feel a little un
-
comfortable at first but the newcamp-
;
ca p
I
er iss usually tired enough.. hen night
comes to sleep on tacks.
The motto for camps should be clean-
liness, for on this depends the health,
the enjoyment and the appearance of
the camp. All bed -clothes should be
aired at least two hours every morning
before making your bed. _ All waste
papers and rubbish should be deposit-
ed in a ditch dug for the purpose some
few feet from the sleeping quarters.
All tents and shelters, should have a
ditch a few inches deep dug around
their edge in order to drain off the
rain -water. •

A Unique Sight.
One of the most unique and little-
known sights in the Old World is the
"Cave of the Horse's ear" at Syracuse,
Sicily. A cavern 160 feet high, . 300
feet deep 'and 60 feet wide was hollow- -•
ed out 'of a solid rock formation and
carved in the shape of a horse's ear
(whence its name), forming a' huge
whis ering gallery. It was used ae
a
place of confinement for political pris-
oners.
Due to the construction of the cave,
