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.

"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.

I've got something else to do," answered Carlotta guardedly, 1 "Oh, how disappointilhgI How, fri;htfu.ly disappointing! It won't eseeseseseessese be the same at all!

No one knew that she was in the house, unobtru- sively' attired in outdoor costume, with a rather thick veil over her face, mingling with the crowd in the pit— a. whimsical act on her capricious part which, she confessed, amused her im- mensely. She now regretted what she: had done, and felt considerable pique as well as surprise that Graham Madox had "taken it lying down," as the ex- pression is, without so much as at - mind tempt, ing to gel` her to change her For this reason she devoutlyhoped that he would'be punished or his dereliction.

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 house." . "How frightfully interesting! , Is he a single man?" asked Judy, and then laughed consciously at her futile and apparently unsuitable remark." "Yes. But what has that got to do with it?" "It might have a lot, if he happen- ed to be in love with you, Carlotta," observed Judy steadily. "I shall have to watch you, my dear, and look after you for Alan, poor old chap—poor, dear old chap!" Judy's voice suddenly faltered, and an went a to her hand Carlotta s lie own breast and seemed to lie there, with a quick, caressing touch. Dont be silly, Judy. If all the men to me.

I'm not Baying I shan't like it. ,I've never been at a first - night.

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.

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 g ,P r•ngY g , 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. • 0 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, any plots which might be hatched, no matter how low they were whispered, were amplified and converged toward an aperture in the roof, where they <•, were heard by spies constantly kept posted there, thus enabling the king to retain his position much longer than was customary in those 'days (about 350 B.C.). As for the 'conspirators—well, any one witli sufficientcunning to devise such a place of confinement surely would not havetopuzzle his brain to finda means of pelmaneutly removing his. enemies. " As a monument to man's skill in con- struction without the use of modern machinery and tools, as well as to the ruthless use of man -power by,tyrann.e cal rulers, this cave rankswith the i,yramids of Europe.
