The building is very attractive in appearance, and 15 111' truth the largest, most modern and most complete tea warehouse on the. continent. The Toronto home of Salad& bas a frontage of 40 feet and a depth of 218 feet, and is a mag- nificent building in every respect, an adornment to the business section. The history of the Salada tea busi- ness is a striking example of up-to- date, alert enterprise. TL'o business originated in 1893 in a very small way on Wellington street, and was commeitC d to introduce the teas pro- duced in the island of Ceylon. At that timo the tea wants of ,Canada ware entirely supplied from Chian and Japan. The head of the Salada firm, Mr. P. C. Lar'kin,' quickly re- cognized the healthful qualities of the erection of the present fine ware- house, which is a credit to the firm and to the city. In the meantime, the extension of the business in Quebec. and the Mar- itime Provinces necessitated the op- ening of branoh warebousos. The tirs& branch office was opened fn Montreal, under the management of Lir, George Mann. Salado, met with so much favor in the Lower Pro- vince that the branch there soon needed the commodious promisee which it now occupies, at the corner of St.'Suipiee and St:. Paul streets, A branch was also opened in lluf- . falx, and later a branch was estab- lished in Pittsburg, then one in De- troit, under' the supervision of Mr, Merles Sutherland of Hamilton, Subsequently, . Mr. .lames McGuane, of Toronto,, who has' been. one of the baelchoics of Salada, since it was established, left this city to found a branch in Boston.

Lewanilca is, the big man of a large region on the upper Zaaubesi. hirer. A11:' the tri bee of the greater part ofthe upper Zambesi Valley have leng boon unit- ed into a sinyle State known as the. J3arotse nation. The empire Was. fomided in hivingsrtone's t1ny8 by a great war thief named elebitimel. Lewauika, the eon of We 0171st, has been on the throne for many years, and, though still a hale man, 113 quite edvaneed in age, Hie subjects• are supposed to number about 400,- 000 persons, and his sway is su- Preme throughout his fertile domain, Probably no other of the subject. African Kings now has so much power or rules over -so malty people. The missionaries long sought in vain to get a foothold in Barotse- ,land. Tho founder of the kingdom. did not look upon them with friend- ly eyes and closed his doors to all the whites.' The French teachers who - give their lives to Africa have, 4s017 - ever, no such word as "cannot" . in . their vocabulary, and after 'vain years of effort the French Protestant. missionary Coillard with his wife ate last succeeded in obtaining permis- sion in 1884 to settle i11 the coup - try. He was well received by the now Ding, Lewtnika, and lived with or near alio ]Xing till two or three, ,years ago, when old age convened his retirement, and he•retlrned to Prance only to die there. HIS DEVOTED 11'L le is buried not far from the Xing's• residence,' • Coillard, like Livingstone, made an -.undying name as a pioneer 115 the African • ileld. He first attracted' world-wide attention by saving the- life of the renowned Portuguese ex- plorer, aplorer, Serpa Pinto, whom he found sick, utterly destitute and many hundreds of miles from the nearest white stollen. In the thrilling book he wrote, Serpa Pinto said that he would undoubtedly have perisbcd i4' it ' had not been for the • aid that. Coillard and his wife gave to him. They nursed him bade to health and gave him an outfit that enabled hint to reach the coast. The crowning work of. Coiliard's• life .was the influence he acquired over the barbarous Ding Lewanike,. and his people. It was more than ten years before the devoted m]s- sionare •began to .'see the fruits of' his zealous and unwearied efforts in behalf of the Bou'otso people, It was• not till about ton years ago that many of- the natives and the King himself became convinced that there• was good in the teachings of the missionary. Tho result of this con- viction is that to -day large members of the subjects of Lewanika are pro fa:sedly Christians. The Xing since' that time has dressed in the garb of white men and has been constant in his efforts to promotethespread • of civiliuttion through his country. If it had not been for the work of Coillard the Icing of the DDevotso would not have been invited to Eng- land and would not have had the.. f1•ieudly greeting which Ding Edward gave him on Friday Inst, Tho e11- plore•, Dr. Johnston, who studied the work of the Coillard uneaten on the ground a few years ago, wrote that if he had seen 0110 mi235i0n which more than another deserved tho 'full sympathy and hearty sup- port of Christians it was the Coil - lard mission. , According to the law of his coins ten, 110210 of his subjects can stand in the presence of Lewanika. When he receives white men in his -court- yard in the center of the capital town, a crowd of people are always seen kneeling in semicircles . before him, near cr far. ACCORDING TO THEIR RAIM.: the Ceylon teas aro entirely w - out artificial coloring. The enterprise shown by the Sa- lado `tea Company is not only bene- ficial to 'thelnselves and to Canada generally, but by bringing the mer- its of the product of one colony to the attention of the consumer in an- other colony is doing much to weld the empire together, ,for the Ceylon tea planter is Meth, blood and bone, one of ourselves and the merchant or manufacturer' who brings about a close connection between different parts of .the empire is perhaps more useful than the average politician.
