The Advent of Tea to England
Tea was not used to any extent in England
till about the middle of the seventeenth
century, although knowledge of the won-
derful qualities of the beyerage had reached
Europe as early as 1517. During dile seven-
teenth century, all, tea was imported from
China and cost from $25,00 to $50.00 per
pound. Not until 1836 did any tea reach
England from India, In that year the first
shipment was made from the now famous
tea growing district of Assam. India, to-
day supplies fully half the world's tea re-
quirements and provides some of the finest
teas grown. The rich body of "SALADA"

Kit laid down his bag on the window-

of evil to come, the tin flask echoing
emptily in it. Then he went to the
white wooden "dresser," on whieh the
blue deaf plates were arranged sym-

climbed to the top of the bank to look
