Tea fiit became known in China nearly
3000 years Ix rote Christ. In that couilATy
tea was greatly prized, both for ItS .1."e/rark-
able qualities as a beverage and for the
almost religious eerernony attachea to the
drinking of it. Up to the sixth century,
tea was used only for tnedicirtal purposes.
Even ifri the seventeenth-- century it cost
$25.00 to $50,00 per pound. All tea caddies
were constantly kept under /oak and
key. Today when even fine finality like
" SALADA" costs less than one-third of u
cent per cup, it is not surprising that the
consumption of tea is it/creasing tremen-
dously.
MUSIC AS'IVIEDICINE
By Arthur Mason
The valueof music topereens elif

bang discussed in 'many places,, aid
' edica1 scientisis are -reeordiag more
and more .frequently the result of in
avestigatione they have made in re
epect of music as medicine for body
and mind. -
In.hospital wards, la asylums, in con-
valescent homes., where „elm effect of
music: as stimuli% or :as sedative, is
being tested many times and in ;many
ways, the general result la to 'prove

canproduee, not in all minds, it is
true, but in raincis'Ilige,are susceptible
to music's appeal, a 'condition that in
more or less degree is of -benefit to the
Sufferer.
Soothing or Stimulating Influence.
It would be strange If tide were not
so.- The soothing or the stimulating
influence of music is well known to
hosts of persons in good health who
have exemdenced this power of it to lay
a restful touch upon the heart, and to
eneigise the flagging spirit; Music
e has its universal appeal not only be-
cautie it is pleasant to Beton- to, but
also beeause its way of quietening the
inind and of etirrieg the eingtions le
of direet value in hours when worry
preeses or whenthe emotions are
jaded, That is One of the medicinal
benefits 14 music—for an iniluetioe
that balms the exerted nerves, or im-
Dela- the tired heart to.new activity, is
undoubtedly a healing- influence.
• In, the case of listeners who are deli-

can be little doubt, however, that in

to music, its ,iniluenee upon his mind
is a heanling, softening, soothing or
invigorating I/ilium:tee likely to be of
no s.ma.11 benefit to him. ,
Music as Consolation and Relief.
Medical testimony, it may fairly be
said, definitely suports those .who
claimfot music that it is medicine for
the Mind. The -convalescent, cheered
by the enlivening straibi of it, is helped
towards recovery. The anxious or the

A VARIATION OP THE

The Silhouette still follows straight
and slender lines, but much fullness is
often added to the lower portion of
the skirt by means of the chaular
flounce. A smart combination of ma-
terials is achieved by using a white
and black printed silk for the hnain
portion of the dress, and soft Meek
satin for the collar, circular flounce
and loosely knetted string ties. The
model' pictured, No. 1063, has short
himono sleeves with a seam on shoul-
der, and convertible collar. It is an
'unusually mart design for afternoon
wear. Made in sizes 34 to 42 inches'

yards 36 or 40 -inch material for the
upper ,part and 1% yards for the

glow almost as bright as day., Directly,
In front of him, running to the water's

For another day and eight Baree
eemained in the vicinity of his cache.

lynx, there are also a great many rab-
bits. When the rabbits thin out, the
lynx . emigrate to better, hunting
grounds, As a snowshoe rabbit breeds
all the Spnimer through, Berea found
himself in a land of plenty. '
And thia was straight hitt. the trap-
ping country—Of Pierrot, the halibreed.
Pierrot, until two years ago, had
believed himself to be one of the most
fortunate men in the big wilderness.
Thet was before La Mort Ronge--the
Red Death—caine. He -was 'half
French, and he had married a, Cree
chief's , daughthr, and in their log cabin
en the Grey Lobo they -had lived for
many .years in great prosperity and
happiness. Pierrot was proud of
three thingS in this Wild 'wield Of his:
he was proud of Wyola, his royal -
blooded wife; he as proud of hie
daughter; and he was proud of -his
reputation aa a, hunter. Until the
Red Death came, life Was quite corn -
pie% for him. It was then—two years
ago—that :the smallpox killed his
princees=wife; He sun lived in the
little cabin on the Gray Loon, but he
was a different. Pierrot. The heart
was sick in -him.- It would have died,
.had it not been for Nepeese, his
daughter. PliS wife had named her
Nepeese, whielfineane the Willow, Ne:-
peese had grown up like the willow,
slenderlas a reed, with all her moth-
er's wild beauty, and with a little of
the French thrown in. She wassix
teen, -with great, dark, wenderful eyes,
and hair so beautiful that an agent
from Montreal passing thetway bad
once t-ried to buy it. It fell in two
shining braids, each as big as a man's
almost to her. knees. "Non,
M'sieu,"-Pierrett had. said, a cold glit-
ter in his eyes as he saw what wa$ in
the agent's face. "It is not for bar-
ter." .
Two days after '73gree had entered
his „trapping ground, Pierrot came in
from the forests with a troubled look
inhisfe
"Something is killing off the young
beavers," he explained to Nepeese,
speaking to her in French. "It is 'a
lynx or a wolf. Tomorrow—" He
shrugged his thin shoulders and smiled
4thele.
"Wwill go on the hunt," laughed
Napeese happily, in her soft Cree.
When Pierrot smiled at her like
that, and began with "To -morrow," it
always meant that she might go with
him on the adventure he was contern-
plating.
Still another day later,. at the end
of the afternoon, Baree crossed the
Gray Loon on a bridge of driftwood
that had wedged between two trees.
This was to the north. Just beyond
the driftwood bridge there was a small
open, and to the edge of this Baree
paused to *enjoy the last of the set,
ting sun. As he stood motionless and
listening, histail drooping low. his
ears alert, his sharp -pointed nose
sniffing the neve country to the north,
there was not a pair of eyes in the
forest that would not have taken him
f or a young wolf. .
'From -behind a clump of young bal-
sams, a hundred yards away,. Pierrot
and Nepeese had watched him come
over the driftwood bridge. Now was
the time, and Pierrot levelled his rifle.
It was not until then that Nepsege
touched his arm softly. Her breath
came a ,little 'excitedly as she whis-
peted:
"Nnotewe, let me she'd. I can kill
him 1"
With a low chuckle Pierrot gave
the gun to hen He counted the whelp
as already dead. 'For Nepeese,, at
that distance, could send a bullet into
an inch square nine times out of ten.
And Nepeese, aiming carefully at
Baeee, pressed steadily -with her
brown forefinger upon the trigger.
