The tea bush is indigenous to Assam in Northern India, and botanists are of the opinion that it is the parent species of all the cultivated varieties in India, Ceylon, China and elsewhere. In a wild State, it grows to a. height of fifteen to twenty feet, but the cultivated shrub is only three to four feet high. Assam being the natural home of the tea bush, it is not surprising that this and other districts in Northern India produce the richest, most pungent teas grown in the world—teas that command higher prices than even the finest Ceylons ; but Ceylon teas are very flavory and fragrant, and seem to be specially made to blend with the richer, more syrupy tea of India. When combined, the Ceylons give point and piquancy to the liquor ; the Indians, richness and strength. The distinctive characteristic of Red Rose Tea, that rich, fruity flavor, is obtained by blending these fine Indians and Ceylons; and another very important feature of Red Rose Tea, viz., its uniformity of flavor all the year round, is secured the same way, something not possible to obtain where Ceylon or Indian teas are used alone. The Blue Label is recommended, and unless you like very strong tea, use only three-quarters as much for a drawing as you use of other teas. T. H. ESTABROOKS, St. John, N. B.

DAIRY INSTRUCTION It is gratifying to the Dairymen's As- sociations and the Deaprtment of Agri- culture to know that the work of In- struction carried on for the benefit of Dairy farmers, owners of creameries and factories, and makers has been produo tive of such marked results. The quality of cheese throughout the season has been above the average, especially during the latter part of the season, and the per- centage of rejections from factories receiving instruction has been far smaller than from those pot receiving instruction The balance in favor of the former is about 7 to 1. The proportion of inferior samples of milk among those tested by Instructors during the past summer was about 40% less than last year, and the number of samples tested was much larger than ever before. Another indi- . ation of the good work being done is that the proprietors of factories and creameries throughout the Province have during the past year expended at least $125,000 more than the preceeding year. The expenditure of such a large amount of money in a season of low prices shows that proprietors have faith in the future of the industry, and are willing to do what they can to insure the production of a first-class article. It is the intention of the Department to pursue the system of instruction more vigorously during the coming season, and with the co-operation of the farmers, the factorymen, and instructors, we may rest assured that the high standard of cheese will not only be maintained, but that another step in advance will bo made.

DEAR FRIEND, We again come to you with our story of trouble, but a story of surprising and en- couraging results. No apology is necessary ; the great work an! the National Sanitarium Association, ccarried on at the Muskoka Cottage Sana- torium and Free Hospital for Consump- tives, is now well known. The 1,500 patients cared for in these two Homes plead for your help. The large number of lives saved, of those who a few years ago were supposed to be " under sentence of death," gives a right ,leo your sympathy. In helping to rescue a number great enough to constitute a large prosperous village, the giving back to home and friends a regiment of workers, surely will arouse interest in this work of merfy. Each patient cared for in our Consump- tivo Homes, removes a source of danger, so that the life of every citizen in Canada is more secure. The marvellous decrsase of 40 per cent. in three years in the death -rate in Ontario from consumption proves that the flea against this dread disease is no losing one. The Muskoka Free Hospital for Conslnnptives, for which this appeal is made, without any endowment keeps an open door to all who are poor and sick, as long as a vacant bed remains. Nearly 400 patients have been cared for in this Hospital since ib was opened less than three years ago. This has only been possible because of the continuous stream of gifts that have come to us from every part of Canada. Remember, too, these were patients that other hospitals as a rule refuse. Almost every trade and profession has sent its representative, and of every age— front the young schoolboy of 12 to the widowed mother of 60. $26,000 was received lasb year by the Trustees of the Free Hospital for Coo sumptives through contributions and bo quests. $50,000 should be given this year if the Board is to provide for the increased ac- commodation and maintenance of those pleading for admission. Where will your money do so much good in bringing health to the sick and protect- ing the lives of those in your home? Why should consumption not be stamped out if the needful money and help be forth- coming ? Tho official Report of the Secretary of the Provincial Board of Health tells a surprising story—a story of a winning fight, showing that from 1897 up to 1900 there was a steady increase in the death -rate from Tuberculosis. Froin 1900 there has been a large de- crease each year, reducing the death - rate from 3,484 to 2,073 in three years, or over 40 per cent. This is all the more remarkable in view of the increase in population. You have the joy of knowing that your dollar has helped in this merciful work. Tho pitiful part of it all is in knowing how many more lives could have been saved if the needful money had been forthcom- ing to provide additional beds. Will you not join in this great life-saving work ? Your dollar will bring gladness, Fifty dollars will keep a sick ono for two months ; may cavo a life. Three hundred dollars will endow e. bed for a year. Yours sincerely TIIE WING 11AN '11:31 ES, Easy to Be aat Expert Pistol 41tet. "Any man with ordinary nerve can become a fair shot with a revolver from the saddle with a few weeks' practice, I believe in a short time a man can Become sufficiently expert to make 85 out of 100 shots," said a regu- lar army officer, "Xou see, it is all in learning when to shoot. The aiming is a small part of pistol and revolver shooting. The aiming is Just like pointing your fin- ger. A man can naturally point his finger at an object accurately. If ho can do that he can aim a gun by situ ply throwing it out in the same way, The reason an unpracticed marksman is no marksman at all is that he stops to aim and gets off the mark or be- comes unsteady in pulling the trigger. Ile must learn his gun, so be will know just the exact instant when it goes off, just how much and how long a pull he must make to snap the trig- ger. When he learns so that it is sec- ond nature to shoot just as he points the gun, he will bit any ordinary mark within reasonable range."—Des Moines Register and Leader. "Poor Pay, Good Tenant:, "It isn't always the tenant who pays his rent on the first of the month who is most desirable," said a household- er the other day. "Your prompt ten- ant is likely to hold you his debtor for that virtue and feel perfectly free to ask for numerous improvements. My best paying property is leased to a man who is always two or three months behind in his rent. Of course I lose the interest on my money for that time, but that is all. In the three years in which he has rented of me he has not bad the nerve to ask me even to paper a room for him. I haven't done it, either. In one instance he had some plumbing done at his own ex- pense when he should have charged it to me. I am constantly afraid that he will get prosperous some day and want to pay me on time. Just as sure as he does I will have to spend several hundred dollars on the house." Safe 11'rom Burglars. "I'm so glad the boys of your com- pany gave you that handsome revolv- er," said the nmilitia captain's wife. "We need have no fear now of the burglars infesting this neighborhood." "That's what!" replied the gallant captain. "I've got it locked up in the office safe where they can't get at it." Three Famous Smokers.

Many Women Suffer Untold Agony From Kidney Trouble. r Very often they think it is from so- called "female disease." There is less female trouble than they think. Women suffer from backache, sleeplessness, nervousness, irritability, and a dragging - down feeling in the loins. So do men, and they do not have "female trouble." Why, then, blame all your trouble to female disease? With healthy kidneys, few women will ever have "female dis- orders." The kidneys are so closely con- nected with all the internal organs, that when the kidneys go wrong, everything goes wrong. Much distress would 'be saved if women would only take DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS at stated intervals. Miss Nellie Clark, Lambeth, Ont., tells of her cure in the following words "I suffered for about two years with kidney trouble. I ached all over, especially in the small of my back ; not being able to sleep well, no appetite, menstruation irregular, nervous irritability, and brick= dust deposit in urine, were some of my symptoms. 2 took Doan's Kidney Pills. The pain in my back gradually left me, any appetite returned, I sleep well, and am effectually cured. I can highly recommend Doan's Kidney Pills to all sufferers from kidney trouble," Price 50 cents per box, or 3 for $1.25.

Iowa Homestead. I refer especially to the matter of excit- ing the dairy cow, In the first place, I have no use for a dog around a dairy farm. One that is properly trained ani is looked after by a sensible person may often be useful without being harmful, but where there are a num- ber of individuals lookiae: after the cows I think the dog should be dis- pensed with. I have many tim(s noticed a falling off of fully one-half in the quantity of milk given by my cows after they have been given a chase by the dog, while I have in mind a few cases where cows under normal conditions gave six quarts at a milking would not give a pint after being chased by a dog. Now, a repetition of this experi- ence for a few times may occur even after a lactation period of only three or four mouths. We have never seen an instance where punishing the dairy cows be- cause they made a mistake did any good, and the milk stool used as a cudgel has been responsible in the past for drying up as many cows as any other factor which we know anything about. The man who does not know better than to kick or pound a cow has no business on a dairy farm, his place being in a mule barn, where les- sons in discipline are given alike by the master and by the animal. Beef or Milk. Is there more profit in beef that we should reduce our milk flow? I know of no figure to prove such. I was great- ly interested in the comparative profits as given by Wisconsin farmers a few years ago, which were invariably on the dairy side. Where milking is a se- rious objection there may be some de- batable ground. There is no doubt that where poor dairy cows are kept up to date beef production would be more satisfactory, but a poor dairy cow feeder would rarely evolve himself into a successful beef feeder at a single turn of the crank. In fact, it is only the educated liberal feeder who could for one moment expect to produce prime beef even upon the hest of beef form. And it has never been contended that there was profit in poorly bred beef stock half fed.—Rural New York- er. Devon Dairy Cattle. The Devon is an all round cow, suitable for the private family and suitable for the business dairy, writes 3. C. Morris in American Cultivator. A DEVON COW. She will do weft when kept alone and can take care ter herself in a herd, She is a long lived cow. She does not I quickly wear out. She is as useful at fifteen years as some cows of five. She has twice the business life 'In her of almost any other cow. The color of the Devon is a dark, rich, glossy red. The cows weigh from 700 to 900 pounds, their average weight being about 800 pounds. The Devon is smaller than the Short- horn, the Hereford or the Holstein, but larger than the Jersey or the Ayrshire. Weed Flavor In Batter. Sometimes cows are starved to eat weeds, while at other times they will eat weeds in spite of all you can do, says L. W. Lighty in National Stock- man. Some flavors can be washed out of the cream, but some "hold the fort" against anything we can advise thus far. Among the latter is garlic. To wash out ragweed or some other kin- dred flavors we run the milk through the separator as usual, then mix with the cream about two and a half times its bulls pure water at 150 degrees and put through the separator again, and the cream will be sweet and normal, but very rich in butter fat. Mixing ' drugs or nostrums with the milk or cream usually makes matters worse and should not be done. Causes of Dairy Failures. Among the chief causes of failure in milk farming, says an Ohio farmer in American Cultivator, are ,lhixed or crossed breeds, trying to make milk cows of beef cattle, selection^of breeds not suited to the purpose, failure to test milk, lack of a special dairy room, which would secure cleaner and more thorough work; failure to read and 1 study about the business. All success- ful business is made so by the persist- ent will and purpose of its promoter. The dairy is no exception. To Get Clean Mille. In order to get clean milk not only should the cow stable be clean and sweet—about ninety-nine out of every hundred are not—so that the breath and blood and tissues of the cow shall not be affected by bad odors, but the Milker should be in perfect health, feeds should be sweet and tree from must and all water tanks clean and free from green shine and strong odors, 0-1<'r&1C10 Farmer.

St. Petersburg Bakers, In St. Petersburg nearly everybody lives in a Sat, and in the basements of these flat buildings are shops. If you live at the top of a flat building you go down an endless stone staircase -- elevators are as yet almost unknown— out of the double doors into the street, and at your feet in the basement be- hold a shop. Say you enter it, in nine cases out of ten you will find yourself in a provision shop, probably a baker's — a German baker's. But, although there are many German bakers' shops, there are also dozens of itinerant Rus- sian bread sellers, who carry about on their heads in baskets and trays their wares—large flat cakes, the size of a pudding plate, that often form a day's sustenance for the moujik, costing 10 kopecks (about 6 cents) and requiring ten sets of teeth to get through them. These men do a brisk trade. Before the peasant makes his dinner off the frozen cake you may see him stowing it away in the breast of his kaftan, where it undergoes the process of a gentle thaw.
